Family Reunion in Harper's Ferry

Staying at the cottage was a perfect spot to walk to all local activities during our reunion. Our Dad and his wife live in Harper's. We're from Florida and met other family members from Washington state, Colorado, and Wisconsin who stayed in nearby rentals. We went to the farmers market, had a picnic in the park, launched the boats for fishing and joy riding, kayaked and paddle boarded, took the little ones to the splash pad, and had a scavanger hunt through out the town that revealed many of its treasures. It is a wonderful place to enjoy the family. Our host made it very comfortable. Thank you!

Quaint retreat

This is my third visit to the Cottage and it did not disappoint. The Cottage is set up perfectly for a wonderful visit of Harpers Ferry. The cottage is clean and well appointed. It truly feels like no detail is forgotten. I’d highly recommend the Cottage for a getaway spot to relax and unwind. Marita is amazing to work with. You’ll be sad to leave at the end of your stay.

Why they chose this property

We are the second owners of this property since Harpers Ferry was incorporated! It was in my great-aunts family for well over 100 years. We feel very fortunate and take great care for the next lucky owners. We think you'll enjoy the location, too!

What makes this property unique

Take a moment to enjoy the western sky at night . . . from the comfort of the bed! There's a lovely view of the twinkling stars on clear nights.
