One of the nicest Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed in! The house was spotless, homey, and so charming—we instantly felt at ease and comfortable. It was also just a quick drive to all the activities, and Ray and Sam gave us such great recommendations that really made our trip even better. The kitchen had absolutely everything we could need, the outdoor space and fire pit made for perfect evenings, and the thoughtful touches for kids of all ages went above and beyond. Ray and Sam were such wonderful hosts and truly thought of everything to make our stay special. We left feeling so grateful and would love to come back again!

This was our best ABnB stay! Ray and Sam are amazing hosts, friendly, responsive and give the little extra to make the stay special. The house is perfect, clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We love the backyard! The deck with outdoor table and couch was perfect for hanging out and we had an awesome evening relaxing by the fire pit for a weenie roast and s'mores. The location is close to all sorts of local attractions, yet private and peaceful. The check out was super easy with no clean up requirements. We will definitely stay here if we are back in the area. Book it! You will not regret it!

I'm actually upset that I can only give 5 stars! Ray and Sam were the perfect hosts and this property was the perfect place for my family. The house was immaculate, beautifully decorated and arranged. Every detail was considerately handled and provided. We were checking in after a nightmare experience with another property from another platform, and our stress level was in the stratosphere. Within seconds of entering the Mountain View Cottage, I literally felt my shoulders and neck relaxing and releasing the stress as it was evident that we were in for a peaceful, lovely stay in this peaceful and lovely home. We were just a couple of minutes from everything we planned to do: river tubing, Harper's Ferry park and town, ice cream, shopping, etc. Sitting out on the deck or in the outdoor seating area, watching the deer graze and play just feet away from us was magical. The beds were heavenly, showers were perfect, grilling and cooking in this house was a pleasure. Stay here!

We enjoyed a family reunion at this Air BNB. Location was perfect, 10 mins from the Harper’s ferry historic town. The hosts were very responsive and we appreciated their primary focus on us being comfortable and having a good time. We did not have to stress about cleaning prior to check out. The place was pristine and well maintained. The back yard was very cute. The house was well stocked. We will come back to this air bnb in the future.

Expect to be wowed on the drive to our home, from river views as you ascend the mountain to the Appalachian trail entrance and even a natural water spring. Our home is detached and off a paved main. The road directly in front of the house is an unpaved gravel road and can be dusty in the summer months. Parking is free in the driveway for up to 6 cars! We recommend traveling here in a 4WD or AWD vehicle during the winter months when heavy snow or inclement weather is predicted.
