Enchanting Cottage, walk to Downtown Harpers Ferry
Summary: Welcome to Waverly Cottage, hosted by Blue Maple!
An elegant 1840s Victorian with its own delightful history -- right in the heart of Historic Downtown! The perfect location for your Harpers Ferry stay.
The highlights: - Just steps to downtown Harpers Ferry (we’re surrounded by the National Park!) - Relax with a glass of wine on the private front or back porches - Curl up with a book in the sunny sitting room - Stream movies or take video calls on the fastest WiFi in the mountains
The Space: Our cozy retreat has all the comforts of home, nestled right in the center of Historic Harpers Ferry. With its blend of historical charm and modern safety, this Victorian gem promises a memorable and comfortable stay, ensuring you experience both its unique character and modern conveniences in complete comfort. Waverly Cottage is ideal for couples, families, or small groups of friends -- and is the perfect home base for your getaway!
The cottage includes: - 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds - 1 full bathroom and the second one is a half bath (full bath located in the master bedroom, 1/2 bath is off the kitchen) - Two additional pull-out beds, one in the living room (queen) and the other in the sitting room (twin) - Cute front porch with a bench -- perfect for people watching :) - Large elevated back porch with two comfy chairs and a bench to relax with a glass of wine - Fully-stocked kitchen with a stove/oven and microwave - Central AC and heat to keep you comfortable (please note the AC is currently out of service, but repairs are in the works) - SmartTV with access to all your favorite streaming services - Fast, reliable WiFi that’s more than enough to stream movies and hold video calls - Parking directly in front of the cottage (2 parking passes for your stay)
Much of this Victorian Gem is in its original form and has been lovingly maintained over the last 165 years, from the original 1840s foundation, to the one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted porch trim, gable shingles, and hardwood floors and stone landscaping borders. We hope you will most of all enjoy the historic charm and unique piece of history that this property represents.
Enjoy your mornings or evenings on the balcony, which offers a peaceful retreat with lovely views. Whether you're sipping coffee or simply taking in the fresh air, the balcony is a perfect spot to relax and unwind. To really create an inviting atmosphere, open the doors for a gentle crossflow breeze through the house.
One of the best aspects of Waverly Cottage is the location. We’re surrounded by the boundaries of the National Park (it’s across the street) and literally steps (2 minute walk with steep walking paths along the way) from all of the major sites in Harpers Ferry (less ¼ mile from John Brown’s Fort). We’re also just a short 5 minute walk from the Appalachian Trail. Bring your walking shoes!
We often take our three little kids to the cottage, so we're very family-friendly. Unfortunately, we don't allow any dogs or cats in the cottage.
Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!
Our AC is currently taking a little break, but repairs are already scheduled and should be completed soon! Thank you for your understanding—we’re excited to host you and make sure you have a great stay in the meantime.
Beyond Historic Harpers Ferry, we love how close to everything we are! Fantastic hiking trails, kayaking and tubing on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, and dozens of amazing little shops, restaurants, and wineries -- all within a 20 minute drive.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.
