The best!
This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Nice, clean home with comfortable beds. Kitchen is stocked, if you want to cook, but I suggest eating at ALL the restaurants on German Street. Amy, the hostess, is a very nice woman and she’s easy to work with. She really goes above and beyond for her guests. For our stay, she contacted me to see when we would arrive. She gave us an earlier check in time. She has this place stocked. If we needed paper towels or toilet paper, she has it. She has extra light bulbs. She has laundry detergent, cleaners, soaps, shampoo and conditioner. I was shocked and thankful. She’s so thoughtful, she has earplugs on the nightstand. Amy and her husband are the BEST hosts a traveler could ask for. Definitely recommend. 5 stars. 10/10. We would/will stay here again.

Great location to visit Shepherdstown
We came back to Shepherdstown to dine and visit the record store. Everything we wanted to do was within a five minute walk. The Press Room across the street is a little gem of a restaurant. The Thai place next door was a delightful surprise. The shrimp pad thai was top notch! The house was well appointed and comfortable. When not out roaming, we were able to relax and recharge.

This house is located in the center of town, and walkable to many places, or a short drive away. The owner was helpful before and during our stay. We look forward to returning for another visit soon. This was a great place to stay during the Contemporary American Theater Festival.

We enjoyed the kitchen and living room, both very comfortable.
We spent two nights over the weekend. We were particularly pleased with the kitchen and bathrooms, Well furnished. We were mainly seeing plays, eating out and shopping. The bedroom at the front of the house needs better lighting. The outdoor lights leading to the front door right at the last step are not working which made it difficult to see at night.

Amy’s place was lovely. It was very clean and had everything we needed - I thought it looked even better than the pictures on VRBO. Amy was very responsive and easy to communicate with; Shepherdstown is adorable and close to lots of historic attractions and hiking trails in the area. Perfect place for some time away from the city!

Quiet Getaway
Immaculately maintained property! Visited Shepherdstown for a family getaway. Host was excellent communicator from moment we chose our place. She gave perfect directions to assist us in locating her property and made sure everything went smoothly. She communicated upon our arrival to let us know she was available if we needed anything. We were a party of four adults and found the house perfectly appointed. We were close to restaurants and ate at the Bavarian Inn one night and ordered takeout from the Blue Moon cafe the next. Both were excellent. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

This is our third stay at this house in the alley for the CATF. Love that is right in center of town and we can take a short walk to stores and restaurants. Also, can walk to the theater.

Friends Getaway
We had a lovely stay in Shepherdstown! The house is perfectly centrally located, but still quiet and tucked away. Ample gathering space for friends. We were three couples travelling together, and based on the description one couple had "volunteered" to take the two small beds. But we discovered these were somewhat awkwardly located, with one twin bed in a small room off the main bedroom (this was in the description), which was only accessible through the main bedroom. The other child's bed was in the second floor hallway. Our solution was to put the child's bed mattress and a blow up bed in the two huge closets in the hallway at night so they could have some privacy. This worked out for a weekend stay. Otherwise, we had everything we needed! Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry were two wonderful places to visit. We would definitely come back again! Thank you for a memorable weekend!

Went to Shepherdstown to race the Freedom's Run half marathon. The location of this house was just perfect! Walked to the check in location and to the race start and finish, which was also great for checking out some of the lovely and historical side streets in Shepherdstown. We were a multi-generational group and the house was spacious and just perfect. Beautiful house in a beautiful location, highly recommended!
