Our family really enjoyed the cottage and it was the perfect spot from which to explore Harper's Ferry. The property was very clean and thoughtfully stocked when we arrived. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay from extra blankets to night lights was provided.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Our family spent Christmas at this wonderful home, and it was the perfect holiday getaway. The house itself is incredibly cozy, but the real highlights were the magnificent views and the easy river access—which the anglers in our group loved for some holiday fishing! We spent our evenings staying warm around the fire pit, soaking in the atmosphere. The hosts were excellent and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy retreat!!
