Relaxing
We really enjoyed our stay at this little house! We came from different areas to hang out, relax and catch up in person. Scott and Margie could not have been better hosts! They were so gracious about letting us borrow a crockpot when I realized I had forgotten mine. The best part was an evening by the fire pit down at the river. Magical.

Harpers Ferry pleasant surprise
We chose, with friends we regularly travel, to go to Harpers Ferry. The cottage we stayed in was superbly clean as well as greatly located with a great view of the Potomac. Both the Ferrry & Shepherdstown are close - less than 10 minutes away. Scott & Margie accommodated us when we locked ourselves out accidentally. Great place, great activities, great hosts. Thursday night jam session at OHurley's Gen Store in Shepherdstown was a wonderful hidden gem. Kitchen was well equipped, we would return.

We loved it!
The cottage was well appointed, comfortable, clean, and very quiet. The location was convenient to not only Harpers Ferry but also Shepherdstown and Chester Town. Sitting on the porch watching the Potomac River flow by -- what an amazing view! -- will definitely be one of our favorite memories of this spring vacation.

Perfect Stay
We only stayed one night on our way to our final destination of Gatlinburg, and it was perfect for us. The cottage was very clean, very comfortable and welcoming. The view from the deck overlooking the river was beautiful. It was very quiet and serene. It’s very close to Harper’s Ferry, which is a must-see. Would definitely book again if we come back in o the area, thank your for your hospitality!

Potomac view cottage stay
Loved our time here. Property was VERY clean and well appointed. Information about the property was well organized and we had no issues. That allowed us to settle in quickly and just enjoy our time. The location was perfect for our hiking activities. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Perfect runaway weekend
This charming little house is a perfect runaway from Montgomery County. The house was clean, bright and comfortable. The view of the river was fantastic, and the fireplace cozy. I highly recommend the Riverside cottage.
