The place was very tidy and clean. The host was very responsive to every question and concern. The kitchen allows for a cozy stay with a full stove and oven. Plenty of space. Beautiful Sunsets

Host quickly and patiently answered my many questions. House was very clean with a beautiful view. Good central location to Harper's Ferry, Charles Town and Sweet Run State Park.

The road up to the place was as advertised, bumpy and steep in spots, but no problem with an AWD vehicle. The house felt comfortable, nice couch to lounge on. The kitchen was adequately stocked with items needed for cooking. The fireplace was nice to have to take the chill off at the end of the day. More psychological than anything else for a person who loves sitting by a fire. Close to Harpers Ferry which is what we wanted. The host met us with the keys and showed us around upon arrival.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
We travel A LOT and this is one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. Check in was unusual the owner met to give us the key. This was unsettling as we were three women traveling alone in a strange place. There is a lock box on the door so I am unsure why it was necessary to personally hand over the key.
Sadly there is a lack of transparency that needs to be addressed. Per the listing there are "old" vehicles in neighboring yards, that is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. You basically take an ATV trail through a junk yard up a mountain. I would NEVER attempt to take a car up the road. Its unfair of the owner to assume everyone would be safe doing so. I understand they are used to roads like this but someone who isn't familiar with navigating a "gravel road" with giant ruts gullies and hairpin turns would struggle to make the trek up safely. I drove an SUV up and it was rough. It was apparent the owner wants you to come in a certain way because it takes you by less alarming properties. GPS is a more direct route but it's STEEP!
You are never more than 50yds from an ancient abandoned camper with no doors or windows that someone actually lives in. Not to mention the 100s of sick looking feral cats or emaciated dogs tethered to the campers. The surrounding properties are visually disturbing and somewhat terrifying but the house across the road is newer. I understand that some are things the owner has no control over, however do your due diligence and read the reviews.
