The cottage is perfect. It feels like you are stepping into someone’s immaculately decorated guest house for the weekend. It is within walking distance to everything in Harper’s Ferry but if you wanted to skip it all this would be the house to do nothing in. A beautiful front porch, woods and a meadow to look at with deer and groundhogs making daily appearances. Or if you wanted to hike the AT, it’s less than 100 yards away. The Carrot Top Cottage was a dream spot for our family of 5 and our kids were so bummed to go home.
