This was a great location for us to explore Harper's Ferry for a couple of days! We loved the historic feel of the house and it had everything we needed. Tracey was helpful and responsive. The trains were only an issue for the light sleeper, but we appreciated the sound machine.

Great host and beautiful property. The only downside is closeness to railway tracks. A problem only if you’re a light sleeper. Otherwise great value for the price.

We loved this property! Quirky and cute and the location was great. We spent part of the day exploring vineyards in Virginia and the evening in Harper’s Ferry - everything was easily accessible from the property. The hosts were incredibly nice and responsive. We will definitely return for another weekend getaway in the future!

The location was excellent- very pricimate to downtown Harper's Ferry, Harper's Ferry brewing, and other attractions. The train goes by many times a day but is never bothersome. Tracey was extremely communicative and responsive.

We had an absolutely lovely time at the Knoxville historic stone house. The house was clean and had all the comforts of home. My husband especially loved having access to the instruments in the entertainment room. The host was exceptional and responsive. We would absolutely stay again next time we are in the area.

Great house near Harper’s Ferry

Nice home close to Harper’s Ferry. Well decorated with antiques and instruments. It is across from the railroad track, so lots of loud freight trains, but as a train lover I loved it.

Cozy weekend getaway

Great location and nice space for our girls’ crafting weekend! Fully stocked w everything you need, just bring a suitcase and a blow dryer. We enjoyed waving to the trains going by day and night; and the fireplace was a warm and welcome bonus to the spacious dining area! Overall, a great stay! Thank you Tracey!

Perfect short weekend getaway

This place is perfect for a couple. Bedroom is also good if you have kids. Perfect place to stay if you visiting Harper’s Ferry and 5 minutes from the Brewery. You could see the house from the hill if the trees weren’t in the way. 18 minutes from Charles Town. Very Cozy 1800 feeling place.

Great location with amazing historical touches!

Our family of 4 (including teen children) had a great experience. The home is just as pictured with all of the vintage touches to make an immersive visit to Harper’s Ferry and the surrounding area. The host offered us great suggestions for dining in nearby towns which was a wonderful compliment to our time in Harper’s Ferry. Communication was terrific and check in was smooth. I would definitely recommend this home to others traveling to the area.

Great spot, tons of character!

The house was just the right size for our family, including two little ones. We really appreciated that there were guards to put on the side of the beds so that our little ones did not roll out.The location was great for everything we needed to do nearby, and the kids got a kick out of seeing the train go right past the front door. The music room was a hit as well!

We rented this home for a long Thanksgiving weekend weekend with our son and family. We were able to prepare Thanksgiving dinner and several other meals in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed them all at the lovely dining room table. Our grandson is a "rail fan", so the two front porches were the perfect location to watch freight and passenger trains go by several times a day. The drum set in the living room was an unexpected treat. We also enjoyed excursions to nearby Harpers Ferry.

Spotless and roomy for 3 adults. The owner thought of our every need. A sunset libation on the front porch made the day perfect. The decorations for Halloween made us feel in season. Dinning table was gigantic. Beds were very comfortable. Thanks for a great stay,

Host was incredibly responsive and allowed an early check in. Fun and interesting decor throughout, updated home with most things you could need (I didn't see a hair dryer, but imagine the host would have brought it if I had asked) and some things that were a great surprise like the drum set which my 2 and 10year old enjoyed. Great location for us close to Harpers Ferry and my kids enjoyed the trains passing by. New Mexican restaurant close by is pretty good as well. Would stay again. Where original, floors could use some patching in some places where you worry that they may give out.

This was a cute historic house. Don’t let the outside fool you. It’s a nice mix on historic and modern. Everything was clean and the host was easy to reach. The train going by right in front of the house is very cool. Very short drive to Harper’s ferry. Great location. Do expect some spiders that come with an old home. Check in and check out were also very easy!

Great place & great host

We stayed over the holiday weekend and had an excellent time. The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as pictured. That’s a small portrait of John Brown in case you were wondering! Tracey was very responsive to any questions we had and she was on top of clearing the patio and stairs of snow that had fallen Sunday. Cleaning the snow off my car was a thoughtful step above anything I’d experienced. I slept through the trains but my girlfriend said ear plugs helped. If you’re on the fence and looking for a weekend getaway, go for it, you won’t be disappointed.
