We had the absolute BEST time here. Came for my bf’s bday. It was perfect. The little cottage itself was nice and clean and so cute! We loved the spiral staircase. The host was super sweet. He got the dock ready for us, got the kayaks in the water, blew all the leaves off, even got a fire ready to light for us. We were right on the water where we could fish off the dock. The swing looking over the water was a nice chill spot as well. Two fire pits to choose from. He let us ride his golf cart around which was super fun! We grilled chicken, made Mac and cheese. Had an Alfredo night. So they had everything we needed to do so. I did bring one pan of my own. This was the perfect little get away!! :) and only 15ish mins from Harper’s Ferry old town. We did a couple of hikes in the area and it was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend staying here for a couples get away!! Downstairs had a pull out couch so could fit up to 4 people. Thanks Bill!! We had a great time!! :)

Bill and Robin were welcoming hosts and their puppy Maui. We loved the deck by the river and all of the accommodations if we wanted to kayak, perhaps next time. It was quiet and peaceful and I loved the books and decor. I mostly caught up on sleep but if I had a few more days I would have read.

Beautiful, peaceful little cottage. Stayed for the weekend and enjoyed hiking in Harpers Ferry and the local restaurants. Our dog loved hanging out by the water and sitting on the swing by the fire at night. We will be back!

Getting back to nature

My 2 grandsons & I had a wonderful visit at the Riverkeeper Inn. The Riverfront is beautiful & lots of nature to enjoy. They also liked riding around on the golf cart in the neighborhood checking out the deer & birds. Very peaceful. It was a nice getaway for them being from Texas.

In the river every day

We had a fabulous time here! This was a great location. Not only was it close to historic sites, downtown Harper’s Ferry, but we also thoroughly enjoyed the river (as did our dog!). While this is a back unit to the host's home, they were were hospitable, friendly, made an effort to give us privacy and allowed us full use of all the amenities. We were concerned about privacy, but had no issues and would absolutely recommend this place. It was also a great neighborhood for our dog to walk/run and make friends. We plan to come back!

An excellent experience at Riverkeeper Inn

Riverkeeper Inn is located in a peaceful and quiet area of Harpers Ferry, equally perfect in early mornings and late nights. The check-in and check-out process were very easy, and the property itself had everything we could've asked for, and then some.

Lakeview Property

Went to Harper’s Ferry for our 25th wedding anniversary and wanted to stay near the water since we usually stay in town. Found this property and it was perfect. Sits on property with owners who we met and their dog Chloe who was an absolute sweetheart. If you are looking for a piece of serenity you will find it at the Riverkeeper Inn. Very nice and quiet neighborhood. The property was tidy and clean and you get to use the gazebo or decks near the water to chill and if it wasn’t too chilly would have taken the kayaks out on the water. Highly recommend this property.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
It was awkward and uncomfortable having the owners on the same property as they were not . very friendly to us they acted rude and stuck up! The dock, stairs and “cottage” all need building code updates to be considered safe enough to rent. The couple that lives there was always around and it just felt like we were being watched all of the time like I was intruding on their space. I didn’t feel safe, because we were surrounded by equipment and flammables outside and inside the garage connected to it. I was under the impression we would be close to water with no owners on site. The unit itself smelt horrible like cigarettes and mildew and it made me sick…I’m literally sick and I spent money for my daughter’s bday and we did not enjoy our stay! The docks were surrounded by sharp rocks and weeds with stickers that hurt badly if you touch them which was near impossible not to do. I don’t think they should be allowed to rent until they fix some major mold, smoke and safety issues. I will be requesting a refund it definitely was not work 300 a night!!! Don’t believe the reviews. They also need to mention that you will not have cell service to map to their property so you have to make sure you have a print out of the directions or a paper map. We were stuck for hours trying to find our way there. Thanks Expedia!
