Felt very comfortable in your home. Well equipped, comfortable bed, very clean and pleasant. Deck was nice, although we did not have the best weather to enjoy it.
We enjoyed relaxing on the front and back porches after a day of hiking on the Appalachian Trail. The kitchen was well stocked to cook our meals and the large dinning table provided a place to gather and share our daily adventures. Comfortable beds, hot showers and laundry made for a great hiking retreat with friends.
House was well stocked and beds were comfortable. House had a musty smell throughout and there were numerous bees on the interior and exterior. Beautiful setting!

Hi Tammy, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the house, comfortable beds, and everything was well-stocked. - We have had a lot of rain in the area, and it could be that the basement got a little muggy. We are sorry about this, we will look into it right away. - We have regular scheduled visits from pest control to keep the bugs/bees at bay. We ask that this be brought to our attention immediately so that we can rectify the issue. We want everyone to be able to enjoy their time here.We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
The property was just as expected and fit our needs for a few days of relaxation in the Harpers Ferry area. Nicely appointed with comfy beds, a well-equipped kitchen, big yard and fire pit, and a quiet residential neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others in that area.
This home is very well kept and clean. Beds were comfortable. Everything we needed was there and there were some very nice touches. The yard was a dream for my daughter’s city dog. Location was great for exploring the area. The only downside would be the neighborhood roads. They would be challenging at night but were fine in the day. Highly recommended!
The house is older but was clean and had everything we needed (except a colander for draining spaghetti noodles). The beds were comfortable. There’s a cute beach close by with a lake to swim or boat, $8 a day for adults and $5 a day for kids. Very enjoyable and easy booking and check in.
Super clean and exactly as advertised! So quiet and peaceful. No skimping on toilet paper - the nice stuff is provided! That gives you the idea of quality there.
I stayed for a week and my parents joined me for a few days. The home was great! The property was as expected from the photos - spacious rooms, a nice front porch, big back deck and yard. Check in and check out were very easy. Its very quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for. This proprty is about 15 min from Harpers Ferry, Charlestown, and Martinsburg. Tons of vineyards in the area, river fun, lots of out doors stuff close by. I really enjoyed my rereat here!
The home is located in a mostly quiet neighborhood. There were times in the evening that we heard dirt bikes traveling the roads which were somewhat disturbing. Otherwise, the house was great! Lots of room, fully stocked kitchen with all the essentials and a large table for our meals and playing games. We enjoyed the location for visiting Charles Town, Harpers Ferry, Frederick and the many other civil war sites. Thank you for a memorable stay.
Wonderful place to stay. Quiet. Our first day I heard something on the front porch. It was a goat and a sheep. That was a nice welcome. My Boston Terrier loved the back yard but he thought the deer that visited daily was a dog. We have a mastiff. Every thing was clean and had every thing we needed to make our stay comfortable.
Property older than expected. Especially basement play area. Outdoor decking. Maintained as well as possible. Comfortable and clean.
