I think this is a nice little property for a very small group. The best part of the guesthouse is its central location in the surrounding historical area. Hagerstown, largest town with abundance of services is minutes away. Harpers Ferry is a short pleasant drive through gorgeous countryside. Frederick is closeby. Gettysburg is merely an hour ride, by car that is. Shepherdstown, WV is a stones throw away. The house is historic. it was comfortable. Being a big city kid, I was a little uneasy with the latch that kept the basement door closed, but Sharpsburg is a quiet little hamlet, so security was not a big deal. If you know you are renting an 166 year old home, then you are satisfied. Its quaint. The slanted floors, the steep and painted wood staircase with narrow steps all lend to the idea that you are staying in a house that stood during the Civil War. The house of a C&O canal boat captain. That you are just a second away where men who swore allegiance to the flag fought against each other to rid the union of the peculiar institution. If you keep in perspective the place, the events, and the outcome that changed the lives of millions, then you will appreciate this little house.
