About this house rental
We have been vacation rental owners in Harpers Ferry since 2009 (see VRBO 265656), and are committed to ensuring that our guests enjoy a comfortable and truly unique stay in one of the most historic and charming towns on the East Coast.
We acquired this charming new (200 year old!) house and spent 2020 completing renovations. Like our other downtown Harpers Ferry vacation rental, this 200 year old home is located in the heart of downtown Harpers Ferry and on top of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Restaurants, shops, hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail,) museums, and shops are quite literally feet away.
The front door of the house is off of the front porch at the top of the stairs (see pictures). Hang out on the front porch and enjoy the beautiful mountain views and the activity in town below you, or enter through the front door into a charming living room. Off of the living room you will find a fully-equipped eat-in kitchen with dining table for 6 plus 3 countertop stools and a half bath. Head up the stairs to the second floor where you will find 2 bright bedrooms (both with awesome views!), a full bath, and a super-cozy TV room. Exit out to the back patio from the TV room, and wander up the hill in the back yard to find an absolutely spectacular view of the Harpers Ferry Gap!
This truly is a one-of-a-kind house in an amazing location. OH...It also comes with a parking space (a HUGE bonus in Harpers Ferry!!). Please note that the parking space is located on Potomac Street, and you must climb 65 steps up to High Street where the house is located. Luggage drop-off is permitted any time except Saturday and Sunday between 11AM and 5PM. Also, please note that the stairs in this house are very steep! Please keep this in mind if you have trouble with stairs!

Staying in the house is like going back in time to live in the center of old Harper's Ferry, but with all the amenities you'd expect. A very fun place to stay, the porch over High Street alone is worth staying for.

This is an excellent place to stay to experience Harper's Ferry. The historic section of the town, closest to the rivers is very small and has very few places to stay. This house is right in the midst of it with a great view overlooking the historic streets. The house itself is old, but well kept and clean. It feels as though you are part of the history during your stay. Bars and restaurants, although there are not too many right in town are within easy walking distance. The National Park itself is equally close, as are the rivers and walking trails. Having a parking space in Harper's Ferry is an amazing benefit, it is down the hill as described in the listing, but it really made the stay easy.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful Harpers Ferry home. It was so amazing to stay in the historical area and be close and able to walk to all the National Park sites. We were most attracted to that lovely porch and enjoyed our coffee there in the early morning, watching the town come to life. We also liked afternoons reading and napping there and an evening glass of wine after dinner. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the furniture and beds were very comfortable. We will certainly stay here again if our travels bring us back to Harpers Ferry.

This historic home is full of historical architecture while containing modern updates. The convenient location to Harper’s Ferry and food establishments across the street could not be beat. Those who have an affection for trains will enjoy the day and night rumblings and horns of trains going through the historic downtown area.

This was our third stay here and it was amazing as usual. Our only hiccup was with the vrbo app, Jill could send messages, but we couldn't reply. Aside from that, the house and location are fantastic, the fire place is so cozy, the kitchen is beautiful, the beds are comfy, and the tv is easy to navigate. It was sad to leave but we're excited to be back next year. Thank you Jill for being top notch, best host ever. ❤️

Wonderful historic house with all the modern conveniences, elegance and charm. Bed and linens had the comfort of a luxury hotel. Wine on the front porch was a perfect ending to an adventurous day of hiking on the variety of trails near by. Situated in the center of Historic Harpers Ferry and just across the street from the best restaurant, unique shops and historic buildings and tours. Truly enjoyed our time there and took advantage of all it had to offer. The Holiday decor in town made our trip even more magical.

Our stay in Harper’s Ferry was wonderful. We were in the heart of it all. Everything we needed was right at our fingertips. We had delicious coffee at Battlegrounds, yummy lunch at the Rabbit Hole, shopping at Tenfold and hiking trails just a stones throw from our bnb. Jill’s place captures the charm ajo history of Harper’s Ferry. It has a comfortable ad cozy energy with updated modern conveniences. The kitchen was well stocked and organized. Comfortable beds and hot water at the ready. The views of the town and the mountains were beautiful. Jill is a great host with attentive communication. We enjoyed our time in this historic and unique location!

