We are all things wild & wonderful West Virginia and proud to celebrate the history and majesty of staying in one of the most beautiful and historic American towns. With vintage and antique penny postcards, pages of antique newspapers recounting the Civil War, and antique novelty plates decorating the walls, our house strives to give you a real sense of place.
This stone and plaster three-bedroom, two-bath house was built in 1900, but the interior is thoroughly modern and warm and sunny. Situated of a half-acre lot, you will have access to a large green yard, an abundance of highly coveted off-street parking, and a patio dining area.

Other things to note
Wild & wonderful isn’t just a motto here in Harpers Ferry. Bolivar and Harpers Ferry are adjacent to the national park protected wilderness area, and the wildlife hasn’t heard about property lines yet! You may see wild animals on the property during your stay. In the early morning and late afternoon, deer will stroll over from the national park to graze on our grass. Possum and raccoon will roam the alleys looking for a snack. You may even see a snake or two or a big bug. These critters are all part of our ecosystem and we treat them with respect and caution. Like the old adage says, “look but don’t touch,” but our furry friends do make pretty good photo subjects.

Great location close to everything. Easy in and out. All amenities were available. We loved the record collection. WiFi was a little hit or miss but it doesn’t change my rating. Fantastic place and highly recommend!
5.0 / 5.0
The property is very nice & quiet. It has 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. The only problem we had was that both bathrooms are off of a bedroom. So the third bedroom can only access a bathroom by going into another bedroom. But the upstairs bedroom has two full/queen beds so we just doubled up two of us in one bedroom so we would all have access, especially in the night to a bathroom.
I would recommend this place readily.

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.
