About Catherine and David
We have owned the Sharpsburg Cottage since 2000.
Catherine and David purchased this cottage in 2000
Why Catherine and David chose West Virginia
It is only 1 hr 15 minutes from Washington DC. It is a great get away from the hustle and bustle. You can truly relax here at the cottage. Take a nap on the hammock or unwind in the hot tub.
What makes this cottage unique
We fell in love with this property because of its location. The C&O Canal Tow Path is located just beyond our front yard. We spend time walking and biking along the path during our visits to the house. There is a small country store two doors down where you can walk and get ice cream. One of the first things we do is walk down to the river and take a dip. We are five minutes from Antietam and close to many other local attractions. We would spend every weekend in the country if we could. The cottage is fully equipped as if it were are primary residence. Our lives have become very busy so we don't get to spend as much time there as we would like, so we have decided to share our wonderful home with others. ENJOY!!

Excellent!
4.7/5 -
(43 traveller reviews)
Sharpsburg is lovely but the house is creaky and buggy.
Lots of insects were a frequent challenge. Hot tub didnt work. Washing machine doesnt work. The key box is a nightmare to maneuver. But on the up side there are some games to play eith and the yard is pretty.
Wonderful cottage for adults and kids alike.
We loved our stay at the cottage. The kids loved the tree house and swings. We cooked some meals, ate too much Nutter's ice cream and just relaxed. It was a great vacation! Thank you!
Wonderful!
The place was amazing! We had a girls weekend and had the best time. The place was very clean and lots of amenities provided. Kitchen items, Games to play, bikes to ride etc. The hot tub was awesome! Very homey feel to the place.The house is far enough out that it was peaceful yet close to town. We walked the trail along the river which is right across the street. We ventured into the next town only a few minutes away and did some shopping. Lovely little town. I will definitely be back with my family and for another girls weekend. Catherine was great at responding to any questions as well.
Quiet vacation spot
This was a great little getaway spot. The house itself is very comfortable, with a large living area and well-equipped kitchen. Both bedrooms were nice, although the downstairs bedroom is primarily for kids (which we have). The deck and hot tub were highlights, and the downstairs patio and fire pit area were also very nice, with tables and seating. The best part of the house was the location- close to us from DC, but incredibly quiet and tranquil, with beautiful views of the Potomac, and right across the street from the C&O canal. I would recommend this place, and we'll likely be back!
Shepherdstown stay
We enjoyed our weekend stay even in early December. The house was very comfortable, clean and as described. We are considering coming back in the spring when we can use the canal trail on our bikes and enjoy the river.
Cozy and Relaxing...
Cozy and relaxing, great experience will come back again...
