About this house rental

Nestled in Harpers Ferry, this attractive house for $342 per night is a great option for your next break. Mountainside Lodge is located in the heart of historic downtown Harper's Ferry, and in the middle of Harper's Ferry National Historical Park. Don't be fooled by other vacation rentals and B&B's claiming to be in Harpers Ferry when they are not! This one-of-a-kind vacation rental is located in a 2-1/2 story brick federal-period building built in the 1830's, and renovated in 2004-2005. The house shares the building with a family-style restaurant (Potomac Grille). The house was originally 2 townhouses, and the center walls were removed in the 1970s to create a large open space on the 1st floor. While the house's exterior painting scheme reflects this original configuration and looks like 2 separate units, the vacation rental spans both spaces (see photo). The building was used during the civil war by both Confederate and Union Armies, primarily as an infirmary/hospital, and is a stop on the Harpers Ferry Ghost Tour. The first floor of the house features a large open living room/dining room, a full modern kitchen, 1/2 bath, and a large porch with fantastic mountain and river views and views of Harpers Ferry gap. The inside space features hard-wood floors, exposed brick walls, an exposed beam ceiling (many of the beams are original hand-hewn), and large windows looking onto the mountains and the Potomac River. There is a TV, DVD player, VCR, games and toys, and a 10-seat dining table on the 1st floor. A highchair is available upon request. In addition to modern amenities, the house is decorated in fantastic period antiques. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a laundry room w/ full-sized washer and dryer, and offers views of the Potomac River. The master bedroom has a Queen bed and a comfortable full-size futon (comfortable for 1 adult or 2 children). The second bedroom has a Queen bed, and the 3rd bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed (twin on top; full on bottom). The configuration is ideal for two families (4 adults and up to 5 kids), 2-3 couples, or 6-7 friends! All three bedrooms have TVs and DVD players and comfy sheets, mattresses and pillows. The building sits atop a steep hill, and there are 65 stairs leading down to the 2 parking spaces reserved for the vacation rental in the rear of the building. The front-door to the house is at street-level, so door-to-door drop-off of luggage is possible.

This is probably our 6th time staying here with different family members. Always fun to be engulfed in history. The view was awesome and the fall colors made it even better! There's lots of games & indoor activities if you get tires of the cool shops. Our favorite activity is walking to the river. The weather this time was even warm enough to get into the water! Not me...but our dogs did! AND we just found out that this marvelous host/owner rents out a place directly across the street! Sooo...if you have an extra large family or group, you can go at the same time! It's called Lookout Inn.

I am so disappointed. We checked into the beautiful home! Great location! Everything was going great… until evening. Some sort of bugs were swarming through the air conditioning units!! Landing all over the bedding! We thought it was just upstairs They were coming through all the units!! We left after only being there 7 hours. Host was notified. We received partial refund. But vacation was ruined.

Myself, my husband and another couple stayed here a week and had a great time. The home was very clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The building is very old so expect the quirks that come with that. The train station is very near so the trains do come through day and night sporadically. Some nights you not hear any and the next you might hear three. If this is going to bother you then this might not be the place for you. If you can live with that then you will absolutely love it here, as we did. Jill is a wonderful host, very prompt in responding to any questions. The property sits above the best restaurant in Harpers Ferry. When you walk out the front door, you are just steps away from all of the shops, restaurant/bars and park. Also there are great hiking trails you can just walk to. It was so much fun staying here, I would not consider staying anywhere else if I’m ever in the area again. Highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our group consisted of two 30-year olds, two 60-year olds and a baby. We found the place to be very spacious, well-equipped, clean, and comfortable. We loved the welcome book - so thorough and organized. The location was awesome; so nice to be able to walk to the nearby attractions and restaurant right underneath (noise dies down by 9/10ish which was a plus). Really the only big negative to point out is the water pressure in the showers were not great. Also, the train goes by pretty often, all hours of the night, with could get a little bothersome. Otherwise, I definitely recommend and would stay again!
