Explore hiking trails, shops, wineries, and breweries nearby, then unwind by the fire pit overlooking the river. Perfect for families, couples, and friends - the perfect getaway for any season!

The space
GREAT LOCATION:
Just 15 minutes from historic downtown Harpers Ferry, the Appalachian trail, C&O canal for biking/walking, breweries, wineries, local shops, parks, museums, a casino, and more!

OUTDOOR SPACE:
Enjoy use of the private dock right on the Shenandoah River. The river is about 2 ft deep around the dock area with a gentle flow, and can be greater than 4 ft after continuous rainfall with a much greater flow. Current river conditions can be searched on google with "Shenandoah River conditions Harpers Ferry."

The expansive upper level deck provides spacious opportunities to dine, grill, and relax with a wonderful sunset view in the evenings. There is a bonfire area with Adirondack chairs, offering a great spot for sunset and stargazing views. The space under the house provides an all-weather hangout area with extra-long picnic tables, a ping pong table, TV with YouTube TV and Netflix, dart board, and putting green.
