Why they chose this property

We are the second owners of this property since Harpers Ferry was incorporated! It was in my great-aunts family for well over 100 years. We feel very fortunate and take great care for the next lucky owners. We think you'll enjoy the location, too!

What makes this property unique

Take a moment to enjoy the western sky at night . . . from the comfort of the bed! There's a lovely view of the twinkling stars on clear nights.
