We are also a stone's throw to all of the wonderful restaurants and shops, such as the Bolivar Bakery, The Anvil Restaurant, The Barns at Harpers Ferry, and The Gilded Flea Antique Shop. Once ensconced at The Penny Postcard House, you will be able to walk to all of the local sites, if you so wish. We also have parking for up the six cars in a large backyard parking lot and driveway. Wild & wonderful isn’t just a motto here in Harpers Ferry. We are adjacent to the national park protected wilderness area, and the wildlife hasn’t heard about property lines yet! You may see wild animals on the property during your stay. In the early morning and late afternoon, deer will stroll over from the national park to graze on our grass. Possum and raccoon will roam the alleys looking for a snack. You may even see a snake or two or a big bug. These critters are all part of our ecosystem and we treat them with respect and caution. Like the old adage says, “look but don’t touch,” but our furry friends do make pretty good photo subjects.
