An excellent experience at Riverkeeper Inn

Riverkeeper Inn is located in a peaceful and quiet area of Harpers Ferry, equally perfect in early mornings and late nights. The check-in and check-out process were very easy, and the property itself had everything we could've asked for, and then some.

Love the location

Easy access to the river, close to Harper’s Ferry. Shepherd”s Town is a wonderful town to explore. Spiral stairs to sleeping area could be challenging for some. Overall great cottage, nice hosts, lovely neighborhood, love being on the river, easy access to historic areas.

Peace & Quiet in a Cozy Little Nest

My stay at The Riverkeeper Inn was sweeter & cozier than I could've possibly imagined. Everything smelled so good upon arrival & stayed that way throughout my visit. The downstairs is functional & has every you need...the upstairs was like a little nest ~ so inviting, so cozy, & so quiet. The neighborhood was beautiful & peaceful...and the river was breathtaking. I loved listening to the birds & watching the sunrise every morning was my riverfront deck & swing, and I loved walking & golf carting around the neighborhood. The owners were welcoming, inviting, & there if I needed them while also respecting my privacy. I needed a quiet getaway to refresh myself & recharge batteries...& The Riverkeeper Inn was the perfect place to do it. My dog & I will be back! :)

Lovely Time by the River

This guest house was cute and enough room for us (two adults). (There was a pull out couch available on the living/kitchen area if we had more people.) The directions given were clear and got us exactly where we needed to be. Upon arriving you see beautiful, well manicured gardens and lawn on both sides of a narrow road that separates the houses from the river front. The owners do an excellent job keeping the property pleasing to the eye. The owner came to greet us and told us to pull into the drive. After turning into the driveway, you pull behind the main house to arrive at the guest house. The booking is a small half-garage, half house. The location is perfect for those looking to explore the river, enjoy the history of the area, and just relax in the garden/gazebo area overlooking the water. We loved kayaking, fishing and borrowing the owners tubes to float down the river. The guest house is across the street from the river. Bill, one of the owners was friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations for restaurants, and fishing. We gave it four stars because it wasn't quite as clean as we expected. There were several spiders (both dead and alive) in addition to other live bugs we found in the house throughout our stay. Additionally, there were two cars in "disrepair" that were visible, a cracked window in the house, and dog poo in the side/back yard. We understand this property is actively lived-in, but we were surprised by these few things.

It was awkward and uncomfortable having the owners on the same property as they were not . very friendly to us they acted rude and stuck up! The dock, stairs and “cottage” all need building code updates to be considered safe enough to rent. The couple that lives there was always around and it just felt like we were being watched all of the time like I was intruding on their space. I didn’t feel safe, because we were surrounded by equipment and flammables outside and inside the garage connected to it. I was under the impression we would be close to water with no owners on site. The unit itself smelt horrible like cigarettes and mildew and it made me sick…I’m literally sick and I spent money for my daughter’s bday and we did not enjoy our stay! The docks were surrounded by sharp rocks and weeds with stickers that hurt badly if you touch them which was near impossible not to do. I don’t think they should be allowed to rent until they fix some major mold, smoke and safety issues. I will be requesting a refund it definitely was not work 300 a night!!! Don’t believe the reviews. They also need to mention that you will not have cell service to map to their property so you have to make sure you have a print out of the directions or a paper map. We were stuck for hours trying to find our way there. Thanks Expedia!

Getting back to nature

My 2 grandsons & I had a wonderful visit at the Riverkeeper Inn. The Riverfront is beautiful & lots of nature to enjoy. They also liked riding around on the golf cart in the neighborhood checking out the deer & birds. Very peaceful. It was a nice getaway for them being from Texas.

In the river every day

We had a fabulous time here! This was a great location. Not only was it close to historic sites, downtown Harper’s Ferry, but we also thoroughly enjoyed the river (as did our dog!). While this is a back unit to the host's home, they were were hospitable, friendly, made an effort to give us privacy and allowed us full use of all the amenities. We were concerned about privacy, but had no issues and would absolutely recommend this place. It was also a great neighborhood for our dog to walk/run and make friends. We plan to come back!

Lakeview Property

Went to Harper’s Ferry for our 25th wedding anniversary and wanted to stay near the water since we usually stay in town. Found this property and it was perfect. Sits on property with owners who we met and their dog Chloe who was an absolute sweetheart. If you are looking for a piece of serenity you will find it at the Riverkeeper Inn. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. The property was tidy and clean and you get to use the gazebo or decks near the water to chill and if it wasn’t too chilly would have taken the kayaks out on the water. Highly recommend this property.
