About this property
Family-friendly, thoughtfully modernized, historic home in Harpers Ferry.
The Spy House is rich with history and has been lovingly updated by Its owner. It was built in the 1880s in the Federal style and has been adapted for modern living with an open-concept living room and kitchen.
Any cook will feel at home in the well-appointed eat-in kitchen. You can enjoy a relaxing meal around the large handmade farm table. You will find a heavy-duty gas stove, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.
The home features three bathrooms. The primary bathroom features a vintage clawfoot tub, the upstairs guest bathroom a shower, and the first-floor bathroom features a bespoke shower and vanity. Each of the four bedrooms has a comfortable queen-sized bed.
The house is situated on Camp Hill, which is a ten-minute walk to downtown historic Harpers Ferry and the train station. There is no downside to being so close to the action as even on the busiest of days in town, it remains quiet at the Spy House.
One of the house's former residents was suspected of being a spy for Germany, investigated and arrested by the FBI in 1945, and soon after pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit espionage; hence the name, the Spy House.

Everything about this place was excellent. The host was responsive and accommodating. The house was very nice, clean, and roomy, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The yard, location, and parking were big plusses too.
The Spy House was a wonderful stop on our bicycle trip from Pittsburgh to DC. It was close to restaurants and shopping, and was sparkling clean and beautifully decorated.
Great little house for a family gathering, well stocked, and a short (but steep!) walk into the historic district. Great hiking without moving the car on the C&O.
We had a great stay at the Spy House for our family reunion in Harper’s Ferry. The location was perfect and the house was exactly as advertised. The owner was communicative and accommodating. We will hopefully return soon!
The home is located in a quiet neighborhood close to AT trail and can walk into town. House has a well-equipped kitchen, was very clean and cozy for 4 adults providing comfortable gathering in sitting areas as well as private spaces for each. Easy and quick communication with host. Absolutely lovely stay! Thanks Jay.
Lovely weather, lots of space, fun games and puzzles. All one needs for a relaxing reunion.Lots of charming and historic decor.Vintage books and furniture fit in with history of the town.Location perfect for walking all around Harpers Ferry.
We loved staying at the Spy House. It was in a great location that allowed us to walk into town. The home is gorgeous - thank you for sharing it with us.
Very comfortable, well accomodated, in a beautiful area, with lots of local activities and sightseeing opportunities. The host did a beautiful job with the restoration.

This is an excellent home for a visit to Harpers Ferry, great location for doing anything local, hikes, history of the area... Home was very clean, had many of the kitchen things you may need to make a meal were provided... Our host was present when needed, and followed up with us... Really enjoyed our time here.
Came to bike C and O path . perfect location . House is spacious, well appointed and supplied . Host very pro- active and responsive. Definitely highly recommend .
Our family of 5 enjoyed all the space! With 4 bedrooms our adult kids each had their own room. The renovations throughout the house were done thoughtfully. It was just a short walk to the shops and trail. It also helped that our host was friendly and very easy to reach. Thank you!
Beautiful home that has an antique feel with modern convenience. The host was very attentive and helpful. The area is gorgeous and steeped in history, with lots to see and do.
The property was just as it was pictured online. We appreciated how clean and orderly it was. Plenty of space and just a short walk into town and to hiking trails.
I had a wonderful weekend trip here with friends. The house is beautiful, clean, and cozy, and we loved the historic details. The house is well organized and well stocked, including the kitchen, which made it easy to cook meals. The location is amazing—the house is right by downtown. Jay was very communicative and helpful, which we really appreciated. We really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend!
Wonderful stay. Great location (walkable down into town), three nice and comparable bedrooms so no one had to argue over who got which one (ha ha!), great bathrooms, great kitchen, great communication with host (although we had no issues and didn't need anything). We would absolutely stay here again. Appreciated the board games, too! Thank you!
We enjoyed our time in Harpers Ferry very much. We also enjoyed the Spy House. The location was very convenient. The house was roomy, clean, and very comfortable, and had everything we needed. We were especially impressed that the temperature in the house was perfect and stable through our entire stay.
Beautiful house with well-appointed kitchen and comfortable beds on a quiet, lovely street in historic Harper’s Ferry. Walked to everything! Hope to come back again.
The Spy house was really great. It was so clean, updated and a perfect location. We could easily walk downtown to hiking, shops and restaurants. Jay was very responsive and thorough in giving instructions and suggestions for our trip. The kitchen had everything we needed with a nice table for us to eat and great sitting areas
