Very well-maintained Cabin | |
This is a perfect getaway spot! Everything you need is there for you. Everything is well-thought-through and carefully taken care of for you. |
Carolanne (review from Airbnb) | |
A truly lovely getaway! It feels like you’re sleeping in a birds nest elevated in the mountains! |
Sasha (review from Airbnb) | |
Had a great time! Extremely clean property. Well detailed instructions and host was very responsive whenever needed. |
Megan (review from Airbnb) | |
What a great little getaway. This cabin feels so remote while still being close to local conveniences and activities. The view is unparalleled and the hosts clearly care about their homes - their guidebook has everything you need to know about the property and the surrounding area. The price made it affordable for just boyfriend and me to stay the weekend, but this would comfortable hold a family of 8. Would love to return in the warm weather and take advantage of more of the surrounding area! |
Brett (review from Airbnb) | |
This location was super cute and cozy, it's a great weekend escape in the mountains. The hosts prepared us very well for our visit and were super accessible when needed. We will absolutely come back to one of the Mountain Mama locations for our next getaway! |
Morgan (review from Airbnb) | |
If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway, look no further! We wanted a quiet place to disconnect for a few days, and we loved every minute of our stay! |
Donielle (review from Airbnb) | |
We went for a quick couple’s getaway. The cabin was very clean and modern. The view was spectacular. |

Beautiful place! Perfect vacation! |
Sophia (review from Airbnb) | |
Great stay! Very peaceful to sit in front of the wood stove with a book. Would love to come back! |
Janet (review from Airbnb) | |
Wonderful location and great views! Property was very clean and welcoming. I would highly recommend and we hope to come back again in the near future |
Leigh (review from Airbnb) | |
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The views from the hot tub were incredible and the outdoor space is set up perfectly for a family gathering and enjoying nature. The kitchen had everything we needed and the kids enjoyed the ping pong table and the games. The beds were also super comfy and the internet was perfect for remote working. We will definitely visit again! |
Stephanie (review from Airbnb) | |
Great location and stay with Mountain Mama! It was our first time in Harper's Ferry and we'd love to come back some day. Home was clean and well maintained. View from the hot tub was awesome! We could barely see one house up the hill so felt very private and secluded |
Lauren (review from Airbnb) | |
This place is perfect for a quiet getaway. The house has an amazing view and everything you would need to make your stay enjoyable. Very clean, super comfortable beds, a killer view of the mountains, perks like a hot tub and fire pit, and the list goes on. The hosts were very responsive and communicative, and even checked in multiple times to be sure everything was good. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to returning again soon. |
Amelia (review from Airbnb) | |
Gorgeous spot, very comfortable house and beds, super responsive team and amazing proximity to Harpers ferry downtown and wineries! Would absolutely stay again |
Leah S. (review from Vrbo) | |
Girls Weekend | |
Perfect house for a relaxing girls weekend. The house was very well appointed and had everything we needed. The views were spectacular and sunrise and sunset enjoyed from the deck were both amazing. Great communication from our hosts- would definitely stay at this house again |
Elizabeth (review from Airbnb) | |
Views were amazing, check in was easy and smooth. Driveway is definitely steep but luckily we didn’t have any snow yet to deal with. Rooms were comfortable and we loved our stay! |
Sarah (review from Airbnb) | |
We had a great time at Mountain Mama’s place. The views are unbeatable and the sun sets right in the overlook which was great. The hot tub is easy to use and a very nice plus. The place was more than enough space for the 6 of us and it can easily fit 8. The beds are very comfortable. The house had just about everything we needed. I would recommend bringing some matches or a lighter to light and fires at the fire pit or wood stove. The place is not a far drive from Harpers Ferry and activities. Mountain Mama has an easy website to use during your stay with house manuals, attractions, places to eat, and more. Checking in and out we’re all very easy. I would definitely come back for another visit! |
Susan (review from Airbnb) | |
Excellent place for a quiet retreat or family get away. Literally everything is provided. There’s lots of space and it is super clean. The driveway is a doozy but very safe and nicely paved. Great place! The hot tub is wonderful. |
Rebecca (review from Airbnb) | |
We had a great time at this house. The house is clean, views are amazing, plenty of space inside. Would definitely stay here again! |
