I had a lovely, comfortable stay at this property. It is a very well-maintained new build, was super clean, quiet, decorated beautifully, and of course there is the surrounding beauty of the driftless region!!! Be aware that the town of Harper's Ferry offers very few amenities. The quiet charm of this community is of course a plus, but if you want to eat somewhere other than a local bar, it is a 15-20 minute drive to restaurants in Prairie du Chien, Marquette or McGregor. Same for a grocery store, but even then, when I looked in this property's kitchen for a skillet to cook eggs in for breakfast - I was disappointed to find only a very scratched up skillet that I decided not to use. This could totally be just my strict personal preference, but I avoid using cookware with that much wear and tear because of the risk of toxic metals leeching into my food. Even so, I know that a couple of new skillets is an easy improvement for the manager to make, and I would recommend this property 100%. It was quiet, very comfortable, and I enjoyed multiple walks to the small park nearby where there were benches to sit and watch the river, and the fisherman and women who navigate it. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Why they chose this property

We are the second owners of this property since Harpers Ferry was incorporated! It was in my great-aunts family for well over 100 years. We feel very fortunate and take great care for the next lucky owners. We think you'll enjoy the location, too!

What makes this property unique

Take a moment to enjoy the western sky at night . . . from the comfort of the bed! There's a lovely view of the twinkling stars on clear nights.
