This was the perfect place to stay for my birthday celebration with my friends! It was walkable to all the shops in Harper’s Ferry and was secluded. Keep in mind to get to the house on either side you do have to walk up hills, but that is just how Harper’s Ferry is! The porch in the morning was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend!

I had such a great stay in this 1840s cottage. While the cottage has all the modern conveniences we’re used to, the historic charm is at every turn! The cottage is spacious, comfortable, private, fully stocked, and in a great location. The cute porches are perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful natural surroundings.
This was a business trip, and I worked from the cottage a few hours each day. The WiFi was perfect for web meetings. It was also nice to work in a peaceful and quiet environment.
Put on some comfortable shoes and walk charming Harpers Ferry! There’s so much to explore, including the National Park just across the street!
As for hosts, Tony & Blue Maple are exceptional! I didn’t need to reach out to them during my stay, but they kept in touch from booking to check out.
I will definitely book this cottage again!

Location was awesome – right above town. Beautifully decorated and cozy. We were able to walk around in the evening when it is less busy.

Had a great time staying at Waverly Cottage in beautiful Harpers Ferry!

Loved being right there in Harpers Ferry and walking to the trails. It was great to be right by the Appalachian Trail. It was a great location and the old house had lots of character. Saw some deer and could hear the train.

Enjoyed our stay! The location was perfect!
5/27/2026
We loved this quirky historical home! We did not mind that it was not “pristine” in terms of what a more modern home might offer but that was part of its charm, it felt like a real home and was so sweetly decorated. Even though it’s small we were perfectly comfortable as a family of six and really appreciated how helpful the owners were. The best part was walking from this quiet home directly into Harper’s Ferry- so much history and unbelievable beauty right outside the door! We loved our time here!
5/20/2026
Great home base for exploring Harper’s Ferry, Antietam, and the surrounding area.
4/13/2026
We had a great stay. We loved the location and the house is so cute. Being able to walk to the restaurants and sights was a nice bonus.
4/11/2026
Tony was a great host, the place fit right in with the feel of the town; historic and the decor was perfect. We could easily walk to town and trails. You can hear the passing trains at night, it didn’t bother me but you may want to bring a sound machine if you need quiet to sleep.
4/6/2026
We loved this cabin in the heart of Harper’s Ferry! It is a charmingly updated old home with a great setup for a family with kids. We loved the back porch looking out on the town and river for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The location cannot be beat – there are so many restaurants, shops, and hiking trails just steps away. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the host was very responsive.
4/5/2026
Great location! Walkable to all local points of interest
3/28/2026
Amazing location with lots of historical sites. One thing to mention is the house is pretty old and the pictures looked very different from what we saw.
3/26/2026
Tony’s place was perfect! My family and I loved this quaint cottage; it was homey, had everything we needed, beautiful views, and all around cozy. Tony was super responsive and communicative; a great host.
Would definitely recommend.
3/19/2026
Tony & Blue Maple were excellent hosts! They were responsive, friendly, informative, helpful, and kind. The cottage was darling and cozy, with everything needed for a pleasant stay in Harpers Ferry. Very walkable to the restaurants and shops in the heart of downtown. I appreciated how great they were to keep me updated and send quick replies with any questions. Grateful for this pleasant stay!
1/18/2026
We had an amazing stay and couldn’t have asked for a better spot for a family trip to Harpers Ferry. The location was perfect for hiking and exploring the area—so many great trails and scenic views nearby.
One of the highlights for us was the trains—my son absolutely loved watching them go by, and it ended up being one of his favorite parts of the whole trip. It was such a fun, unique experience and made the stay feel extra special.
The place was comfortable, welcoming, and a great home base after a full day outside. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!
1/16/2026
This is a lovely historical home in walking distance from Harper Ferry National Historic Site and Appalachian Trail. We felt all the comforts of home.
1/12/2026
This stay was one of my favorites. A very nice, charming home. The location being a walk away from downtown was amazing, and the home is right by the train station, which is great if you plan on taking the train into Harper’s Ferry. Overall, the home is lovely and a great, family friendly location!

Wonderful stay in Harpers Ferry!
We had an excellent stay at this Airbnb in Harpers Ferry. The place was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The home was comfortable and thoughtfully set up, making it easy to relax after a long day of exploring.
The location was a major highlight—quiet, scenic, and close to the main attractions, hiking trails, and historic areas. It was the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and convenience.
The host was responsive, friendly, and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Everything went smoothly, and we felt well taken care of throughout our stay.
Overall, this was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Harpers Ferry. I would happily stay here again!
12/29/2025
We had a pleasant weekend stay, largely thanks to the unbeatable location—perfect for exploring everything Harpers Ferry has to offer. The house has a lot of charm and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed.
However, the property does need some TLC. Several doors (bedroom, closet, balcony, and bathroom) were broken or difficult to use, and we encountered some cleanliness issues with the pull-out couches, including used sheets and trash underneath. On the plus side, the host was very responsive and quick to address our concerns once we reached out. Once the cleaning was sorted, we enjoyed the rest of our stay. A solid choice for the location, provided the maintenance issues are addressed.
10/11/2025
Tony was great. We had a power outage and Tony was very proactive. He sent a handyman to check everything out for us. If you like old Victorian houses this is the place to stay.
9/6/2025
cute house and so close to everything! I loved the walk to town each day

A great place to crash while biking the much the C&O. Wish we had time to check out the town – it looked so cute and was a short walk away.

Our stay was great! Tony was a great communicator. Would stay again.

Great location. Enjoyed the historic ambiance. Rental was a little run down. Mouse poop in the hide-a-bed. Location trumped the cleanliness. Couldn’t beat it!
4/21/2025
Had a really great stay in Harpers Ferry! The cottage had plenty of room for the four of us. Situated on a rather steep hill, it’s within close walking distance of the shops and main attractions. Really lovely place.
4/18/2025
Tony was a great host. He was proactive at reaching out, gave very clear instructions and was responsive to any questions while we were there. The house is like stepping back in time – a great way to experience Harper’s Ferry.
4/6/2025
The location was great and walkable to everything we wanted to see! The view from the back porch was breathtaking and I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the summer. Tony was very responsive to anything we needed and communication was great!
3/18/2025
Beautiful house and area. Lots of hiking and history all within a short walk from the house. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area. Will definitely be back!!
3/15/2025
Overall Harpers Ferry is a great place to visit and the Enchanted Cottage is charming and very conveniently located. We felt right at home. I felt we got a great deal on the price of this property. Tony offered assistance on recommendations couple of times and responded promptly. We did have a concern about bedding in the second room with twin beds and being short of towels. Tony assisted with what he could. We had a great time and am very thankful to be welcomed here

It was really cold in the house, and it was hard to get comfortable. There was no hairdryer, and apparently there was no way to bring one to me so I had to let my hair dry in the cold.
3/9/2025
Great location in Harper’s Ferry. Great space/size for ourselves and children. Would be challenging to share the space with other adults, as there is only one bathroom that has a small shower in the master. Only complaint from our stay was that the heat had a hard time keeping up with the temperature outside (outside was 44 at night). The room in the back with the double beds got very cold (our baby monitor was reading 63 degrees). Wouldn’t deter us from staying again, we would just pack warmer clothes!
3/4/2025
This place was perfect for my short getaway – the house was cozy and comfortable and the host was extremely helpful and responsive.
2/26/2025
Tony was absolutely wonderful to communicate with. We ended up not visiting but the property is so beautiful, and I really appreciated his help and patience. I would recommend anyone to stay with him!
2/12/2025
Just as advertised with great host communication. Easy fun walk to town! Enjoyed our stay tremendously.

