Historic and beauriful
It was perfect. Near my son’s school at Shepherd University and close to all the historic sites of Harper’s Ferry and Antietam.

Lovely historical cabin
This place was perfect for us. Secluded and quiet area, great history, and great amenities. It’s definitely a historic cabin and may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who are taller than around 5’9”, or those with physical handicaps. For us it was perfect. The managers were great and communicated with us any time we asked questions. Highly recommend.

Perfect spot
We wanted a place that was close to our daughter and granddaughter but still felt remote. This was the perfect place. We both love old homes and the character that makes them unique. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful. We are already planning to stay on our next visit.

Quaint getaway in Boonsboro
My husband and I really enjoyed staying here. The location was great and easy to find. Our hostess named Candy was awesome and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. Would stay here again for sure. :)

Hiking the Appalachian Tail
This was a great place to stay while hiking the AT. The house has a lot of history. We would recommend it for anyone visiting this area.

Rustic and unique
Host was very friendly and accommodating. House was stocked with everything you'd need and is rustic and cool. That said it was a little dirty for my family. Beware low ceilings. If you're taller than 5'8" you'll be ducking a lot, probably hitting your head too.

Enjoyable getaway
We enjoyed our stay. We would have liked to have known before hand that there was someone in the basement. That startled us because we didn't see ether note until after we saw the person.

Hike the Maryland AT
This is an excellent location to section hike the AT from Harpers Ferry to the Mason Dixon line. We anticipated being able to check in at 4PM, but when we arrived were told that check in was at 7PM! We negotiated to 5:30PM. The caretaker lives in the basement and is super friendly, but you can hear between the floors a bit. It was a clean space with easy access to a couple of restaurants and a grocery store. For a place to crash between our day hikes, it worked out very well.

Enjoyed our stay
The house and location were fantastic. We would have liked to have known that the owner lives in the basement, however. As 2 single women we were not happy to discover this fact after arriving. He was very nice, but because vrbo advertises that you 'get the whole house' we definitely were not expecting this to be the situation. Other than that, the house was lovely, clean and well-stocked.

Cute cabin
We had a fun stay in this cabin but there are a few things that I wish I had realized before I went. First is that if anyone in your group is over 5ft 8" they will be hitting their heads on the ceiling. The second is that the two bedrooms are connected and that you need to go through the main bedroom to get to the bathroom if you need to pee in the middle of the night.There were a lot of plus sides with this cabin though. The man who lives in the connected area is very sweet and helpful. If you have any issues he is more than happy to provide answers or questions.The location is beautiful! We went during fall so the colors of the leaves were fabulous. There are also a ton of things around if you are interested in hiking or historic events.
