About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family-friendly, thoughtfully modernized, historic home in Harpers Ferry.

The Spy House is rich with history and has been lovingly updated by Its owner. It was built in the 1880s in the Federal style and has been adapted for modern living with an open-concept living room and kitchen.

Any cook will feel at home in the well-appointed eat-in kitchen. You can enjoy a relaxing meal around the large handmade farm table. You will find a heavy-duty gas stove, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops.

The home features three bathrooms. The primary bathroom features a vintage clawfoot tub, the upstairs guest bathroom a shower, and the first-floor bathroom features a bespoke shower and vanity. Each of the three bedrooms has a comfortable queen-sized bed.

The house is situated on Camp Hill, which is less than a ten-minute walk to downtown historic Harpers Ferry and the train station. There is no downside to being so close to the action as even on the busiest of days in town, it remains quiet at the Spy House.

One of the house's former residents was suspected of being a spy for Germany, investigated and arrested by the FBI in 1945, and soon after pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit espionage; hence the name, the Spy House.

To complete your booking you must sign our Rental Agreement (which will be sent to you electronically) and provide a copy of your photo ID (e.g., valid driver’s license or passport). With those two items taken care of, you will be sent an email containing instructions for checking in the week of your stay.

Fantastic family getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at the Spy House! It’s an absolutely perfect location in Harper’s Ferry to see and do everything. The house itself was so comfortable and perfect for a relaxing get away. The home reminded us of our former historic home and I was so impressed by the lovely decorative touches, and historic nature of the home with all of its charm was maintained with the perfect updates to make it comfortable for modern tastes. We had such an amazing experience and we will definitely be back and be telling our friends to stay at the Spy House for their next getaway!

Harpers Ferry visit
The house is wonderful. Very clean. The kitchen was nicely stocked with glassware and cookware. The location is perfect. We were just a short walk from town. Beds were comfortable, which is so appreciated! We will recommend!

January getaway
From the helpfulness of the owner to the comfort of the property, this was a perfect stay! One of the most comfortable places we have stayed -- an old house, modest size, but nicely renovated with attention to detail, from the kitchen, to the bathrooms, to the beds, to the seating to decor. Cozy even in a snowy January stay! The area has a lot to do and see. We hope to return to the Spy House in the future!

Lovely house
The Spy House was a great base in Harpers Ferry. Easy walking distance to everything - I definitely recommend Bolivar Bread - but on a quiet street. Everything inside was spotless and recently updated. The kitchen was well stocked and the den was a great space to curl up with a good book on a rainy day. I would definitely stay there again.

Cozy and historic home in Harper's Ferry
Our family of four enjoyed our stay at Jay's home. The home is very cozy and is located on a charming street in Harper's Ferry. The location is great with it being only a short walk to the lower town and AT hiking trails. The bedrooms are spacious and my kids enjoyed having their very own queen size bed. Check-in was a breeze and Jay was an excellent host. Communication was great and he would text to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect !
We have used VRBO many times over the years , and this property ranks at the top of our list ! It is absolutely perfect ! We walked to town and to many local attractions, the neighborhood is quiet and very safe. The inside of the home was spotless, and having 3 bathrooms/ 3 bedrooms was such a bonus !! We had a minor question, and Jay promptly answered our text, which is extremely important to us..If you are planning on visiting Harper's Ferry, do not hesitate to rent this home !!

Cozy and convenient!
We had a wonderful time, despite it being a rainy weekend! The house was close enough to walk to town and well stocked-we appreciated the cozy blankets, family games, and tea selections! We have 2 grade school boys and our host made some great suggestions for activities. The Aldi near by was very convenient. Thank you for hosting us!
