Great spot near Harpers Ferry This is a spacious, comfortable home. Walking distance to dining, wine and convenience store. A bit far to downtown Harpers Ferry, but doable. We brought our own grill for outdoor cooking. Amy was super responsive to all my questions prior to our trip. I'd recommend this location to friends and family if ever in the area.
