Cozy cottage in West VA
What an amazing place! We had such a blast hanging out in Harper’s Ferry the week before Christmas for our mini-honeymoon. This cottage is everything we hoped for. It was perfect for just us but would also be perfect for a small family. I highly recommend staying at the Carrot Top Cottage.

Relaxing In Harper's Ferry
My wife and I traveled for leisure and were happy to stay at Carrot Top Cottage. Commo from the hosts was timely and useful, the house itself cute, nicely situated, well-appointed, and comfortable. The Appalachian Trail was a few steps out the door and we watched the same family of deer emerge from the nearby woods every night as we lounged on the porch.

Precious little cottage
The cottage is absolutely adorable. Everything we needed was there. Communication with the owner was fantastic. Downsides were few. The house smelled terribly of moth balls. The outside really needs cleaned or power washed. There were cobb webs all over the porch, doors and windows. I did need to contact the owner regarding the upstairs air conditioner. They promptly responded and came to fix it within 30 minutes.
