Photos and Description of the Harpers Ferry vacation house rental
3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, sleeps 6-9

This one-of-a-kind vacation rental is located in a 2-1/2 story brick federal-period building built in the 1830's, and renovated in 2004-2005. The house shares the building with a small boutique wine shop (Harpers Ferry Wine & Gourmet) and a family-style restaurant (Secret Six Tavern), which specializes in Traditional American cuisine. The house was originally 2 townhouses, and the center walls were removed in the 1970s to create a large open space on the 1st floor. While the house's exterior painting scheme reflects this original configuration and looks like 2 separate units, the vacation rental actually spans both spaces (see photo)! The building was used during the civil war by both the Confederate and Union Armies, primarily as an infirmary/hospital, and is a stop on the Harpers Ferry Ghost Tour!

The first floor of the house features a large open living room/dining room, a full modern kitchen, 1/2 bath, and a large porch with fantastic views. The porch sits above the Secret Six Tavern's outdoor eating area, which due to the view, is a Harpers Ferry hot spot! The inside space features hard-wood floors, exposed brick walls, an exposed beam ceiling (many of the beams are original hand-hewn), and large windows looking onto the mountains. After the leaves fall, there is also a view from the 1st floor of the Potomac River. There is a TV, DVD player, VCR, games and toys, and a 10-seat dining table on the 1st floor. A highchair is available upon request. In addition to new beds and living room furniture, the house is decorated in fantastic period antiques.

The second floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a laundry room w/ full-sized washer and dryer, and offers year-round views of the Potomac River. The master bedroom has a Queen bed and a comfortable full-size futon. The second bedroom has a Queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed (twin on top; full on bottom). The configuration is ideal for two families, three couples, or 6-9 friends! Each bedrooms has a TV and DVD player.

The building sits atop a steep hill, and there are 65 stairs leading down to the 2 parking spaces reserved for the vacation rental in the rear of the building. The front-door to the house is at street-level, so door-to-door drop-off of luggage is possible.

Great family reunion spot!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 8, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Our extended family, including 2 small children, enjoyed a 3 day stay in this charming, comfortable historic home. The trains were a delight to all of us. We also enjoyed evening strolls around the quiet streets of Harper's Ferry. We hiked along the C&O canal to the Weverton Cliffs trail and back, which was a great day hike. The owners are very welcoming and available to guests to answer questions or address problems. The home is clean, well-maintained with a well stocked kitchen. We look forward to another visit in the future!

My sisters and cousins rented this house for our yearly Girls Weekend Getaway. This is the perfect house for a weekend getaway with friends or for even a romantic weekend with your significant other. The house is spacious and charming, and it's well decorated and furnished with comfortable furnishings and some quirky pieces of art (Lincoln's painting and his wandering eyes). My family and I have rented alot of houses throughout the years and this house is the most well-equipped one thus far. It even has a hair-dryer which many times I forget to pack for a trip!
Jill was extremely accommodating and gracious hostess. We stopped by her shop when we arrived to thank her for the rental and she told us to call her if we needed anything, but the house had everything, so we were just fine! Would definitely recommend the house to friends and anyone who wants to stay in an historic town in charming house.

Wonderful Place for Exploring Harpers Ferry

5 of 5
Submitted: March 4, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This house is gorgeous inside with an enormous living-dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and very comfortable bedrooms. It was a perfect place for our group to meet and stay. The porch gives a wonderful view of the Potomac River and the historically famous cliffs of Maryland Heights. Right in the middle of Harpers Ferry, this house is perfect for exploring local shops, museums, and hiking spots.

We can only rate this on a scale of 1-5 on VRBO.com, but this amazing getaway would be a 10! Absolutely a home away from home; everything you would ever need! Upon arrival, owners left a bottle of Conde Villar Alentejano red wine as a welcome gift, as they are owners of the connected Harper's Ferry Wine & Gourmet Shop next door. This was absolutely a class act; very clean and comfortable 3 bed rooms with 2 full bathrooms upstairs, 1/2 bath on first floor for entertaining, very spacious well stocked kitchen. Historical area, boutiques for shopping. Warming pellet stove in the entertaining area, books, puzzles, historical art on all walls throughout home, binoculars for mountain views. In addition, they provided a comprehensive book containing information on the operation and facility workings of the home. Overall, this home is beautiful; inside is redone with natural fine woodwork, hardwood floors, wooden staircase, living room brick walls with 4 spacious windows that overlook Harper's Ferry Train Station & breathtaking mountain & river views. We would definitely LOVE to come back.

My college roommates and I recently stayed here for our first "girls wine weekend" and we had an amazing time. The house is great and it sits right in town. We were able to enjoy everything the town had to offer and we were only 15 minutes away from the wineries in Virginia. I highly recommend this house.
