MOUNTAIN MAMA VACATION HOMES

Originally built in 1837, the former White House Inn is chock full of history and right in the middle of all Harpers Ferry has to offer! The back patio is a dream for outdoor dining, and from there you can even catch a glimpse of Maryland Heights through the trees. The front porch overlooks Washington Street and is a lovely place to decompress after a hike on the A.T. or a bike ride on the C&O towpath, both of which you can begin and end right at your doorstep.

Cancellation policy

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.

Other things to note

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 🙂

LIMITED PARKING: There is room for a maximum of four cars in the parking area, and to park four cars requires that two of those cars are blocked in by the other two cars. There is also paid street parking available along Washington St, but spots can be VERY hard to find on the weekends.

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.

We had an excellent stay at Mountain Mama’s home in Harpers Ferry! The house was spacious, clean, and perfectly suited for our group of 10. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the area.
We especially appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, which had plenty of pots, pans, and utensils—perfect for cooking meals together. While one of the dishwashers wasn’t working, the second one was a great backup. Additionally, the bunk bed had a broken ladder when we arrived, but the host was incredibly responsive and had it fixed within a couple of hours.
Overall, this was a comfortable and well-equipped home, and we would absolutely stay here again. 5/5!

This one of my favorite airbnbs. The pictures just do not do it justice! It is so beautifully appointed, totally remodeled, but it keeps with the history of the home, with architectural charm and luxury fixtures and details. I felt like I was staying at a high-end hotel, uncluttered with beautiful clean bathrooms, folded, fluffy, white towels on the bed and crisp, white sheets and bedding. We stayed with a group of six friends that all came together to celebrate my 50th birthday. The location was perfect, we walked to restaurants, cafes, shops and great hiking. We did not have to get in our car all weekend. They have delicious gourmet coffee to make in the mornings and a well appointed kitchen if you want to cook and eat in. All of the furniture is cozy, so you can sit and talk for hours, even the dining room chairs are cozy for long dinner conversations. I am so happy we stayed here for my 50th birthday, it was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for or imagined.

5 star home! Beautiful house super clean and in a nice quiet part of the neighborhood. Close to town. Easy to find. Hosts were very helpful, their online guidebook tells you everything you need to know. Perfect stay, highly recommend! Even had a sweet visitor (5-point buck) in the neighboring side yard. We are looking forward to staying with Mountain Momma Cabins again!

We had a wonderful weekend at Mountain Mama’s White House Inn. The property is so well maintained! The house itself is spacious with amazing character. It is furnished beautifully. The kitchen is well-supplied and very clean. The wifi is easy to connect to and essential! AC worked great as our stay overlapped with a heat wave. We enjoyed the short walk into town. Mountain Mama has a fantastic digital guidebook with recommendations for local restaurants, shops and things to do! Our stay in Harpers Ferry was truly elevated due to the incredible Mountain Mama hosts and their beautiful property! Highly recommend!

Beautiful old house that has been meticulously modernized. Plenty of hot water, AC works great, beds comfortable, spotlessly clean.
Beautiful, peaceful setting. Ten minute walk to old town.
Not a negative, but something to be aware of is the steep hill down to town. After a cheeseburger and three beers, that walk back is a butt kicker.
Great property. Our family had so much fun

Mountain Mama was really helpful when construction started on a lot next to the place we were going to stay. She accommodated us at a different location so our trip would remain peaceful and enjoyable. The White House is beautifully historic and well maintained. The beds in all the rooms were so comfortable and inviting, and we enjoyed unwinding in the living room after our days of hiking. We also walked to dinner at Snallygasters, breakfast at Bolivar Bread, and music at the Barn (highly recommend all). Walking in the other direction brought us to shops and a late lunch spot – and the historic district. AND we walked to our hiking trails from our AirBnB – which was great. You’ll love staying here.
