Birthday Gift
My wife gave me this trip as a birthday gift (birthday November 7) for my 80th birthday. We walked from the cottage to the town each day which truly proves I am still in shape (lol). We enjoyed our walks, the cleanliness and comfort of the cottage, and the food.

My wife and I had a fantastic time. Very warm and cozy cottage. Walking distance to everything, but tucked away enough to enjoy your privacy. Would definitely stay with them again.

Quaint, private, quiet, romantic. Had a warm, romantic feeling. It’s just the right amount of space with a great couch and comfortable bed for two. There is a common area with a fire pit, which was delightful. We had deer In our backyard in the evenings and several other wildlife. It would have been perfect if we had access to a grill. Excellent communication with the owners! The town shuts down early in the evening limiting dinner choices. However 15 minutes away there is access to numerous restaurants. The location is amazing to the old town of Harpers Ferry. The accommodations had updated Tv and charging stations. Definitely would love to stay there again!!

Wonderful Cottage
Clean, was perfect for me and my Husband. A little of everything we needed for our stay. I would however, like the tall bush by the entrance door trimmed away a little better. Not much room to step down and turn to open the door and carry luggage. Over all, beautiful location and cottage.

Cozy place!
I was looking for a B&B close to my sister's house in Harpers Ferry, and was overjoyed to find something available just steps away from her! The Carriage House had just what we needed to meet our basic needs of sleep & shower, and the room was nicely decorated with thoughtful extras.

Quiet cottage on the Ridge
The cottage was exactly as described and better. Though the property was small, every need was met. The location was outstanding...just yards from the Appalachian Trail with stunning view of the Shanendoah River and accessible to upper and lower Harpers Ferry. I was on foot throughout my stay and found this site challenging yet ideal with access to the cottage's ridge location via neighborhood streets, trails, and hillside stairs,...all beautiful and filled with history. I hope to return again soon.

Sweet spot for a relaxing mini-moon
A great little room for my new husband and I to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and wedding planning. Perfect location, backs right up the the Appalachian trail. I wish there were a few hooks on the walls to hang more things, but if that's the only complaint I have, we had an amazing time.

Snug stay
Creative conversion of garage into a bedroom with bath. Not much external light or room to move around. Single sink for hybrid bathroom-kitchen arrangement. Charming table for two immediately outside the front door for a meal in favorable weather. Short, hilly walk to all of the attractions so you can leave your car and avoid parking hassles near the historic part of town.

Harpers Ferry Serene
The Carriage House was a perfect spot for exploring Harpers Ferry and the surrounding area. It was very comfortable, and the outdoor sitting area was serene. Loved being able to walk downtown. Greatly enjoyed seeing deer around the property in the evenings.
