Explore hiking trails, shops, wineries, and breweries nearby, then unwind by the fire pit overlooking the river. Perfect for families, couples, and friends - the perfect getaway for any season!
The space GREAT LOCATION: Just 15 minutes from historic downtown Harpers Ferry, the Appalachian trail, C&O canal for biking/walking, breweries, wineries, local shops, parks, museums, a casino, and more!
OUTDOOR SPACE: Enjoy use of the private dock right on the Shenandoah River. The river is about 2 ft deep around the dock area with a gentle flow, and can be greater than 4 ft after continuous rainfall with a much greater flow. Current river conditions can be searched on google with "Shenandoah River conditions Harpers Ferry."
