Dirty and grimey nowhere close to VRBO pictures. Ants on the counter and promised parking compromised. Shower curtain full of mold and scum. Donât stay here. Host very sorry but did nothing to help
This place was perfect for our one-night stay in Harpers Ferry. Its location is in easy walking distance of the main sites. The house is old but charming.
Super cute quick weekend trip for me and my partner! We loved the cottage, loved the property, and appreciated the quick walk to the shops and restaurants on high st. Great experience!
Our family of 4 stayed in this historic house which was quaint and perfectly located. Walked to get delicious coffee from Battleground and AMAZING dinner experience at The Rabbit Hole. Beautiful hiking and historic sites just steps from the house.
The cottage was very quaint. Peaceful. Walked to Harper's Ferry. Did some hiking. When into Charles Town to antique shop. Went to the Harper's Ferry Brewery.
We had a wonderful time in Harperâs Ferry and this house worked out well for our group of four. The location was perfect- close to downtown but still very private and tranquil. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials, the air conditioning kept us nice and cool, and the ease of parking right outside the property was very appreciated. The location made it super easy to walk to all of the historical sites, trails and downtown amenities. The home itself has character and is well loved- our favorite part was sitting on the back porch to watch the many animals such as blue jays, robins, deer, cats and groundhogs. The sunsets were absolutely stunning from there as well! It was our first time to Harperâs Ferry and we truly had a blast. I highly recommend visiting the barn for free popcorn, delicious cocktails and electric and talented live music every night! Bolivar bread company, the rabbit hole and prohibition brewery were also great. Thanks so much for an unforgettable stay!
My partner and I had a wonderful weekend in Harpers Ferry. The cottage was in the center of everythingâŠand we especially enjoyed being able to walk to Mass at the beautiful, historic St. Peterâs.
This historic house right off the main streets of Harperâs Ferry makes you feel that you are right in the middle of the history of the town. The host was extremely attentive, and the home was definitely charming. I would stay here again.
Great location. The loose rocks in the entrance are a trip hazard. None of the upstairs doors shut so no privacy. But the kitchen amenities were great. Definitely not handicap accessible.
We had the pleasure of staying at this property over a long holiday weekend and were delighted by the house. It is so charming and filled with special historic touches, but still has all the modern updates and amenities.
And the location cannot be beat. You can park your car and not move it the entire weekend as downtown is a mere 5-minute walk away. Hiking trails are also all easily accessible by foot, as are all the local shops and restaurants.
The owners were also very responsive, and even though we had zero issues during our stay, I'm sure they would have responded right away if there was anything amiss.
The property was only a 5 min walk to Jefferson stone on the Appalachian trail. Unique home. A few maintenance things but we saw a lot of deer in the yard and overall wonderful, relaxing stay.
I loved this old house and the town. It worked great for me and my four grown kids The imperfections of the house due to age just made me appreciate it more.
Excellent location in the historic district of Harpers Ferry. Easy (but steep) walk from the cottage to the waterfront. The cottage is well-equipped.
The floor plan worked for our group of three adults. There is one full bathroom which is ensuite with the primary bedroom. The half-bath is downstairs off of the kitchen. So, it took a little accommodation to share the full bathroom, but we managed well during our three-night stay.
The kitchen is well-equipped. Parking is street side on a narrow lane. But, included parking in that part of a historic town is quite a plus.
Tony was a helpful and responsive host.
Family is looking forwarded to a longer stay in the future. Great get away from the city rat race. Loved being able to walk everywhere insteading of driving. First VRBO experience but so much easier than dealing with hotels.
The pretty Victorian home was just as described and located in the perfect spot for touring Harpers Ferry. The host was very responsive to all our needs. It was a lovely visit for me and my 89 year old Dad.
Probably the best possible location in the Harper's Ferry area. The cottage was wonderful, very quaint and comfortable. It's location is perfect, nestled in the woods and, as described, only walking minutes from the Harper's Ferry sights. A day did not go by that we did not see wildlife in the back or front of the house. Tony was the best host we've had in VRBO.
Lovely historic home that was easy walking distance to attractions and restaurants. The beds were comfortable and the whole home was very well stocked and appointed.
Make sure you read the description of the property carefully. The VRBO specs are incorrect, the written description is more accurate. There are really only 2 bedrooms, both upstairs that share the only full bath, which is an ensuite off the queen bedroom. The second bathroom is a half bath located off the kitchen. The house definitely shows its age on the inside and outside, including very thin walls, sloping floors and door handles that fall off. (We figured out very quickly why there was a screwdriver in the bathroom.) Stability of wifi connection to stream on the TV was not good. Location is nice and walkable for Harper's Ferry. The parking is very tight for large cars. We appreciated Tony checking in and being responsive.
Waverly Cottage - the perfect place to stay in Harpers Ferry
This charming Victorian house has everything. Tony, the host, is great. He does a super job making sure your stay goes smoothly. His house manual is the best I have encountered (precise and helpful). And should you have any questions, he is but a text away.
The house is a gem. Itâs well kept, comfy, cozy, and perfectly situated. Located on a quiet road, it is within walking distance to all that makes Harpers Ferry a wonderful place to visit. The town is rich in natural beauty, interesting historical sites, and excellent hiking opportunities.
I look forward to coming back to Harpers Ferry and staying at Waverly Cottage.
This was a return trip for us, the time before we stayed at the Clarion. It was a treat to be staying right in Harpers Ferry this time and not have to worry about parking. The house was lovely and the property manager was friendly and communicative. We will stay here again!
