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. 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 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 a security camera that records the front door and 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 :-)

DOG ALLERGY WARNING: While we do not allow pets, there have been dogs in this house before. Those with severe dog allergies may want to find a different place to stay.

NO RIVER ACCESS: Although the property sits atop a cliff overlooking the river, there is no easy access to the water. It is very difficult and unsafe to walk from the house down to the water.

BATHROOM ACCESS: There is only one full bathroom and it is located on the upper level between the two bedrooms there. The main floor has a small powder room near the kitchen.

MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR SMALL CHILDREN: Certain features of the house may pose a particular danger to small children, including the steep cliff and the stairs. No special efforts have been made to “childproof” this cabin.

LOFT WARNING AND WAIVER: From the second floor there is a built-in ladder to an additional half story space above. The ladder and loft area may pose a risk of falling, especially to small children, and we recommend guests do not use the loft (not pictured in any photos). Guests agree to hold Owner and Manager harmless for an accidents that occur while using the ladder and/or the loft space.

SNOW-INS: During the winter, four wheel drive, snow tires/chains, and a car with good clearance are HIGHLY recommended in the event of a snow storm or heavy rain, as there is a good chance that a significant snow storm could restrict access in and out of the house. You need to use good judgement as to whether to cancel a trip before it begins or leave the house early.

BUGS: This is a house in the woods--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.

WOOD STOVE: You are encouraged to use the wood stoves as long as you do so carefully! Always keep the stove doors securely shut unless you are actively putting logs inside the stove. The stove can get very hot, so be sure to keep small children away whenever a fire is burning. We do not guarantee there will be firewood or fire starter at the cabin, so it is best to bring your own.

SEPTIC SYSTEM: This house has a septic system. Grease and oil must never be allowed down any of the sink drains. Feminine hygiene products must be thrown away in a trash can and not flushed down a toilet. Never flush solid trash down the toilet or into a sink drain.

NO FIREWORKS: Fireworks are not allowed.

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.

Great view
Enjoyed our stay and the view was excellent, trees were in full color for fall. Communication with property managers was prompt and courteous. House was well maintained and clean. Appreciated the coffee. Suggestion would be to have leaves swept from deck before arrival or provide a broom to sweep leaves from deck and porch. Would definitely recommend and will rebook if back in the area.

The house was very comfortable and exactly as described. The back deck was a lovely place to just hang out and enjoy watching the wildlife on the river. Very quiet and peaceful getaway.

Great property and excellent location
Property was the perfect location for our stay visiting Gettysburg, Antietam and Harper’s Ferry. Plenty of room with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Large kitchen and great patio space overloooking the Potomac River. Only drawback was the AC would not allow to be turned under 72 degrees which made for restless nights as daytime temps were close to 100 and nighttime high 80’s.

Stayed in Mountain Mama’s cabin for three nights with my brother to share some precious time. Our cabin far exceeded expectations…clean, well decorated, river views watching bald eagles fly by ….all excellent.

Wonderful River Getaway
Lovely location, great cabin, and easy check-in. This was a wonderful stay between the good service and the place itself. We had two lovely evening fires and enjoyed watching eagles and deer on the deck. Each bedroom was lovely and the design of the place is great. Would definitely return.

Weekend with friends
It was a wonderful time with my friends ❤️ We had breakfast and lunch outside with a beautiful view of the river. Very peaceful surroundings with birds singing and fresh air. The house was very comfortable and beautifully decorated. I loved how everything is so organized bowls, plates, glasses and pans. Easy access for everyone. We felt spoiled with the golden forks, spoons and knives. We cooked and used the stove (fireplace ?) If you like to relax and if you enjoy nature this is the perfect place for you.

This place really didn't fit the neighborhood. It was further to Harpers Ferry then I hoped. The house was beautiful and quiet. There wasn't much to do in the area. But if you want a relaxing quiet place then this is the place.

Great getaway spot
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Peregrine's Perch - Cliffhanger! The view is the gem of this place! Loved the coziness of the cabin. The kitchen was fantastic and seemed recently updated. The bedrooms were very comfortable and clean. The only downside was that there was no shower/bath on main floor. I would highly recommend this place especially for scrap book enthusiasts like us. Plenty of space to work, relax, plays some games, and reconnect with friends. would defnitely go back.

Great view, great feels!
This property was nicely redone with a modern mountain feel. The place wad 3 great bedrooms, a nice kitchen, and a comfortable living room and kitchen table to socialize with our friends. The view was amazing and provide a nice back drop while we e joyed our morning coffee. My friend and I ran the JFK 50 miler and this home was in a great location! The only thing we didn’t use were the outside amenities, deck and fire pit, because of the low temps and race, but the set up looked great for a staff with some warmer weather. We might need to come back and check it out again! Communication with the owners was quick and easy throughout the entire process. Thank you Mountain Mama for great place to stay and rental experience!

Lives up to its name!
Delightful getaway close by yet removed from the bustle. Experience was even better than described, perched artfully along rock outcroppings above the Potomac. Delicious setting, comfy beds, cozy and very spacious. Loved the deck, the kitchen, the Vermont stove, and the public spaces. Also appreciated the honest assessment of the property by Mountain Mama and their attentiveness! We’ll be back 🍁5 stars!