Evan (review from Airbnb) | |
Pictures don't do it justice! The view is epic and well worth the drive up the hill. The cabin was very clean, cozy and well maintained. |
Zoe (review from Airbnb) | |
This property was very true to its listing. Beautiful, unobstructed views down the mountain. Gorgeous, well-kept rental obviously thoroughly cleaned for each guest. The beds were very comfortable and we liked that there was a bathtub in each bathroom. We loved spending time in the hot tub which was also very well maintained. Great place for a family trip or romantic getaway. Overall I would highly recommend this property and booking with Mountain Mama! |
Gabriel (review from Airbnb) | |
Fully outfitted cabin for a weekend escape into some beautiful and secluded nature, was an amazing stay! |
Taylor (review from Airbnb) | |
Loved it! |
Token (review from Airbnb) | |
Beautiful designer cabin updated with boutique hotel like amenities and bedding. Multiple outdoor places to enjoy the limitless view over the entire valley that will ensure amazing memories. Host is available full time for any questions and helped us late at night with an emergency not related to the property. |
Ben (review from Airbnb) | |
Beautiful view and great house! We fit six cars in the driveway with some clever maneuvering and had a great time celebrating without setting off any of the sound sensors! |
Leigh (review from Airbnb) | |
Awesome home that is beautifully designed and decorated. Everything you would need as far as kitchen essentials, linen, and washer/dryer is there for your use for an extended stay. Added bonus of a little grill, jacuzzi, and amazing outdoor areas makes this place a jewel! Location is perfect if you’re looking to do some trail hiking, respite from the Appalachia Trail, or historical civil war battlefield tours! We definitely will be booking with Mountain Momma again— every house they have listed is amazing and they are communicative and really friendly. |
C (review from Airbnb) | |
I wanted to leave 4.5 stars but that wasn’t an option. View was amazing. Smart move to put the hot tub to overlook the view. Wish they put the table that’s in in the back on the deck too. Maybe add a bean bag toss game in the back. Beds were super comfy. Wish the upstairs bedroom had a door for more privacy. Also wish the upstairs bunk room had a sleeper sofa and an extra tv rather than bunks. The steps are super creaky; so if you are an early riser it’s hard to sneak out without waking someone. Please add a pizza pan and pizza cutter to the kitchen. If I had brought them I would have left them. The house was a lot a little smaller than I had realized. My fault, not theirs. I’m sure I didn’t read the description. The roads to get to the house are seriously narrow and some are pretty steep. The views are worth it tho. |
Luke C. (review from Vrbo) | |
Great spot! | |
I recommend this place to anyone considering staying in the Harpers Ferry area. Good communication with the property manager. |
Sonia (review from Airbnb) | |
Easy check-in instructions, online handbook had all the information needed for the stay including some excellent local recommendations. Location was a little more rural than we expected, but very private if that is what you are looking for. Overall a very lovely place. |
Bonnie P. (review from Vrbo) | |
Fun times, great memories | |
Mountaintop Cottage is better than presented. Beautiful view, very clean, nice appliances, comfortable beds, great showers and wonderful linens. Home away from home. Ping pong table was an unexpected hit with our kids. Fun times, great memories. |
Wendy (review from Airbnb) | |
We had a great time at this cabin. The view is spectacular and the cabin was just the right size for our group. We would definitely book again with Mountain Mama! |
Jessica (review from Airbnb) | |
Modern accommodations tucked away in the woods. Can't beat the hot tub view over the valley. |
Timothy R. (review from Vrbo) | |
Amazing house with an even more amazing view! | |
My wife and I wanted to get away for a few days and we decided to stay in this little gem. The house was spotless, the instructions for check-in and check-out were perfectly clear, and the host communicated with us very well. The roads around the house and the driveway is fairly steep so it just requires a bit of care getting in and out but the view is so worth it. The hot tub was relaxing and there are some incredible sinking tubs in each bathroom. At night, it is completely quiet and it was a pleasure to just unplug and relax. When we needed to get some work done, the wifi signal was strong and the phone signal was great too. We definitely will be back! |
Harlan (review from Airbnb) | |
Incredible views- everything was perfect and well thought out. Communication was excellent and the beds were incredibly comfortable! Driveway is steep and if your older or have small kids the stairs in house could cause concerns but other than that - outstanding stay! I would highly recommend. |