Our stay at Waverly Cottage was fantastic! Tony and the Blue Maple Team were incredibly thoughtful and communicative, even allowing us to check in early, which was such a nice surprise. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The house manual was super helpful, and their little reminder about the faucet during freezing temps showed how much they care about the property and their guests.
Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and stress-free! Highly recommend Waverly Cottage and the Blue Maple Team for anyone looking for a great getaway.
12/12/2024
Great historic home in the heart of harpers ferry. Had everything we could of asked for!! Deffinently recommend staying here!
12/2/2024
Cute little cottage in the historic district, well located, up a steep hill. Old, of course, that’s part of the charm. Parking on narrow one way street across from the cottage
10/31/2024
Nice central location near historic Harper’s Ferry Main Street. The place met our needs for our bike journey passing through the area, although one of the beds was unusable due to mouse droppings in the bed.
10/23/2024
We enjoyed our time at Tony’s place, very walkable to downtown and hiking trails. The house was clean and private with lots of nature surrounding 🙂 As a couple staying, it was more space than we needed and probably a better value for larger families or groups. It is an older home, but that’s what we expected and part of the charm. Tony was great to work with, and was super responsive and checked in with us leading up to and throughout our stay.
10/16/2024
House is in a perfect location for a Harper’s Ferry weekend. Easy walk to town center, but up away from the crowds! Tony was a great communicator. Only thing to note is the only upstairs bathroom is off the queen bedroom;, not the hallway. The other bathroom is on the first floor. Depending on your situation, this could be awkward.
9/15/2024
For a last minute spontaneous booking we were fortunate to find such a convenient and comfortable Airbnb so close to the historic area.
9/12/2024
Great location and a genuine old original house. Easy parking directly outside was a bonus. Very comfortable
9/6/2024
Comfortable enough for a short stay, but I wouldn’t return.
Pros: Fast WiFi, self check-in, the important parts were clean (linens, bathrooms, kitchen)
Cons:
– Primary room had a full size bed instead of queen (I measured it) & was not comfortable for 2 adults
– Advertises a dedicated workspace, but there is not a desk anywhere in the house. You can work at the kitchen table or on a couch on your lap
– Furniture was dusty, blinds were filthy & most didn’t work, dust and cobwebs in the staircase & corners, water filter needs replacing — this house doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention
– No hairdryer, despite being listed as an amenity
– The house is at a significant slant, to the point that we didn’t feel safe using the back porch & when we tried to play board games pieces rolled off the table
– Check out is early (10am) with a hefty fine if you are late. But they will sell you a late check out for $50. Felt predatory, bad first impression

We really enjoyed staying the weekend here in Harpers Ferry at this House. The History in this town and the house as well is one of the coolest things we found about staying! this house was just like pictured and your able to walk to everything in town. close to one of the best restaurants and trails! the house was so clean and the owner was great with directions and very helpful making it least but complicated to get there and stay. it was easily found. great parking spaces, very convenient. I will definitely be staying here again in the future! I reccomend anyone looking to stay to do so. it’s a trip worth making! I didn’t want to leave this cool town!
8/18/2024
stayed at the cottage for three nights, felt part of old Harper’s ferry history in this 1830’s home. being in lower town was great and easy parking. nice and clean with privacy.
8/12/2024
The location of the home is amazing! It is just up the hill from Harper’s Ferry. We walked into “town” every night. It is very close to Jefferson Rock, the Appalachian Trail and where the two rivers meet. The area is beautiful! A note that the hill is very steep. The house looks more worn then in the photos. It was clean, but the furniture was mismatched and worn. A note on the bathroom situation- the half bath is a small closet directly off the kitchen. The only full bath, so only shower, is off the main bedroom. So, everyone has to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. Just something to be aware of if you have a larger party or a mixed group. We loved hearing and watching the trains, it added to the feel of the house. We brought a noise machine and they didnt bother us at night. There are a bunch of games, books and puzzles around the house. Parking is directly in front, but a narrow space. Overall a unique house in a unique area that we really enjoyed.

Positive:
The location and character of the cottage.
Negative:
Some internal doors were missing and bedroom doors didn't close properly. The hairdryer was taped up and felt unsafe to use and there was no dishwasher.

Very cozy and quaint cottage. Harpers Ferry is such cool place and staying at a historic cottage so close to the historic district made us feel part of it. 2 min walk to Jefferson rock was a bonus.

Fantastic location by Old Downtown, but a street away to make the stay feel private. Tiny was proactive and made sure I had the info that I needed. Parking was easy, the place was spotless; we had a great time. Being so close to the confluence / downtown meant that we could walk around with leisure, unworried about finding a place to park or bringing stuff with us “just in case.” I’d happily return here for future stays.

Excellent location! Perfect for our gang! Parking convenient!

3/26/2024
We enjoyed ourselves and the location was great! The house has settled over the years ( to be expected for a home this old) … always felt we were walking down hill in any room we entered. All said and done, our stay was great and we will definitely remember this home for years to come.

This house is full of charm! We loved the original details of this Victorian beauty and the modern updates that made it perfect for our family of 4. The beds were super comfortable, the view from the back deck was amazing, and we loved the location so close to town. If you do walk to town, wear your walking shoes – it’s a pretty steep hike! If you love older homes, this cottage is a perfect place to fully experience historic Harpers Ferry.

The house was as described and in the pictures – clean, cozy, comfortable. We had all we needed, and more – it was nice to find coffee and creamer in the kitchen, not always the case in ABnB! Communication was prompt and always helpful. We had a peaceful and nice one night. Will definitely come again when in the area.

Great location to shops, restaurants and trails. Tony extremely helpful and communicative.
Good size for a family of 4, very cozy, kitchen well stocked with cookware.
Tony, thank you for sharing your home 🙂

The perfect spot a 2 minute walk from the Main Street. Lovely having our own parking spot and easy entry in and out with the keypad. I would stay here again.

It was a great location to the old church and cemetery. It was also fun staying in such an old house. It would be neat to see a history of the house printed out.

Being that it is old. It has a strong, musty smell.

Great spot in HF. Walking distance to lower town, train station, and the Appalachian trail. Fits 4 adults comfortably. Full Bathroom is only accessible through main bedroom

We loved our stay at Tony’s place in Harper’s Ferry! The views of the river were just wonderful and we appreciated having coffee on hand and toys for our little one! We had everything we needed and would love to come back 🙂
12/12/2023
Lovely stay! Kitchen was full of everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including coffee and sugar! Cooking was easy and enjoyable. Space is as described, cozy and comfortable! Host was very informative and responsive.
11/27/2023
Tony was great, and the house fit for what we needed. Just understand that with a house that old there will be issues such as uneven floors, steep and narrow stairs, plumbing and fixture issues.
10/19/2023
This is the perfect spot in Harper’s Ferry. We walked to and from town multiple times a day because the distance to town is so perfect. In the morning we woke up to a family of deer in the backyard.

Close to downtown and hikes. Parking. Cottage was nice, facilities great! Very enjoyable!

The freight trains through Harper's at night are LOUD ha ha. Bring some earplugs!!
9/28/2023
This cute little cottage is in a fabulous position for an easy walk to everything in the historic centre. It is in a beautiful and mostly peaceful situation. The issue for us was the loud noise of the train close by every hour throughout the night.
It is very well appointed with everything you might need. The wifi did not work at all which was frustrating. Tony was very responsive but unfortunately this issue did not resolve.
I would definitely recommend staying here for position and character but do be aware of the train noise.
9/25/2023
Rented the house for my wife and her girlfriends for the weekend. Super easy instructions from Tony and they had a great time. Would definitely book this house again!
9/4/2023
My husband and I stayed here with another couple over Labor Day weekend. Location is awesome and Tony was a great host!
9/3/2023
Charming house walking distance from historic Harpers Ferry. House is old but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed our time here and would stay here again!
8/28/2023
Tony was a delight to get to know. He was very responsive in a quick manner. He was able to offer us a early check-in . The home was lovely up in the wooded area but walking distances to most attractions. I highly recommend Tony’s place and will be back again:)

The cabin was a great place for our family meet-up. Tony is a very responsive host, and Harper’s Ferry is a fabulous destination for lovers of history, outdoor activities, and peaceful surroundings. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
7/30/2023
Wonderful place in an historic mountain town.
7/9/2023
Perfect stop for anyone on the C&O or AT….as long as you are a close group, given the one shower.
The porches and layout are awesome for hanging out.
Sleeping arrangements are comfortable and the CENTRAL AIR is gold for after a hot day on the trail
6/12/2023
This cute little historic house clean and comfortable for a small group. it is walking distance from historic Harper’s Ferry including Jefferson’s Rock.
Unfortunately, Harper’s Ferry rolls up the sidewalks at 8:00 so there is really no point in staying walking distance from Harper’s Ferry because the town is really a day-time attraction. The town isn’t really open in the morning either with only one small coffee shop open before 10:00.
So, I would highly recommend this place if you are not planning on doing anything at night or in the morning.
6/12/2023
The location was wonderful but the house had several problems – bedroom door could not close so no privacy, most of the window blinds did not work so much of the house was dark, no bed sheets available for one of the pull out beds.
The cost did not seem worth it.
6/11/2023
Excellent location, charming house, and attentive host. I booked this place for a night over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time exploring the Harper’s Ferry area. It is positioned at the top of a hill with the town a short walk down below. Everything you need is walkable from the house, including hiking trails, boutique stores, restaurants, and museums. The home itself is older, but full of historic charm and plenty of space for you and your guests. Tony was very helpful and accommodating throughout the process. He has streamlined the check-in process with the home manual he created and everything was very straightforward and easy. Highly recommend this house and the area if you’re like me and wanted to get out of the city and back to the sights and smells of nature. If so, this is the spot!
5/9/2023
Very much enjoyed the stay. Recommend this Air-Bnb for anyone looking to stay in the area. Thank you Tony
5/6/2023
A lovely old house in the center of town . So character filled one almost expected to see the ghost of civil war soldier. We all enjoyed our time there. My kids liked the little ‘nook’ of games, books etc
5/3/2023
Great house, stayed one night with 6 of us after a long day of hiking. Worked great for our needs.
5/1/2023
Super comfortable house for our stay in Harper’s Ferry. Easy to walk to the historic district. Tony is a great host, always responsive. We are glad to have chosen to stay here and highly recommend the house!
4/15/2023
The location was convenient to the National Historic Park and the cemetery. All was within a short walk but beware, the entire area is very hilly and steep in spots. One of our party had some trouble walking. You get a view of the River from the back porch , which was rickety, so we left the back door open for the view. It is a very peaceful location aside from the train whistle which took some getting used to. The cottage is quaint and has some history so it sure made you feel part of this historic community. The host is most responsive to questions or concerns.
4/6/2023
I stayed at Tony’s place with my sister and a friend for a girl’s getaway. The cottage is very charming and in a great location in Harper’s Ferry, walkable to shops and restaurants, and with a nice view of the town and river. The home was very clean and amenities were as advertised. Tony was very responsive and communicative.
The road leading to the home can be a bit tricky, but having a dedicated parking space was ideal, given that parking in the town is limited. We had a great time, and it is the perfect location for a trip to Harper’s Ferry.
4/2/2023
Staying in Tony’s home made the trip during our kids’ spring break. The location is phenomenal and staying in this historic home, surrounded by historic Harpers Ferry, gave us an appreciation for the town in ways that staying somewhere else simply couldn’t have given us. Tony was a great communicator and helped on the one or two things where we needed a little extra help. We’re grateful for the experience and will keep these memories for a long time.
3/26/2023
Not much to say. If you want to stay in Harper’s Ferry I cannot think of a better place. The location is fantastic and walkable. Getting there is easy and parking is convenient. The house is clean and exactly as described. The owners are available and keep great communication. Would happily stay there again!
3/20/2023
Tony is a fantastic host and I highly recommend!

