Sharpsburg, Maryland
Get ready for your next adventure on a secluded 6 acre property surrounded by trees situated directly across from the Potomac River/C&O Canal. Hang out in the backyard; or enjoy an epic river adventure in the nearby Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Park which includes a towpath, and stretches for 184.5 miles through multiple states. Perfect for the entire family of explorers! History Buffs be sure to check out the nearby Historic Antietam Battlefield, less than a 10 minute drive away!
The house could have been cleaner or had clorox wipes to clean it better. It was nice and big for our family with adult kids and our dog. The fire was nice to sit out and relax. Dining room table was big and perfect for board games. Overall we had a good experience and great family time.
On the banks of the Potomac River, this lovely little spot is a short drive from Antietam, Shephardstown, Charles Town and Harper's Ferry. It is also only a moderate distance from Gettysburg and DC. Strongly recommended!
This was a cozy place to stay and very convenient for our visit to Antietam Battlefield and to Harper’s Ferry! The key pad entrance code was confusing! The link to the property when I booked provided a keypad code. This same keypad code was also the same code that was listed in the instructions binder inside the property. This code was not correct! I had to search through my VRBO emails to find! Also bad smell in first floor bathroom.
Pros: Location and very spacious Cons: House needs a deep cleaning and maintenance. House was not very clean inside or out. The previous guest (?) had left trash in the first pit including a bunch of dirty diapers. The host did finally send someone to clean it out 2 days later, but it shouldn't have been there in the first place. All of the dishes had to be washed before you could use them, etc. Also, there was a smoke detector that kept beeping (low battery). This led us to realize there were no smoke detectors hanging in any of the rooms upstairs - but we found the beeping one hanging in a closet?!? And just an FYI for anyone else considering the property - the grill is not propane. We showed up planning to grill and had to run to the store for charcoal. Not a deal breaker, but annoying. Overall it was disappointing. Especially since it's a nice location and property.
Thank you for a great stay in a beautiful setting. The house’s set up was perfect for our multigenerational vacation—privacy for the grandparents downstairs and lots of comfortable space for our family of three upstairs. Such a peaceful setting lets you fully appreciate the natural beauty of this area.
We had absolutely the best time. The house was as advertised. What a beautiful setting on the river. Definitely on the return list. Need to try the spring/summer season so we can go tubing and kayaking. Great getaway spot
Our second time at this great location along the towpath. Recommended!
Lovely, quiet place to get away from it all. Convenient to historical sites, small town restaurants, and great walking trail near the Potomac.
The only positive comment I can make here is that I was reimbursed for one night. We were booked for three nights with my son and his family, but it was so dirty I couldn't possibly let my toddler granddaughter stay there. My husband and I left a day early. I asked for a vacuum cleaner to clean the place myself but never got one. The lower level smells of mildew. There were no towels or bedding for the downstairs. Based on this experience I will never book another VRBO.
In decades of trvael this was the most discusting, dirty and unsanitary property I ever booked. We could not spend the night there is was that filthy. We had to scramble to find another place. There was a large wasp nest in the bedroom. All the towels and bedding were on the utility room floor unwashed and bug infested. The stove and oven were covered in burned food, the dishwasher was full of unwashed dirity dishes with caked on food. The Beds were stripped bare and the bathrooms pig pen dirty. There was dust everywhere. We tried many multiple times to reach the owners with no response by email, text or return phone calls. It took over two weeks to get a partial refund which then they held back over $100 for no reason. No apology, no effort to rectify. An absolute nightmare.
The cleanliness of the property left something to desired. It had not been vacuumed or mopped. But that was minor. It had a lot of space and the yard was great. We picked up some firewood and used the fire ring. Took advantage of several local trails as well.
A lovely property that is conveniently located to many of the sights of the area. We went kayaking one day and visited so many historical sites. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely love this location on a quiet road, next Taylors Landing and the C&O canal. Not much happening, which is perfect.
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay! Our family really enjoyed the quiet house with tons of windows and beautiful sunlight. We took a walk to the canal and enjoyed the views. We took some day trips to nearby Harpers Ferry and even drove to Virginia! We really enjoyed our vacation! Thank you so much!
Older property but great for group family stay with plenty of space and tons to do all within a half hours drive!
We stayed here for my wedding weekend with our bridal party (7 of us). It was the perfect size house to fit us all and accommodate our different sleeping and getting ready arrangements. Easy check in and check out process and the hosts were quick to respond. Wish we could’ve stayed longer to explore the area!
Great place to stay. My wife and I spent a week riding various sections of the C&O rail trail. Many other interesting activities nearby including Antietam and several wineries. We really enjoyed the house.
Very nice place. Especially how close it is to the C&O Canal. Have ridden by the place several time while riding the trail. Never thought I'd be staying there. Rick
Thank you I loved staying there by the river for a quiet respite, I hope to return!
Perfect location very quiet
