About the host

Hosted by Christy Bouska

Host profile image

We have vacationed in Harper's Ferry since the early 80's when I was a young girl. It was our solace and get away from our busy lives, looking at the river, the birds and nature. It was a quick walk to the dock for a boat ride for fishing, skiing, hitting a sand bar or just sight seeing. In the winter we would go sledding and tubing on some of the hills nearby. A quick drive to Lansing, Prairie du Chien or other towns, we were able to find something to do, eat or explore if we wanted to. Now we share these memories with our children, our extended families and friends, and we want others to share our cabin with others.

Why they chose this property

Our view and direct access is amazing. We have spent many hours watching birds, boats, stars and nature right in front of us. Its open floor plan allows for conversation and relaxation. It is steps away for fishing off the dock, even without a boat. And grilling while looking over the river- its amazing.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views, lots of outdoor space, and relaxing atmosphere. Family antiques, unique décor and other fun oddities are throughout the house. We have provided lots of games, indoor and outdoor, to have fun. Our cabin is designed to relax and unwind.
