RIVERKEEPER INN, Waterfront Property on the Potomac River

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.

We had a wonderful time, even in the rain! Easy river access and beautiful views of both the water and green spaces.

The Riverkeeper cottage was quaint, clean, and perfect for our needs. We met the owner, Bill, right away and he was very welcoming to us and our dog. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had all that we needed. While there wasn't a stove/oven, but we didn't feel like we needed one. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Good sized smart tv's in both the living room and bedroom. Cottage is located behind the owner's home in a very quiet, clean neighborhood immediately overlooking a peaceful section of the Potomac River. Immediately across the small street from the house is a gorgeous dock overlooking the river. We enjoyed our coffee in the screened in cabana on this deck every morning. While the owners met us as we arrived, they gave us our space during our whole visit. We took a walk through the neighborhood one evening and enjoyed the stroll along the Potomac, encountering deer and geese along the way. Very close to Antietam and Harper's Ferry national parks, hiking trails, and small historic towns.

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!! :)

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.

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.

Enjoyed sitting on the deck above the river in the evenings, quiet and peaceful looking forward to staying there again.

My husband and I had a great time. The property was as described and owners very friendly. We enjoyed the day on the river kayaking.

This guest house was cute and enough room for us (two adults). (There was a pull out couch available on the living/kitchen area if we had more people.) The directions given were clear and got us exactly where we needed to be. Upon arriving you see beautiful, well manicured gardens and lawn on both sides of a narrow road that separates the houses from the river front. The owners do an excellent job keeping the property pleasing to the eye. The owner came to greet us and told us to pull into the drive. After turning into the driveway, you pull behind the main house to arrive at the guest house. The booking is a small half-garage, half house. The location is perfect for those looking to explore the river, enjoy the history of the area, and just relax in the garden/gazebo area overlooking the water. We loved kayaking, fishing and borrowing the owners tubes to float down the river. The guest house is across the street from the river. Bill, one of the owners was friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations for restaurants, and fishing. We gave it four stars because it wasn't quite as clean as we expected. There were several spiders (both dead and alive) in addition to other live bugs we found in the house throughout our stay. Additionally, there were two cars in "disrepair" that were visible, a cracked window in the house, and dog poo in the side/back yard. We understand this property is actively lived-in, but we were surprised by these few things.

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.

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!

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. :)

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!

Enjoyed our brief stay. Nice getaway. Appreciated the added touch of holiday decorations to make our stay extra homey & cozy.

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!

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.

We had a great peaceful trip in WV and the Riverkeeper was a big part of it. We appreciated their hospitality and location right next to the river. And Shepherds town.

Great host great location

Bill and Robin treated us like family. We spent more time there on property than out because this place was just what we needed. We will come again and this is our place!Loved it!!Thank you, Bill and Robin!

The host was very accommodating and helpful. Location was perfect - quiet and close to sights, etc. we were in the area for a wedding, so we spent a lot of time out and about and everything was convenient.

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.
