    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."

    The expansive upper level deck provides spacious opportunities to dine, grill, and relax with a wonderful sunset view in the evenings. There is a bonfire area with Adirondack chairs, offering a great spot for sunset and stargazing views. The space under the house provides an all-weather hangout area with extra-long picnic tables, a ping pong table, TV with YouTube TV and Netflix, dart board, and putting green.

If you’re visiting Harper’s Ferry and not staying here you’re making a mistake. The property is immaculate, the view is spectacular and the design and details are amazing. The game area underneath the house adds another layer of fun for all ages. Of all the places we’ve stayed in the area this is hands down our favorite. We will definitely be returning.
