Harpers Ferry Cottage: Hot Tub, WiFi, Dog-Friendly

Absolutely awful, the worst experience we have ever had with a VRBO property. Less than 24 hours after our arrival, hundreds of bugs started pouring from a hole in the ceiling. We were at first concerned they were termites but were told via text that they were just winged ants. Regardless of the type of bug, we were told that the handyman was out of town so there was nothing they could do until the next day. No apology offered, no help offered, nothing. My husband and I had to go out, purchase bug killer, and spent hours trying to rid the house of the bugs that had traveled throughout (and were in the bed sheets!). The only reason we stayed an additional night was faulty advice from VRBO rep who told us we had to give the property 24 hours to respond to get a refund.Almost a day after reaching out to the owners - still no handyman, still bugs in the house, we packed up and left. No refund and my husbands birthday trip absolutely ruined. We took more videos than photos, but zoom in on the pictures included. This was AFTER hours of cleaning. Do NOT waste your money on this awful experience.

A cute home is in the woods. It has a huge covered grilling and hot tub area with a picnic table nearby. We wanted a quiet weekend away, and this home did not disappoint. Watch out for the bugs, bring bug spray! I was delighted that DoorDash is available here, so they delivered my forgotten items.

This property was a quiet and clean place to relax at the beginning of spring break. The hot tub was a big draw and it did not disappoint. A few more mirrors in the bedroom for those of us that have to blow dry our hair, and the place is perfect!

We arrived in 13 degree weather from

Home differed slightly from photos rugs were not included and house paint colors are different than what's listed on VRBO. Great scenery and wildlife views. Some small issues with cleanliness in the bathroom upon arrival. Noisy neighborhood (dogs barking, lots of loud trucks and 4-wheelers tearing up the gravel road outside). Grooves in gravel road + driveway not easy for a small car or sedan to get through. I would recommend outdoor lighting by the porch entry. Was difficult to navigate walking outside at night without a phone light.

Cabin was very clean and well kept. If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life this is the cabin for you.

If you're looking for a Taj Mahal, this ain't it. What this is is a cozy quaint getaway in the woods. I loved all the windows for listening to the birds in the morning. The cabin was perfect for our girls getaway. The host was very responsive & everything was in working order.Just down the road is a quaint beach that we pretty much had to ourselves & a restaurant where we conveniently had dinner after our day in the sun. modern day tajmagal

Location was good. But the house needs some updates and a good cleaning. The tub is clogged. The sofa had odor. Too much clutter for dog friendly house. However, we did appreciate our stay.
