Easy access to Fort Fredrick
The property was charming, clean, and easy to access. It made my stay at Fort Fredrick State Park for the Market Fair very cost-effective, with clean, private accommodations to come home to at night. Well worth the price!

Quick Quiet Getaway
My boyfriend and I wanted a nice quiet and relaxing getaway near Harpers Ferry. We came across this listing and were immediately drawn to it. There was a small hiccup with the door code, but Rachel responded quickly and we were in. Very cute place, for two.
