About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family-friendly, thoughtfully modernized, historic home in Harpers Ferry.

The Spy House is rich with history and has been lovingly updated by Its owner. It was built in the 1880s in the Federal style and has been adapted for modern living with an open-concept living room and kitchen.

Any cook will feel at home in the well-appointed eat-in kitchen. You can enjoy a relaxing meal around the large handmade farm table. You will find a heavy-duty gas stove, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.

The home features three bathrooms. The primary bathroom features a vintage clawfoot tub, the upstairs guest bathroom a shower, and the first-floor bathroom features a bespoke shower and vanity. Each of the three bedrooms has a comfortable queen-sized bed.

The house is situated on Camp Hill, which is less than a ten-minute walk to downtown historic Harpers Ferry and the train station. There is no downside to being so close to the action as even on the busiest of days in town, it remains quiet at the Spy House.

One of the house's former residents was suspected of being a spy for Germany, investigated and arrested by the FBI in 1945, and soon after pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit espionage; hence the name, the Spy House.

To complete your booking you must sign our Rental Agreement (which will be sent to you electronically) and provide a copy of your photo ID (e.g., valid driver’s license or passport). With those two items taken care of, you will be sent an email containing instructions for checking in the week of your stay.

For awareness, the property has exterior security cameras that may record the front and rear doors to assist with remote check-in and monitoring of the property between guests.

Loved this place!
Wonderful stay. Great location (walkable down into town), three nice and comparable bedrooms so no one had to argue over who got which one (ha ha!), great bathrooms, great kitchen, great communication with host (although we had no issues and didn't need anything). We would absolutely stay here again. Appreciated the board games, too! Thank you!

Steps From the Appalachian Trail
What a fabulous place to stay! Charming, comfortable, and super clean. Plenty of space to spread out, a great backyard, and easy access to the Trail if you are hiking. Jay was very helpful and attentive, checking in with us on arrival and throughout our stay. Super comfy bed, great water pressure, large washer and dryer, well stocked kitchen...we would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Pristine home, great location
Had a wonderful couple of nights here for a last minute getaway. The house is pristine, exactly as pictured, and in essentially perfect condition. The location is great for walking into town or hiking the trail, and very quiet at night.While we didn't cook, the kitchen is incredibly well-equipped w/ pans, dishes, basic spices, coffee, tea, etc. It would have been comfortable and functional for a much longer stay. The beds are comfy, the linens are great, and the whole space is a great mix of charming old construction w/ very modern/new renovation.The host is very responsive and gracious, and the check-in process was simple. Great to have dedicated parking in Harper's Ferry also.The only thing I'd highlight for anyone considering the property is that the ensuite bathroom doesn't have a door, so it's open to the bedroom. Just something to be aware of when booking.We would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it without reservation.

We had a wonderful stay
Jay is a great host. The instruction was very clear. He checked on us if everything was ok. He was extremely responsive. The house was very clean. You can tell the owner made an effort in upgrading and taking care of the details. The location is great close to everything. We especially liked the Kelly farm kitchen which was recommended by Jay. Harper’s Ferry is a hidden gem full of history and beauty. If you don’t want to stay at Quality Inn or any chain hotel 20, 30 minutes away then Jay’s house is the best choice as it’s in the center of the town. We had a wonderful time.