This was the perfect location if you are visiting Harpers Ferry with friends or family. You can see the entire town from sitting on the porch, or take a nighttime walk when it’s quiet down to all the sites. The biggest “downside” was the trains running through nearby woke everyone through the night, but I’m not sure that would be different at any other property nearby!

This was our second visit to Harper's Ferry and we were so excited to stay right in the historic lower town! The house was just as described and had all the amenities we needed for our short stay. It was great being so close to all the restaurants, shops, and historical stops. Also a bonus that we could bring our small dog. Thanks for a great stay and some fun memories!

The house is a beautiful, historic home located conveniently to all the shops and downtown Harper’s Ferry.

Lookout Inn is exactly as advertised on VRBO. Right in town within walking distance to restaurants, hiking trails and shops. A great porch to watch town plus it includes a parking spot which is golden if you like to explore as we did. The bed was supper comfy, laundry on site and a grill for easy lunches or dinner. The owner, Jill, is always available if questions or issues come up. We'll definitely be back. 5 plus ✨

This property is incredible. Great location right across from all the shops and restaurants. Great mix of modern amenities and old-time experience. The interior design is thoughtful and makes for a cozy stay. Jill was very helpful and communicative. The front porch is very comfortable and relaxing. If you are sensitive to noise (which we are not) there is a train line that runs within ear shot of the property. We found it charming, and our daughter loved watching the trains go by. Would definitely stay again

It was our first time to Harpers Ferry and loved every minute of it! Our host Jill was the best at communicating all important information and the procedures for checking in/out, where to park were detailed, easy to follow and so helpful. The house was exactly has described on-line. The location right on High Street was so enjoyable. We loved hanging out on the porch, enjoying a drink, watching people in the evenings! It was easy access to hiking and biking plus exploring the town. We can’t wait to get back there!

To begin, the property owner is just great! The communication is wonderful and most helpful! The location of the residence is perfect! We parked our car for the weekend and never needed to touch it. We were able to walk everywhere and truly enjoy the residence. We hiked, we sat on the front porch, we ate, slept and were merry! Beds were very, very comfortable. Kitchen had everything that you needed. It was a rainy Friday when we arrived, and the owner had the gas fireplace on for us upon arrival with a lovely bottle of wine. What more could you ask for!!! Thank you so very much Jill!

Super cool old home. We took our two kids ages 9 and 10 for a getaway.
Sat on the porch drinking wine and in the amazing chair- was that really a Herman Miller?
Went hiking and ate at the Rabbit Hole.
Highly recommend for people who like staying in shape as the stairs are wicked but awesome.

My husband, MIL and I, along with our 2 boys (4 and 6) enjoyed our stay! You couldn't beat the location. Loved the history of the town, along with the home itself. Would recommend to anyone!!!

Great location to walk into town. Love sitting on the front porch with our drinks. The house was clean and comfortable. It was very old and about what you’d expect for that. But it was unique. I loved the town and had a great time for a cousins weekend. The only downfall was the parking but that was explained before booking and we worked around it. Would stay again if I came back to the area.

Nice, pet friendly home. Convenient location and beautiful view of the ocean. Would definitely stay here again. Back yard fence has gaps big enough for your small dog to get through. We made sure to attend to ours when they went out so it wasn’t t an issue.

We stayed here for the first time last year and just had to come back! The house is clean, quaint, and in the best location- there’s a view of the river and also a VERY short walking distance from shops and restaurants. Beds are comfortable and we love the cozy tv room. Will come back again next year if we can!

We had a great weekend stay at this lovely and unique home. The place was just as pictured, but better. As a historic home, the floors weren’t level and there was character instead of straight lines, yet all the modern features you needed for comfort were there. The beds were extremely comfortable. The central location was perfect for hiking and taking in the sights. We loved being able to run home across the street after dinner at the nearby restaurants. Highly recommend this special place.
