The Perfect Weekend Getaway

Harpers Ferry is a must visit, and the Carrot Top Cottage was the perfect location to be completely immersed in the history and quaitness you'd expect to find.The hosts are 2nd to none and quick to act when situations out of their control occurred. The power outage literally set the town back into the early 19th century. We will definitely be visiting again, and would recommend to coupmes of all ages.

Harpers Ferry Serene

The Carriage House was a perfect spot for exploring Harpers Ferry and the surrounding area. It was very comfortable, and the outdoor sitting area was serene. Loved being able to walk downtown. Greatly enjoyed seeing deer around the property in the evenings.

Wonderful Cottage

Clean, was perfect for me and my Husband. A little of everything we needed for our stay. I would however, like the tall bush by the entrance door trimmed away a little better. Not much room to step down and turn to open the door and carry luggage. Over all, beautiful location and cottage.

Sweet spot for a relaxing mini-moon

A great little room for my new husband and I to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life, and wedding planning. Perfect location, backs right up the the Appalachian trail. I wish there were a few hooks on the walls to hang more things, but if that's the only complaint I have, we had an amazing time.

Quiet cottage on the Ridge

The cottage was exactly as described and better. Though the property was small, every need was met. The location was outstanding...just yards from the Appalachian Trail with stunning view of the Shanendoah River and accessible to upper and lower Harpers Ferry. I was on foot throughout my stay and found this site challenging yet ideal with access to the cottage's ridge location via neighborhood streets, trails, and hillside stairs,...all beautiful and filled with history. I hope to return again soon.

Nice weekend

My wife and I stayed at the carriage house for a weekend away in Harper's ferry. It was a nice little cottage that was very clean and cozy. It's not a huge space but that was okay for just my wife and I. My only critisism is that there is only one sink to wash your hands and wash any dishes you used and. Not a huge issue nonetheless. I would definitely stay there again.
