Important to Note: Ceiling Height
This unique space has a rustic feel, and while the ceilings are lower than standard, they add to the cabin’s cozy charm. Here are the ceiling heights in each area:

Kitchenette: 74 inches
Living Room: 80 inches
Middle Room (Twin Bed): 71 inches
Bedroom (Queen Bed): 76 inches
Bathroom: 76 inches

Most guests adjust quickly to the ceiling height and enjoy the distinctive cabin-like atmosphere. It’s a cozy retreat for hikers, history lovers, and anyone wanting to stay close to trails, historic sites, and local dining.

This is a rustic walkout basement with its own private entrance. Because the unit is located on the lower level, you may occasionally hear the central heating and cooling system. We’ve added a white noise machine to help mask those sounds, and some guests even find it soothing.

Temperature and Comfort
Please note that the thermostat control is located in the main house, so guests do not have direct access to it. Because the basement can feel cooler than the upstairs, we provide two additional heat sources for your comfort: a portable infrared heater and heat from the electric fireplace. The basement also has a dehumidifier that turns on automatically to help keep the space comfortable.

Sleeping Arrangements
Two beds:

One queen bed in the main bedroom area
One twin bed in the middle room

Kitchenette Amenities
The kitchenette is thoughtfully set up for light meal preparation and dining. It includes:

Sink
Electric skillet
Coffee maker
Tea kettle
Toaster
Mini fridge
Microwave
Dishes, silverware, drinking glasses, and coffee cups

The setup is ideal for simple meals, heating leftovers, and enjoying coffee before heading out to explore Harpers Ferry.
Important Notes About the Walkout Basement
This is a clean, well-maintained 100-year-old property with a ground-level walkout basement. The basement door is original, which adds to the home’s historic charm.

The entrance is surrounded by plantings, and the driveway is gravel rather than paved.
Please note that there is an electrical panel located behind the front door. For safety reasons, guests should not open or access it.

Because of the ground-level location and proximity to landscaping, you may occasionally see a harmless spider or other small insects. This is uncommon, but it is possible and disclosed in advance.

This home is pet-friendly, which means that even after thorough cleaning, it is possible a stray pet hair from a previous guest may occasionally be found. That is normal in a pet-friendly property.

If you have an insect phobia or expect the space to be completely free of all natural elements, this may not be the right property for you.

We clean thoroughly between guests. That said, this is a real home cleaned by humans, not a sealed hotel environment or laboratory.

By booking, you acknowledge and accept these conditions. If you are looking for a brand-new, sealed, insect-free environment, a modern hotel may be a better fit.
