The house was more than perfect for our race weekend. It was conveniently close to the race track. Nice local restaurants were within a reasonable drive for late night dinners after a full day on the racetrack! Kitchen was well equipped with everything if we wanted to cook. The house was extremely clean!!

We stayed for an event at the Summit Point Race Facility. House was only 2 minutes away. The house was very clean, like brand new. Plenty of room to relax, good sized kitchen and dining room area. 3 fully functional bathrooms. Also, great response by the owners when we asked questions. All in all a 10 out of 10!

Great historic house that is tastefully remodeled.

The house and check in were perfect. Close to Summit Point Motorsports Park. The place was very clean and the kitchen was wonderful, the bathrooms were luxurious. We will certainly be back. The mini-splits were a welcome addition that allows everyone to control temps in their room

Get stay for friends long weekend

The property is located convenient to Charlestown and Harper’s Ferry. It is only a short ride to Winchester. It had great breweries and wineries nearby. We enjoyed the convenience of having three bedrooms and three bathrooms for three couples. It was a good layout for dining space and living room seating for six. We would all return again to this location.

Great 1850's Renovated House

Extensively renovated 1850's house in Summit Point, WV. I attended the MARRS Labor Day race at Summit Point Motorsports Park. I usually drive home in N VA however for the Labor Day Weekend I decided to stay. What a great find! Owner was super nice, and the house was amazing! Came back home with a Sunday race win to top it all off! Definitely recommend this house and I will be back if it's available!

Gorgeous Home!

We stayed two nights while in town for the Ravenwood Faire. The house was gorgeous and immaculate. Beautiful renovation. The house had everything you could need and more. The beds were very comfortable. The master bath was spa-like! The only downside was that the house is situated between a busy road and train tracks. The train was not very active, but there was a bit of road noise while in the living room, kitchen and front bedrooms. It really didn’t bother us too much, but some thick curtains might help buffer the sound a bit. Tara was very responsive and attentive, and gave us lots of great recommendations for local restaurants. Check in was easy, and check out was a breeze. Even though we were only there for the weekend, this home would be perfect for longer stays. I highly recommend this gorgeous gem of a home!
