MOUNTAIN MAMA VACATION HOMES

This 1912 Queen Anne with ties to historic Storer College has just been lovingly renovated and is now a treasured Harpers Ferry retreat! The historic details have been carefully restored and updates made with period style in mind, but that does not mean you need to sacrifice modern comforts. From the sweeping staircase and china cabinet built-ins to the chef’s kitchen with gas range and Le Creuset and All-Clad pots and pans, “old meets new” for timeless appeal.

BEDROOM LAYOUT

For a full refund Guest must cancel at least 21 full days prior to listing’s local check-in time. For a 50% refund, Guest must cancel at least 7 full days before the listing’s local check in time. If the guest cancels less than 7 days in advance or decides to leave early after check-in, the nights not spent will not be refunded.

We are committed to Rent Responsibly standards. This means we follow best-in-class guidelines to ensure you have a peaceful, safe and memorable stay with us. We care a lot about maintaining good relationships with our community, so we appreciate you following these “house rules” during your stay.

LODGING AGREEMENT: The guest booking the property must digitally sign a lodging agreement immediately following the reservation. The most important terms of the agreement are included below, and the guest may cancel a booking penalty free within 24 hours. If the lodging agreement is not completed with 24 hours then the reservation will be cancelled. The agreement will be sent via text message, so please be sure your phone number is correct before booking.

AGE 25 OR OLDER TO BOOK: The guest booking the property must be 25 years of age or older. We reserve the right to request a photo or scan of a government-issued photo ID. The guest who books must stay at the property–you may not book for others if you do not intend to stay at the property.

QUIET HOURS START AT 10 PM: Our property’s quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am are required by county ordinance and enforced by local police. If the police respond to a noise complaint, every individual on the property may face a misdemeanor criminal charge and be subject to a fine by the county of $300. Failure to abide by the county noise ordinance will result in the immediate termination of the stay without refund.

Past noise complaints have always come from groups of 20-somethings. If you are booking for a group of people in their twenties and you think your group may want to play loud music at any time then do not book this property or cancel your reservation if you have already booked. Find another place for your trip so you do not have your trip terminated early and without refund.

NOISE MONITORING AND SECURITY CAMERA: We use devices that measure volume levels throughout the property (like a smoke detector but for noise) and allow us to respond to noise nuisances before the police are called. The devices are triggered primarily by sustained periods of loud music, not things like loud talking or laughter (which is encouraged!). The devices do not record audio and are 100% privacy compliant. We also have two security cameras that record the front door and rear driveway. This allows us to facilitate remote check in and monitor the property between guests.

ACCIDENT FORGIVENESS: Every stay is backed by our accident forgiveness program. Guests will not be held responsible for damage caused during their stay (up to a maximum of $1,500) if 1) the damage is accidental, and 2) the damage is reported as soon as possible, and by no later than the check out time.

POSSIBLE BACKGROUND CHECK: We reserve the right to use a third-party to verify the guest’s identity and check criminal databases to finalize the reservation. Complete terms regarding the guest verification are provided in the lodging agreement, and can be provided sooner upon request.

NO PETS: No exceptions, sorry. Please don’t ask whether we can allow your perfectly house-trained, hypoallergenic labradoodle to join because we can’t 🙂

CONSTRUCTION NEXT DOOR: A new home is being constructed next door through fall 2024. Work will be conducted during weekdays and should wrap up by 4 pm each day. See photos.

LIMITED PARKING: There is room for a maximum of three small cars in the parking area along the street in front of the house. There is also paid street parking available along Washington St, but spots can be VERY hard to find on the weekends.

BATHTUB & ONLY ONE FULL BATHROOM: There is just one full bathroom for the entire house. That bathroom is upstairs (as are all bedrooms) and has a small clawfoot tub with a shower attachment. People with mobility difficulties may find the bathtub to be a challenge. Please carefully review the photos of the bathtub.

BUGS: Harpers Ferry is situated between two rivers–that means there are lots of bugs, especially in the summertime. Even if you are careful some of those bugs will find their way into the house. The best way to minimize the number of bugs inside is to keep doors and windows closed at all times. Please also carefully clean up the kitchen every night and securely package up all food.

NO SMOKING: Smoking is never allowed inside the house. You may smoke outside as long as you clean up after yourself. You may not litter cigarette butts on the deck, in the yard, or anywhere else–butts must go in the trash after they have cooled off.

SHEETS: At the end of your stay you will be asked to strip the sheets off the beds that were used and leave the sheets on top of the beds.

NO FIREARMS: Guests may not bring firearms or ammunition inside the house.

NO ILLEGAL DRUGS: Guests may not possess or consume any illegal drugs on the property, including cannabis.
