About this property

In The Heart Of Antietam

Cold but great service.

We had a mom’s and kids weekend and this place was mostly perfect. The history was cool. It was spacious and location couldn’t have been better. The heat did go out the day before we were scheduled to leave, which is the only reason I didn’t give it a perfect review. The property manager and staff were super responsive and apologetic and as helpful as they could be dropping off space heaters etc. I know stuff like that is also to be expected in old houses, but it was chilly! Based on the service though I would absolutely stay again and have no qualms recommending to others.

Historical trip.

Was the first time to Antietam and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The house was not the Hilton but that was not why we selected it. The house was very clean and well stocked for our purposes.

About the host

Hosted by Hope Cline

I'm an entrepreneur who's main focus is real estate. I grew up in Sharpsburg, Md and have always loved animals. I have 1 son who means the world to me. I love to travel and with my business, I am fortunate to be able to do that often. Please contact me with any questions regarding my listings.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in a house right down the street where my parents still live. Located closely to Antietam Battlefield and other local historic attractions drove me to purchase this home. Sharpsburg holds a special place in my heart with all the memories I have growing up there.

What makes this property unique

In 1763, Joseph Chapline laid out what was to be the first town in Washington County, Sharps Burgh (today known as Sharpsburg.)

On September 17, 1862, The Battle of Antietam (also known as the bloodiest day of the Civil War,) brought devastation, heartache and 23,110 soldiers left dead, wounded, or missing. The sense of community shared by the people of Sharpsburg provided the strength to overcome the devastation and to rebuild the town.

Presently the town looks very much as it did in the 1800s. Modern day conveniences have been added, but have been carefully planned out so as not to interfere with the historical nature of the town.

Sharpsburg is nestled beside the Antietam Battlefield, with various attractions, such as the C&O Canal, Harper’s Ferry, Washington Monument State Park, South Mountain, Crystal Grottoes Caverns, and many others just a short drive away.

Come discover the nostalgia and history that 705 people call home.
