Room walkable to Harper's Ferry

Room very clean, our room had side porch. Access to kitchen, top of hill of Harper's Ferry so easy to get street parking and permit provided for parking. Host quick to respond, mostly via text. Very accommodating. This is the second year we stayed and we will go back.

Fit for a King and Queen

Our amazing host Christie warmly welcomed us upon arrival at the lovely, quaint historical home. She provided a tour of the entry level and kitchen area with its many amenities. She took us to our room on the second floor and spoke to the special features of the accommodations. Christie is the consummate host. She is kind, responsive, and resourceful. She makes you feel like a king and queen!

Christie was a wonderful host and gave lots of good information for both myself and my daughter to both do and see. She has the history of the area and the property was both clean and well set up. We enjoyed the veranda and short walk into town. A parking pass was also provided to park right in front of the home. Thank you for a wonderful stay! :)

About the host

Hosted by Christie May

I live around the corner from the Trouvaille House at La Soledad Lavender Farm. I have been a professional artist for many years, and started hosting my first guesthouse during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was such a positive and rewarding experience, that with a partner, I purchased and remodeled the Trouvaille House in 2021. I love meeting my guests and making sure they have the best experience and memories of their visit to Harpers Ferry!

Why they chose this property

A lovely, pre Civil War home, Trouvaille House is right on the Main Street, Washington Street, in historic Harpers Ferry. Just 3/4 of a mile from the convergence of the rivers in lower town and the NHP. Just across the street from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Easily walkable to just about anywhere you want to go. Free parking in front of the house.

What makes this property unique

Even though the house is very old (1830) and historic, it has had a fresh makeover. All the spaces are light and bright. The Parisian Apartment feels like a small apartment in Paris with your own mini fridge and Nespresso coffee in the room. Two separate entrances into the suite are a bonus. The screened porch and private backyard looking into the woods makes you think you are not even in the town!
