Don't be put off by the long and winding road that gets you to this property. The house was perfect for our needs, spotless when we arrived, and the beds may have been the most comfortable I've ever experienced in a rental. Only one bedroom has space for hanging clothes, but it was fine for us. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay.

It’s a nice little cabin situated in a meadow surrounded by a forest. It’s about 20 minutes from Harper’s Ferry. Lots of deer, squirrels, and beautiful scenery.

The house and location were wonderful. The house, located far off the road in a small compound, was far enough away from other houses to feel private, and view from fire pit was beautiful. House is well appointed and comfortably accommodated three adults (could fit one more). Beds and bedding are luxurious, and kitchen has all the basic needs, plus coffee and shower essentials included. Location allows you to explore the area and parks within 20-30 minutes in any direction. We hope to return with larger family to rent both houses!

We chose this location to be near Harpers Ferry, but also away from the crowds. The home was very clean, well stocked kitchen, and plenty of room for friends. The property itself was beautiful, quiet, and full of wildlife. We look forward to returning!

Beautiful place

We had tons of fun! The house is situated on a former farm and there are many acres of land. There are trails you can explore. We saw deer come out every evening, they are not scared of people and come really close. The house itself is new and clean, everything is in great shape. The surrounding area is full of historic sites related to the civil war so there's plenty to do during the day. We recommend this place for a family getaway.

Great place

The ride to it was interesting, very narrow roads! Our map location told us we had arrived before we actually did, and this being a first time rental for us we were a little nervous as to what we paid for! However when we arrived very pleased! Pretty setting out in the woods, very nice accommodations, everything was as pictured! We were in town for a family function so we didn’t get to spend really anytime at the location to truly enjoy but will definitely keep this in mind for future visits! Thank you

A Nice Hide Away

The place was everything as advertised. It was nice and comfortable. Had everything that you would need or want in a vacation home. Was hoping to use the fire pit but did not get the chance. The deer in the evening were every entertaining. We had a very pleasant time there and it met our needs. I would highly recommend it.

Relaxing and quiet property

My husband and my two toddlers and I had a wonderful stay at this home. We enjoyed the property and how secluded it felt and was a close drive to Harpers Ferry and surrounding parks. The house itself was very clean and accommodating for us!
