The space

With vintage and antique penny postcards, pages of antique newspapers recounting the Civil War, and antique novelty plates decorating the walls, our house strives to give you a real sense of place.

This stone and plaster three-bedroom, two-bath house was built in 1900, but the interior is thoroughly modern and warm and sunny. Situated of a half-acre lot, you will have access to a large green yard, an abundance of highly coveted off-street parking, and a patio dining area.

Other things to note
Wild & wonderful isn’t just a motto here in Harpers Ferry. Bolivar and Harpers Ferry are adjacent to the national park protected wilderness area, and the wildlife hasn’t heard about property lines yet! You may see wild animals on the property during your stay. In the early morning and late afternoon, deer will stroll over from the national park to graze on our grass. Possum and raccoon will roam the alleys looking for a snack. You may even see a snake or two or a big bug. These critters are all part of our ecosystem and we treat them with respect and caution. Like the old adage says, “look but don’t touch,” but our furry friends do make pretty good photo subjects.
Located in Harpers Ferry, this vacation home is in a rural area and near theme parks. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and Nash Farm are local landmarks, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at Vivo Day Spa and Notaviva Vineyards. Traveling with kids? Consider John Brown Wax Museum, or check out an event or a game at Ram Stadium. Kayaking and water tubing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and ecotours nearby.