My three girlfriends and I stayed here for a weekend away. The four of us fit perfectly in the house and enjoyed our stay. The car we drove basically stayed parked all weekend and we loved walking all over the town and trials. Tony was very responsive and had great recommendations!
2/22/2023
This was a great place to stay! Perfect location for walking to Harper’s Ferry attractions and we enjoyed walking around. The back porch has a great view. Check in was super easy. Tony was very responsive when we asked questions.

Great place with an awesome view! Fitted our needs perfectly for a quick getaway. 10/10. Would go back again.

Outstanding location in the very heart of Harpers Ferry! Everything is walkable and the hiking is literally steps from your door. We really enjoyed the peaceful location and quiet while also enjoying the beautiful scenery – hiking Maryland Heights Trail and checking out Jefferson’s Rock. It was Presidents Day so the Park Service had a special presentation by a retired Park Ranger which was awesome. We walked up to Bolivar Bakery (about .5 miles away) and enjoyed some amazing baked goods for breakfast each morning. Tony is a great host and the space is amazing…will definitely book with him again – super responsive and very friendly.

The Jefferson Look is less than 0.2 miles. The Balcony view from the cottage is gorgeous! Great place!

We had a great time and spent a lot more time in the house with the 15F cold front that kept us bundled inside ! we cooked and played games and escaped just to visit the rabbit hole. I do suggest trying to carpool, only two spots come with the rental, we had to park at the river access and pay the 20 fee, which was fine, just didn’t plan for the coordination.

Great experience and have had many stays like this one (simple winter get-away) to compare to. Great town and just enough for a good 2 days. Hiking central!. House was a great location to walk for drink / dinner and coffee. Your parking will be the envy of all out of town visitors.
1/29/2023
If you are looking for a place close to the hiking and shops in Harpers Ferry, you simply cannot bet this location. Its a few steep steps away from all the historic sights and shops. It was
Tony was in constant communication, both in advance, and during our stay. You get to park about two steps form the front door, which is handy. The house had a few games, movies, and books that very much complimented my daughter’s interests and the West Virginia, birds, and historic themed decorations were a very nice touch. It has the feeling of an old farmhouse with a few of the needed modernizations. Wi-Fi and Roku worked fine.
Tips:
– Be careful of the step into the bathroom in the main bedroom to avoid stubbing your toe 🙂
– Most of the town will be closed during times of inclement weather.
– Recommend the Rabbit Hole Gastropub for drinks and food, including outdoor seating in a bubble during colder weather.
– Battlegrounds Coffee had great sandwiches and baked goods and a friendly staff.

My family and I stayed two nights in this charming, old house, and felt cozy and welcomed. The house had everything we needed. Comfortable, pretty bedrooms and some games and books that the kids loved. Great location and very clear instructions. The host was easy to reach and checked in on us a few times to be sure we had what we needed. I’d love to stay here again.
1/20/2023
Cute and quiet. View of the station and the rivers. View of the town as well. All walking distance. If you want peace and quiet and a place to just wind down, this is it. It’s like staying in history. Walki g distance from everything.
1/10/2023
Perfect spot – have literally no complaints. Book it!
1/5/2023
Our stay exceeded our expectations. We were visiting Harper’s Ferry just after the New Year so it was off season. Tony helped us figure out what would be open and where we could get good meals. The cottage is spacious, spotless and well equipped. It is a beautiful but updated period home. We loved our short stay and hope to be able to return for a longer visit. Would love to spend some time sitting on the beautiful back porch! The location is relation to downtown Harper’s Ferry could not be any better. Just a great house for a very good price!
1/2/2023
Such a cute little house in the historic downtown of Harper’s Ferry! We spend the day hiking before checking in to freshen up then went to a winery. Then we were able to easily walk to dinner and to breakfast the following morning. Tony provided us with a guide which we found very helpful. We would def recommend this house to others.
12/29/2022
Harpers Ferry is beautiful and the location of Tony’s home was perfect: lovely views and an easy walk to shops, restaurants, hikes and all of the historic sights… and I loved hearing all the trains go by!
I appreciated the overall aesthetic and coziness of the house – with its comfy beds, well-appointed kitchen, and the thoughtful consideration to basic necessities that were provided (sugar, creamers, basic spices, food wrap, paper products, etc).
It was a great place to relax from the holidays and Tony was a thoughtful, accessible, host!
12/25/2022
Cute little house centrally located in Harpers Ferry. We made a last minute reservation but it was not a problem at all for Tony. Communication was perfect and we enjoyed spending Christmas there!
12/18/2022
This charming little home is exactly as described and Tony is such a gracious host. We felt right at home the moment we walked inside! It’s super clean and kept in fantastic condition. It’s situated in a nice, quiet area of downtown Harper’s Ferry, within walking distance to all attractions and restaurants, making it the perfect location if you’re looking for a weekend getaway with your partner or family. Beautiful, historic home, amazing host and excellent location. Highly recommend!

Beautiful historic cottage in the heart of Harpers Ferry. If you are a history buff, this is your place! Peaceful weekend getaway that’s just close enough to bigger surrounding cities for the essentials. Would happily stay here again! 🙂

Tony was an attentive and helpful host! My family and I had a lovely stay. We wish we had time to see more. The location is perfect for future exploration.
11/20/2022
It was very clean and it’s a very quiet town
11/14/2022
We loved Tony’s cottage! Quaint, cozy, and comfortable.
11/7/2022
My family stayed a night in this cabin and it was perfect. Being our trip was so short, the location was ideal to spend as much time in town as we could before we had to head home. Only blocks from downtown, charming cabin and friendly neighbors. The host was very responsive and knowledgeable of the area. Thank you for a great stay!
11/6/2022
This cottage is in the perfect location in Harper’s Ferry with everything being walking distance! The parking is a bit tight but not unexpected. Our stay was nice, the home was clean, and we had everything we needed. Feels like an authentically historic stay in an historic town.
10/26/2022
Great location for being close to all the hikes, walks, history and restaurants in Harper’s Ferry. The house is very comfortable, and well furnished and decorated, felt every bit of the cozy mountain home that it is. We really enjoyed the back deck and views, the homey touches, and the shower was perfectly hot with great water pressure after a day of hiking! Definitely a perfect stay for our little get away!
10/23/2022
Tony’s place was perfect for what our group needed. We walked everywhere and never had to drive after arriving. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable. Tony was an excellent communicator. Would recommend to anybody!
10/17/2022
Cool old house in Harper’s Ferry, the place is very clean
10/17/2022
Great little house! Perfect location and very clean. This house was a great fit for my family! This is an old house so be sure to read the reviews, historical houses have varying quirks. This one’s rooms are small, ceilings are low, some spaces feel cramped (primary bathroom), and floors are not level, but that didn’t ruin our experience. The only “full” (3/4) bathroom is located within the main bedroom. The layout of this house wouldn’t suit larger families, families with teenagers, or couples traveling together. I’ve read most of the reviews, the positive reviewers and the negative ones are each accurate, so you can trust them and decide for yourself how the pros and cons weigh out for your particular travel plans and who you are traveling with. (We’re a family of 5, our kids’ ages are 12, 9, and 7. None of us are large or have mobility issues, and I love historical architecture and so can overlook flaws that might really be a problem for others.) I would highly recommend this house to couples or families similar to mine!
10/17/2022
Positive:
Incredible location with friendly and helpful neighbors, that allows you to walk to everything in only a few minutes. The house is a very charming and cozy inside. They have a million dollar view from the back balcony of the train tunnel that is unfortunately mostly blocked by the foliage. This would be my one suggestion for improvement, trim the foliage to take advantage of the view. This was our first, but definitely not our last trip to Harpers Ferry and we’ll definitely stay here again when we come back. The host had great communication and the house was spotless when we arrived. Parking is right in front of the house and can accommodate two vehicles. Like some have said, parking is a little tight, but as long as you don’t drive a dually you should be fine!
10/14/2022
Nice house within walking distance of a lot of Harpers Ferry sites. Tony was very responsive to any communication and the house was comfortable and convenient.
10/13/2022
We had a great stay at this cabin in Harper’s Ferry! It’s a short 5-10 minute walk from the lower town area which made for a lovely evening stroll shortly after we checked in. The area is hilly and may not be the most accessible terrain for those with walking difficulties or different abilities. (But that’s just the area and no fault of the owners!) The cabin itself was wonderfully quaint. The space was clean and cozy. We loved sitting out on the back porch. The only complaint we had was that we wish we had more time off and could’ve stayed longer!
10/10/2022
My son, granddaughter and I stayed for an amazing weekend. Tony’s place is superb. Very clean, cozy, and feels like a true home away from
Home. Great communication and the location is PERFECT!
There is only one full bath with access only from the master bedroom (the other is a 1/2 bath downstairs) so it may get a little busy for larger groups. But it was a truly wonderful stay for our little family.
We hope to return again!
10/4/2022
This place was wonderful! It was in walking distance to everything. Tony was very communicative. My dad is a bird guy and absolutely loved the decor. Would love to come back and stay there again!
10/1/2022
I loved the house. Old but cozy. Very close to the main town area. While the trains do run frequently, I slept through most of them. Reminded me of my grandparents house in Ohio next to the railroad.

