RIVERKEEPER INN, Waterfront Property on the Potomac River

Beautiful location right on the Potomac River.

We had a wonderful weekend! Everything was perfect. Great human hosts and dog host! Thank you!

It was awkward and uncomfortable having the owners on the same property as they were not . very friendly to us they acted rude and stuck up! The dock, stairs and “cottage” all need building code updates to be considered safe enough to rent. The couple that lives there was always around and it just felt like we were being watched all of the time like I was intruding on their space. I didn’t feel safe, because we were surrounded by equipment and flammables outside and inside the garage connected to it. I was under the impression we would be close to water with no owners on site. The unit itself smelt horrible like cigarettes and mildew and it made me sick…I’m literally sick and I spent money for my daughter’s bday and we did not enjoy our stay! The docks were surrounded by sharp rocks and weeds with stickers that hurt badly if you touch them which was near impossible not to do. I don’t think they should be allowed to rent until they fix some major mold, smoke and safety issues. I will be requesting a refund it definitely was not work 300 a night!!! Don’t believe the reviews. They also need to mention that you will not have cell service to map to their property so you have to make sure you have a print out of the directions or a paper map. We were stuck for hours trying to find our way there. Thanks Expedia!

Bill and Robin were great hosts. We were looking for something quiet and relaxing and we found it. We spent Thanksgiving and the weekend after there, despite not having a stove or oven, we were able to prepare our meal with the use of the grill and hot plate that was provided. The beauty of the river and surrounding property was great. Being able to wake up and go sit on the decks and have a cup of coffee was just the remedy to help decompress and recharge. Shepherds town was great with the first weekend of Christmas shopping as was Harper’s Ferry. Harper’s Ferry is always something special but we really enjoyed Shepherdstown’s Main Street and stores. Charlestown was a bust, not very much shopping on Main Street, very disappointed that more money was spent on gambling then their Main Street. The Bavarian Inn and lodge was a pleasure to have a meal at. There is elegant dining or you can eat in the pub area for a more casual environment. The food was excellent and service was fantastic. We have been talking about finding a place to go every year for Thanksgiving and I think we have found it. We look forward to heading back next year and maybe even a couple time in between.

The Riverkeeper Inn is located at a lovely spot along the Potomac River and is in a tranquil and relaxing location. Plenty of wildlife to see at the river and also right outside the windows of the property. There is an enormous amount of history in the immediate area. Bill, the owner, lives right there and is very pleasant and helpful, but not intrusive.

Nice location.

Host was very friendly, the rooms were very clean, and the dog, son and I were very happy. :)

Pet friendly. Beautiful property with amazing views. Quiet and peaceful. Highly recommend.

Great host. We will book again in the summer

A bit expensive for what you get.Spiral staircase scared me.

Very convenient. Right on the water.

The photo advertising this place makes it appear that you will be overlooking the river. In fact, you are staying in the garage behind the house that overlooks the river. Also, guests should know that the upstairs bedroom is accessed by a very narrow spiral staircase. The bathroom is downstairs. Our host said we could come down to the bathroom via the outside stairs, which is not very practical at night in 30 degree weather with high winds. Speaking of the wind, the bedroom door, although “locked”, blew open in the middle of the night. Otherwise, the place was clean. But we never plan to stay there again.

Great host great location

The host was very accommodating and helpful. Location was perfect - quiet and close to sights, etc. we were in the area for a wedding, so we spent a lot of time out and about and everything was convenient.

We had the absolute BEST time here. Came for my bf’s bday. It was perfect. The little cottage itself was nice and clean and so cute! We loved the spiral staircase. The host was super sweet. He got the dock ready for us, got the kayaks in the water, blew all the leaves off, even got a fire ready to light for us. We were right on the water where we could fish off the dock. The swing looking over the water was a nice chill spot as well. Two fire pits to choose from. He let us ride his golf cart around which was super fun! We grilled chicken, made Mac and cheese. Had an Alfredo night. So they had everything we needed to do so. I did bring one pan of my own. This was the perfect little get away!! :) and only 15ish mins from Harper’s Ferry old town. We did a couple of hikes in the area and it was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend staying here for a couples get away!! Downstairs had a pull out couch so could fit up to 4 people. Thanks Bill!! We had a great time!! :)

Bill and Robin were welcoming hosts and their puppy Maui. We loved the deck by the river and all of the accommodations if we wanted to kayak, perhaps next time. It was quiet and peaceful and I loved the books and decor. I mostly caught up on sleep but if I had a few more days I would have read.

Excellent location

Beautiful, peaceful little cottage. Stayed for the weekend and enjoyed hiking in Harpers Ferry and the local restaurants. Our dog loved hanging out by the water and sitting on the swing by the fire at night. We will be back!

Bill and Robin treated us like family. We spent more time there on property than out because this place was just what we needed. We will come again and this is our place!Loved it!!Thank you, Bill and Robin!

We were able to lounge on the boat and the dock. We got in the water with the pups and also hung out on the deck area while having our Bolivar Bakery breakfast and coffee.

Very nice stay. Thanks!

My 2 grandsons & I had a wonderful visit at the Riverkeeper Inn. The Riverfront is beautiful & lots of nature to enjoy. They also liked riding around on the golf cart in the neighborhood checking out the deer & birds. Very peaceful. It was a nice getaway for them being from Texas.

We had a fabulous time here! This was a great location. Not only was it close to historic sites, downtown Harper’s Ferry, but we also thoroughly enjoyed the river (as did our dog!). While this is a back unit to the host's home, they were were hospitable, friendly, made an effort to give us privacy and allowed us full use of all the amenities. We were concerned about privacy, but had no issues and would absolutely recommend this place. It was also a great neighborhood for our dog to walk/run and make friends. We plan to come back!

We had a great peaceful trip in WV and the Riverkeeper was a big part of it. We appreciated their hospitality and location right next to the river. And Shepherds town.

We enjoyed a relaxing stay with an amazing view of the river

Riverkeeper Inn is located in a peaceful and quiet area of Harpers Ferry, equally perfect in early mornings and late nights. The check-in and check-out process were very easy, and the property itself had everything we could've asked for, and then some.

The hosts are wonderful. I had a great time in their cozy, clean and beautiful place. Highly recommend for a visit to beautiful and historic WV.I particularly appreciated their fondness for dogs. Mine had a great time too!

not our cup of tea thought it was on the river

Went to Harper’s Ferry for our 25th wedding anniversary and wanted to stay near the water since we usually stay in town. Found this property and it was perfect. Sits on property with owners who we met and their dog Chloe who was an absolute sweetheart. If you are looking for a piece of serenity you will find it at the Riverkeeper Inn. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. The property was tidy and clean and you get to use the gazebo or decks near the water to chill and if it wasn’t too chilly would have taken the kayaks out on the water. Highly recommend this property.

Enjoyed sitting on the deck above the river in the evenings, quiet and peaceful looking forward to staying there again.
