Our family spent Christmas at this wonderful home, and it was the perfect holiday getaway. The house itself is incredibly cozy, but the real highlights were the magnificent views and the easy river access—which the anglers in our group loved for some holiday fishing! We spent our evenings staying warm around the fire pit, soaking in the atmosphere. The hosts were excellent and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy retreat!!

Great little cottage situated at a gorgeous location overlooking the Patomic. Great location for exploring Harper’s Ferry and the surrounding area. Amenities were great and the rooms were comfortable. Check-in and check-out were very easy and the owner was readily when needed but gave us plenty of space. We hope to come back someday and stay longer!