We totally dug this place. So cool on many levels. History. Comfort. Convenience. Location. Beds were comfy. The kitchen was stocked nicely with stuff.

Very nice small house sooo close to everything there is to see and do in quaint Harpers Ferry lower town. (Maybe a little too close for light sleepers as the train line is very active!). House was clean and pleasant, it got a little tight with four of us from 17 to senior citizen in the place; it is not palatial but built to 1800s typical smaller standards. We enjoyed our stay.
7/24/2022
Beautiful home in Harper’s Ferry..
7/24/2022
This is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Harper’s Ferry or the surrounding area. You are within walking distance to everythiing in downtown Harper’s Ferry. We were surprised to arrive to whitetail deer grazing the yard within 10 feet of the house that weren’t scared off when they saw us. It was a common occurance during out stay to always have the deer right in the yard like pets…it was really neat! The house was perfect for us and I have no complaints at all. I especially like the good water pressure in the shower. Thanks for sharing your home, I hope to stay again!
7/21/2022
We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to return! Tony was the perfect host. The check-in was easy; Tony kindly let us arrive an hour earlier at no extra charge. The accommodations, including a nicely stocked kitchen, were just what we needed. The location was delightful and the views breathtaking. We could easily walk to exhibits & restaurants (The Rabbit Hole and Battle Grounds Bakery and Coffee hit the spot). An entrance to the Appalachian Trail was just a couple hundred feet from our front door. The staircase to the second floor (where the bedrooms are) is a bit steep. One of the two upstairs bedrooms doesn’t have access to a bathroom apart from the one located in the other bedroom, but there is a half bath downstairs. The layout may not work for everybody, but it worked just fine for us. We’ll be back!

My wife and I rented this place to celebrate our 10th year anniversary. Great setting and great historic home.
6/30/2022
Quaint old home very central to the historic area of Harpers Ferry. A 500 foot walk down the street takes you past historic ruins, St Peter’s church, the appalachian trail staircase, and numerous NHP buildings. This is extremely important as parking for the historic area is often more than a very hilly 1/2 mile away. The views from the back porch are stunning.
The home does show its 200 years in some ways. There are plenty of sloping floors, crooked door frames, and interior doors that don’t close all the way. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, the AC works well, and there is plenty of comfortable furniture.
The layout description is a little misleading. There is a very small half bath off of the kitchen, and a small 3/4 bath (shower, no tub) off of the master bedroom upstairs. There is a master bedroom with its own access to the hall, but the other 2 “bedrooms” are really 1 bedroom with a forechamber that has to be passed though to get to the real bedroom.
The parking spot is so narrow that passengers have to get out of your car before you finish parking. Historic narrow streets…
If you want to immerse yourself in history, this is a wonderful, quirky, old home in the center of everything. If you want a large luxurious home, look elsewhere.

Adorable and great location

We loved that this place is Iocated in the historic Harper’s Ferry town. Being close to everything is so fun.

Beautifully maintained antique cottage with lovely hosts! We really enjoyed our stay. There is a wonderful back porch too that looks onto a pretty green area and we could hear a train in the distance! Hosts were very responsive and kind. We would stay there again! (One note – Harpers Ferry is built on a steep hillside so be prepared for narrow roads.)

Great cottage! Great experience!

The house was very cool and old (my favorite!) but was kept up quite well. Everything we needed was available. It included two street parking spots and is just a walk to town.

Negative:
The house is showing its age on the outside in a few places.
4/23/2022
Was an awesome place close to everything. Tony was awesome to deal with. Only downfall was the road is very small and the parking is tight. The house is made for 4 guests instead of 7 unless you use the pullout sofa and the pullout chair. Really is a 2 bedroom. My fault i did not read correctly. For that money i definitely would want 3 actual bedrooms. Overall was a great weekend trip.
4/22/2022
The house has everything one needs to settle in to explore & experience the history of Harpers Ferry. Everything you need to make yourself at home is provided and the space is very comfortable. Parking is tight but when you visit, you will notice that most every street is narrow and everyone can manage accordingly. The location of this home is perfect for walking just about everywhere you’d want to visit within the town of Harpers Ferry. Our three kids loved that they didn’t have to get in & out of the car to go everywhere. Overall the experience was a good one! Tony was amazing at communicating as well as making local recommendations. We also recommend a history and ghost tour for the evening. Ghost Tours of Harpers Ferry provided a great tour of some of the most “haunted” buildings & areas around town while providing a wonderful history lesson of the area through storytelling.
Side note about visiting before May….The town itself was not fully open. Restaurants were slim and most things closed by 5pm. The places that were open were wonderful. Just plan ahead by checking what the restaurant schedules are as well all battlefield days/hours, day excursions such as the Potomac Eagle train, etc.

Location is great with great communication from the host. Roads are narrow leading to it and parking is tight, but the location can’t be beat.

Location in Harper's Ferry was great. Instructions for parking clear and room for two cars. Very comfortable and all needed equipment, kitchen tools and supplies were there.
Negative:
We understand that there were likely some issues that prompted use of air fresheners, but the strong freshener odor was overwhelming. We unplugged the electric ones. It was not a problem for us, but explaining that it's really 1 full bath ensuite with one of the bedrooms and 1 half bath would help viewers.

The location of the cottage is ideal. Walking around Harper’s Ferry is a magical experience, and this place provides fantastic access, including the benefit of parking! The cottage itself was charming and well-equipped. We had everything we needed for our family stay…even some legos to entertain the kiddos. Communication was quick and easy. We would recommend this place for a small group looking to stay in Harper’s Ferry.

This historic house is situated right inside the hilly downtown of Harper’s Ferry. It’s walkable (or maybe hikable considering those hills) to cafes, the historic area, and several hiking trails.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and Tony was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome location, you can walk to everything from the house. Parking seems like it can be tough in Harpers Ferry, so having a place so close to everything with parking is huge. Just don’t plan to bring an extra large vehicle, the spot in front of the house is tight. We have a mid sized pick up and we were fine, but anything bigger could get tricky.

A great place to stay! We enjoyed our time immesnsely. Tony was very good with communication, and the cabin was exactly as described. We hope to come back sometime for a longer stay.

This was the perfect place to stay for my birthday celebration with my friends! It was walkable to all the shops in Harper's Ferry and was secluded. Keep in mind to get to the house on either side you do have to walk up hills, but that is just how Harper's Ferry is! The porch in the morning was absolutely lovely. Highly recommend!

I had such a great stay in this 1840s cottage. While the cottage has all the modern conveniences we’re used to, the historic charm is at every turn! The cottage is spacious, comfortable, private, fully stocked, and in a great location. The cute porches are perfect for relaxing and taking in the beautiful natural surroundings.
This was a business trip, and I worked from the cottage a few hours each day. The WiFi was perfect for web meetings. It was also nice to work in a peaceful and quiet environment.
Put on some comfortable shoes and walk charming Harpers Ferry! There’s so much to explore, including the National Park just across the street!
As for hosts, Tony & Blue Maple are exceptional! I didn’t need to reach out to them during my stay, but they kept in touch from booking to check out.
I will definitely book this cottage again!

