We did not stay at all. The house had the strong smell of mildew/mold. With allergies we could not stay. Also we arrived about 1/2 hour early to check what coffee supplies to buy at the store before checking in. I knocked several times before entering and verbally called out. Was greeted by the owner fresh out the shower wrapped in towels who proceeded to tell me all the things wrong in the rental.

We want all guests to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive, and we’re sorry to hear this home didn’t meet your needs. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- Our cabin is over 100 years old, built entirely of wood, and located in a wooded setting. Like many historic properties, it has a natural scent, but we can assure guests that there is no mold or mildew present.
- We thoroughly clean and maintain the home between each stay to ensure it meets our standards.
- Check-in time is 4:00 PM, as stated in the listing. You arrived closer to 3:00 PM while we were still preparing the space, but we tried to be helpful and make sure you had what you needed for your stay.
We appreciate your feedback, and we remain committed to providing a welcoming stay for every guest.
Home was nestled in remote location. Very peaceful. Owner was very helpful

We enjoyed our stay, some surprises along the way, but ultimately this is a nice place if you are looking for convenience to Harper Ferry.

It is a charming home with all of the character you look for in a place over 100 years old. Howe is amazing and always tries to make the place comfortable
