Quaint Mini Cottage in Shepherdstown - Walking Distance

Newly renovated, this 1-bedroom getaway combines historic charm with modern comfort. The cottage features a welcoming living room with a queen pull-out sofa bed, a full kitchenette for easy meals, and a full bathroom — along with heating, AC, and WiFi — ensuring guests have everything they need for a relaxing stay.
Enjoy free parking for up to two cars and take a scenic 8-minute walk into historic Shepherdstown to explore its shops, dining, and culture. The town is also home to unique experiences like ghost tours, which bring local history to life in a fun and memorable way. Harpers Ferry is just a short drive away for even more exploring.
Upstairs, you’ll find the main bedroom with a trundle day bed for additional sleeping space. Please note: the upstairs has a loft-style layout with low ceilings, giving it a cozy and intimate feel. Adults will need to stoop when moving around, but once settled in, the space makes for a comfortable night’s sleep. Guests who prefer more spacious layouts or who have mobility considerations may wish to keep this in mind or use the sofa-bed.
A shared outdoor space is also available, complete with a small grill and utensils for easy outdoor dining.
Kick back, relax, and enjoy your Shepherdstown getaway in this charming mini cottage!

Perfect little cottage experience

Great, easy to find location. Nancy was a great communicator A wonderful option for us, as we were in the area for a wedding in Sharpsburg where overnight accommodations were a bit slim. Shepherdstown was a cute town with lots of cute local shops and places to eat. Would stay here again!

Great little cottage in a beautiful town

Everything went super smoothly. Nancy is an excellent communicator. It’s only a 10 minute walk to the main strip and that walk is through a beautiful neighborhood with friendly folks all around. 10/10 would stay again.

Upstairs Hobbit House - Not Really Habitable

It is clear that the owners spent a lot of money fixing up the "cottage" to make it a rental. The mini-splits on both levels work very well. The downstairs is comfortable and well -designed, and the kitchen is functional. The owner communicated well throughout our stay. The description says that the "upstairs loft style has a short ceiling," but that wins the understatement of the year award. The upstairs is basically an attic that has been converted into "bedroom" space. The ceilings are absurdly low. They are A-frame ceilings with a small central row and angled sides. The ceiling in the area with the day bed is 5' 10" at its highest, central point, and the ceiling slopes at an angle downward from there. The walkway into the bedroom area was even lower. You have to bend down to walk through to the bedroom. The A-frame ceiling in the bedroom was lower than the outer room. My wife is 5'7", and she couldn't stand up in the bedroom. I couldn't sit on the side of the bed without hitting my head on the sloped part of the ceiling. To get up off the bed, you had to move to the middle and slide forward so as not to hit your head against the sloping ceiling. There is very little circulation to that corner bedroom, so it felt exactly like sleeping in an attic.This rental might work for a family with young kids (under 5 years of age), *if* the parents slept on the sleeper sofa downstairs and the kids slept in the converted attic. Otherwise, this does not work.
