The photo advertising this place makes it appear that you will be overlooking the river. In fact, you are staying in the garage behind the house that overlooks the river. Also, guests should know that the upstairs bedroom is accessed by a very narrow spiral staircase. The bathroom is downstairs. Our host said we could come down to the bathroom via the outside stairs, which is not very practical at night in 30 degree weather with high winds. Speaking of the wind, the bedroom door, although “locked”, blew open in the middle of the night. Otherwise, the place was clean. But we never plan to stay there again.

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.

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.
