Stayed Apr 13, 2023We really enjoyed the cottage and it was perfect for our extended weekend getaway. Very clean and stocked with everything we could need. The deck was ideal for morning coffee and evening bird watching on the Potomac River. We also found it ideally situated for places worth visiting close by i.e. Harpers Ferry, Antietam Battlefield, and Shepherdstown. Hosts are wonderful and super responsive.

Stayed Dec 21, 2025Our family spent Christmas at this wonderful home, and it was the perfect holiday getaway. The house itself is incredibly cozy, but the real highlights were the magnificent views and the easy river access—which the anglers in our group loved for some holiday fishing! We spent our evenings staying warm around the fire pit, soaking in the atmosphere. The hosts were excellent and made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy retreat!!

There needed to have sugar, flour and things that people would need. When we have gone to other B&Bs places they would have things like that for people.Tried to log in on tv to use our account to you tube tv but didn’t have a code for Roku. Better access to the river from the house. People have a hard time going up and down.

But we never felt that he was intruding on our privacy, and we actually never met him face to face. We biked, kayaked, fished, played cornhole down by the edge of the Potomac, and hiked into Harper's Ferry. It was a great time!

Stayed Jul 8, 2025The cottage was very nice and clean. Our plan was to fish since it was advertised as private river access. When I see private river access, I think a dock or at least bank access. We soon found out that the only access was the boat launch. We had 2 teenagers with us who were looking forward to fishing, but there really wasn't much room to fish at the boat launch. The owner did some research and let us know some places near by we could fish, which was very nice. It was just disappointing to find out we couldn't fish from the property we rented. It was very close to Harpers Ferry National Park which was convenient. Overall, we made the best of it. The house had what we needed and the gas grill was utilized daily, which was great. The owners were easy to communicate with. The beds were also comfortable. If you are looking for a place to stay near Harpers Ferry and all it has to offer, then I recommend this cottage. It just wasn't an ideal fishing location.

Stayed Jul 11, 2025Property has limited views of the Potomac. The house itself was in good condition and the host paid a lot t of attention to small details. The property itself is about a 15 minute drive to historic Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown. Guests should be aware that parking for large vehicles can be a challenge but is doable. This is due to the design of the driveway and vehicles parked on neighboring properties, which is beyond the host's control.The only complaint we had were the beds. They were some of the most uncomfortable we have every slept in.
