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

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

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

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

This truly is a one-of-a-kind house in an amazing location. OH...It also comes with a parking space (a HUGE bonus in Harpers Ferry!!). Please note that the parking space is located on Potomac Street, and you must climb 65 steps up to High Street where the house is located. Luggage drop-off is permitted any time except Saturday and Sunday between 11AM and 5PM. Also, please note that the stairs in this house are very steep! Please keep this in mind if you have trouble with stairs!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying in Harper's Ferry. It is a beautiful historic town with many sights to see. This house made it very convenient to have quick access to everything. It was especially useful for time management. We were able to complete our full itinerary that we had planned in advance.

Fall Getaway
This property could not have been more quaint and peaceful. My husband, two dogs and I enjoyed the long weekend, walking the trails and taking in the history of Harper’s Ferry. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. The location could not be better for seeing the town on foot. The property was clean and so neatly appointed. Breathtaking views!

Bring Earplugs
If you are a lite sleeper, this property may not be for you. There's a train station about 300 feet from the property with cargo and commuter trains running around the clock. Sounds from the squeaky breaks and train horns reverberate through the residence. Other than that, the property is okay. It could use some maintenance though. The water on/off valves in the shower just spin, so it's hard to get a good temperature and even harder to figure out how to shut the water off. The doors to both bathrooms stick and have to be manhandled to open/close. And the door to the bedroom closest to the upstairs bathroom won't completely close at all. I liked the location, but I really didn't like the noise.

Great Location w/ Taste of History
Very cool to stay in the historic district! Awesome to sit on the porch on a busy afternoon & watch people go by and then have the town all to ourselves when the day-trippers leave! And I loved the big, comfy couch in the upstairs TV room! When deciding whether or not to stay here, you must keep in mind that the house is old and shows it.

Staying in the house is like going back in time to live in the center of old Harper's Ferry, but with all the amenities you'd expect. A very fun place to stay, the porch over High Street alone is worth staying for.

Fantastic place to stay in historic Harper's Ferry
This is an excellent place to stay to experience Harper's Ferry. The historic section of the town, closest to the rivers is very small and has very few places to stay. This house is right in the midst of it with a great view overlooking the historic streets. The house itself is old, but well kept and clean. It feels as though you are part of the history during your stay. Bars and restaurants, although there are not too many right in town are within easy walking distance. The National Park itself is equally close, as are the rivers and walking trails. Having a parking space in Harper's Ferry is an amazing benefit, it is down the hill as described in the listing, but it really made the stay easy.

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

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