Great location. Would have liked to have TVs and ceiling fans in all bedrooms but we managed. Some minor maintenance issues but nothing that inconvenienced us.

Fun Thanksgiving family gathering

We gathered our children and grandchildren for Thanksgiving at this lovely house. The layout was great - the kids took over the lower level, enjoying the air hockey table, games, and TV while the adults cooked and talked upstairs. Although we couldn't enjoy it in November, the house has an amazing outside deck with a wonderful view of the river. We hiked into town and on several other trails in the area. The host was very attentive in responding to emails with my questions.

good privacy and good fenced in back yard.

The place was very clean. Soaps and towels were in excess. I did not take in the water views from the inside as I expected but it was all there. The back yard was nicely fenced in and a privacy wall in place. Good place for a family to stay with small children and pets. Hiking trails were close by but down a steep hill. There was a roping system in place, to help get up and down. I read where others complained about it, but we thought it was a lot of fun. Once you are on the path it is easy. We were able to walk to Harpers Ferry and get coffee in the morning and that was a bonus.

Family get together

Great location and very peaceful. Loved having 2 bedrooms upstairs and two down since there were infants. Only things that I wished were different: little tree fell outside by gate which wasn’t appealing to look at along with mound of rocks. The fallen tree made it difficult to walk through the side gate (a lot of walking with children). Also wished lawn was cut. But going in October sure was a beautiful time to go!

Great spot for family to convene

Our family of four (kids aged 12 & 9) met up with grandparents and one uncle & cousin here for a nice weekend together. It was a good home base for a day of whitewater rafting and another spent exploring Historic Harper’s Ferry. The immediate area isn’t super walking friendly, but if you’re willing to scramble down a short, steep trail across from the property you can access the C&O path. The porch is a lovely place to sit in the evening, gorgeous string lights and fire pit was great to have. The kids loved having the air hockey table! Kitchen is well-appointed. Appreciated how there were plenty of towels and extra blankets! Would definitely stay again.

From peaceful relaxation to outdoor exploration, I take pride in curating a space that feels like a home away from home, allowing visitors to create their own cherished memories in this extraordinary setting.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, offering the perfect backdrop for reflection or adventure. Whether you're sipping coffee on the deck or taking a leisurely stroll along the riverbank, this serene retreat rejuvenates the soul.
