Summary: Four of us stayed in the Riverside Cottage for four nights and loved it! Our host, Scott, was so attentive and prompt in answering our questions or requests, we felt pampered. But we never felt that he was intruding on our privacy, and we actually never met him face to face. We biked, kayaked, fished, played cornhole down by the edge of the Potomac, and hiked into Harper's Ferry. It was a great time!

Summary: Great little cottage situated at a gorgeous location overlooking the Patomic. Great location for exploring Harper’s Ferry and the surrounding area. Amenities were great and the rooms were comfortable. Check-in and check-out were very easy and the owner was readily when needed but gave us plenty of space. We hope to come back someday and stay longer!

Summary: The cottage was very nice and clean. Our plan was to fish since it was advertised as private river access. When I see private river access, I think a dock or at least bank access. We soon found out that the only access was the boat launch. We had 2 teenagers with us who were looking forward to fishing, but there really wasn't much room to fish at the boat launch. The owner did some research and let us know some places near by we could fish, which was very nice. It was just disappointing to find out we couldn't fish from the property we rented. It was very close to Harpers Ferry National Park which was convenient. Overall, we made the best of it. The house had what we needed and the gas grill was utilized daily, which was great. The owners were easy to communicate with. The beds were also comfortable. If you are looking for a place to stay near Harpers Ferry and all it has to offer, then I recommend this cottage. It just wasn't an ideal fishing location.

Summary: Property has limited views of the Potomac. The house itself was in good condition and the host paid a lot t of attention to small details. The property itself is about a 15 minute drive to historic Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown. Guests should be aware that parking for large vehicles can be a challenge but is doable. This is due to the design of the driveway and vehicles parked on neighboring properties, which is beyond the host's control.The only complaint we had were the beds. They were some of the most uncomfortable we have every slept in.
