Important to Note: Ceiling Height
This unique space has a rustic feel, and while the ceilings are lower than standard, they add to the cabin’s cozy charm. Here are the ceiling heights in each area:

Kitchenette: 74 inches
Living Room: 80 inches
Middle Room (Twin Bed): 71 inches
Bedroom (Queen Bed): 76 inches
Bathroom: 76 inches

Most guests adjust quickly to the ceiling height and enjoy the distinctive cabin-like atmosphere. It’s a cozy retreat for hikers, history lovers, and anyone wanting to stay close to trails, historic sites, and local dining.

This is a rustic walkout basement with its own private entrance. Because the unit is located on the lower level, you may occasionally hear the central heating and cooling system. We’ve added a white noise machine to help mask those sounds, and some guests even find it soothing.

Temperature and Comfort
Please note that the thermostat control is located in the main house, so guests do not have direct access to it. Because the basement can feel cooler than the upstairs, we provide two additional heat sources for your comfort: a portable infrared heater and heat from the electric fireplace. The basement also has a dehumidifier that turns on automatically to help keep the space comfortable.

Sleeping Arrangements
Two beds:

One queen bed in the main bedroom area
One twin bed in the middle room

Kitchenette Amenities
The kitchenette is thoughtfully set up for light meal preparation and dining. It includes:

Sink
Electric skillet
Coffee maker
Tea kettle
Toaster
Mini fridge
Microwave
Dishes, silverware, drinking glasses, and coffee cups

The setup is ideal for simple meals, heating leftovers, and enjoying coffee before heading out to explore Harpers Ferry.
Important Notes About the Walkout Basement
This is a clean, well-maintained 100-year-old property with a ground-level walkout basement. The basement door is original, which adds to the home’s historic charm.

The entrance is surrounded by plantings, and the driveway is gravel rather than paved.
Please note that there is an electrical panel located behind the front door. For safety reasons, guests should not open or access it.

Because of the ground-level location and proximity to landscaping, you may occasionally see a harmless spider or other small insects. This is uncommon, but it is possible and disclosed in advance.

This home is pet-friendly, which means that even after thorough cleaning, it is possible a stray pet hair from a previous guest may occasionally be found. That is normal in a pet-friendly property.

If you have an insect phobia or expect the space to be completely free of all natural elements, this may not be the right property for you.

We clean thoroughly between guests. That said, this is a real home cleaned by humans, not a sealed hotel environment or laboratory.

By booking, you acknowledge and accept these conditions. If you are looking for a brand-new, sealed, insect-free environment, a modern hotel may be a better fit.

    Very clean property and although pet friendly, the dog hair was minimal. Comments regarding low ceilings are accurate but not a big deal even at my 6'3 height. Very quiet to the point I took advantage of the white noise maker in the bedroom. Great interior and shower. This owner cares about the stay of their customers!

    This property was very clean and cozy, with handsome interior woodwork. Very quiet and the bed was comfortable with warm linens. The property could use exterior lighting by the entrance (perhaps with a motion sensor?); we arrived in the evening and it was pitch dark. It was difficult to navigate the parking (the directions indicated that there were markings which we could not see and there was a large ditch at the curb). We did not find a thermostat for temperature control but the electric fireplace kept us warm enough.

    The property was welcoming to pets. It took a while to figure out the heating but after we got things started, it was adequate.

    Cute little place and would stay again. Also great location. My only complaints is the porch light wasn’t on so we had a hard time finding the door and the heat wasn’t on so it was very cold when we first got there.

    Location was perfect. You can walk to just about everything to do in the town and historical attractions and trails. It is nice to have parking but a little bit of a challenge. . The day we left there was people staying up stairs for the few hours we were there it was quite loud. We were glad no one was staying up stars the nights we were there. Place is very clean .

    The place was cozy as the title says. It really gives a cabin feel. It had everything we needed for our short stay and plus some. It is pet friendly. It was fairly close to town, which made it excellent because we took the train and walked everywhere. Overall great stay.

    You could not beat the location! It's just a five- to 10-minute walk to the shops in Lower Town and all the historical landmarks. The listing was exactly as described and featured everything one could need for a few nights' stay—I really appreciated the electric skillet so that I had the option to cook something more substantial if I didn't want to eat out. There were definitely a lot of bugs (specifically big and small ants), but that was clearly disclosed in the listing. When there were people in the unit above, I did have to blast the white noise machine to drown out the footsteps and voices, but that's to be expected in a ground-floor unit! The temperature was perfect, and when I got chilly in the evenings, the fireplace warmed the place right up. The property owner was extremely fast in replying when I had a couple questions before I arrived. Definitely recommend this listing!

    Great location! Very responsive owner. I will flag that since it is a basement unit, you can hear if guests are upstairs. But the owner was responsive and communicated with those guests when we asked them to quiet down.

    Beds were comfortable, shower was spacious. Not enough bath towels for two people, and no hand towels, only washcloths. TV was large, but channel access was minimal, unless you had passwords for Netflix, Paramount, Prime Video etc, which we did not have!

    It’s a cute place. Close to walk to a variety of places. The only drawback was all the animal hair! It didn’t appear to have been vacuumed & there was lots animal hair in the extra bed; pic attached

    We just spent one night here and were very impressed with the communication and responsiveness of the owner, Raisa. We had some temperature issues when we arrived due to an overactive air conditioner, but she was quick to get it rectified. My only concern at this point is the tight driveway and parking spaces which we shared with the upstairs client.

    Loved this cute little basement apartment for our stay at Harpers Ferry! Parking was a little tight but at least there was parking. The room still smelled new and beds were so comfortable! Only issue was the upstairs neighbors decided to run their water starting at 5:45am and the water pipes were very noisy in the basement! It woke both me and my friend up… we tried to fall back asleep but gave up by 7 when it was clear they were not turning it off anytime soon. Other than that it was great!
