Shepherdstown, West Virginia
Welcome to this patch of serenity on the river's edge, to this hideaway.
Take a seat. Decompress a moment. Take note of the expanse at your purview. This is your temporary home. This is your reprieve from the pin numbers, passwords, online postings, news alerts and the 24/7 world that so consumes us.
Here you will find a home that touts all the modern conveniences while ensconced in another time, a slower time, a time of reflection if you are so inclined.
The space
Here you will find three bedrooms that sleep six, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, a flat-screen television, wi-fi and the gorgeous views of the Potomac River, which divides West Virginia from Maryland on the opposite shore.
Here you will find a home that touts all the modern conveniences while ensconced in another time, a slower time, a time of reflection if you are so inclined.
There is a grill, if grilling is your forte. There is a deck that requires nothing more than your presence.
This stretch of the river lures all kind of water enthusiasts: kayakers, canoers, bird-watchers, photographers, Civil War aficionados and anglers seeking to land a good-sized walleye.
Many of your water-related needs can be met at Shepherdstown Pedal & Paddle on German Street, the principal thoroughfare in town.
There are plenty of hiking trails around Knott Road. Nothing puts you at one with Mother Nature more than the quiet and solitude of the untouched forests that envelop the area. Many are as they were in the early 1860s, when the Yankees lined the far shore and the Rebels the one that beckoned you.
Otherwise, please enjoy your time in this idyllic setting.
Guest access
The entire house, front and back patios, front yard, and water access to the Potomac River.
Other things to note
That rooster you sometimes hear crowing is in charge of the neighborhood watch group, although his calls are mostly directed to the flock of hens that responds to his reports of finding a trove of yummy bugs or the occasional predator. And, my, how the flock loves bits of bread.
We have a security camera mounted on the front of our deck. The coverage area includes our driveway, lower steps, and front yard. It is not our aim to invade your privacy.
We had a really lovely time at this space, Amy was such a good host, and we hope to return!
Lovely location on the Potomac River outside of Harper's Ferry. Wonderful location to relax, reconnect and have a fantastic time. Amy, the host is wonderful and there when you need her. She made sure our visit was perfect and it was. Took in the local history, food and breweries. What a great weekend.
Perfect place to stay and visit Antitem and Harpers Ferry Sites. Location was convenient and the house was beautiful. Spacious and a great view. We enjoyed the deck. Bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size. The house had everything we needed. Loved that the owners thought of everything from board games, coffee, extra towels, pillows, blankets, a fan etc… the house was clean, booking was easy owner was very responsive. Perfect spot
We enjoyed a nice family getaway at this beautiful retreat! We were a family of 6 and the house met all our needs. My only comment would be the outside front stairs were steep for the grandparents in their late 70’s. There are images shown, it was just us not fully thinking it through.
Beautiful A-frame with a fantastic view, all amenities youd need from home. Steps are a little dangerous to the river and area not really set up for fishing. Home is a little distance to Harpers Ferry with winding roads and lots of deers so would suggest arriving before dark. Overall very nice.
Great location on the Potomac River! The house was spacious, clean and modern! Amy was so welcoming and easy to communicate with.
Clean, comfortable, well stocked house with lots of space for 5 adults/teens. Beautiful river views. Convenient to day hikes at Harper's Ferry, Antietam, and Shepherdstown. Host provides recommendations of local eateries and things to do. Very responsive.
Property itself is very nice but there are a few neighbors that aren’t as nice but next door neighbors were nice and it’s a gorgeous view!
The house was cute and roomy and the inside is super clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Amy, the host, was super helpful and responsive. The view is gorgeous, not real good river access to sit by the river but the view was stunning. Uber does drive out to this location from Charlestown ?
We were a party of four. Plenty of room in the house. We explored Shepherdstown including some paddling upriver. We also grilled at the property and relaxed on the porch. I decided not to bring a bike but wish I had!
Amy was wonderful to work with and the property was beautiful!
Very relaxing and well stocked!!
My family gathered with another family and we had a wonderful time here in such a peaceful setting. The house was spotless and had gorgeous views of the Potomac from the front of the home where we spent a great deal of time together. We enjoyed exploring nearby Harper's Ferry too. The host Amy communicated quickly and was very helpful. Highly recommend this home!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Main house was neat and everything worked. Shepherdstown is great for history and friendliness. Antietam is a must!!
My husband and I stayed here with his mom and our teenage son. We visited Antietam and Harper’s Ferry, but this is also an ideal property if you want to kayak the Potomac. There’s steps down to the river right in front. The house was clean and well equipped with a lot of space to spread out. The view of the river was beautiful and the neighborhood was quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in the Harper Valley area.
This home was the perfect location for an annual girlfriend getaway. The Potomac River view is calming and the home itself is even prettier than the pictures. Each bedroom was well furnished and exceptionally clean. The kitchen has everything you need. Town is a short 10 minute drive where we enjoyed the ghost tour and meals at Blue Moon and Lilah. We also visited nearby Big Cork vineyards and Antietam Creek Vineyards, both of which were excellent. The house also has a secluded back patio and fire pit that was a wonderful way to end the evening. Importantly, the homeowner, Amy, was very responsive to questions and helpful with directions and other details in advance of our stay. We could not be more pleased and could not recommend this property more highly!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the close proximity to many sights. A wonderful retreat after a day of hiking or touring.
This is truly a place to unwind and enjoy the view!
Amy is a wonderful host with a beautiful house!! Wonderful location (right on the river) and close to town. We actually met amazing people in 2 days there!! Amy is wonderful at responding quickly if you have any questions. I went with two friends to “get out of dodge” and it was perfect area to do it!! Highly recommend this place
The house was great had everything we needed to enjoy our week there. Had two teenagers and a 6 year old with us. They enjoyed fishing and sitting outside in the beautiful scenery. Had all appliances ect you could need in the kitchen. It is a drive in the middle of nowhere and so pretty.
This is our second time staying at this property with our two daughters. Knott Road is a significant but manageable distance from Shepherdstown to the North, a little longer to Harpers Ferry and Charles Town to the South and Southwest. The house is well equipped, and the view of the Potomac River can't be surpassed. The master bedroom has a comfortable king bed, with four additional beds for kids or guests upstairs. The kitchen and living area is integrated and well equipped. The hosts are responsive to unexpected problems, such as power outages (we had one; part of life). We'll be back.
