Cozy and authentic

It was such a treat to stay in this unique old house. The basement is built right into the rock hill! The house is comfortable and convenient even though it has seen so many years. The hosts did a great job decorating and taking care of it. We would love to come back on a warmer weekend and enjoy the yard.

Close to everything

Wonderful home close to many attractions in western Maryland.It’s any easy drive into Harper’s Ferry, Sherpardstown, and it’s walking distance to the battlefield of Antietam. Check out Little Brick Coffee in the morning and if you enjoy wine visit Antietam Creek Winery. The house itself was like a trip to past with all the modern conveniences.It was very clean and despite being in town it was also very quiet. Thanks, we’ll definitely be back!

History and quaintness

We very much enjoyed our stay at this historic house tucked into neighborhood off the main street in Sharpsburg and adjacent to a farm. We especially liked sitting on the front porch overlooking the street and fire company across the street while enjoying our morning coffee. The house had everything that we needed for a wonderful visit. The yard was great for our two small dogs.

Mother/Daughter weekend

We explored Harper’s Ferry and Antietam Battlefield over a beautiful fall weekend. Neither of us are history buffs and didn’t pay much attention to it in school so we learned quite a bit at the National Parks. The home was a perfect theme and location for our weekend. It was interesting to see how the people of the time lived but with modern amenities. We are both tall ladies, (5’11”) so we had to watch our heads. Stairs are steep and tight.

Dog friendly historic home

This is a very unique historic home. The location was great and I appreciated there was alot of little thoughtful extras such as a new half and half in the fridge, tea, even a hair dryer if needed. We loved we could take our dog. We would stay here again.

Nice getaway in the mountains

We had a nice long weekend at this historic property. We loved the history of the house and the area and had a great time exploring Sharpsburg, Antietam Battlefield, Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, the C & O Canal, Charles Town, and the surrounding areas. The home proved to be a good base and we are looking forward to returning for a future visit.

Birthday weekend getaway

We had a lovely time during our stay here. Loved that it was dog friendly. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the evening. It was also close to Shepardstown where we went to dinner and shopping. We also attended the Picklefest at the agricultural center and it was a short Uber drive away. Would definately stay there again.
