We were very impressed with the cottage. It was even better than the pictures showed. It was so clean and there was plenty of room for the two of us plus our dog. We would definitely stay there again. Marita was fantastic to work with!

Perfect place for sights and relaxing!!

We were excited for our stay at this property after seeing the photos and communicating with the owner - everything was beyond our expectations! The property is beautiful - very clean, comfortable, relaxing, and ready to pamper guests! It's location was perfect as we were able to easily travel to Effigy Mounds, Pikes Peak, downtown McGregor, Marquette, and Prairie du Chien. If we had more time, the Yellow River trails and Lansing area were close by as well. The small town where the property is located is friendly, great for walks, and includes a restaurant within a couple of blocks. We could see the river from the window of the cottage or could sit on the patio to enjoy the evening. The owner is wonderful to work with and has thought of many extras for her guests - from bottled water to area brochures and snacks. We would definitely love to visit again!!

Family Reunion in Harper's Ferry

Staying at the cottage was a perfect spot to walk to all local activities during our reunion. Our Dad and his wife live in Harper's. We're from Florida and met other family members from Washington state, Colorado, and Wisconsin who stayed in nearby rentals. We went to the farmers market, had a picnic in the park, launched the boats for fishing and joy riding, kayaked and paddle boarded, took the little ones to the splash pad, and had a scavanger hunt through out the town that revealed many of its treasures. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the family. Our host made it very comfortable. Thank you!

Quaint retreat

This is my third visit to the Cottage and it did not disappoint. The Cottage is set up perfectly for a wonderful visit of Harpers Ferry. The cottage is clean and well appointed. It truly feels like no detail is forgotten. I’d highly recommend the Cottage for a getaway spot to relax and unwind. Marita is amazing to work with. You’ll be sad to leave at the end of your stay.

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.