We loved this quirky historical home! We did not mind that it was not “pristine” in terms of what a more modern home might offer but that was part of its charm, it felt like a real home and was so sweetly decorated. Even though it’s small we were perfectly comfortable as a family of six and really appreciated how helpful the owners were. The best part was walking from this quiet home directly into Harper’s Ferry- so much history and unbelievable beauty right outside the door! We loved our time here!

Tony was a great host, the place fit right in with the feel of the town; historic and the decor was perfect. We could easily walk to town and trails. You can hear the passing trains at night, it didn’t bother me but you may want to bring a sound machine if you need quiet to sleep.

We loved this cabin in the heart of Harper’s Ferry! It is a charmingly updated old home with a great setup for a family with kids. We loved the back porch looking out on the town and river for coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. The location cannot be beat - there are so many restaurants, shops, and hiking trails just steps away. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the host was very responsive.

We had an amazing stay and couldn’t have asked for a better spot for a family trip to Harpers Ferry. The location was perfect for hiking and exploring the area—so many great trails and scenic views nearby.
One of the highlights for us was the trains—my son absolutely loved watching them go by, and it ended up being one of his favorite parts of the whole trip. It was such a fun, unique experience and made the stay feel extra special.
The place was comfortable, welcoming, and a great home base after a full day outside. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!

This stay was one of my favorites. A very nice, charming home. The location being a walk away from downtown was amazing, and the home is right by the train station, which is great if you plan on taking the train into Harper’s Ferry. Overall, the home is lovely and a great, family friendly location!

Wonderful stay in Harpers Ferry!
We had an excellent stay at this Airbnb in Harpers Ferry. The place was very clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The home was comfortable and thoughtfully set up, making it easy to relax after a long day of exploring.
The location was a major highlight—quiet, scenic, and close to the main attractions, hiking trails, and historic areas. It was the perfect balance of peaceful surroundings and convenience.
The host was responsive, friendly, and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Everything went smoothly, and we felt well taken care of throughout our stay.
Overall, this was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting Harpers Ferry. I would happily stay here again!

We had a pleasant weekend stay, largely thanks to the unbeatable location—perfect for exploring everything Harpers Ferry has to offer. The house has a lot of charm and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed.
However, the property does need some TLC. Several doors (bedroom, closet, balcony, and bathroom) were broken or difficult to use, and we encountered some cleanliness issues with the pull-out couches, including used sheets and trash underneath. On the plus side, the host was very responsive and quick to address our concerns once we reached out. Once the cleaning was sorted, we enjoyed the rest of our stay. A solid choice for the location, provided the maintenance issues are addressed.

Tony was great. We had a power outage and Tony was very proactive. He sent a handyman to check everything out for us. If you like old Victorian houses this is the place to stay.

cute house and so close to everything! I loved the walk to town each day
9/5/2025
A great place to crash while biking the much the C&O. Wish we had time to check out the town - it looked so cute and was a short walk away.

Amazing location, characterful house, great facilities and really fast response re queries. Would happily return!
7/18/2025
We got a text an hour before checkin that the AC was broken which was particularly frustrating because it was 95f that day in Harper's Ferry. The accommodation had no fans and when I asked if they could be made available I didn't get a reply. The night was rough but the repairman did come when expected the next day and after that there were no other problems. Host had some good recommendations for the location and everything was walking distance. Rating would've been lower because of the AC but besides not providing fans the communication was pretty good.

Tony was helpful and gave quick responses to our questions.

Thank you for a lovely stay. Charming home and walking distance to historic downtown and train station. A great spot to experience Harper’s Ferry.

** CAUTION CONTAMINATED WATER **
I happened to find a notice on top of the toaster from Harper's Ferry Waterworks dated June 9 (we checked in June 17) stating to BOIL all water for drinking, cooking, and teeth brushing.
I was not notified there was any issue with the water. I randomly saw the notice after my kids drank some of the water.
** POOR MANAGEMENT **
I believe this property is poorly managed and kept which is a shame because the location is excellent and it really has so much potential. The host was not helpful at all when I notified him about the water. We otherwise had a great trip with excellent experiences zip lining with River Riders, sight seeing and dinner at Rabbit Hole.
*** POTENTIAL CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK **
Incessant beeping was coming from the basement which we couldn't access. It sounded like the carbon monoxide detector. We slept with the windows open to circulate air.
I would not stay here again, but would visit Harper's Ferry.
6/3/2025
great spot loved the location and had a great time here very relaxing.
5/28/2025
Nice place, quiet and close to the town.

Wonderful location and impeccably clean. Tony was very communicative and helpful. The space isn't luxurious, but comfortable and clean. A perfect place for a family exploring Harpers Ferry.

Wonderful location and charming home. Exactly what you want for a stay in Harper’s Ferry!
5/11/2025
Our stay was great! Tony was a great communicator. Would stay again.
5/7/2025
Great location. Enjoyed the historic ambiance. Rental was a little run down. Mouse poop in the hide-a-bed. Location trumped the cleanliness. Couldn’t beat it!
4/21/2025
Had a really great stay in Harpers Ferry! The cottage had plenty of room for the four of us. Situated on a rather steep hill, it’s within close walking distance of the shops and main attractions. Really lovely place.
4/18/2025
Tony was a great host. He was proactive at reaching out, gave very clear instructions and was responsive to any questions while we were there. The house is like stepping back in time - a great way to experience Harper's Ferry.
4/6/2025
The location was great and walkable to everything we wanted to see! The view from the back porch was breathtaking and I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the summer. Tony was very responsive to anything we needed and communication was great!
3/18/2025
Beautiful house and area. Lots of hiking and history all within a short walk from the house. Would recommend to anyone coming to the area. Will definitely be back!!
3/15/2025
Overall Harpers Ferry is a great place to visit and the Enchanted Cottage is charming and very conveniently located. We felt right at home. I felt we got a great deal on the price of this property. Tony offered assistance on recommendations couple of times and responded promptly. We did have a concern about bedding in the second room with twin beds and being short of towels. Tony assisted with what he could. We had a great time and am very thankful to be welcomed here

