Enchanting Cottage, Center of Historic Downtown!

Summary:
Waverly Cottage is an elegant 1840s Victorian with its own delightful history -- right in the heart of Historic Downtown! The perfect location for your Harpers Ferry stay.

The highlights:
- Walk just steps to all of the highlights in Harpers Ferry (we’re surrounded by the National Park!)
- Relax with a glass of wine on the private front or back porches
- Curl up with a book in the sunny sitting room
- Stream movies or take video calls on the fastest WiFi you can get

Enjoy!

The Space:
Our cozy retreat has all the comforts of home, nestled right in the center of Historic Harpers Ferry. Waverly Cottage is ideal for couples, families, or small groups of friends -- and is the perfect home base for your getaway!

The cottage includes:
- 2 bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with two twin beds
- 1 full bathroom and the second one is a half bath.
- Two additional pull-out beds, one in the living room (queen) and the other in the sitting room (twin)
- Cute front porch with a bench -- perfect for people watching :)
- Large elevated back porch with two comfy chairs and a bench to relax with a glass of wine
- Fully-stocked kitchen with a stove/oven and microwave
- Central AC and heat to keep you comfortable
- SmartTV with access to all your favorite streaming services
- Fast, reliable WiFi that’s more than enough to stream movies and hold video calls

We often take our two little kids to the cottage, so we're very family-friendly. Unfortunately, we don't allow any dogs or cats in the cottage.

One of the best aspects of Waverly Cottage is the location. We’re surrounded by the boundaries of the National Park (it’s across the street) and literally steps from all of the major sites in Harpers Ferry (less ¼ mile from John Brown’s Fort). We’re also just a short 5 minute walk from the Appalachian Trail.

Beyond Historic Harpers Ferry, we love how close to everything we are! Fantastic hiking trails, kayaking and tubing on the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, and dozens of amazing little shops, restaurants, and wineries -- all within a 20 minute drive.

We only have 1 parking pass available for now. We hope to have a 2nd parking pass available soon. If you need more than 1, please ask us about it.

Enjoyable Get-Away
My partner and I had a wonderful weekend in Harpers Ferry. The cottage was in the center of everything…and we especially enjoyed being able to walk to Mass at the beautiful, historic St. Peter’s.

In the heart of town.
This historic house right off the main streets of Harper’s Ferry makes you feel that you are right in the middle of the history of the town. The host was extremely attentive, and the home was definitely charming. I would stay here again.

Great location. The loose rocks in the entrance are a trip hazard. None of the upstairs doors shut so no privacy. But the kitchen amenities were great. Definitely not handicap accessible.

Adorable Historic Home
We had the pleasure of staying at this property over a long holiday weekend and were delighted by the house. It is so charming and filled with special historic touches, but still has all the modern updates and amenities. And the location cannot be beat. You can park your car and not move it the entire weekend as downtown is a mere 5-minute walk away. Hiking trails are also all easily accessible by foot, as are all the local shops and restaurants. The owners were also very responsive, and even though we had zero issues during our stay, I'm sure they would have responded right away if there was anything amiss.

The property was only a 5 min walk to Jefferson stone on the Appalachian trail. Unique home. A few maintenance things but we saw a lot of deer in the yard and overall wonderful, relaxing stay.

I loved this old house and the town. It worked great for me and my four grown kids The imperfections of the house due to age just made me appreciate it more.

Ambiance in this historic cottage
Excellent location in the historic district of Harpers Ferry. Easy (but steep) walk from the cottage to the waterfront. The cottage is well-equipped. The floor plan worked for our group of three adults. There is one full bathroom which is ensuite with the primary bedroom. The half-bath is downstairs off of the kitchen. So, it took a little accommodation to share the full bathroom, but we managed well during our three-night stay. The kitchen is well-equipped. Parking is street side on a narrow lane. But, included parking in that part of a historic town is quite a plus. Tony was a helpful and responsive host.

Too short of a stay
Family is looking forwarded to a longer stay in the future. Great get away from the city rat race. Loved being able to walk everywhere insteading of driving. First VRBO experience but so much easier than dealing with hotels.

Perfect location
The pretty Victorian home was just as described and located in the perfect spot for touring Harpers Ferry. The host was very responsive to all our needs. It was a lovely visit for me and my 89 year old Dad.

Superb Gem in Harper's Ferry
Probably the best possible location in the Harper's Ferry area. The cottage was wonderful, very quaint and comfortable. It's location is perfect, nestled in the woods and, as described, only walking minutes from the Harper's Ferry sights. A day did not go by that we did not see wildlife in the back or front of the house. Tony was the best host we've had in VRBO.
