The Perfect Weekend Getaway

Harpers Ferry is a must visit, and the Carrot Top Cottage was the perfect location to be completely immersed in the history and quaitness you'd expect to find.The hosts are 2nd to none and quick to act when situations out of their control occurred. The power outage literally set the town back into the early 19th century. We will definitely be visiting again, and would recommend to coupmes of all ages.

We were riding the C&O the owners let us know about a crossing issue and gave us a contact to solve that. On our ride we had some bike troubles. The owners again came to our rescue with a contact for a contact!!! The little carriage room was just perfect.

This place was perfect for my husband and I. We were able to hike some on the Appalachian Trail which was basically in the back yard. It had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The communication and check in was great.

Cozy, clean accommodations

In a great location for walking to the historic area of Harper's Ferry, the Appalachian trail, and Jefferson Rock. If you are fond of cemeteries it is close to Harper's cemetery. Hosts' gave great suggestions of places to eat and things to do.Cozy and clean - if you want a lot of space, you'll probably want something else, but this was perfect for just us especially since we were busy out sight seeing!

Birthday Gift

My wife gave me this trip as a birthday gift (birthday November 7) for my 80th birthday. We walked from the cottage to the town each day which truly proves I am still in shape (lol). We enjoyed our walks, the cleanliness and comfort of the cottage, and the food.

Quaint, private, quiet, romantic. Had a warm, romantic feeling. It’s just the right amount of space with a great couch and comfortable bed for two. There is a common area with a fire pit, which was delightful. We had deer In our backyard in the evenings and several other wildlife. It would have been perfect if we had access to a grill. Excellent communication with the owners! The town shuts down early in the evening limiting dinner choices. However 15 minutes away there is access to numerous restaurants. The location is amazing to the old town of Harpers Ferry. The accommodations had updated Tv and charging stations. Definitely would love to stay there again!!

Wonderful Cottage

Clean, was perfect for me and my Husband. A little of everything we needed for our stay. I would however, like the tall bush by the entrance door trimmed away a little better. Not much room to step down and turn to open the door and carry luggage. Over all, beautiful location and cottage.
