Great host communication-one of the nicest properties we have stayed in. Very clean home and comfortable beds. Gorgeous river views and very peaceful, quiet area. We were visiting for a wedding and the location was perfect; close to groceries,bakeries and restaurants. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Wonderful house, with porches overlooking the river, adjacent to the Tow Path walking and biking trail, and within walking distance of Harpers Ferry. Kitchen was well stocked, house was very clean, and bedrooms worked well for our 4 couples (with one bedroom to spare). Michael was always very quick to respond to any questions or issues we raised, and he provided useful info about the area and things to do. Driveway would be tight for 4 cars, as Michael had forewarned us (we had just 3 cars), and backing onto the street when leaving was a bit challenging. (We positioned a person at street-side to watch for any oncoming traffic.)

We had such a good time staying here. The house was spacious, super clean and well taken care of, but what really makes this house stand out is that on every level there are stunning views of the river. It's within easy drive of Frederick, Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry. We hiked to HF with no problem, and hung out at the Harpers Ferry Brewery in the evening (which is 5 minutes down the road). On top of all that the host, Mike, is incredibly responsive. Whether it was a quesiton about the house or recommendations of where to eat in the area, he responded almost immediately. This place is an example of what a great VRBO experience should be like. We will deifintely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Brown

Host profile image
I am a native Floridian who relocated to DC over twenty years ago. I love this place which has been described as the "Greenest big city in the U.S." . I am an avid nature lover and savor living next to the Potomac River, also known as "the wildest urban river in the world." We live just minutes from Great Falls, with world class kayaking and ferocious rapids. When we are not enjoying city life in our Nation's Capitol, we relax at our mountain retreat an hour away in Boonsboro, MD. We enjoy welcoming guests from around the world into our homes and look forward to meeting you.
