    *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. Walk around Boonsboro, MD and shop in Shepherdstown, WV.

    There is a fenced in back yard for you to relax and an enclosed porch to store your bicycles during your stay.
    We know you will enjoy your stay with us!

    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.

    Historical trip.
    Was the first time to Antietam and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The house was not the Hilton but that was not why we selected it. The house was very clean and well stocked for our purposes.

    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.

    Great location
    Historic old home with great location for visiting Harpers Ferry and Antietam. Nutters Ice Cream as great as advertised. As previously noted by another guest, one of the beds not comfortable for adults.

    Relaxing Vintage setting
    A great place and value if you’re looking for a home base while exploring the area. Close to battlefields and the Appalachian Trail. It was cool to stay in such a piece of history.

    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.

    Couldn't reach the host about the internet not working. No response on messenger or phone calls. Was so angry that we left a day early.
