Our group of 4 stayed one night at Thistle Cottage as we biked through Harper’s Ferry on the C&O. We loved this house! It was clean, well-stocked, had ample space for all of us and our gear, and had a hose available to clean bikes. It was well located in a neighborhood we felt safe locking our bikes up in the yard and was walking distance to delicious food options. And Angela was very accommodating and great to deal with. Our only regret is we didn’t have more time to enjoy the property!