Hamza (review from Airbnb) | |
Like everything in this amazing place! Highly recommended |
Rachael (review from Airbnb) | |
Excellent stay here - gorgeous house perfectly situated on the side of the mountain with spectacular views. Great linens, comfortable beds, and quality personal soap products provided. Very cozy and relaxing and easy to get to Harper’s Ferry for hiking, rafting, exploring history, etc. Definitely want to come back! |
Amanda (review from Airbnb) | |
Stunning view and sparkling clean cottage. Our family of four had a wonderful trip! |
Joseph (review from Airbnb) | |
Wonderful experience all around. Plenty of space for our group of 7. Outdoor spots are just perfect for hanging out and enjoying the amazing view. You get plenty of privacy in this secluded spot. As noted in the house description, you take a few mountain roads to get here. Once you take the roads a few times, you get used to it and can access many attractions from this home base. Will definitely come back! |
Carrie (review from Airbnb) | |
Mountain Mama is the perfect way to spend a relaxing weekend with friends and family in a serene and colorful environment. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. It can accommodate up to 8 guests and has modern amenities. The view from the upper deck is spectacular and the town of historic Harpers Ferry is only minutes away. Once you arrive, you will not want to leave! |
Allison And Gregory (review from Airbnb) | |
This place is amazing! Stunning views with excellent outside amenities. Host were very communicative throughout the whole process. Very quiet and peaceful. The board games were great for our kids! |
Amy (review from Airbnb) | |
This house can really accommodate 8! (though we were 4) Large dining table, living room, and outdoor 'room' with the gorgeous valley view. Hot tub was clean, there were games and a fire pit - great for spending time at the house. You're about 25 minutes from downtown Harpers Ferry - centrally located for river tour & zipline companies. The upstairs rooms - twin bunks and master don't have doors (master has a doorway curtain) but the downstairs 2 twins and queen room do. Was no issue for us but if you're filling every bed make sure logistics work for you. |
Sally (review from Airbnb) | |
This property is sparkling clean, thoughtfully and comfortably appointed, and well located! We enjoyed the amazing view and quiet surroundings while also being close to everything the area has to offer. Communication with the hosts was efficient and easy. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thanks so much! |
Leigh Ann (review from Airbnb) | |
Wow this is a great find! The house is beautiful and perfectly tucked away for privacy but close to everything you might need/want! Pictures don’t do the house justice as it’s impeccably clean and thoughtfully decorated in every corner. Great hosts with easy and clear instructions every step of the way! Highly recommend and will definitely return! |
Maddy (review from Airbnb) | |
The beautiful updated home truly has the best view, Mountain mama certainly thought of everything for the best mountain top stay! The hot tub is a huge plus overlooking the amazing view. Very clean! |
Kaatrin (review from Airbnb) | |
Gorgeous views, very cute house. |
Kristie (review from Airbnb) | |
Very happy and well worth the trip. |
Kristin (review from Airbnb) | |
This view is phenomenal, and the house layout worked very well for our group of friends. We had a lovely weekend out of town with nature, hot tubs, and games. Getting there in an old(er) sedan worked fine with good weather, but if there's snow or ice or rain, it might be a little hairier on some of the roads/driveway. |
Tanja (review from Airbnb) | |
This place is heaven! The hot tub with the view is everything, but on top of that you get a fireplace, a large outside deck, a stream close by on the property, a very well stocked kitchen, and plenty of space to relax inside or outdoors. I wish the property manager had been quicker to respond to questions, but otherwise we absolutely loved our stay. Very clean & stylish decor but you still feel 100% at home. And the AT is only a seven minute drive away! |
Stephen & Abby (review from Airbnb) | |
Couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house was just as the pictures implied and the views were incredible. We would definitely come back here again. |
Amy (review from Airbnb) | |
A peaceful, quiet beautiful slice of heaven with a beautiful view of the valley and river. Everything has been well thought out from a guests perspective. |
Madeline (review from Airbnb) | |
Overall had a great experience! Had a bit of a hiccup with check-in as the process seems to be completely automated but did not receive the door code to enter in the automated text message. After texting multiple times and not receiving an answer, ultimately found the phone number to call which got me in touch with an actual person who gave me the answer! Otherwise, this view can’t be beat, the hot tub was great, very clean and well maintained. The steepness of the driveway especially is no joke! |
