The road up to the place was as advertised, bumpy and steep in spots, but no problem with an AWD vehicle. The house felt comfortable, nice couch to lounge on. The kitchen was adequately stocked with items needed for cooking. The fireplace was nice to have to take the chill off at the end of the day. More psychological than anything else for a person who loves sitting by a fire. Close to Harpers Ferry which is what we wanted. The host met us with the keys and showed us around upon arrival.

Love this place

Lovely property, gorgeous view and the host was very kind. The road to get here is a little tricky to drive, especially if you have a non-all-terrain vehicle but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay

You can't beat the mountain top view! The house was very nice and clean. Good cell reception and wifi. Amazing fire pit! Helpful and friendly owners. Getting up the mountain is a little rough, so a truck, Jeep, or SUV is ideal. But it's worth it!! No more than 20 or 30 minutes to every attraction, restaurant, or store. I would live here permanently if I could.

We had the best view ever! The home was clean and we were able to have a fire one night which was great. I will say a vechicle that sits up off the ground is preferred due to the condition of the mountain road, we had an SUV and were glad because of the road condition. It was WONDERFUL!
