You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Downtown Harpers Ferry! Charming Historic House in Harpers Ferry National Park!

We have been vacation rental owners in Harpers Ferry since 2009 (see VRBO 265656), and are committed to ensuring that our guests enjoy a comfortable and truly unique stay in one of the most historic and charming towns on the East Coast.

We acquired this charming new (200 year old!) house and spent 2020 completing renovations. Like our other downtown Harpers Ferry vacation rental, this 200 year old home is located in the heart of downtown Harpers Ferry and on top of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Restaurants, shops, hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail,) museums, and shops are quite literally feet away.

The front door of the house is off of the front porch at the top of the stairs (see pictures). Hang out on the front porch and enjoy the beautiful mountain views and the activity in town below you, or enter through the front door into a charming living room. Off of the living room you will find a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen with dining table for 6 plus 3 countertop stools and a half bath. Head up the stairs to the second floor where you will find 2 bright bedrooms (both with awesome views!), a full bath, and a super-cozy TV room. Exit out to the back patio from the TV room, and wander up the hill in the back yard to find an absolutely spectacular view of the Harpers Ferry Gap!

This truly is a one-of-a-kind house in an amazing location. OH...It also comes with a parking space (a HUGE bonus in Harpers Ferry!!). Please note that the parking space is located on Potomac Street, and you must climb 65 steps up to High Street where the house is located. Luggage drop-off is permitted any time except Saturday and Sunday between 11AM and 5PM. Also, please note that the stairs in this house are very steep! Please keep this in mind if you have trouble with stairs!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a private yard.

BEAUTIFUL HOME
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful Harpers Ferry home. It was so amazing to stay in the historical area and be close and able to walk to all the National Park sites. We were most attracted to that lovely porch and enjoyed our coffee there in the early morning, watching the town come to life. We also liked afternoons reading and napping there and an evening glass of wine after dinner. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the furniture and beds were very comfortable. We will certainly stay here again if our travels bring us back to Harpers Ferry.

Charming Historic Home
This historic home is full of historical architecture while containing modern updates. The convenient location to Harper’s Ferry and food establishments across the street could not be beat. Those who have an affection for trains will enjoy the day and night rumblings and horns of trains going through the historic downtown area.

Amazing
This was our third stay here and it was amazing as usual. Our only hiccup was with the vrbo app, Jill could send messages, but we couldn't reply. Aside from that, the house and location are fantastic, the fire place is so cozy, the kitchen is beautiful, the beds are comfy, and the tv is easy to navigate. It was sad to leave but we're excited to be back next year. Thank you Jill for being top notch, best host ever. ❤️

Historic Holiday Charm
Wonderful historic house with all the modern conveniences, elegance and charm. Bed and linens had the comfort of a luxury hotel. Wine on the front porch was a perfect ending to an adventurous day of hiking on the variety of trails near by. Situated in the center of Historic Harpers Ferry and just across the street from the best restaurant, unique shops and historic buildings and tours. Truly enjoyed our time there and took advantage of all it had to offer. The Holiday decor in town made our trip even more magical.

Harper’s Ferry Charm
Our stay in Harper’s Ferry was wonderful. We were in the heart of it all. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips. We had delicious coffee at Battlegrounds, yummy lunch at the Rabbit Hole, shopping at Tenfold and hiking trails just a stones throw from our bnb. Jill’s place captures the charm ajo history of Harper’s Ferry. It has a comfortable ad cozy energy with updated modern conveniences. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. Comfortable beds and hot water at the ready. The views of the town and the mountains were beautiful. Jill is a great host with attentive communication. We enjoyed our time in this historic and unique location!

Perfect Location!
This was the perfect location if you are visiting Harpers Ferry with friends or family. You can see the entire town from sitting on the porch, or take a nighttime walk when it’s quiet down to all the sites. The biggest “downside” was the trains running through nearby woke everyone through the night, but I’m not sure that would be different at any other property nearby!

Lovely weekend in historic setting
This was our second visit to Harper's Ferry and we were so excited to stay right in the historic lower town! The house was just as described and had all the amenities we needed for our short stay. It was great being so close to all the restaurants, shops, and historical stops. Also a bonus that we could bring our small dog. Thanks for a great stay and some fun memories!

Great Stay in Downtown!
The house is a beautiful, historic home located conveniently to all the shops and downtown Harper’s Ferry. In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting out on the porch with a hot tea and relaxing while looking at the the stunning view. Definitely a must visit
