Awesome location, great hosts! We will stay here again for sure. Parking was easy, very comfortable beds, and the renovation is amazing, while still having many elements of the history and charm. Fantastic experience.
The home was great. The owners did a fantastic job of maintaining the historical character while adding fantastic modern amenities. Plus, the communications with the owners were seamless, making the arrival, stay, and departure as easy as could be.

Thanks, Karl! We so happy you had a great experience at St. John’s!
This converted church is breathtaking inside. Such a fun experience staying here. The location is perfect. Walking distance to town and trails. The hosts are attentive and helpful.
My husband and I stayed during January and did not run out of wonder - between the charming town, walkable restaurants, the perfect cappuccino at the Snail, the bonus basement lounge in the property we did not know of until arrival, the well-stocked amenities, and the attention to detail and guest comfort throughout the property. We had the perfect getaway and are recommending the property to our friends. You won’t regret staying in this converted church! The pictures don’t do it justice.
Amazing home! High-end bathroom features, stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds, super cool basement cellar—truly a unique experience with personal touches throughout! Host was very responsive as well. Only thing that I would add is an additional safety measure at historic front door.
Very well-appointed property, nicely decorated and comfortable for the five of us. The historic aspect of the building was interesting and the renovation was thoughtful and respectful of the space. The walk into town wasn't bad for us younger folk, but a bit much for our elder parents...they made it down the hill ok, but we had to drive down for a pick up at the end of the day! Parking is VERY limited in town so having the option to walk from the house was a big plus. Also convenient walking distance to a few places in Bolivar. The step up into the kitchen could be awkward for anyone with mobility issues, but otherwise we thought this place was perfect.
Frank, thanks for the great star rating! You made us smile when, after all the nice things about the place you said in person as you were leaving and your text that "We all had a divine stay," your review commented only that the 4qt pot wasn't big enough for your pasta. :) All the best to you and your lovely wife!
About the host
Hosted by Christian Pechuekonis
Christian and Lynn live just around the corner from this property. We've been here since 2017 and absolutely love living in Harpers Ferry. It's beautiful little village brimming with history! We've been hosting a B&B over at our house for nearly 9 years and have loved the hospitality business. Welcoming guests to St. John's is a newer venture.
Why they chose this property
This section of the Harpers Ferry residential Historic District is a bit further off the beaten path, so it's quieter than the old Lower Town area by the rivers and the busy train tracks. It's also close to some of the better restaurants and cafes in town.
What makes this property unique
St. John's was a historic church that closed in late 2023. We love preserving history, so we bought the building and converted it into a home. Our goal was a modern and beautiful dwelling that honored the building's past. It was hard work designing rooms to work well within the available space, but now we're thrilled with the way it turned out. It's a rare listing in the Harpers Ferry Historic District that has a sitting area large enough to accommodate groups of up to 8 guests.
