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!

A great stay in the middle of Harper's Ferry!
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.

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.

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!

Great home in great location!
Everything was as advertised. Instructions were super clear. If you want to be in the heart of Harpers Ferry, check out the sights, and hear the trains pass by, this is for you! We loved the location and convenience. Parking is not on-site (one street away), but convenient given the location
