Nice Stay
Beautiful area with great hiking trails, Shenandoah National Park about an hour away. Harper’s Ferry offered nice trails, shops, eateries and loads of history.

JFK50 Friend Group
The house was clean (something I appreciate in a day when a $150 hotel stay no longer guarantees a clean room) and the three upstairs rooms with 2x queens & a king easily accommodated our group of six. If bringing a group with multiple cars, it’s important to note that there is driveway space for TWO cars. We only found 4 bath towels & asked for 2 more, but the cleaner didn’t feel comfortable dropping off towels while no one was home. The rental was ~20 min from the JFK race start & was a great location for us! Wish we had more time to explore local historical sites!

Lovely, comfortable house
This is a beautiful house that has been restored and renovated really nicely and has everything one would need for a nice stay. It's also very close to the main downtown of Shepherdstown and we enjoyed walking to restaurants and shops from the house. Very clean and beds were comfy. Has a bit of a tricky staircase for small children, but otherwise we had a comfortable, fun, and relaxing stay at this house.

Great location for exploring Shepherdstown
This is a very cute house in a nice location. Everything was clean and orderly; the kitchen was pretty well provided for basic cooking and eating for 4 people, and the host was responsive and helpful. Many changes of level throughout the house, and two low doorways could be emphasized in the listing - this house is not handicapped-accessible. Two parking spaces on the property; others across the street. Would stay again.
