Very nice and comfy! Host was very pleasant and quick to respond. Sit on the deck and watch the wildlife as you have your coffee in the morning or unwind in the evening. Quiet and serene location. Had everything we needed for our stay. We plan to return in the fall!

Perfect homebase to unwind in after long days of hiking and exploring nearby areas. Squeaky clean, comfy furnishings, quiet and relaxing grounds. Host provided every amenity needed. Really appreciated the porch and lovely views.

We enjoyed the proximity to Harpers Ferry and nearby hiking trails. The balcony overlooking the Potomac was a welcome bonus. The kitchen was well-equipped and a nice place to hang out while preparing breakfast. The hosts were very responsive and always answered our emails. We had a great stay. It is a very good value for the price.
