About this property

RIVERKEEPER INN, Waterfront Property on the Potomac River

Cozy, quiet Potomac River location. Come and play on the river. Kayak, canoe, swim, water ski, tube, float, paddle board, or fish. The sleeping quarters is a newly renovated detached garage converted into 2 level guest house. The cottage sits behind the main house, it's about 75 feet from the waterfront lot. Located near Historic Harper's Ferry. This lovely guesthouse has wonderful views any season, any time of day. Enjoy an evening cocktail and watch the sun go down over the Blue Ridge Mountains then view the stars from your private waterfront deck. Have your morning coffee on the secluded back deck where you may spot a grazing deer. Laze on the hammock and picnic in the shaded back yard. Fish for smallmouth bass or enjoy a good book on your dock. Use the boat ramp to launch your boat or jet-ski. Go for a hike, bike ride, or horseback ride on the C&O Canal tow path located directly across the river. Relax in the natural water "spa" amongst the rocks. Shop in quaint nearby Shepherdstown where you'll find coffee shops and excellent dining. Watch thoroughbred horse racing or play the slots at Charlestown Races and Casino. Visit museums, explore history, or enjoy local festivals and farmers markets. Play volleyball or soccer on the large grassy field. Go whitewater rafting or enjoy the zipline nearby. Sip wine at numerous local vineyards. Several. Breweries nearby. See for yourself and experience the fun of Wild and Wonderful West Virginia. Centrally located near Historic Winchester, Frederick, Hagerstown, Berkley Springs, and Martinsburg. Each about a 30 minute drive.

Bill and Robin were great hosts. We were looking for something quiet and relaxing and we found it. We spent Thanksgiving and the weekend after there, despite not having a stove or oven, we were able to prepare our meal with the use of the grill and hot plate that was provided. The beauty of the river and surrounding property was great. Being able to wake up and go sit on the decks and have a cup of coffee was just the remedy to help decompress and recharge. Shepherds town was great with the first weekend of Christmas shopping as was Harper’s Ferry. Harper’s Ferry is always something special but we really enjoyed Shepherdstown’s Main Street and stores. Charlestown was a bust, not very much shopping on Main Street, very disappointed that more money was spent on gambling then their Main Street. The Bavarian Inn and lodge was a pleasure to have a meal at. There is elegant dining or you can eat in the pub area for a more casual environment. The food was excellent and service was fantastic. We have been talking about finding a place to go every year for Thanksgiving and I think we have found it. We look forward to heading back next year and maybe even a couple time in between.

Great little cottage
This is the most adorable cottage. Its clean, it's homey and has everything you need. The property is lovely. Every night we ate dinner along the water. Tubed during the day, fire at night. The owners are a lovely couple who are there if you need them and very helpful. You see them but they give you space. They have the sweetest Golden, her name is Chloe. They also have a golf cart which was a ton of fun to drive around the community. I felt very safe and would visit again. Loved the area. My dog and I hiked on a few of the battlegrounds near by. This property is worth seeing and experiencing. I would give this experience a 4.5. The only thing keeping me from giving it a 5 is that the cottage is located on the same property as the owners, directly behind their home. They again, are a lovely couple and gave you space and were very accomodating. This is just something I wish I would have known ahead of time. If this was mentioned in the reviews or write-up, I did not see it and that is on me. :)

About the host

Robin and I grew up in Johnstown, PA. We always had a dream of living on the water. We got lucky when we found this gorgeous place. Well not when we bought it, a concrete rambler that was a mess. You could not see the river from the house. We completely rebuilt the main house in 2008 adding the ultimate master bedroom. We added the Cottage in 2005, for family, friends and guests. It has been a labor of love. We have lived here since 2003. We tell everyone that we live on vacation. We would love to share our little piece of paradise with you.
