Cozy, historic, clean, and provided by the most accommodating and hospitable host I've ever met, Trouvaille will be my go to every time I visit Harper's Ferry! My girlfriend and I were warmly greeted by Christie as we arrived and settled in for our weekend getaway. Christie talked us through the history of the house and some of the nearby structures, gave us pointers for where to go and what to see (including a thoughtful, printed list), and was available to contact if we had any questions. The house is an easy 10-15 minute walk away from lower town. The suite even had homemade lavender bath salts to enjoy a nice soak after a day of hiking (Christie has a lavender farm nearby and makes lovely salts and soaps). The property includes easy street parking right outside too. After tirelessly searching and comparing the available options for our stay, we're very happy we settled on Christie's Trouvaille House and think you will be too.

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

The Trouvaille House was built in 1830, one of the earlier Harpers Ferry homes. The foundation supports utilized decommissioned canal boat beams from the C&O Canal. While the house is very old, since its remodel, it feels very fresh and bright, with lots of artwork, spacious rooms and modern conveniences.

What makes this property unique

The Trouvaille House is conveniently positioned in historic Harpers Ferry on the main street, but up a little from the bottleneck congestion of “lower town”. There is reserved parking in front, and it is an easy walk (3/4 of a mile) to lower town and even closer to the restaurants and attractions in the upper part of town.

While it is in town, the backyard looks out onto woods and is very private and park-like. There you can enjoy grilling and eating outside, or sitting in front of the outdoor fireplace in cozy Adirondack chairs.

Enjoy a long soak in the pedestal tub with the lavender soap and bath salts provided from my lavender farm around the corner!