It was really cold in the house, and it was hard to get comfortable. There was no hairdryer, and apparently there was no way to bring one to me so I had to let my hair dry in the cold.
3/9/2025
Great location in Harper's Ferry. Great space/size for ourselves and children. Would be challenging to share the space with other adults, as there is only one bathroom that has a small shower in the master. Only complaint from our stay was that the heat had a hard time keeping up with the temperature outside (outside was 44 at night). The room in the back with the double beds got very cold (our baby monitor was reading 63 degrees). Wouldn't deter us from staying again, we would just pack warmer clothes!
3/4/2025
This place was perfect for my short getaway - the house was cozy and comfortable and the host was extremely helpful and responsive.
2/26/2025
Tony was absolutely wonderful to communicate with. We ended up not visiting but the property is so beautiful, and I really appreciated his help and patience. I would recommend anyone to stay with him!
2/12/2025
Just as advertised with great host communication. Easy fun walk to town! Enjoyed our stay tremendously.
2/1/2025
Cottage was wonderfully charming. Looked like the pictures in a wonderful location.
Our turning point was when the “stocked with coffee and shampoo” did not come through. No coffee and 2 empty bottles of shampoo. There is no convenience store nearby.
The downstairs pull out bed had crumbs and popcorn in it and no clean sheets.
Noticeable cobwebs on the ceiling and light fixtures. Dust bunnies on the floor in certain areas and dust on the tables.
Tony was pleasant and quick to respond. However, I was receiving multiple emails and texts from Tony but some of them were automated and did not pertain to this particular property which was confusing.
1/29/2025
An adequate overnight to provide some rest after a long day of driving
12/24/2024
Great place within walking distance of all of the attractions in Harpers Ferry.
12/22/2024
Our stay at Waverly Cottage was fantastic! Tony and the Blue Maple Team were incredibly thoughtful and communicative, even allowing us to check in early, which was such a nice surprise. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. The house manual was super helpful, and their little reminder about the faucet during freezing temps showed how much they care about the property and their guests.
Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and stress-free! Highly recommend Waverly Cottage and the Blue Maple Team for anyone looking for a great getaway.
12/12/2024
Great historic home in the heart of harpers ferry. Had everything we could of asked for!! Deffinently recommend staying here!
12/2/2024
Cute little cottage in the historic district, well located, up a steep hill. Old, of course, that’s part of the charm. Parking on narrow one way street across from the cottage
10/31/2024
Nice central location near historic Harper’s Ferry Main Street. The place met our needs for our bike journey passing through the area, although one of the beds was unusable due to mouse droppings in the bed.
10/23/2024
We enjoyed our time at Tony’s place, very walkable to downtown and hiking trails. The house was clean and private with lots of nature surrounding 🙂 As a couple staying, it was more space than we needed and probably a better value for larger families or groups. It is an older home, but that’s what we expected and part of the charm. Tony was great to work with, and was super responsive and checked in with us leading up to and throughout our stay.
10/16/2024
House is in a perfect location for a Harper's Ferry weekend. Easy walk to town center, but up away from the crowds! Tony was a great communicator. Only thing to note is the only upstairs bathroom is off the queen bedroom;, not the hallway. The other bathroom is on the first floor. Depending on your situation, this could be awkward.
9/15/2024
For a last minute spontaneous booking we were fortunate to find such a convenient and comfortable Airbnb so close to the historic area.
9/12/2024
Great location and a genuine old original house. Easy parking directly outside was a bonus. Very comfortable
9/6/2024
Comfortable enough for a short stay, but I wouldn't return.
Pros: Fast WiFi, self check-in, the important parts were clean (linens, bathrooms, kitchen)
Cons:
- Primary room had a full size bed instead of queen (I measured it) & was not comfortable for 2 adults
- Advertises a dedicated workspace, but there is not a desk anywhere in the house. You can work at the kitchen table or on a couch on your lap
- Furniture was dusty, blinds were filthy & most didn't work, dust and cobwebs in the staircase & corners, water filter needs replacing -- this house doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention
- No hairdryer, despite being listed as an amenity
- The house is at a significant slant, to the point that we didn't feel safe using the back porch & when we tried to play board games pieces rolled off the table
- Check out is early (10am) with a hefty fine if you are late. But they will sell you a late check out for $50. Felt predatory, bad first impression
8/21/2024
We really enjoyed staying the weekend here in Harpers Ferry at this House. The History in this town and the house as well is one of the coolest things we found about staying! this house was just like pictured and your able to walk to everything in town. close to one of the best restaurants and trails! the house was so clean and the owner was great with directions and very helpful making it least but complicated to get there and stay. it was easily found. great parking spaces, very convenient. I will definitely be staying here again in the future! I reccomend anyone looking to stay to do so. it's a trip worth making! I didn't want to leave this cool town!
8/18/2024
stayed at the cottage for three nights, felt part of old Harper's ferry history in this 1830's home. being in lower town was great and easy parking. nice and clean with privacy.
8/12/2024
The location of the home is amazing! It is just up the hill from Harper's Ferry. We walked into "town" every night. It is very close to Jefferson Rock, the Appalachian Trail and where the two rivers meet. The area is beautiful! A note that the hill is very steep. The house looks more worn then in the photos. It was clean, but the furniture was mismatched and worn. A note on the bathroom situation- the half bath is a small closet directly off the kitchen. The only full bath, so only shower, is off the main bedroom. So, everyone has to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. Just something to be aware of if you have a larger party or a mixed group. We loved hearing and watching the trains, it added to the feel of the house. We brought a noise machine and they didnt bother us at night. There are a bunch of games, books and puzzles around the house. Parking is directly in front, but a narrow space. Overall a unique house in a unique area that we really enjoyed.

Very cozy and quaint cottage. Harpers Ferry is such cool place and staying at a historic cottage so close to the historic district made us feel part of it. 2 min walk to Jefferson rock was a bonus.

Fantastic location by Old Downtown, but a street away to make the stay feel private. Tiny was proactive and made sure I had the info that I needed. Parking was easy, the place was spotless; we had a great time. Being so close to the confluence / downtown meant that we could walk around with leisure, unworried about finding a place to park or bringing stuff with us "just in case." I'd happily return here for future stays.
4/22/2024
Excellent location! Perfect for our gang! Parking convenient!

Thanks Tony, this was a nice stop in your lovely and nice wooden house.
We were so lucky to have chosen it.

Great location!
3/26/2024
We enjoyed ourselves and the location was great! The house has settled over the years ( to be expected for a home this old) ... always felt we were walking down hill in any room we entered. All said and done, our stay was great and we will definitely remember this home for years to come.

This house is full of charm! We loved the original details of this Victorian beauty and the modern updates that made it perfect for our family of 4. The beds were super comfortable, the view from the back deck was amazing, and we loved the location so close to town. If you do walk to town, wear your walking shoes - it's a pretty steep hike! If you love older homes, this cottage is a perfect place to fully experience historic Harpers Ferry.

The house was as described and in the pictures - clean, cozy, comfortable. We had all we needed, and more - it was nice to find coffee and creamer in the kitchen, not always the case in ABnB! Communication was prompt and always helpful. We had a peaceful and nice one night. Will definitely come again when in the area.

Great location to shops, restaurants and trails. Tony extremely helpful and communicative.
Good size for a family of 4, very cozy, kitchen well stocked with cookware.
Tony, thank you for sharing your home 🙂

Lovely stay! Kitchen was full of everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including coffee and sugar! Cooking was easy and enjoyable. Space is as described, cozy and comfortable! Host was very informative and responsive.

Tony was great, and the house fit for what we needed. Just understand that with a house that old there will be issues such as uneven floors, steep and narrow stairs, plumbing and fixture issues.
10/19/2023
This is the perfect spot in Harper's Ferry. We walked to and from town multiple times a day because the distance to town is so perfect. In the morning we woke up to a family of deer in the backyard.

Close to downtown and hikes. Parking. Cottage was nice, facilities great! Very enjoyable!

The freight trains through Harper's at night are LOUD ha ha. Bring some earplugs!!
9/28/2023
This cute little cottage is in a fabulous position for an easy walk to everything in the historic centre. It is in a beautiful and mostly peaceful situation. The issue for us was the loud noise of the train close by every hour throughout the night.
It is very well appointed with everything you might need. The wifi did not work at all which was frustrating. Tony was very responsive but unfortunately this issue did not resolve.
I would definitely recommend staying here for position and character but do be aware of the train noise.
9/25/2023
Rented the house for my wife and her girlfriends for the weekend. Super easy instructions from Tony and they had a great time. Would definitely book this house again!
9/4/2023
My husband and I stayed here with another couple over Labor Day weekend. Location is awesome and Tony was a great host!
9/3/2023
Charming house walking distance from historic Harpers Ferry. House is old but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed our time here and would stay here again!
8/28/2023
Tony was a delight to get to know. He was very responsive in a quick manner. He was able to offer us a early check-in . The home was lovely up in the wooded area but walking distances to most attractions. I highly recommend Tony’s place and will be back again:)

7/30/2023
Wonderful place in an historic mountain town.
7/9/2023
Perfect stop for anyone on the C&O or AT….as long as you are a close group, given the one shower.
The porches and layout are awesome for hanging out.
Sleeping arrangements are comfortable and the CENTRAL AIR is gold for after a hot day on the trail
6/12/2023
This cute little historic house clean and comfortable for a small group. it is walking distance from historic Harper's Ferry including Jefferson's Rock.
Unfortunately, Harper's Ferry rolls up the sidewalks at 8:00 so there is really no point in staying walking distance from Harper's Ferry because the town is really a day-time attraction. The town isn't really open in the morning either with only one small coffee shop open before 10:00.
So, I would highly recommend this place if you are not planning on doing anything at night or in the morning.
6/12/2023
The location was wonderful but the house had several problems - bedroom door could not close so no privacy, most of the window blinds did not work so much of the house was dark, no bed sheets available for one of the pull out beds.
The cost did not seem worth it.
6/11/2023
Excellent location, charming house, and attentive host. I booked this place for a night over Memorial Day weekend and had a great time exploring the Harper’s Ferry area. It is positioned at the top of a hill with the town a short walk down below. Everything you need is walkable from the house, including hiking trails, boutique stores, restaurants, and museums. The home itself is older, but full of historic charm and plenty of space for you and your guests. Tony was very helpful and accommodating throughout the process. He has streamlined the check-in process with the home manual he created and everything was very straightforward and easy. Highly recommend this house and the area if you’re like me and wanted to get out of the city and back to the sights and smells of nature. If so, this is the spot!
5/9/2023
Very much enjoyed the stay. Recommend this Air-Bnb for anyone looking to stay in the area. Thank you Tony
5/6/2023
A lovely old house in the center of town . So character filled one almost expected to see the ghost of civil war soldier. We all enjoyed our time there. My kids liked the little ‘nook’ of games, books etc

Great house, stayed one night with 6 of us after a long day of hiking. Worked great for our needs.

