About this property

Riverfront Retreat at Harpers Ferry, Float & Swim!

  • Welcome to Rivermist Rest, a waterfront cabin on the Shenandoah River just minutes from historic Harpers Ferry. Enjoy private river access from the dock for swimming, kayaking, tubing, or relaxing by the water. Inside, you'll find a kitchen for gathering, cozy living spaces, and comfortable beds. 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.

    Be aware that our home is in nature, and you may encounter bugs during your stay - primarily in the summer season. We have regular pest control to minimize the presence of bugs, but bugs, bees, and little creatures all merrily live near our river too.

    We do not offer kayaks or other boats to guests, however there are many river tour companies (Harpers Ferry Adventure Center, River & Trail Outfitters, River Riders) that offer kayaks, rafts, and more to enjoy the river!
