Gorgeous view!
Beautiful view. Check in process was easy, clear instructions for check in and out. Host was great at communication and quick response. Location is difficult to find but not impossible, if following the instructions from the host. Not incredibly local to town but a quick 15 min drive will have you in the nearest. Tons of activities at the house, was unaware it was in a neighborhood it was in but still quaint. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely Property
We had a great time! The property was beautiful, and Richard is a great host. The roads leading there are not paved, and have a lot of pot holes and bumps, and you’re going up a mountain, so there is a steep incline. We navigated them fine in our Honda Odyssey, it just took some extra time and care. The home itself was very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of supplies for cooking, and grocery delivery from Walmart was easy to set up ahead of our arrival. We did order DoorDash our first night, and that delivery also went well.

T-giving 2024
Thanksgiving weekend with nearby family. Cottage is spacious and clean. Great fireplace and very comfy beds. Turkey dinner for 4 was a delight. Located on top of the mountain overlooking Charles Town. The host’s recommendation of an SUV or more is correct. The uphill road is gravel with ruts but not treacherous. Cabin in the woods is a great description.

Great place, as described
Place was as described, worked great for me. House has good amenities, incl good wi-fi. No bugs seen (I expect to see a few in older places a bit out in the woods). Yard was clean and clear, serious fire pit available, and view was great, just as advertised. Things that might make this place not for everyone. - Last few streets are gravel and bumpy, my tires slipped a bit going up the hills, so a bit of an adventure the first time up and down, but I never felt anxious. - Neighborhood might be called ugly by some. I cdn't decide if it was ugly or beautiful, but liked it. It has mix of tidy small houses with clean well-lit outdoor areas (like this listing), and broken down houses surrounded by overgrown grasses and bushes, and complete disaster area junk yards that seem unlivable yet a dog barks from within one of the 3 scattered 1970's campers. So some people will love this for the stories latent behind each property's unique version of a no trespassing sign, others will like it as an escape from the bland texture of so many suburban developments. But others might, even with no snobbiness, just think it's ugly.

Loved the house!
The house is very clean, spacious, and comfortable--very well-stocked with everything you need. It's quiet and peaceful all around, and the view from the back is stunning! It's very close by foot to the Appalachian Trail, and a short drive to Harper's Ferry National Park. The only issue we had was with the general area; immediately around the house was fine, but walking up and down the road was unpleasant. It was also very difficult for us to drive in and out without scratching the bottom of our car on the gravel road; don't go there in a standard sedan, as you'll need a somewhat higher car. But overall we really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Almost worth the view...
We travel A LOT and this is one of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. Check in was unusual the owner met to give us the key. This was unsettling as we were three women traveling alone in a strange place. There is a lock box on the door so I am unsure why it was necessary to personally hand over the key. Sadly there is a lack of transparency that needs to be addressed. Per the listing there are "old" vehicles in neighboring yards, that is akin to putting lipstick on a pig. You basically take an ATV trail through a junk yard up a mountain. I would NEVER attempt to take a car up the road. Its unfair of the owner to assume everyone would be safe doing so. I understand they are used to roads like this but someone who isn't familiar with navigating a "gravel road" with giant ruts gullies and hairpin turns would struggle to make the trek up safely. I drove an SUV up and it was rough. It was apparent the owner wants you to come in a certain way because it takes you by less alarming properties. GPS is a more direct route but it's STEEP! You are never more than 50yds from an ancient abandoned camper with no doors or windows that someone actually lives in. Not to mention the 100s of sick looking feral cats or emaciated dogs tethered to the campers. The surrounding properties are visually disturbing and somewhat terrifying but the house across the road is newer. I understand that some are things the owner has no control over, however do your due diligence and read the reviews.

Great!
Everything was great! Awesome location and gorgeous views! The only thing i could complain about was the map to get there. I would just make it clear that there are 2 entrances to the neighborhood, Oak Road that was on the map and the other way the GPS says to go. We figured it out though and it was great after that, much better roads. I would definitely recommend!

Moutain view
We drove from Texas to this beautiful place to spend some time with our son. We met Richard and Stacy at the cottage. Very lovely couple. Enjoyed time with our son there. We also visited Antietam National Battlefield abs some other nearby sites. The place was very comfortable and spacious. Surroundings were quiet. The only concern are the roads leading up to the cabin. The view makes it truly worthwhile driving up there. Highly recommend for anyone that needs a break from the DC and surrounding suburbs to reset. We definitely would be back if we lived closer.
