About this property

Trouvaille House Sweet Suite

One of the oldest homes in Harpers Ferry, newly renovated and freshly decorated with lots of light and private spaces.

Pre Civil War home in Harpers Ferry, just steps away from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and conveniently located between lower town and upper town. A short walk either way!

Each room is a suite with private bath, luxury linens and toiletries.

Suite 4 is upstairs, large and light filled. The en-suite bathroom is entered through antique doors and is very large and spa - like with pedestal sink and soaking tub, that has a hand shower as well. From there, you enter your own private screened in balcony/porch!

The kitchen / gathering room is shared between 4 suites, as well as the grounds. There is a small bistro table in the front great for chatting with passers by. The backyard is equipped with a pellet grill, outdoor dining table and a great fireplace! Park like landscaping is in the works, to be completed by early fall.

I am in and out, or gardening on a regular basis. Otherwise, you may find me around the corner at our sister property, La Soledad. I am always available by text and phone!

We are in Historic Harpers Ferry right on the Main Street. We are a short walk from lower town and the NHP, as well as uppertown - very centrally located.

Harpers Ferry is a walking town with limited parking. Guests will be provided a parking pass for the property. Wear comfortable shoes, as the terrain is hilly!

Great place with lovely decor

Perfect place! Loved the decor! Location is great with an easy 12 min walk to downtown. Walk back takes a bit longer since it’s mostly uphill but still a nice walk. So much to see with all the lovely architecture. Will return!

Peaceful

My partner and I found the property quiet and comfortable. Our room was cozy and pretty. We loved the screened porch and spent hours chatting and bird watching. We both loved the deep relaxing tub and goodies left for us. Quite thoughtful. All in all, a peaceful and restorative overnight. Thank you!

Wonderful weekend

Christie gave us a very warm and informative welcome, including interesting history, issues and developments in town, and great recommendations for where to eat and places to visit. She also invited us to her lavender farm and introduced us to her lovely puppies. The room was excellent — lots of space, a screened-in balcony, and great location in the upper town. Christie was helpful with parking, and she always responded quickly to our questions. An outstanding weekend!

Great base for exploring Harper's Ferry

The location is great- wonderful to be able to walk to Lower Town since parking is so limited there. Place has an old world feel - not fancy but with some charm. Because it is old,> sounds of people above and next door carry through, but we didn't find this to be a problem. The breakfasts are great, with generous portions! Lots of nice extra touches, like cookies, coffee and tea and granola bars always available. The hosts were very helpful with suggestions. So much to do in the area - hiking, history, good restaurants like the Press Room in nearby Shepherdstown. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous space in historic Harpers Ferry

I stayed here with my boyfriend for a long weekend trip and we loved it. The space was very clean, beautifully decorated, and has very cool history. The soaking tub was perfect after a long hike, and the balcony was perfect for early mornings. The host was very quick to respond to messages and almost everything is within walking distance! I would recommend staying here.

Cozy, historic, clean, and provided by the most accommodating and hospitable host I've ever met, Trouvaille will be my go to every time I visit Harper's Ferry! My girlfriend and I were warmly greeted by Christie as we arrived and settled in for our weekend getaway. Christie talked us through the history of the house and some of the nearby structures, gave us pointers for where to go and what to see (including a thoughtful, printed list), and was available to contact if we had any questions. The house is an easy 10-15 minute walk away from lower town. The suite even had homemade lavender bath salts to enjoy a nice soak after a day of hiking (Christie has a lavender farm nearby and makes lovely salts and soaps). The property includes easy street parking right outside too. After tirelessly searching and comparing the available options for our stay, we're very happy we settled on Christie's Trouvaille House and think you will be too.

Hiding a cat??!!

I don't usually leave reviews on stays. This time I feel compelled to leave one. I had to wait 2 hours on the front porch to greet the owner for access. On my second day of a 3 day stay I went downstairs to the common area aka kitchen to wash a few dishes from breakfast. I was greeted by the owner and her cleaning lady. In short, the owner supposedly was told by other guests that they heard a cat meowing. She asked me if I was hiding a cat in the room. I assured her there was no cat. She insisted on inspecting the room even after I insisted there was no cat. She actually had the audacity to come into the room opening closet doors. I am a 55 yo male. I dont get offended easily but this definitely made me feel some sort of way. I did stay one more night to finish my trip, but was very uncomfortable. The house is clean but the backyard needs some tlc. The patio set is on a outdoor rug that is overtaken by moss on a wood deck. Cant eat outside. Fireplace has nice seating. I stayed across the street 3 weeks ago and noticed how many cats are in the neighborhood. One even attempted to bite my friend. Being accused of harboring a cat in the room is crazy to me especially after greeting us for access.

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary weekend, our first time in West Virginia. We loved the property and the surrounding area. The downtown of Harpers Ferry was a relatively short walk away (but uphill, so could be challenging for some) and there were also a few good eat and drink spots even closer. The room itself was very private, including a bug-free screened porch and a dream of a bathroom with a soaking bath tub. We didn't move the car much for Harpers Ferry itself, but it was an easy/ right in front of the building parking situation. The host Christy was the cherry on top. Although we didn't need to contact her too much, that was likely because she gave us the lay of the land at the beginning along with a handy guide of local recommendations. We walked to the Appalachain Trail, the Maryland Heights trail, the downtown HF and historical area, the great vegan joint, and more and did the heck out of Harpers Ferry with a perfect room to cap each day. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Christie May

Host profile image
I live around the corner from the Trouvaille House at La Soledad Lavender Farm. I have been a professional artist for many years, and started hosting my first guesthouse during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was such a positive and rewarding experience, that with a partner, I purchased and remodeled the Trouvaille House in 2021. I love meeting my guests and making sure they have the best experience and memories of their visit to Harpers Ferry!

Why they chose this property

The Trouvaille House was built in 1830, one of the earlier Harpers Ferry homes. The foundation supports utilized decommissioned canal boat beams from the C&O Canal. While the house is very old, since its remodel, it feels very fresh and bright, with lots of artwork, spacious rooms and modern conveniences.

What makes this property unique

The Trouvaille House is conveniently positioned in historic Harpers Ferry on the main street, but up a little from the bottleneck congestion of “lower town”. There is reserved parking in front, and it is an easy walk (3/4 of a mile) to lower town and even closer to the restaurants and attractions in the upper part of town.

While it is in town, the backyard looks out onto woods and is very private and park-like. There you can enjoy grilling and eating outside, or sitting in front of the outdoor fireplace in cozy Adirondack chairs.

Enjoy a long soak in the pedestal tub with the lavender soap and bath salts provided from my lavender farm around the corner!