Super comfortable house for our stay in Harper’s Ferry. Easy to walk to the historic district. Tony is a great host, always responsive. We are glad to have chosen to stay here and highly recommend the house!
4/15/2023
The location was convenient to the National Historic Park and the cemetery. All was within a short walk but beware, the entire area is very hilly and steep in spots. One of our party had some trouble walking. You get a view of the River from the back porch , which was rickety, so we left the back door open for the view. It is a very peaceful location aside from the train whistle which took some getting used to. The cottage is quaint and has some history so it sure made you feel part of this historic community. The host is most responsive to questions or concerns.
4/6/2023
I stayed at Tony's place with my sister and a friend for a girl's getaway. The cottage is very charming and in a great location in Harper's Ferry, walkable to shops and restaurants, and with a nice view of the town and river. The home was very clean and amenities were as advertised. Tony was very responsive and communicative.
The road leading to the home can be a bit tricky, but having a dedicated parking space was ideal, given that parking in the town is limited. We had a great time, and it is the perfect location for a trip to Harper's Ferry.
4/2/2023
Staying in Tony's home made the trip during our kids' spring break. The location is phenomenal and staying in this historic home, surrounded by historic Harpers Ferry, gave us an appreciation for the town in ways that staying somewhere else simply couldn't have given us. Tony was a great communicator and helped on the one or two things where we needed a little extra help. We're grateful for the experience and will keep these memories for a long time.
3/26/2023
Not much to say. If you want to stay in Harper's Ferry I cannot think of a better place. The location is fantastic and walkable. Getting there is easy and parking is convenient. The house is clean and exactly as described. The owners are available and keep great communication. Would happily stay there again!
3/20/2023
Tony is a fantastic host and I highly recommend!
3/14/2023
My three girlfriends and I stayed here for a weekend away. The four of us fit perfectly in the house and enjoyed our stay. The car we drove basically stayed parked all weekend and we loved walking all over the town and trials. Tony was very responsive and had great recommendations!
2/22/2023
This was a great place to stay! Perfect location for walking to Harper's Ferry attractions and we enjoyed walking around. The back porch has a great view. Check in was super easy. Tony was very responsive when we asked questions.
2/20/2023
Great place with an awesome view! Fitted our needs perfectly for a quick getaway. 10/10. Would go back again.
2/18/2023
Outstanding location in the very heart of Harpers Ferry! Everything is walkable and the hiking is literally steps from your door. We really enjoyed the peaceful location and quiet while also enjoying the beautiful scenery - hiking Maryland Heights Trail and checking out Jefferson's Rock. It was Presidents Day so the Park Service had a special presentation by a retired Park Ranger which was awesome. We walked up to Bolivar Bakery (about .5 miles away) and enjoyed some amazing baked goods for breakfast each morning. Tony is a great host and the space is amazing...will definitely book with him again - super responsive and very friendly.
2/17/2023
The Jefferson Look is less than 0.2 miles. The Balcony view from the cottage is gorgeous! Great place!
2/7/2023
We had a great time and spent a lot more time in the house with the 15F cold front that kept us bundled inside ! we cooked and played games and escaped just to visit the rabbit hole. I do suggest trying to carpool, only two spots come with the rental, we had to park at the river access and pay the 20 fee, which was fine, just didn't plan for the coordination.
1/29/2023
Great experience and have had many stays like this one (simple winter get-away) to compare to. Great town and just enough for a good 2 days. Hiking central!. House was a great location to walk for drink / dinner and coffee. Your parking will be the envy of all out of town visitors.
1/29/2023
If you are looking for a place close to the hiking and shops in Harpers Ferry, you simply cannot bet this location. Its a few steep steps away from all the historic sights and shops. It was
Tony was in constant communication, both in advance, and during our stay. You get to park about two steps form the front door, which is handy. The house had a few games, movies, and books that very much complimented my daughter's interests and the West Virginia, birds, and historic themed decorations were a very nice touch. It has the feeling of an old farmhouse with a few of the needed modernizations. Wi-Fi and Roku worked fine.
Tips:
- Be careful of the step into the bathroom in the main bedroom to avoid stubbing your toe 🙂
- Most of the town will be closed during times of inclement weather.
- Recommend the Rabbit Hole Gastropub for drinks and food, including outdoor seating in a bubble during colder weather.
- Battlegrounds Coffee had great sandwiches and baked goods and a friendly staff.
1/21/2023
My family and I stayed two nights in this charming, old house, and felt cozy and welcomed. The house had everything we needed. Comfortable, pretty bedrooms and some games and books that the kids loved. Great location and very clear instructions. The host was easy to reach and checked in on us a few times to be sure we had what we needed. I’d love to stay here again.
1/20/2023
Cute and quiet. View of the station and the rivers. View of the town as well. All walking distance. If you want peace and quiet and a place to just wind down, this is it. It's like staying in history. Walki g distance from everything.
1/10/2023
Perfect spot - have literally no complaints. Book it!
1/5/2023
Our stay exceeded our expectations. We were visiting Harper's Ferry just after the New Year so it was off season. Tony helped us figure out what would be open and where we could get good meals. The cottage is spacious, spotless and well equipped. It is a beautiful but updated period home. We loved our short stay and hope to be able to return for a longer visit. Would love to spend some time sitting on the beautiful back porch! The location is relation to downtown Harper's Ferry could not be any better. Just a great house for a very good price!
1/2/2023
Such a cute little house in the historic downtown of Harper’s Ferry! We spend the day hiking before checking in to freshen up then went to a winery. Then we were able to easily walk to dinner and to breakfast the following morning. Tony provided us with a guide which we found very helpful. We would def recommend this house to others.
12/29/2022
Harpers Ferry is beautiful and the location of Tony’s home was perfect: lovely views and an easy walk to shops, restaurants, hikes and all of the historic sights… and I loved hearing all the trains go by!
I appreciated the overall aesthetic and coziness of the house - with its comfy beds, well-appointed kitchen, and the thoughtful consideration to basic necessities that were provided (sugar, creamers, basic spices, food wrap, paper products, etc).
It was a great place to relax from the holidays and Tony was a thoughtful, accessible, host!
12/25/2022
Cute little house centrally located in Harpers Ferry. We made a last minute reservation but it was not a problem at all for Tony. Communication was perfect and we enjoyed spending Christmas there!
12/18/2022
This charming little home is exactly as described and Tony is such a gracious host. We felt right at home the moment we walked inside! It's super clean and kept in fantastic condition. It's situated in a nice, quiet area of downtown Harper's Ferry, within walking distance to all attractions and restaurants, making it the perfect location if you're looking for a weekend getaway with your partner or family. Beautiful, historic home, amazing host and excellent location. Highly recommend!

We loved Tony’s cottage! Quaint, cozy, and comfortable.

My family stayed a night in this cabin and it was perfect. Being our trip was so short, the location was ideal to spend as much time in town as we could before we had to head home. Only blocks from downtown, charming cabin and friendly neighbors. The host was very responsive and knowledgeable of the area. Thank you for a great stay!

This cottage is in the perfect location in Harper's Ferry with everything being walking distance! The parking is a bit tight but not unexpected. Our stay was nice, the home was clean, and we had everything we needed. Feels like an authentically historic stay in an historic town.

Great location for being close to all the hikes, walks, history and restaurants in Harper's Ferry. The house is very comfortable, and well furnished and decorated, felt every bit of the cozy mountain home that it is. We really enjoyed the back deck and views, the homey touches, and the shower was perfectly hot with great water pressure after a day of hiking! Definitely a perfect stay for our little get away!
10/23/2022
Tony’s place was perfect for what our group needed. We walked everywhere and never had to drive after arriving. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable. Tony was an excellent communicator. Would recommend to anybody!

Cool old house in Harper's Ferry, the place is very clean
10/17/2022
Great little house! Perfect location and very clean. This house was a great fit for my family! This is an old house so be sure to read the reviews, historical houses have varying quirks. This one's rooms are small, ceilings are low, some spaces feel cramped (primary bathroom), and floors are not level, but that didn't ruin our experience. The only "full" (3/4) bathroom is located within the main bedroom. The layout of this house wouldn't suit larger families, families with teenagers, or couples traveling together. I've read most of the reviews, the positive reviewers and the negative ones are each accurate, so you can trust them and decide for yourself how the pros and cons weigh out for your particular travel plans and who you are traveling with. (We're a family of 5, our kids' ages are 12, 9, and 7. None of us are large or have mobility issues, and I love historical architecture and so can overlook flaws that might really be a problem for others.) I would highly recommend this house to couples or families similar to mine!

Positive:
Incredible location with friendly and helpful neighbors, that allows you to walk to everything in only a few minutes. The house is a very charming and cozy inside. They have a million dollar view from the back balcony of the train tunnel that is unfortunately mostly blocked by the foliage. This would be my one suggestion for improvement, trim the foliage to take advantage of the view. This was our first, but definitely not our last trip to Harpers Ferry and we’ll definitely stay here again when we come back. The host had great communication and the house was spotless when we arrived. Parking is right in front of the house and can accommodate two vehicles. Like some have said, parking is a little tight, but as long as you don’t drive a dually you should be fine!

Nice house within walking distance of a lot of Harpers Ferry sites. Tony was very responsive to any communication and the house was comfortable and convenient.

