Great spot near Harpers Ferry
This is a spacious, comfortable home. Walking distance to dining, wine and convenience store. A bit far to downtown Harpers Ferry, but doable. We brought our own grill for outdoor cooking. Amy was super responsive to all my questions prior to our trip. I'd recommend this location to friends and family if ever in the area.

A lovely place to stay
This house is incredibly cozy and comfortable. The 6 adults in our group fit comfortably and happily, and it is in a great location. Easy access to Harpers Ferry and Charles Town. The property manager is very communicative and quickly answered any questions we had about the property. We would recommend staying here!
