Good option for exploring the charming town
We enjoyed being in town and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. The house is very large and can accommodate a good size group. Amy is a friendly and helpful host. We found the house to have a bit of an awkward layout and rather dark except for the front bedroom and living area. Our sense is that the kitchen and bathrooms could use updating

This house is located in the center of town, and walkable to many places, or a short drive away. The owner was helpful before and during our stay. We look forward to returning for another visit soon. This was a great place to stay during the Contemporary American Theater Festival.

Girls Weekend in Shepherdstown
Amy’s place was lovely. It was very clean and had everything we needed - I thought it looked even better than the pictures on VRBO. Amy was very responsive and easy to communicate with; Shepherdstown is adorable and close to lots of historic attractions and hiking trails in the area. Perfect place for some time away from the city!

Great location to visit Shepherdstown
We came back to Shepherdstown to dine and visit the record store. Everything we wanted to do was within a five minute walk. The Press Room across the street is a little gem of a restaurant. The Thai place next door was a delightful surprise. The shrimp pad thai was top notch! The house was well appointed and comfortable. When not out roaming, we were able to relax and recharge.

Great location for the CATF theater festival
This is our 2nd year at the Yeasley House while attending the annual Contemporary American Theater Festival. It is a great location to enjoy the festival and Shepardstown. This year there were 4 of us. There was plenty of room to be together and privacy if you want to be alone. The house is well equipped and very clean

We enjoyed the kitchen and living room, both very comfortable.
We spent two nights over the weekend. We were particularly pleased with the kitchen and bathrooms, Well furnished. We were mainly seeing plays, eating out and shopping. The bedroom at the front of the house needs better lighting. The outdoor lights leading to the front door right at the last step are not working which made it difficult to see at night.

Historic Hidaway
We love Shepherdstown and were happy to find a home there to stay during the holidays. The house is charming and surprisingly well maintained and equipped. Large spacious rooms with comfortable beds, laundry room, separate heat control for each floor. We had everything we needed and were more than comfortable. Our host was easy to deal with and accommodating of all our needs and requests, including allowing us an early check-in to decorate for the holidays. We'll keep this one on our list of places to return to and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming location to visit and a warm and welcoming place to stay.

Quiet Getaway
Immaculately maintained property! Visited Shepherdstown for a family getaway. Host was excellent communicator from moment we chose our place. She gave perfect directions to assist us in locating her property and made sure everything went smoothly. She communicated upon our arrival to let us know she was available if we needed anything. We were a party of four adults and found the house perfectly appointed. We were close to restaurants and ate at the Bavarian Inn one night and ordered takeout from the Blue Moon cafe the next. Both were excellent. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

The best!
This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Nice, clean home with comfortable beds. Kitchen is stocked, if you want to cook, but I suggest eating at ALL the restaurants on German Street. Amy, the hostess, is a very nice woman and she’s easy to work with. She really goes above and beyond for her guests. For our stay, she contacted me to see when we would arrive. She gave us an earlier check in time. She has this place stocked. If we needed paper towels or toilet paper, she has it. She has extra light bulbs. She has laundry detergent, cleaners, soaps, shampoo and conditioner. I was shocked and thankful. She’s so thoughtful, she has earplugs on the nightstand. Amy and her husband are the BEST hosts a traveler could ask for. Definitely recommend. 5 stars. 10/10. We would/will stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Bowman

Host profile image
I'm a West Virginian by way of Houston, Los Angeles, and DC. Southern at heart, I love to host intimate dinner parties for friends. Long drives in the beautiful West Virginia countryside is one of my favorite past-times, along with shopping and home decorating.

Why they chose this property

We purchased the Michael Yeasley House and they guesthouse you will be staying in because of the historic nature of the home. The main house was built in 1795. The guesthouse was build in 2004 and has all of the modern conveniences. The main-house fronts onto German Street, which is the main drag. All of the town's amenities are just a short stroll away.

What makes this property unique

You'll love staying in a modern home smack-dab in the middle of a historic town. Walk to local restaurants & antique shops. Across the street from Shepherd University. Rafting, kayaking, and hiking within walking distance. A short drive to Charles Town Casinos and Antietam Battlefield. Ninety minutes from DC and Baltimore.
