Perfect place to relax and be in nature

Our stay here was very pleasant and relaxing. The house was plenty big with lots of space for my friends and I. We grilled a couple of times, used the hot tub, and were able to walk to a lake nearby (14 mins walking). We also enjoyed the overall location of the house and its surroundings of just trees. We had a minor inconvenience with the water, but Whitney quickly took care of it and the issue was resolved promptly. Overall, I’d stay here again and would recommend it to large groups.

Spacious, beautiful place!

We really enjoyed our stay, the four bedrooms gave us lots of space. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the balcony, too. Very close to lots of fun wineries and Harper’s Ferry. Quiet location on a road with other houses. I’d recommend bringing extra towels and a few wine glasses if you’re drinking nice wine. Lots of thoughtful touches — games, fireplace, spacious kitchen. It was great!

Quiet & Comfy

Overall, this is a great property. The beds are incredibly comfortable and there’s plenty of space. There were a few accoutrements we expected that weren’t there but nothing critical. The property doesn’t get much sunlight given it’s setting among dense trees, so that’s great for sleeping but just know there isn’t a lot of sunshine to enjoy on the deck or throughout the house. Communication with the property manager was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay.
