About this property

RIVERKEEPER INN, Waterfront Property on the Potomac River

Cozy, quiet Potomac River location. Come and play on the river. Kayak, canoe, swim, water ski, tube, float, paddle board, or fish. The sleeping quarters is a newly renovated detached garage converted into 2 level guest house. The cottage sits behind the main house, it's about 75 feet from the waterfront lot. Located near Historic Harper's Ferry. This lovely guesthouse has wonderful views any season, any time of day. Enjoy an evening cocktail and watch the sun go down over the Blue Ridge Mountains then view the stars from your private waterfront deck. Have your morning coffee on the secluded back deck where you may spot a grazing deer. Laze on the hammock and picnic in the shaded back yard. Fish for smallmouth bass or enjoy a good book on your dock. Use the boat ramp to launch your boat or jet-ski. Go for a hike, bike ride, or horseback ride on the C&O Canal tow path located directly across the river. Relax in the natural water "spa" amongst the rocks. Shop in quaint nearby Shepherdstown where you'll find coffee shops and excellent dining. Watch thoroughbred horse racing or play the slots at Charlestown Races and Casino. Visit museums, explore history, or enjoy local festivals and farmers markets. Play volleyball or soccer on the large grassy field. Go whitewater rafting or enjoy the zipline nearby. Sip wine at numerous local vineyards. Several. Breweries nearby. See for yourself and experience the fun of Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Centrally located near Historic Winchester, Frederick, Hagerstown, Berkley Springs, and Martinsburg. Each about a 30 minute drive.

About the host

Hosted by William Werzyn

Host profile image
Robin and I grew up in Johnstown, PA. We always had a dream of living on the water. We got lucky when we found this gorgeous place. Well not when we bought it, a concrete rambler that was a mess. You could not see the river from the house. We completely rebuilt the main house in 2008 adding the ultimate master bedroom. We added the Cottage in 2005, for family, friends and guests. It has been a labor of love. We have lived here since 2003. We tell everyone that we live on vacation. We would love to share our little piece of paradise with you.
