*In The Heart Of Antietam*

This beautiful historic home is right in the heart of the historical Antietam National Battlefield! The original footprint of this home was built in 1790 and was originally used as a Post Office during the Civil War. Later, the building was added onto in the 1850's. Seconds away from the nationally known Nutter's Ice Cream shop, Burkholder's Bakery, Captain Bender's Tavern, which has an amazing food menu, and many other local shops.

There is so much to do when you stay here. Visit the Antietam National Battlefield and see the surrounding areas from the Civil War era Watch tower; visit the newly restored Burnside Bridge, hike the C&O Canal, fish the Potomac River and Antietam Creek, visit the Antietam National Cemetary.

Terrible host — zero communication
I tried contacting the host multiple times starting the day before our stay. They never responded to a single message. I was extremely ill with the norovirus and was trying to see if we could modify our travel dates or at least have the host waive the cleaning fee, since we never arrived at the property. I never received a response from the host. We had stayed at this property before and love the Sjharpdbirg area, but would never recommend this property to anyone.

Perfect for a stay in Sharpsburg
House is clean, pleasant with comfortable beds, a serviceable kitchen and nice common space. My husband and 2 adult children were visiting family who live in sharpsburg and their house was pretty full with other visitors. This was a perfect place for us. Highly recommend.

Historic Antietam
The house was beautiful, clean and looked just like the pictures. The location was great and the town very cute. The listing said it supplied linens, soap, and a coffee pot. I couldn’t find a coffee pot, there was no soap and only three towels in the downstairs bathroom. In addition to that there was not a trash can for the kitchen. The upstairs bathroom was locked and my husband was able to get it open. I found on the bathroom floor a lid to a trash can but never located the actual trash can. I did reach out to the host but was unable to get a response. I also called the host upon check out to make her aware of the issue but her voice mail was full. I can’t really give this a bad review because the house was great but I do recommend checking with the host prior to booking to ensure everything listed is actually there. Kim

Love this place
This is our second stay here. A family of 6 and this time we brought our 2 dogs. We love this house. There is enough space for us with the house laid out so well. Its a charming house and feels clean. Fence out back but not fully completed (for dog owners) but not a big deal. We walked them out back anyway to pick up their business. Every evening, we walked to nutters for ice cream. It made for family memories our kids will remember for a lifetime. We love this house and will continue staying. Make sure to walk back and check out the towns old spring. Such cool history. House is perfectly located. About 26 minutes from harpers ferry and 34 from Cunningham Falls. Shepherdstown 10 minutes away. 5 minutes from a coffee shop, and Bonnies (also 5 min away) was an excellent diner breakfast. Stay here. clean.

This was a great historic house to stay in. All modern conveniences while staying true to the structure and history of the home and area. We enjoyed our days visiting Antietam Battle Field, Sharpsburg, and surrounding towns. Beautiful area with lots to see and very friendly people. It was nice to come back at the end of the day and relax in the house with plenty of room unlike a hotel room. Price was great also.

Very Solid Experience
This is a very solid VRBO. Pros: - Location is excellent; right in the downtown Sharpsburg next to a yummy ice cream place. It's easy to drive to and from. - Parking was good. There's a public lot across the street (no overnight there) and street parking in front of the unit. - There's a good amount of space in this unit with three bedrooms, a living room, dinning room, and kitchen. - The wifi is blazing fast; I was getting over 300 mbps when running speed tests. - It was a comfortable stay. The beds are nice and the sheets seem quality. There are a few places to adjust the temperature in the house and the system seems to work well. - Cleanliness was mostly solid; the bathrooms and bedrooms seemed well cleaned. (I'll speak about the living space in the Cons) Cons: - The main Con would only apply to people with younger kids. While the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean; the carpets in the living spaces were quite dirty. There were lots of dirt and dust specs and there was also a small lego piece sitting on the carpet, which for our child was a choking hazard. If you do not spend time down on the floor with a child, this is probably not as big of a deal. - Communication was rocky to start. I tried calling the property manager from the phone number listed on VRBO, only to find out that it is an old phone number, if you're trying to call the number ending in 8150, that is incorrect, I can't post the correct phone number in a review, but the 8150 did tell me the correct number

Cold but great service.
We had a mom’s and kids weekend and this place was mostly perfect. The history was cool. It was spacious and location couldn’t have been better. The heat did go out the day before we were scheduled to leave, which is the only reason I didn’t give it a perfect review. The property manager and staff were super responsive and apologetic and as helpful as they could be dropping off space heaters etc. I know stuff like that is also to be expected in old houses, but it was chilly! Based on the service though I would absolutely stay again and have no qualms recommending to others.

Great stay for exploring
Right in the middle of the small town of Sharpsburg, this was a great place to stay and explore the surrounding area. The ice cream shop, bakery, and restaurant are all just a few minutes' walk, and it's easy access to the next town over. The house was clean and the kitchen had all you'd need to camp out for quite a while. As of early June 2022 part of the fence in the backyard was missing, so the yard isn't truly fenced - anyone with pets take notice. One of the three queen beds needs a little more support; it's fine for one person, but two adults would definitely roll to the middle. Wifi was fast and reliable. Overall, really good place in a quiet small town to enjoy a long weekend.

Sharpsburg Gem
A sweet little house in Sharpsburg, that had everything we needed for a short stay to visit the Antietam battlefields and Harper’s Ferry. A few doors down from Nutters Ice Cream, which is not to be missed! We ate at Captain Benders which was lovely. Gorgeous homemade little bird houses decorate the porch. Only slight issue is that the bed in the 3rd bedroom is not comfortable. Maybe okay for young children but not for adults.

Such a beautiful home! It was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed, and then some. We were happy to find complimentary snacks and a bottle of wine waiting in the fridge.
