Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Shana H. 16 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome place to stay to commune w/ nature! Pros: Lovely property (we enjoyed the Japanese garden very much, strolling through the gardens was relaxing and rejuvenating, the grounds were clearly very well maintained and the surroundings were just gorgeous), quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed and comfy couches for lounging at the end of the day, very friendly host, great access to Potomac, C&O canal trail, well stocked pantry, complimentary bottle of wine, comfy robes, nice towels and linens, very good toiletries, and nice kayaks available to rent. If biking C&O canal, this would be a perfect place to overnight or weekend while en route! Cons: Window screens need replacing, all are very damaged, it'd be nice to be able to open the windows and let in fresh air w/out letting in all the bugs. :) Bed is in a very cramped loft w/ low ceilings, the bed is up against a wall so getting in/out of bed at night is tricky to avoid bumping your partner and/or your head. It was OK for my husband and I, but I felt obligated to post that here as it wasn't that clear in the listing that this was the sleeping situation. The gate to get in/out of the property is a little clunky but you get used to it. Overall, my husband and I had a lovely stay, we had a weekend full of outdoor adventures and truly appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of the host. The pros outweighed the cons by far, we would absolutely consider staying here again, and I would recommend this place to anyone seeking to be close to the Potomac River and enjoying the outdoors, while having a very comfortable place to come back to at night! ##### Shana H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Emily D. 22 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Much needed get away We enjoyed our stay. The proximity to Frederick and Harper’s Ferry is very convenient. It’s lovely to site by the water fall and the pool was nice as well Owner has stocked the kitchen with lots of goodies and nice things in the bathroom as well There is a very musty order that hits you the minute you walk in. We considered only staying a night but we really wanted this must needed get away. I tried to reach out to Andrew after I left directly to let him know but there is a mushroom growing in the bathroom out of the wall under the toilet. I did not notice that but my husband took a picture. You walk up big rocks/stones from the car to the entrance. They are spaced unevenly and some are further apart than others. I fell the second day and scrapped my leg and arm. I made sure to only wear sneakers the rest of the time I went up and down. I would really suggest a railing of some kind. I can not be the only one that has had an issue but he has a sign that says slippery when wet. I bet it is The loft has a bed that is comfortable but even 1 person has trouble standing. They needed dormers. 1 slept up, 1 slept on the sofa The main living area of very nice and cozy. A big TV with streaming channels and it was very quiet. ##### Emily D.

There was kindness and care evident in every aspect of the location, from the beautifully manicured landscaping and gorgeous wooded grounds, to the super well stocked kitchen. Ten out of Ten would recommend to anyone who wanted a break from city life in a beautiful natural setting and all the amenities of a well-stocked home. ##### S.R. E.

I could smell the fake air freshener before I even entered the door. I spent majority of my time sitting out on the bench. When I did go inside, my throat would feel tight and tingly. We went into town to get Benadryl and decided not to even stay the night. There are only a couple of reasons to use fake chemical cancer-causing air fresheners and that is to mask a problem. I removed all of the sprays and plug-ins and that is when you could smell the underlining problem of must and water damage. I told him that I was having issues with the air fresheners and removed them from the rental and he agreed that he didn’t like them as well. I asked the owner if they would meet me halfway with a partial refund since I did not spend a single night in the property and they refused saying the problem was mine and that I should see a doctor concerning my allergies. It was really quite unprofessional as they know they are masking a problem. In my refund request, Andrew told me that he was “no expert” but he would seek medical help as this was a me problem. Well Andrew, I am no expert” but I would start with a dehumidifier and damp X bags to help with your water problem. I paid these guys $800 to spend three hours at their property!!! I currently have a request in with VRBO for a full refund but they have refused to answer any correspondence with VRBO for nearly a week. Andrew also told me that his property was far better than staying at a hotel. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a hotel where I could smell fake air fresheners before I even enter the door. If I did, I certainly would not stay there either! No rental should ever have any sprays plug-ins candles incense potpourri ##### Marie K.

Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### John H. 11 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy #### Expectations, rules according to owner and online listing costs Ambience of guest house and grounds were very enjoyable as expected. However, the online listing of rates per day was significantly lower than the actual charged rates. If this typical for the State of Maryland, in the future we will need to know what the actual total charges will be at time of booking and not rely on advertised rates listed online. In addition, after arrival the ower advised us of "rules" regarding our visiting guests, such as names and ages for each guest, how long a period will each guest be visiting, what will be the total number of guests at each visit and what will each visitor be doing on grounds. The ower stated all of the above information should have been prearranged at time of booking. Furthermore, owner stated there could be addtional fees for having visitors. Booking agent, Vrbo, provided no such requirements nor did owner communicated these rules to us prior to check in. This issue was very distressing for us to learn following a long drive and with guests expected to arrive within 15 minutes. Either booking agent and/or owner should have provided these requirements to us at time of booking or at least prior to check in. We doubt Vrbo, based on our previous experiences with them, have the capacity to make such detailed delineations at the time of booking. Therefore, the ower should have initiated and informed us of these requirements at least prior to check in. In summary the stay was delightful, except for the first two hours after check in. If the above two issues are not addressed, I doubt I will refer any family nor friends to this place, no matter how charming it may be.

Very private and access to a pool right by the owners' house. No kayaks available on the property but both rivers (Shenandoah and Potomac) very accessible and water sports are rentable on a daily basis. We had a great time - they have a brand new charcoal grill and honestly, we couldn't have been more relaxed! The pool was a little dirty but the guest house was impeccable and well-stocked!

Great place to relax, and unwind. Everything was well thought-out and planned by the property manager. From the peach pie, full set up for coffee/tea to the commentary bottle of wine.

And it's just as described, including the gardens and waterfall. The house is as nicely decorated and furnished as any we've rented, beautifully maintained, and was absolutely immaculate. And I know we've never had a vacation rental that included such an amazingly well-stocked pantry. Add the helpful and welcoming hosts, and you couldn't ask for more. ##### Jade W.

This was truly the best property we've stayed in! The cabin itself was so clean and comfortable. The stocked pantry was unlike any other. The hosts were always responsive and available, but never intrusive! the property is beautiful, we loved sitting outside having our morning coffee. There is not much to do off property in the immediate area, but driving to Harper's Ferry and Leesburg for hiking and dining was easy. I hope we get a chance to return! ##### Heather S.

We were attending two family gatherings in nearby Frederick and we also wanted to hike along the trails overlooking the Potomac . This was perfectly located between the two and offered a peaceful getaway. As others mentioned, we arrived to our cottage and could smell the homemade apple pie as we entered. It was delicious! The cottage was perfect and we enjoyed our mornings drinking coffee on the bench in the front overlooking the spectacular waterfall. Someone is a master hardscape artist! \*note for owner: although we had brought our own coffee, yours was so good we used it instead. I’m hoping you can let me know what brand you use. ##### Laura B.

From the time we booked our reservation, to arriving at the property, Andrew was a welcoming and attentive host. We were delighted to find an apple pie, a bottle of wine, and many other delicious snacks for us to enjoy gratis throughout our stay. The property was immaculate as was the cottage. Our two pups enjoyed spending time exploring the Japanese garden, beautiful grass area, and many other features on the property. We felt at home, and were really able to relax. We would love to see the property in the spring time when everything is in full-bloom and have already discussed returning! We give this experience a definite 5 stars! ##### Gina H.

While we enjoyed beautiful fall foliage in October, this time we were treated to lovely snow covered trees and crisp air. With the colder temperatures, we utilized the pellet stove (after a lesson from the amazing Marc!) and honestly, it's better than a fireplace. I spent each morning sitting by the stove, looking out the huge picture window with my coffee -- simply sublime! Everything was amazing once again -- VERY CLEAN AND TIDY, and fully stocked with snacks and bathroom items, and anything you could need from a heated blanket to curl up with on the couch to delightful artisan honey to drizzle in my morning coffee. Excellent job salting and shoveling icy / snowy driveway and walkways!! We absolutely love this place, and the owners could not be nicer. Highly recommended! ##### Alexis H.

It snowed shortly after we arrived. The waterfall, bridge and gazebo all looked beautiful in the snow. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. The view outside each of the windows was stunning. We would have been happy staying on the property for three days but we were able to drive to Harper’s Ferry and Catoctin to hike. I would stay here again. ##### Judy G. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2021 ---