Justin (review from Airbnb) | |
Great weekend getaway, with an amazing view! Hosts are super responsive and the digital guidebook was very helpful! Hope to be back again soon! |
Bridget (review from Airbnb) | |
Beautiful views and a perfectly positioned hot tub! If you’re a wine drinker, you may want to bring your wine glasses or wine tumbler as the kitchen isn’t stocked with any stem ware. |
Jessica (review from Airbnb) | |
Eddie was a great host. His place is beautiful, snug on top of the hillside overlooking the river. City lights at night are spectacular view from the deck & hot tub. Eddie's place is well kept, he provides all the necessary hotel amenities. Great kitchen for making meals with all the essentials. Would book again! |
Amanda (review from Airbnb) | |
Breathtaking View. Cute little rooms and very spacious inside. Hot Tub was Amazing. Excellent little getaway. |
Kenna (review from Airbnb) | |
A very nice view. It was very clean and comfortable. |
David (review from Airbnb) | |
This was a wonderful home for several couples for a long weekend. We enjoyed hikes and trips in the area from a well-supplied, beautiful home base. Highly recommended. |
Alex (review from Airbnb) | |
Great location, amenities, everything! Would definitely book again. |
Erin (review from Airbnb) | |
This is a great, quiet property for a small group get-away. My group of moms had a wonderful weekend relaxing here. Everything was spot-on. Thank you! |
Rodrigo (review from Airbnb) | |
Gorgeous view of the valley. The photos are accurate. The house is newly renovated and we especially loved the large window in the living room that overlooked to the trees and tree canopy, felt like we were living in the sky! |
Erica (review from Airbnb) | |
A wonderful place! Tucked in at the top of the mountain (yes, it's a bit steep towards the end, but so long as it hasn't rained recently or there was no snow/ice I'd feel fine getting there in my old Accord) it offers a panoramic view of the countryside that'll take your breath away - we found ourselves often sitting in awe. The sunset is magnificent, and if you're lucky to get some clear skies the stars are a nice bonus as well, though you may not see as many as you'd think. The house was great and check-in was a breeze. Everything is clearly laid out in their book of a guide - if you have a question, trust me, it's in there somewhere. It was clean and had everything you'd need, plus some great added features like a ping-pong table with a garage door that opens out into the view. Hard to beat that. The hosts were friendly and communicated in a timely manner, no issues there. There's plenty to do within a short drive, whether it's hiking or visiting Harper's Ferry. But we found the home so cozy we mostly hung out there and enjoyed the peacefulness. Bonus tip - check out the waffle dude! Located on the side of the road near Harper's Ferry, this guy slings some of the best belgian waffles we've had here in the states. Don't fret it (Hidden by Airbnb) tells you it's closed either - his hours haven't been able to be updated on there in a while, and he's mostly always there the weekends then a couple days throughout the week. |
Darren (review from Airbnb) | |
A wonderful place. I selfishly don’t want to let anyone know about it, so it will be available for us more often, lol. It was better then we even expected, and is definitely worth the stay. Highly recommended! |
Erin (review from Airbnb) | |
really lovely cabin! gorgeous views from the deck and hot tub. lots of fun wildlife to observe. the woodstove was nice and cozy in the evenings. would definitely recommend for a peaceful getaway and would love to stay again! thanks mountain mama! |
Adam (review from Airbnb) | |
Fantastic stay!! Will be back! |
Michael (review from Airbnb) | |
This house is much nicer in person than it appears online. Very nicely appointed throughout for a rental property. It is an interesting drive up and down the ridge to the place and could see how it would be challenging in bad weather, but the views and sunsets from the hot tub make it worth the effort. The hosts digital house manual was the most comprehensive manual I've seen. It was on point and very helpful. The host were very responsive every step of the way. |
Anyah (review from Airbnb) | |
We enjoyed our weekend stay here. The house was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The view was beautiful as well. |
Rachel (review from Airbnb) | |
Our stay was fantastic. Everything was super clean, so comfortable. The hot tub and view were incredible. It’s very private and quiet. We wanted a quiet mini getaway and this cottage was perfect. Beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, a great coffee maker, decent knives, and a blender! Way more stuff than you often find so thank you for thinking of everything. We went into the town- fyi so many things are closed on Wednesdays in Harpers Ferry but someone recommended we try Shepardstown and there were plenty of restaurants and shops open in that town so we were not disappointed! Seriously a great experience. Thank you Mountain Mama! |
