    We had a marvelous time during our stay at Carrot Top Cottage. The cottage was lovely with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. It was beautifully decorated and well stocked with essentials. Our hosts, Cathy and Bryan were available but not intrusive and communicated with all essential information. The location could not have been better. I would definitely recommend this particular place should you wish to explore and spend some time in the Harper's Ferry area. We loved it !

    As soon as we entered the Carrot Top Cottage, we felt completely at home. The cottage is a perfect mix of cozy charm and modern convenience. We enjoyed cooking several meals in the well-stocked kitchen, relaxed each night with wine on the porch, and also in the comfy living room. Walking distance to downtown area and Appalachian Trail. We would definitely stay again!

    We loved this little cottage! We wanted to pick it up and take it home with us. It was extremely well stocked and comfortable. We had rain all day on our last day there, but the cottage was so comfortable, that we just spent most of our day there. It’s very conveniently located. Although the cottage itself is technically surrounded by national park land, we drove to the visitor center and rode the trolley to Lower town. Lower town is amazing! Also, Antietam is only about 30 minutes away. It’s also a great national park.

    Cottage was very clean, inviting and unique. Easy access to shops and restaurants as well as National Historical Park. The owners initiated most of the communications regarding check in and check out and communicated both emails and texting. Would love to come back and stay again!!

    My family had a great stay at the cottage. It's a short (but steep) walk to town and very convenient to the Appalachian Trail. We had a fun time exploring Harper's Ferry. There were 2 baby deer that visited the yard on multiple occasions. We stayed in July and the AC did a good job of keeping the house cool, it was also convenient having a washer and dryer. Would stay again if we're back in the area!

    Absolutely a great place and location. Our plans completely changed after getting 6” of snow and then a deep freeze, but we were comfortable and were able to prepare all our meals with the equipment and utensils provided. Communication was great, check in easy and no extravagant check out demands. Can’t wait to come back

    We enjoyed this weekend away as we explored the history and adorable shops of Harpers Ferry. We loved being close enough to walk on the Appalachian Trail and into town. We loved seeing the deer off and on the whole time we were there. The home was clean and super cute inside! Thank you for this nice weekend away for our family!

    The house was very clean with a nice porch and backyard. It was about a 10 minute walk to lower Harpers Ferry and Bolivar. The house was perfect for our nice weekend tripto celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

    The Carrot Top Cottage exceeded our expectations! The house was stocked (minus food), like it would if you lived there. They even had cooking oil, salt/pepper, and plenty of dish towels in the kitchen. Our children enjoyed the upstairs. It's the kind of room I would have lived to have as a kid. We were greeted by deer and groundhogs in the yard. The Appalachian Trail was extremely close and easy to take down into town. Be prepared for a hike back up to the house if you walk to town, but you can do it! The location, supplies, and everything was top notch!

    When me and my husband got to the cottage it instantly took us back to our childhood. The smells of the plants outside, the creaking of the screen door, the porch, the decor inside reminded me of grandmothers house. It is the cutest little house with so much detail. My boys had the loft upstairs and were so excited about the spiral staircase. Everyday there were three baby deer that would wonder up to the cottage. I give this a full 5 stars. We loved everything about this place. We will definitely be back.
