Wonderful time
We enjoyed this weekend away as we explored the history and adorable shops of Harpers Ferry. We loved being close enough to walk on the Appalachian Trail and into town. We loved seeing the deer off and on the whole time we were there. The home was clean and super cute inside! Thank you for this nice weekend away for our family!

Cozy cottage in West VA
What an amazing place! We had such a blast hanging out in Harper’s Ferry the week before Christmas for our mini-honeymoon. This cottage is everything we hoped for. It was perfect for just us but would also be perfect for a small family. I highly recommend staying at the Carrot Top Cottage.

Relaxing In Harper's Ferry
My wife and I traveled for leisure and were happy to stay at Carrot Top Cottage. Commo from the hosts was timely and useful, the house itself cute, nicely situated, well-appointed, and comfortable. The Appalachian Trail was a few steps out the door and we watched the same family of deer emerge from the nearby woods every night as we lounged on the porch.

Perfect location in a beautiful historic town
Harper's Ferry is an amazing location and great place to visit. The location of Carrot Top Cottage is within walking distance of every part of Harper's Ferry, including the Lower Town. The space within and around the cottage was ideal for us. It was nice for all of us to have our own space. The cottage is quaint and well-taken care of. I highly recommend it.

Harpers Ferry Gem
We could not have asked for a better location in Harpers Ferry! We loved the walkability to the river, to coffee shops, and to trails. Our only gripe is that our tired, middle aged backs could’ve used a bit comfier bed. Everything else was great!

Cutest little cottage
When me and my husband got to the cottage it instantly took us back to our childhood. The smells of the plants outside, the creaking of the screen door, the porch, the decor inside reminded me of grandmothers house. It is the cutest little house with so much detail. My boys had the loft upstairs and were so excited about the spiral staircase. Everyday there were three baby deer that would wonder up to the cottage. I give this a full 5 stars. We loved everything about this place. We will definitely be back.

Has everything you need!
The Carrot Top Cottage exceeded our expectations! The house was stocked (minus food), like it would if you lived there. They even had cooking oil, salt/pepper, and plenty of dish towels in the kitchen. Our children enjoyed the upstairs. It's the kind of room I would have lived to have as a kid. We were greeted by deer and groundhogs in the yard. The Appalachian Trail was extremely close and easy to take down into town. Be prepared for a hike back up to the house if you walk to town, but you can do it! The location, supplies, and everything was top notch!
