Great weekend in Sharpsburg

This is a wonderful modified log cabin house in Sharpsburg Maryland. Main floor has compact kitchen, living, dining room and full bath. Ground level is a very cosy living room/den with a fireplace. Upstairs is a comfy bedroom with half bath and an outside room with a daybed. Nicely antiquey furnishings, plenty of games, books, pamphlets, dog toys (!), baby gate (!). Excellent supply of good coffee. (Critical).We were here to see two plays at the Sheperdstown (WVa) contemporary theater festival- outstanding (about 5 minutes away). Had a great dinner in SHeperdstown outside at the Blue Moon Diner. Spent Saturday touring the Antietam Battlefield adjacent to Sharpsburg and hiked on Sunday along the C and O canal tow path- the Antietam creek is crossed by what was an aquaduct where the canal went over the river via the aquaduct (now the way you cross by foot or bike).All in all, a lovely chill weekend away from Baltimore. THe hosts Vernell and Tim are great at responding over the VRBO app.

A Taste of History at Antietam House

Everything was great. We loved the flowers. I was checking out all the pictures and quilts. It stayed quiet, no traffic or fire calls. It was neat for sure.
This is our puppy Shiloh. This was her first trip. It was nice for her to have room to be out in the yard.

It was such a treat to stay in this unique old house. The basement is built right into the rock hill! The house is comfortable and convenient even though it has seen so many years.

Mother/Daughter weekend

We explored Harper’s Ferry and Antietam Battlefield over a beautiful fall weekend. Neither of us are history buffs and didn’t pay much attention to it in school so we learned quite a bit at the National Parks. The home was a perfect theme and location for our weekend. It was interesting to see how the people of the time lived but with modern amenities. We are both tall ladies, (5’11”) so we had to watch our heads. Stairs are steep and tight.

Wonderful home close to many attractions in western Maryland.It’s any easy drive into Harper’s Ferry, Sherpardstown, and it’s walking distance to the battlefield of Antietam. Check out Little Brick Coffee in the morning and if you enjoy wine visit Antietam Creek Winery. The house itself was like a trip to past with all the modern conveniences.It was very clean and despite being in town it was also very quiet. Thanks, we’ll definitely be back!

Historic (Modernized) Antietam Guesthouse

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.

Lovely historic home

We enjoyed staying in this lovely home so close to the Antietam battlefield. It was full of charm and historical features/decorations. I think the rock wall in the basement along with the candle fireplace were some of our favorite features, despite so many others to choose from. I was worried about such an old house in the middle of summer, but the fans and ac units kept the house a very comfortable/cool temperature even in the middle of a heat wave. An short walk to Nutters ice cream was also a nice way to beat the heat, and the outside patio was a lovely place to drink morning coffee before it got too muggy. We look forward to coming back sometime in the Fall when we can spend more time outdoors. While I would say this house is fine for families and can sleep quite a few people with the pull out couches, I would not recommend it for those with toddlers or young hyper children given the old style staircases, lack of room to run around inside, and fragile historical items in the house. It was perfect for our quiet escape sans kids, and would be nice when our kids get a little older.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this historic house tucked into neighborhood off the main street in Sharpsburg and adjacent to a farm. We especially liked sitting on the front porch overlooking the street and fire company across the street while enjoying our morning coffee. The house had everything that we needed for a wonderful visit. The yard was great for our two small dogs.

Perfect Family Vacation

We loved staying at the Antietam Guest House. The owners are avid historians. Really neat to read their published book on Sharpsburg. The house was fully equipped with all the comforts of home. The location allowed us to accomplish epic day trips to Hershey PA, 2 hr drive (one day), DC (another day, we drove to Shady Grove Metro Station, parked and took Metro to into DC). Our final day we explored Harper's Ferry, C&O canal and Antietam Battlefield. Only wish we had one more day to relax and take advantage of the books, games, movie collection and downstairs. Highly recommend this VRBO.
