Location: West Virginia < USA

Nearest Airport : Dulles Int'l at 60 Miles
Nearest Train : Harpers Ferry at 10 Miles

Shepherdstown is the oldest town in the state of West Virginia, nestled in the lower Shenandoah Valley - is only 90 minutes from the Washington/Baltimore metropolitan areas but miles away from the stress and rushed lifestyle of the city. Stroll along German Street, filled with more than a dozen fine dining and casual restaurants, unique locally-owned shops offering everything from baby clothes to local arts and crafts, and an independent movie theater. You're sure to find the perfect spot to stay, eat and shop here - all uniquely Shepherdstown.

Come to the acclaimed Contemporary American Theater Festival and classical music performances at Shepherd University, or listen to live music at local restaurants and pubs. The C&O Canal is less than a mile away, with biking and hiking along the Potomac River; several outfitters in Harpers Ferry offer rafting and tubing adventures. We are only five minutes from Harpers Ferry and Antietam National Parks.

Wonderful Thanksgiving weekend

Review Submitted: December 2, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
The location of the Cottage can't be beat if you are interested in taking advantage of downtown Shepherdstown. The house is charming and fully stocked with everything you could need. And the owners made us feel very welcome. Little extras made a big difference-- for example, there were lots of good quality towels, there is a dishwasher and disposal which makes cooking and cleaning up easy, and the gas grill is a top-of-the-line Weber.

Would definitely go back.

Heat Wave! But the AC Works!

Review Submitted: June 1, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
We enjoyed our three-night stay at the Cottage, having everything we needed - and more. Loved looking at all the books and mementos from places. What a convenient location too. Tell people about O'Hurley's, especially the Thursday evening jam session - open to all 7-10 pm. Thank you for your generosity and obvious kindness.

The Cottage was Awesome!

Review Submitted: June 1, 2011 Date of Stay: May 2011
Me, my brother, and our parents stayed for 3 days on Memorial day weekend. The Cottage 's rooms were so cool! I LOVED the dollhouse upstairs; I took lots of pictures. It was cozy and perfect weather. Walking around Shepherdstown's main street was so fun; the food was great!. The swings were wonderful, especially when it was raining! We saw Antietam and had a great time. It felt good to come home to the little house after a long day. (Guest, age 12-13)

Lovely Cottage!

Review Submitted: August 30, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2010
We came to Shepherdstown for a bridal party get-together last weekend and stayed at The Cottage. It was a truly lovely night. There was plenty of room for all 7 of us, and we were able to walk right downtown to the restaurants (5 minutes away). The pantry was well-stocked and, though we brought our own food, the kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed, from cheese knives to serving trays and bowls to wine glasses. One of the bedrooms has an absolutely amazing dollhouse appointed with the cutest miniature furniture - we had lots of fun looking at it! The fenced backyard with ample seating is perfect for chatting under the stars at night, and there is a little playground adjacent to the church next door that would be great for families with children.

I couldn't have asked for anything more, and the owner was so nice and accommodating even when we showed up an hour early for check-in hoping to get our cake out of the hot car. I would absolutely stay here again and I highly recommend the Cottage.

Why stay at a hotel?

Review Submitted: August 3, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
Stayed at The Cottage during our visit to the Contemporary American Theater Festival. The location is ideal, everything is within walking distance, and the owners have thought of everything - from the stocked kitchen pantry to the pet food and water bowls! Wish we could have stayed longer
