Sweet & Convenient

On the banks of the Potomac River, this lovely little spot is a short drive from Antietam, Shephardstown, Charles Town and Harper's Ferry. It is also only a moderate distance from Gettysburg and DC. Strongly recommended!

We would stay again

The house could have been cleaner or had clorox wipes to clean it better. It was nice and big for our family with adult kids and our dog. The fire was nice to sit out and relax. Dining room table was big and perfect for board games. Overall we had a good experience and great family time.

Great Location but Water Heater Shut Off

Great location and very well appointed. Good directions for locating the property and check in. Was all automated messages Unfortunately on the last evening, the water mysteriously shut off at 6:30pm. I had no success contacting anyone via VRBO's message feature so I pushed the Contact button put me in touch with an old property manager who fortunately knew the owner. Water came back on but hours later, late in the evening, we figured out that the water heater hadn't turned back on. No response from the owner resulted in cold morning showers. New owner listing on the other site. donpragain.

Great Location...but needs work

Pros: Location and very spacious Cons: House needs a deep cleaning and maintenance. House was not very clean inside or out. The previous guest (?) had left trash in the first pit including a bunch of dirty diapers. The host did finally send someone to clean it out 2 days later, but it shouldn't have been there in the first place. All of the dishes had to be washed before you could use them, etc. Also, there was a smoke detector that kept beeping (low battery). This led us to realize there were no smoke detectors hanging in any of the rooms upstairs - but we found the beeping one hanging in a closet?!? And just an FYI for anyone else considering the property - the grill is not propane. We showed up planning to grill and had to run to the store for charcoal. Not a deal breaker, but annoying. Overall it was disappointing. Especially since it's a nice location and property.

Second time staying for girls weekend away. Nice and roomy unfortunately we did have a small issue. Hot water tank went out on us. However, communication between house manager was on point!! The hot water tank was unable to be fixed during our stay as expected for a Saturday and Sunday. This will not stop us from enjoying this house again in the near future.

The pictures used for the listing was not what was currently in the house. Upon arrival the wooden planks used for the sidewalk were loose and lifted when you walked. The driveway was overgrown with low tree line. The sidewalk was overgrown with weeds. The yard was in need of mowing. When opening the front door, the smell of “wet dog” instantly hit you. The carpet on the stairs were worn and in need of cleaning. The upper deck needs to be replaced. I got a splinter when using the railing. The picnic table would not come clean and the grill had leftover chocolate and marshmallows burnt on. Under the futon and in front of the futon in the coffee table had food crumbs. The window air conditioner had a gap to the outside that let the bugs and rain in. The upstairs shower only had lukewarm water, no hot water. The only positive was the location. This was definitely not worth the price.

Family/girls weekend

The property was great for relaxing, touring local history and enjoying the recreation on the Potomac River and bike trail. We had a slight issue with the water heater, called the property contact and the problem was fixed within the hour. Excellent service and great stay. We would stay again.

Nice getaway that sleeps several!

We stayed here for my wedding weekend with our bridal party (7 of us). It was the perfect size house to fit us all and accommodate our different sleeping and getting ready arrangements. Easy check in and check out process and the hosts were quick to respond. Wish we could’ve stayed longer to explore the area!

Lovely location

We very much enjoyed our stay. The grounds are beautiful and the proximity to the canal trail is wonderful. Beds are very comfortable. House is adorable. Kitchen could be better equipped. I bought a few extra coffee cups and left them for the next guests.

Peaceful River Views

Thank you for a great stay in a beautiful setting. The house’s set up was perfect for our multigenerational vacation—privacy for the grandparents downstairs and lots of comfortable space for our family of three upstairs. Such a peaceful setting lets you fully appreciate the natural beauty of this area.

Perfect for race weekend

We stayed here for the JFK 50 race and it worked out perfectly. Right in the middle of Boonsboro and Williamsport, it was the perfect location. The house was even larger than I expected. Plenty of couches and space to spread out. Although we didn't take advantage of it, the yard was awesome. Would definitely stay here again.

Quaint and comfortable

Comfortable and right at the C&O trail, so easy to take lovely walks. The house is clean, the kitchen and dining spaces more than adequate, multiple common areas are nice, as are bedrooms. Minor issue in that it seems the visitors before us made the remote for the downstairs tv disappear. Connection via phone, text etc can be spotty unless you're on the houses wifi, which worked well.

Enjoyed Potomac River Retreat

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Potomac River Retreat. From visiting Harpers Ferry, playing the slots at Charles Town Casino, to taking the self-guided tour of Antietam National Battlefield Park, hiking the Maryland Heights Trail via Harpers Ferry, and walking the C&O Canal tow path. To eating at Captain Benders and getting sandwiches and snacks at Battleview Market. And simply enjoying the fire pit. Thank you for the great experiences

It was very comfortable and the outdoor beauty was excellent. Great location for the area. Only negative was a sofa couch that obviously had been repaired before but failed when one of us sat down. We have pictures. Made a note of it to the contact person. They stated they would have team repair it after we left. There would be no $charges$ applied (since we did not do the damage).
