Friendcation

Our stay here was absolutely incredible! The house was packed with updated, modern amenities that made our experience even more enjoyable, especially the provided karaoke machine. The pool was a highlight—warm enough for us to take a refreshing dip even in winter! Not to mention the breathtaking views that surrounded us; it was so peaceful, it felt like a dream. The only complaint I would have is it was a lot of ladybugs throughout the house. Other than that this place was the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable holiday getaway for our friendcation. I can't recommend it highly enough for winter, and I can only imagine how stunning it must be in the summer!

Perfect in Every Way!

We had such a wonderful time staying at the Blarney House in Harpers Ferry! The house was exceptional and everything about it was perfect. The host was phenomal and every detail was carefully planned from the beautiful fresh flowers that greated us upon our arrival to the beautifully arranged bedrooms with Kuerig coffee pots in each room. The pool was a hit with everyone in our family as well as all of the games and toys for small (and large!) children. Every question we had was answered immediately by the host and caretakers. We would and hope to make another trip back to The Blarney Home! Thank you Lauren and Rebekah for helping our family have a fantastic vacation!

Wonderful Weekend!

Absolutely beautiful property! Quick and easy communication with the property managers, who are on site to assist with any issues. There were two short power outages in Harper’s Ferry and the managers provided quick updates and emergency lights (with batteries). House itself is gorgeous and well stocked with a big fridge, cooking basics, shower minis, pool towels, and even a karaoke machine. Tons of places for people to sleep who didn’t want to share the bunkroom. Outdoor dining with that view is killer!

Gorgeous property, amazing trip

We stayed here for a girls weekend and had the absolute best time. The pictures do not do the view justice, it is absolutely incredible. The property had everything we needed with extreme attention to detail. It was so refreshing to not have to worry about linens, paper goods, and coffee. The owner was responsive and helpful with recommendations. We loved our trip from start to finish and would love to stay again one day!

Incredible Getaway

We had an amazing time at the Blarney Estate! The pictures do not do the property justice. The home and view are breathtaking. And the host and caretakers are very communicative and accommodating. The house is fully equipped with everything you would need. Also the kiddos had a blast! The house had plenty of toys for them to play with and there were chickens on the property for them to meet and feed. Of course the pool was a hit as well. Would definitely love to come back here in the future!

Perfect Family Getaway

This property and location was nothing short of perfect. We were within easy driving distance of major national landmarks in Washington, DC, and Gettysburg, PA, but also secluded enough to be away from "the noise." The view was spectacular, and the house's amenities ensured that everyone's needs were met. This is one of the better and more memorable vacations that my family has experienced.

Bachelorette blast!

A group of us threw a bachelorette for my sister at this property on memorial day weekend, and it was fantastic. There were 12 of us in total and it fit and slept us all very comfortably. It is a short and easy drive into the town of Harpers Ferry, but we honestly would have been just as happy not leaving the house! The view is spectacular, the pictures don't do it justice. Definitely recommend for large groups!

Fantastic getaway!

Our group stayed at this lovely property for a "girls' weekend," and it was perfect in every way. Peaceful, spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated...and then there's the view! Absolutely stunning. Lauren was a fantastic host. Commuication was excellent, and the caretaker was flexible and helpful when members of our group left a couple items behind. We plan to return next year and add an extra day, as we would definitely appreciate more time at this place!

About the host

Hosted by Lauren Seaton

Host profile image
We bought the Blarney Estate during the height of COVID, when working from home became a reality and we were no longer tied down to one specific location. We found the listing online and immediately fell in love with the house and the view. For the next year we worked tirelessly to renovate the estate and make it what you see today. Halfway through this process, after countless visitors, contractors, friends and random strangers told us we ought to turn the house into a BnB, we decided to go for it!

Why they chose this property

The house is 5,000 sqft and sits on 11 private acres of land. It has an indoor heated pool and views of the Potomac and mountains from almost every room. The decor and furniture is soft and warm, and our focus is on comfort and refuge.

The front of the house has a big open lawn, perfect for playing games and running around. We have rocking chairs on the covered porch overlooking the front yard.

The side yard has a small playground with two swings and a slide. Play at your own risk, and please no adults on the swings/slide, as it is only rated for up to 150 lbs. In the summer months we have wild raspberries growing behind the playground and are available for all to enjoy.

The back of the house has a terrace with dining tables, a sitting area and a charcoal grill. The terrace leads to the screened patio with a large, comfy couch, table, fan and swing. The Blarney Tiny House found in the backyard has a number of yard games available to use, just please return them afterwards. Unfortunately, it is not accessible at this time. The backyard also has a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and corn hole boards. The entire backyard overlooks the Potomac River and the Harpers Ferry Gap. Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia are all three visible in one picturesque view.

What makes this property unique

In addition to our unique view of Harpers Ferry gap and all year round heated indoor pool, we offer a variety of other amenities:

High speed internet access provided by mesh WiFi throughout the estate.

All rooms have smart TVs with complimentary Netflix, Hulu/ESPN+, Disney+, Curiosity Stream, and Peacock subscriptions in every room. Additional installed apps include HBO MAX, Apple TV, Prime, and Youtube installed if you have an existing account.

Complimentary toiletries are provided and we do our best to provide you with a luxury experience.

We have a portable Bluetooth speaker and microphone in the family room for use by guests who dream of being a super star.

Books, games and toddler toys are available throughout the house.

Amazon Alexa digital assistant devices are located throughout the house and have Unlimited Music subscriptions, which allow for a variety of fun and useful things you can do, such as:

“Alexa, what’s the weather in today?”
“Alexa, lights on/off” - toggle lights in room or area you are in
“Alexa, dragon on/off or pool lights on/off” - toggle pool spotlights / fountain

All indoor and outdoor lighting come on every day around dusk and turn off again around dawn. You can also control the lighting via the Alexas and a full list of useful voice control commands is available on a printout in the kitchen.

Our caretakers have chickens, ducks, and turkeys and love to show our younger guests how to feed them, just ask!

Should you find you need something else for your stay, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the hosts or caretakers. If at all possible, we will try to accommodate your requests. Our goal is for you to have everything you need for your stay.

NOTE: Your safety and privacy matters. This property features 3 actively recording cameras, located at the front and side doors and facing the driveway. The cameras do not look into any interior spaces and all Alexa devices can be disabled upon request or unplugged by guests.
