About this property

St. John's - Simply Divine, 4 BR, 2.5 Bath, Harpers Ferry

A truly unique stay in the heart of Harpers Ferry--a luxurious home converted from a decommissioned historic church.

This building was the former St. John's Episcopal Church, built in 1895, and converted to a spacious home in summer 2025. Located in the Harpers Ferry residential Historic District, it creatively honors the building's origins while incorporating modern style and luxurious amenities.

Enjoy an amazing primary suite with King bed and zen-style en suite bathroom.

Additional guests can choose from 2 Queen bedrooms: one with an English Cottage vibe, the other filled with Tuscan Villa romance. A sweet loft with skylights offers two twin beds and a tv monitor for gaming.

You'll find a full elevated kitchen, with an original stained-glass window and an island fashioned from former church furnishings. The kitchen includes a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, beverage fridge, coffee maker, electric kettle, immersion blender, and French press.

There's free off-street parking in back of the building.

Your retreat is located two doors away from a great bakery and within a block of a new coffee and ice cream shop. It's also in walking distance from restaurants, shops, the Harpers Ferry National Park, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Headquarters, and the C&O Canal Towpath Trail.

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.

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.

99%. Could use a large 6 qt pot to boil pasta

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

Host profile image
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.
