Our 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!!
Although I never met my hostess, the cottage stay was easy to book and just as advertised. Fantastic views, well stocked kitchen, and a personal greeting on wet board. Gas fireplace was warm and cozy.
Great cottage with a great view and access to the Potomac River! Clean and everything we needed with plenty of room. Great area to stay visiting downtown Harper’s Ferry and Antietam. Communication with the host was the best ever! Would recommend and stay again.
This rental is minutes from Harpers Ferry and Shepardstown. The balcony has comfortable furniture with a lovely view of the Potomac. Saw tons of deer. Well stocked kitchen and toiletries provided. The steps are a bit steep, but then we're all in our 70's and 80's. Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the Riverside cabin. With a beautiful view, perfect deck for reading, and a quiet house to get away in. So close to town and activities provided for a wonderful getaway.
The property was a home away from home for my family. plenty of room for four adults a full kitchen in the lower section and two full bathrooms. Clean and neat interior, great view from the deck and great parking as well. A great place to stay close to Harper's Ferry.
Check in was easy. The cottage was peaceful and fully accommodated with toiletries, snacks, and cooking items like seasoning and oil.
Great view from the back porch!
We had great time fishing, canoeing and sightseeing. We visited Charles Town and went on the night time Ghost Tour. This area is loaded with Civil war history.The fish were hiding but the weather was perfect.Scott was a great host.
