Great location, spacious living area, plenty of linens, and excellent fire pit!
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Our stay was ok. The house was cute, but the kitchen not well stocked. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of pillows and blankets. The dining area was perfect for eating and playing games. The WiFi was fine, but we had absolutely no cell service. The area was nice, but we weren’t able to enjoy the outside of the property much. The lawn, walkway and under deck area were overgrown and not well maintained. The outside deck wasn’t well maintained either and the firepit was over grown with grass. Walks along the C&O Canal were nice and if you have kayaks or other watercraft, there is easy access. The towpath along the canal was great for walking and is also great for biking. So if you have either you may want to bring them. There was no guestbook so we couldn’t learn about fun places to visit from previous guests or leave ideas for future guests. Antietam is so close and a great walk through history. There is Nutter’s Ice Cream in Sharpsburg and Shepardstowm, only 15 minutes away, is a cute little town that is worth visiting. And of course, Harper’s Ferry is awesome and only 30 minutes away. Overall the house was ok and allowed us to spend a little family time and take in local sights.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Comfortable and right at the C&O trail, so easy to take lovely walks. The house is clean, the kitchen and dining spaces more than adequate, multiple common areas are nice, as are bedrooms. Minor issue in that it seems the visitors before us made the remote for the downstairs tv disappear. Connection via phone, text etc can be spotty unless you're on the houses wifi, which worked well.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Our stay was okay. The location was lovely but the house was underwhelming - lots of small things broken around the house, humid and dank, don't expect I would return.
