About this property
St. John's - Simply Divine, 4 BR, 2.5 Bath, Harpers Ferry
A truly unique stay in the heart of Harpers Ferry--a luxurious home converted from a decommissioned historic church. Beautiful decor drawing on church features and original wood floors & paneling. 1 King bedroom suite, 2 Queen bedrooms, 1 loft with 2 Twins, 1 rollaway bed. 2 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms. 75-inch TV. Full kitchen. Laundry room. Up to 2 dogs ok.
This building was the former St. John's Episcopal Church, built in 1895, and converted to a spacious home in summer 2025. Located in the Harpers Ferry residential Historic District, it creatively honors the building's origins while incorporating modern style and luxurious amenities.
Enjoy an amazing primary suite with King bed and zen-style en suite bathroom.
Additional guests can choose from 2 Queen bedrooms: one with an English Cottage vibe, the other filled with Tuscan Villa romance. A sweet loft with skylights offers two twin beds and a tv monitor for gaming.
You'll find a full elevated kitchen, with an original stained-glass window and an island fashioned from former church furnishings. The kitchen includes a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, beverage fridge, coffee maker, electric kettle, immersion blender, and French press.
The large open-concept former sanctuary includes a dining table for 8, 2 skylights, ceiling fans, a leather couch, 2 recliners and additional comfy seating for the whole family.
Two beautiful full bathrooms and 2 powder rooms.
A total of 3 Roku TVs for your favorite streaming apps plus some live TV options. Games and books are available for rainy or chilly days when you're stuck inside.
On warmer days, enjoy the covered back deck where you can relax and watch the deer in the woods (fan included). Just off the parking lot, there's also a propane griddle for outdoor cooking, and a firepit for making S'mores.
There's free off-street parking in back of the building.
Your retreat is located two doors away from a great bakery and within a block of a new coffee and ice cream shop. It's also in walking distance from restaurants, shops, the Harpers Ferry National Park, the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Headquarters, and the C&O Canal Towpath Trail.
You'll be an easy drive to river rafting and tubing, as well as other great historic sites and numerous wineries and breweries.

About the host
Hosted by Christian Pechuekonis
Christian and Lynn live just around the corner from this property. We've been here since 2017 and absolutely love living in Harpers Ferry. It's beautiful little village brimming with history! We've been hosting a B&B over at our house for nearly 9 years and have loved the hospitality business. Welcoming guests to St. John's is a newer venture.
Why they chose this property
This section of the Harpers Ferry residential Historic District is a bit further off the beaten path, so it's quieter than the old Lower Town area by the rivers and the busy train tracks. It's also close to some of the better restaurants and cafes in town.
What makes this property unique
St. John's was a historic church that closed in late 2023. We love preserving history, so we bought the building and converted it into a home. Our goal was a modern and beautiful dwelling that honored the building's past. It was hard work designing rooms to work well within the available space, but now we're thrilled with the way it turned out. It's a rare listing in the Harpers Ferry Historic District that has a sitting area large enough to accommodate groups of up to 8 guests.
