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.

This was my second visit to the quaint little cottage with the dog and she and I both enjoyed it just as much as our first time. Our favorite spot to stay is on the dock, enjoying the swing, and watching the boats go by. Thank you for another fantastic stay!

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.

We were able to lounge on the boat and the dock. We got in the water with the pups and also hung out on the deck area while having our Bolivar Bakery breakfast and coffee.

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!

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.