Jack (review from Airbnb) | |
Beautiful location and fantastic views |
Meagan (review from Airbnb) | |
The house was clean, attractive, and well appointed. The hosts were very responsive. |
Brenna (review from Airbnb) | |
The view was gorgeous and we loved being able to sit in the hot-tub and take it all in. The beds, pillows, and bedding were all very comfortable. Eddie was super helpful and communicated with us well. |
Jacob (review from Airbnb) | |
Great stay, would definitely recommend! Really enjoyed the view! |
Lorin (review from Airbnb) | |
We had a lovely stay at this home. The view was wonderful! It was very well appointed and had everything we needed; we especially liked the extra touches like extra pillows and towels, and great toiletries. The roads getting to the cabin were not bad at all, but the driveway was very steep (as listed in the description) and I found it to be intimidating. My Honda Accord did fine, just beware that the snow can stick around a lot longer up there in the mountains! Overall we had such a great time and would definitely book again! |
Beth (review from Airbnb) | |
Wonderful mountain getaway! The view from the hot tub is perfection, even when it’s snowy out there. Once you’re there you have no reason to leave. All the essentials are provided, and a special shout-out to an abundance of towels for the brisk jaunt to the hot tub, a great game library, and comfortable bed. Eddie is a very communicative host. We will definitely return - maybe with more people next time! The sleeping accommodations would comfortably fit 2 families. |
Amy (review from Airbnb) | |
Beautiful location, great view, excellent hot tub. Great outdoor space and communication with host. Close to the Appalachian trail! 10/10 would recommend |
Erin (review from Airbnb) | |
We absolutely loved staying here on our trip to Harper’s Ferry. The house was clean and had gorgeous furniture and modern amenities. The location made it feel very private and secluded, and the hot tub overlooking the mountains was a real selling point. Everything was easy and house instructions were clear. I already can’t wait to come back! |
Becky D. (review from Vrbo) | |
Magnificent view and wonderful home | |
We spent the week before Christmas here with our family. It was perfect. The house was so well appointed and the wood burning stove made the place extra cozy. The beds were so so comfortable! The views were amazing and the hot tub was nice and hot. The driveway is really steep and is not for the faint of heart. The property is very private and the neighborhood is quiet. We saw hawks and a lot of deer while we were there. Harpers Ferry is a short drive away, as is the Appalachian Trail. We would highly recommend staying at this home. We are already dreaming about our next visit. |
Salvador (review from Airbnb) | |
The host took care of everything and the interaction was seamless. The listing was as described, and checkin/checkout was painless. Highly recommended. |
Morgan (review from Airbnb) | |
Beautiful place, with great view. Very clean and well kept. |
Nancy (review from Airbnb) | |
Really nice getaway for us and our adult kids. Spacious inside, comfy beds. We slept GREAT. Fairly basic kitchen. The view was GREAT- could see several ridges, beautiful in the morning with the mist nestled in them. The view is presumably even more enjoyable in warmer weather- we were there late December, and there is only one window from the house that encompasses the view. At other times, the deck, firepit, and hot tub would be perfectly positioned. Lots of games on the shelves, pingpong table as well. |
Lauren (review from Airbnb) | |
Really nice place with a great view! Beds were comfy and there’s a ping pong table in the garage which was a highlight. |
Samantha (review from Airbnb) | |
What a lovely weekend stay, next time will be a longer one! This is a cozy spot for any season with a hot tub, a fire pit, an amazing view, and a super homey feel. Its definitely a place to go to feel relaxed. Its close to historic Harpers ferry, which we had never been to before, but would like to visit again. Super cool interesting spot! Cant wait to book next years trip! |
Joyce (review from Airbnb) | |
Such a lovely place - beautiful views, comfy beds, great linens and towels, simple but pretty decor. You’ll love it! |
Amber (review from Airbnb) | |
Better than expected! The cabin was perfect for what we were looking for; location was great, wonderful views, beds were very comfortable and all amenities were provided. The service was excellent and it was a very smooth check in/out process. We had the privacy we were looking for while still being close to restaurants, hiking, activities and attractions. Would highly recommend! |
