Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
Immerse yourself in rich history while you relax in your comfortable, one-bedroom apartment with kitchenette in the in the 2nd oldest building in town. The inn is the perfect location if you're cycling the C&O, hiking the AT, or coming by train. And you'll be just steps from the world-renowned attractions of Lower Town Harpers Ferry
The Harpers Ferry train station is just across the street. A 2-minute walk brings you to the scenic confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers as well as Harpers Ferry National Park and John Browns Fort.
IMPORTANT: Trains pass by day AND night. Many guests tell us that's one of the things they love about the place, but it can be loud. It's also a very old building and you will hear noise from adjacent apartments. If the noise will bother you, please do not book this property.
PLEASE NOTE: We kindly request that guests sign our "Potomac Adventure" rental agreement within 72 hrs of booking. We'll send an email with the link to our agreement as soon as you finalize your reservation.
Parking is not provided with this apartment. There is metered parking along the street in front of the inn. It's free between 6 pm and 8 am. If you have a National Park pass, you can park for free in the train station parking lot across the street. National Park passes good for 3 days can be purchased for $20.
The unit was outfitted very nicely for the second oldest building in Harpers Ferry. We thought it was funny that there were earplugs available. Someone had complained that the trains were loud but only being there after 4 or 5PM we didn't notice very many. None woke us up(no plugs). Good location with access to trails and historic scenery. The carpet is well used and could be replaced, no biggie. Would go again. Only an hour and 25 minutes from Alexandria Va. even with the rt 340 detour for cliff repair.
The unit was clean and communication was excellent. We enjoyed the location being right in town and near the C& O trail. There was a nice area on the porch for us to store and charge our ebikes. The parking was not a problem as we had just purchased a year long National park pass which was good to park at the train station right across the street. I would mention that the ceiling is somewhat low and if you are over 6 ft tall it may feel claustrophobic. Also, if you plan on cooking, the kitchen is not that well equipped.
I stayed here while in town to visit family. I have been to the area a bunch of times and was excited to stay at one of the historical sites while in town. They provide everything you need to feel at home would stay again.
Excellent, unbeatable location as advertised. Large kitchen space. The bedroom area of the unit is only closed off by two flimsy farm style sliding doors that don’t block sound or light. There is a conspicuously large hole in the center of the door frame for a knob, but is just an open space. This was inconvenient- if you are hoping for a little bit of privacy or even some quiet from the television in the living room you will find this unit lacking. Sound was an issue from the pipes in the old building and the train. A few weeks before our reservation the hosts contacted us to say that the parking space that was advertised would no longer be available. We had some exchanges about possibly them buying us a parking spot at the train station across the street, but then that didn’t work out because they found that difficult to plan in advance. Ultimately, I paid $30 for one day of street parking, but was able to arrive on Friday night/leave Sunday AM without having to pay. The train station across the street has a full lot by 8:30 in the morning. Curiously, there are three reserve spots for the 1799 inn. We never saw them used, or if one was used there was always one available. However, we were not given permission to park in that spot so we didn’t. But we were puzzled by the situation. Requires guests to do dishes and organize laundry but charges a cleaning fee. A bag of trash was left outside the front door for our stay.
Staying in an historic building is a special experience. From the 1799 you can easily walk to all the great spots in Harpers Ferry!
This was by far our best experience to date! The room was exactly as it was shown to be in pictures. The Pullman sweet was surprisingly bright considering it's located on the lower street level. The first thing we noticed was how clean the suite was, and comfortable. The property manager was extremely communicative and available for any questions we had. We were delightfully surprised to come back from enjoying a picturesque meal at one of the local restaurants, to see a ghost tour right in front of the 1799 Inn. It made the experience that much more fun. The sites and feel of Harper's Ferry make this a new favorite for us both.
We truly enjoyed our short stay. The place was just as described. Great communication with owner. Area was fantastic!
We truly enjoyed our stay - perfect location You can walk and hike everywhere and enjoy the scenery. Place was clean and comfortable. Plan on returning in the near future.
The apartment is looked close to all shops and restaurants. The parking is right next to the apartment. It was spacious, clean, and charming!
