Robert L., Jonesboro, Maine, USA

Liked: Cleanliness
Wonderful house, with porches overlooking the river, adjacent to the Tow Path walking and biking trail, and within walking distance of Harpers Ferry. Kitchen was well stocked, house was very clean, and bedrooms worked well for our 4 couples (with one bedroom to spare). Michael was always very quick to respond to any questions or issues we raised, and he provided useful info about the area and things to do. Driveway would be tight for 4 cars, as Michael had forewarned us (we had just 3 cars), and backing onto the street when leaving was a bit challenging. (We positioned a person at street-side to watch for any oncoming traffic.)

Great host communication-one of the nicest properties we have stayed in. Very clean home and comfortable beds. Gorgeous river views and very peaceful, quiet area. We were visiting for a wedding and the location was perfect; close to groceries,bakeries and restaurants. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We had such a good time staying here. The house was spacious, super clean and well taken care of, but what really makes this house stand out is that on every level there are stunning views of the river. It's within easy drive of Frederick, Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry. We hiked to HF with no problem, and hung out at the Harpers Ferry Brewery in the evening (which is 5 minutes down the road). On top of all that the host, Mike, is incredibly responsive. Whether it was a quesiton about the house or recommendations of where to eat in the area, he responded almost immediately. This place is an example of what a great VRBO experience should be like. We will deifintely be back.

What can I say—we love staying at this house and cannot wait to come back. This was our third stay and I believe I said this in my last review with our last stay-but we are so sad when we have to leave. The house is wonderful – it has a great design where everyone can spread out, it has everything you need, it’s very comfortable, very clean, and it’s thoughtfully decorated. The views out of all three floors of the front of the house are incredible. If you like hiking or beautiful walks along the river – you can just head right across the street and down the towpath, across the railroad tracks right to the Appalachian Trail. It’s a lovely walk into Harpers Ferry. There are great places to eat nearby-we usually get pizza from the Pizza and Wing Shack in Brunswick. We also go to The Rabbit Hole and The Coach House. There is a fantastic New Mexican restaurant around the corner from the house and a brewery across the river. This house and the surrounding area are one of our favorite places to visit. Also, communication with the host (Michael) is top notch-he is very responsive and invested in providing a great trip and experience!

Property was awesome, exactly as how it’s described. Kitchen is fully stacked such that I was able to make desserts for my daughter’s wedding. Had groceries delivered and made breakfast instead of going out. Multiple bathrooms made it easier to get everyone ready at the same time. Michael was VERY responsive and helpful with all my questions. He suggested places to go, etc. but unfortunately we did not have the time. Wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Michael!

Perfect in every way.

We were nine women ranging in age from 79 to 81. We loved the house. We could be spread out when we slept and gather in two large spaces on the second and third floors. Most important to us was the attitude and friendliness of the host. Thank you for perfectly perfect time.