We had a great stay at this cabin in Harper's Ferry! It's a short 5-10 minute walk from the lower town area which made for a lovely evening stroll shortly after we checked in. The area is hilly and may not be the most accessible terrain for those with walking difficulties or different abilities. (But that's just the area and no fault of the owners!) The cabin itself was wonderfully quaint. The space was clean and cozy. We loved sitting out on the back porch. The only complaint we had was that we wish we had more time off and could've stayed longer!
10/10/2022
My son, granddaughter and I stayed for an amazing weekend. Tony’s place is superb. Very clean, cozy, and feels like a true home away from
Home. Great communication and the location is PERFECT!
There is only one full bath with access only from the master bedroom (the other is a 1/2 bath downstairs) so it may get a little busy for larger groups. But it was a truly wonderful stay for our little family.
We hope to return again!

This place was wonderful! It was in walking distance to everything. Tony was very communicative. My dad is a bird guy and absolutely loved the decor. Would love to come back and stay there again!
10/1/2022
I loved the house. Old but cozy. Very close to the main town area. While the trains do run frequently, I slept through most of them. Reminded me of my grandparents house in Ohio next to the railroad.

We totally dug this place. So cool on many levels. History. Comfort. Convenience. Location. Beds were comfy. The kitchen was stocked nicely with stuff. We could walk to places eat, shop and see history. Off street parking was nice. Internet worked well. Tony was super responsive and proactive. No complaints at all! It was a great stay!

Lovely historic house in great location in Harpers Ferry. Very close to the center but also very quiet neighborhood. Great communicator - any queries we had were answered and resolved within minutes. Would recommend anyone visiting this area to stay in this house. Many thanks

If you plan to stay longer, no washing machine on site.

Everything was great,!

Very nice small house sooo close to everything there is to see and do in quaint Harpers Ferry lower town. (Maybe a little too close for light sleepers as the train line is very active!). House was clean and pleasant, it got a little tight with four of us from 17 to senior citizen in the place; it is not palatial but built to 1800s typical smaller standards. We enjoyed our stay.
7/24/2022
Beautiful home in Harper's Ferry..
7/24/2022
This is the perfect place to stay if you're visiting Harper's Ferry or the surrounding area. You are within walking distance to everythiing in downtown Harper's Ferry. We were surprised to arrive to whitetail deer grazing the yard within 10 feet of the house that weren't scared off when they saw us. It was a common occurance during out stay to always have the deer right in the yard like pets...it was really neat! The house was perfect for us and I have no complaints at all. I especially like the good water pressure in the shower. Thanks for sharing your home, I hope to stay again!
7/21/2022
We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return! Tony was the perfect host. The check-in was easy; Tony kindly let us arrive an hour earlier at no extra charge. The accommodations, including a nicely stocked kitchen, were just what we needed. The location was delightful and the views breathtaking. We could easily walk to exhibits & restaurants (The Rabbit Hole and Battle Grounds Bakery and Coffee hit the spot). An entrance to the Appalachian Trail was just a couple hundred feet from our front door. The staircase to the second floor (where the bedrooms are) is a bit steep. One of the two upstairs bedrooms doesn't have access to a bathroom apart from the one located in the other bedroom, but there is a half bath downstairs. The layout may not work for everybody, but it worked just fine for us. We'll be back!

Tony has fantastic communication. The house was very clean and well stocked. Great location for downtown Harpers Ferry and close to other activities. Tony leaves a list of suggestions for activities and restaurants that was very helpful! Great house!!!!

My wife and I rented this place to celebrate our 10th year anniversary. Great setting and great historic home.
6/30/2022
Quaint old home very central to the historic area of Harpers Ferry. A 500 foot walk down the street takes you past historic ruins, St Peter's church, the appalachian trail staircase, and numerous NHP buildings. This is extremely important as parking for the historic area is often more than a very hilly 1/2 mile away. The views from the back porch are stunning.
The home does show its 200 years in some ways. There are plenty of sloping floors, crooked door frames, and interior doors that don't close all the way. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, the AC works well, and there is plenty of comfortable furniture.
The layout description is a little misleading. There is a very small half bath off of the kitchen, and a small 3/4 bath (shower, no tub) off of the master bedroom upstairs. There is a master bedroom with its own access to the hall, but the other 2 "bedrooms" are really 1 bedroom with a forechamber that has to be passed though to get to the real bedroom.
The parking spot is so narrow that passengers have to get out of your car before you finish parking. Historic narrow streets...
If you want to immerse yourself in history, this is a wonderful, quirky, old home in the center of everything. If you want a large luxurious home, look elsewhere.

We loved that this place is Iocated in the historic Harper’s Ferry town. Being close to everything is so fun.

Beautifully maintained antique cottage with lovely hosts! We really enjoyed our stay. There is a wonderful back porch too that looks onto a pretty green area and we could hear a train in the distance! Hosts were very responsive and kind. We would stay there again! (One note - Harpers Ferry is built on a steep hillside so be prepared for narrow roads.)
6/5/2022
Great cottage! Great experience!
6/3/2022
The house was very cool and old (my favorite!) but was kept up quite well. Everything we needed was available. It included two street parking spots and is just a walk to town.
Tony was super communicative and was very helpful throughout our stay. I think it’ll be my go to for Harper’s Ferry stays!

Great location. The title is very misleading. The cottage only has 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. Title shows 3 and 2. Does have enough beds

The beds were great.
Cute furnishings
Negative:
There were some issues in the bathroom that needed fixing.
It's not ideal parking.
I felt it was overpriced.
And 10 am check out is too early.

Positive:
The location is excellent. Close enough to walk to the coffee shop but far enough away to feel residential. We enjoyed watching the trains cross the river. The interior of the house is welcoming and homey.
Negative:
The house is showing its age on the outside in a few places.
4/23/2022
Was an awesome place close to everything. Tony was awesome to deal with. Only downfall was the road is very small and the parking is tight. The house is made for 4 guests instead of 7 unless you use the pullout sofa and the pullout chair. Really is a 2 bedroom. My fault i did not read correctly. For that money i definitely would want 3 actual bedrooms. Overall was a great weekend trip.

The house has everything one needs to settle in to explore & experience the history of Harpers Ferry. Everything you need to make yourself at home is provided and the space is very comfortable. Parking is tight but when you visit, you will notice that most every street is narrow and everyone can manage accordingly. The location of this home is perfect for walking just about everywhere you'd want to visit within the town of Harpers Ferry. Our three kids loved that they didn't have to get in & out of the car to go everywhere. Overall the experience was a good one! Tony was amazing at communicating as well as making local recommendations. We also recommend a history and ghost tour for the evening. Ghost Tours of Harpers Ferry provided a great tour of some of the most "haunted" buildings & areas around town while providing a wonderful history lesson of the area through storytelling.
Side note about visiting before May....The town itself was not fully open. Restaurants were slim and most things closed by 5pm. The places that were open were wonderful. Just plan ahead by checking what the restaurant schedules are as well all battlefield days/hours, day excursions such as the Potomac Eagle train, etc.

Location is great with great communication from the host. Roads are narrow leading to it and parking is tight, but the location can’t be beat.

Positive:
Location in Harper's Ferry was great. Instructions for parking clear and room for two cars. Very comfortable and all needed equipment, kitchen tools and supplies were there.
Negative:
We understand that there were likely some issues that prompted use of air fresheners, but the strong freshener odor was overwhelming. We unplugged the electric ones. It was not a problem for us, but explaining that it's really 1 full bath ensuite with one of the bedrooms and 1 half bath would help viewers.

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to immerse yourself in the history of Harpers Ferry.

The location of the cottage is ideal. Walking around Harper's Ferry is a magical experience, and this place provides fantastic access, including the benefit of parking! The cottage itself was charming and well-equipped. We had everything we needed for our family stay...even some legos to entertain the kiddos. Communication was quick and easy. We would recommend this place for a small group looking to stay in Harper's Ferry.

Waverly Cottage is comfortable and charming. The kitchen is well stocked. The bed was so comfortable!
Tony’s communication is top notch. Fast responses and good tips on having an easy stay.
Restaurants are within short walking distance and Harper’s Ferry was cool to visit off season.

We had such a fabulous stay in harpers ferry. The location was perfect. The space was so clean, and we could not believe how comfortable all the beds were including the pull out sofa beds. It accommodated our group of six women well.
The place was very well appointed.
Excellent communication too! We would definitely come stay again.

This historic house is situated right inside the hilly downtown of Harper's Ferry. It's walkable (or maybe hikable considering those hills) to cafes, the historic area, and several hiking trails.
2/12/2022
We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean and Tony was very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
2/6/2022
Awesome location, you can walk to everything from the house. Parking seems like it can be tough in Harpers Ferry, so having a place so close to everything with parking is huge. Just don't plan to bring an extra large vehicle, the spot in front of the house is tight. We have a mid sized pick up and we were fine, but anything bigger could get tricky.
2/1/2022
A great place to stay! We enjoyed our time immesnsely. Tony was very good with communication, and the cabin was exactly as described. We hope to come back sometime for a longer stay.

We had a great stay…location is a perfect base for all things in the area. Fun, hilly 5-minute walk to restaurants, shops and historic sites. Communication was excellent and Tony was quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. We would stay again for sure!
