As soon as we entered the Carrot Top Cottage, we felt completely at home. The cottage is a perfect mix of cozy charm and modern convenience. We enjoyed cooking several meals in the well-stocked kitchen, relaxed each night with wine on the porch, and also in the comfy living room. Walking distance to downtown area and Appalachian Trail. We would definitely stay again!

We loved this little cottage! We wanted to pick it up and take it home with us. It was extremely well stocked and comfortable. We had rain all day on our last day there, but the cottage was so comfortable, that we just spent most of our day there. It’s very conveniently located. Although the cottage itself is technically surrounded by national park land, we drove to the visitor center and rode the trolley to Lower town. Lower town is amazing! Also, Antietam is only about 30 minutes away. It’s also a great national park.

My family had a great stay at the cottage. It's a short (but steep) walk to town and very convenient to the Appalachian Trail. We had a fun time exploring Harper's Ferry. There were 2 baby deer that visited the yard on multiple occasions. We stayed in July and the AC did a good job of keeping the house cool, it was also convenient having a washer and dryer. Would stay again if we're back in the area!

Great place to stay

Absolutely a great place and location. Our plans completely changed after getting 6” of snow and then a deep freeze, but we were comfortable and were able to prepare all our meals with the equipment and utensils provided. Communication was great, check in easy and no extravagant check out demands. Can’t wait to come back

Wonderful time

We enjoyed this weekend away as we explored the history and adorable shops of Harpers Ferry. We loved being close enough to walk on the Appalachian Trail and into town. We loved seeing the deer off and on the whole time we were there. The home was clean and super cute inside! Thank you for this nice weekend away for our family!

Has everything you need!

The Carrot Top Cottage exceeded our expectations! The house was stocked (minus food), like it would if you lived there. They even had cooking oil, salt/pepper, and plenty of dish towels in the kitchen. Our children enjoyed the upstairs. It's the kind of room I would have lived to have as a kid. We were greeted by deer and groundhogs in the yard. The Appalachian Trail was extremely close and easy to take down into town. Be prepared for a hike back up to the house if you walk to town, but you can do it! The location, supplies, and everything was top notch!
