From check in to check out easy breezy. Stay Monday-Friday had late check out so we could enjoy a few more moments of serenity. Place was amazing and host was accommodating. Enjoyed the woodsy atmosphere. Weather perfect for us. Went to Antietam National Park visited Harper’s Ferry. Got take out at Paddy’s on our way back from Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia which was amazing. Can’t wait to come back for a second stay.

Potomac - C&O Towpath
Wonderful location near small towns, civil war battlefield, and the C&O Towpath for biking. A charming cottage with an amazing screened in porch.

Wonderful screened in porch and house !
We're loved the layout of the house and the screened in porch! So isolated and quiet! Access to the towpath was wonderful! Definitely a place we would visit again!!!

Rainy days are for front porch sitting
My cousin and I planned this trip so that we could do some biking on the C & O Canal Towpath. We loved that the host provided bikes for our use and were able to hit the trail for a bit in spite of a rainy weekend. The location of the property was ideal for this. We also found several wineries in close proximity and added those to our itinerary since we were not able to bike as much as we would have liked to. The house was very cute and clean and had everything that we needed during our stay. Our favorite part of the house was definitely the front porch where we played card games and listened to the rain. The host was very responsive anytime that we had questions. Five stars!

Relaxing get away
Great spot to decompress and relax. Home is well appointed and wonderfully remodeled. Great to be near amazing history, charming towns, and great access to the towpath and other outdoor activities. Perfect spot to relax on a porch and listen to the birds and trees. The host is super responsive and very kind. Would love to stay again if my travels bring me back this way.

Perfect Retreat
This small cottage is so comfortable and well appointed. Directly across from the C&O Canal Towpath; it only takes a few minutes to get on the path. Although there is a lot that you can do in the area, we were in need of respite, so other than taking multiple walks a day, we enjoyed time on the expansive screened-in porch, looking out at the beautiful scenery and listening and watching the birds.We also enjoyed making meals in the kitchen and using the outside grill for bacon to burgers. We slept very well on the very comfortable king size bed. Serena is a great host as she readily replied whenever contacted. We are definitely planning to return. It would be so much fun to tube down the river.

Peaceful Perch
This lovely and well-appointed/furnished and immaculately clean property sits high above the close-by C&O trail and Potomac River, minutes away from the lovely town of Shepherdstown - perfect for a quiet, relaxing get away.
