À propos de cet hébergement

Welcome to our home on the C&O Canal and the Potomac river, an original 1790 log house expanded in 1857, retaining its historic charm while featuring many modern amenities. The perfect place to be physically active or mellow, staying inside or enjoying multiple areas outdoors, day or night (lit with festive night lights).

Reconnect with nature! The expansive grounds have old tall mature trees, native flowers and garden-favorites, bushes, and a fire pit. Bird lovers, bring your binoculars or just watch the bird feeder below the pergola! Many species of birds visit our feeders and baths. Star gazing, far from the city lights, is another Guest favorite.

We are striving to reduce our environmental impact by restoring an American meadow and increasing the number of native plants that can be admired on our grounds. This obviates the need for using chemicals, reducing Potomac pollution, and attracting pollinators and other wild life. You are likely to see and hear numerous types of birds, insects, frogs, and perhaps even some animals and reptiles indigenous to the Potomac area. They are harmless unless attacked.

The maximum capacity of our historic house is 4 guests, the maximum capacity of each bedroom is 2 guests. The use of one of the bedrooms is included in the base price listed, the use of the second bedroom requires an additional charge. The guests need to be able to climb stairs to the entrance door, to upstairs bedrooms, and into the antique clawfoot bath tub. Tall people need to bend a bit when taking a shower.

Secluded, yet not remote, our home is the perfect base for exploring nature on foot, by bike, or by boat. The property is on the C&O Canal and offers seasonal views of the Potomac (when trees on its banks lose their leaves!) across the towpath.

The house is also a great base to explore the many close-by sites important in American history, and quaint historic little towns with good restaurants. Premium Outlet shopping and dining is also within miles.

Amazing property!!!

This is an amazing property for those that would like to step back in time and enjoy a unique stay. Vern does a great job of communicating throughout the process, and there are instructions to be found through the property for do's and don'ts given the historic nature of the property.It feels like there are little things to discover in every nook and cranny. Overall it's a wonderful place to relax and enjoy peace and quiet. The gardens are beautiful, and the porch is a great place to relax with a glass of wine or cup of coffee.

Beautiful historic home, peaceful stay

My wife really wanted a getaway that wasn’t too far from home. This house fit the bill and then some. The historic features are all beautiful and the home is well appointed and maintained. Our only regret was not being able to see the beautiful grounds in full bloom because it was winter! That said, the lack of foliage provided an even better view of the river from the porch.For those interested in the area for historical reasons it would make a great home base for exploring Antietam, but those who don’t care will also find a lot to like! The area is beautiful and full of things to do and see.

Balance of history and convenience along the C&O

The Canal House is a wonderful home! The house itself is meticulously kept with its history intact while offering a modern kitchen and air conditioning. The grounds are filled with beautiful flowers and a small garden pond. The location was perfect to enjoy biking on the C&O towpath, plus a short drive to Antietam battlefield, tubing, rafting and hiking.

What a special place! We so enjoyed the chance to stay in such a beautifully restored and impeccably decorated home. We especially enjoyed the porch—a place where our little family gathered for coffee and conversation in the morning and again in the evening. We loved the books on the garden and the antiques and beautiful vintage wood throughout. We are even thinking about how try to replicate some of the lovely gardens at home. Our main purpose here was to visit the Antietam Batlefield. That too was a memorable and meaningful experience! Wonderful hospitality!

A True Gem

This historic home has been painstakingly restored. The modern amenities enhance the stay but in no way detract from the beauty of the structure. The grounds are amazing. We felt privileged to stay in this home as it allowed us to actually feel the history of Western Maryland and the enormity of the Civil War. Our host personalized our stay with facts that allowed us to enjoy every aspect of the Canal House and the canal itself.

Canal House is Outstanding

This is our third trip to Canal house in a delight, as always, despite the rainy cold weather, “Friday was in the 70s and the 2.5-hours paddle on the river we had the whole river to ourselves, not a single other boat. Water clear as glass down to the bottom, wow! Swimming turtles, cormorants, herons on the bank. Met a few enthused cyclists at the ramp enjoying the day. “Bike ride was great, with really nice towpath condition. Loved this part of the river, and views from Dam #4. “Cozy, reading, nook in the kitchen and living room, visited Sunny Meadows nursery, Antietam, and Planck’s and Bonnie’s barbecue were all great. “Garden is stupendous, just amazing with perennials, annuals, and native trees and bushes. “Thank you, Vern. P.S. Love, LOVED back entry lock.”

Perfect location to explore the Civil War sights.

“I can't imagine a better place to explore the history of this area, and to stay in a historical home was icing on the cake. Tall people should be aware of the quirks of an older home like the slanted ceiling and the height of the shower/tub, but I'm petite and loved the ambience! By being so close to Antietam, we were able to experience the battlefield in-depth. We splurged and hired a battlefield guide, who enhanced our understanding of the maneuvers and complications of this historic event. I gained an appreciation for the bravery and the horror of that one day. In addition to all that tramping around on the battlefield, we also managed light-hearted activities, such as sitting on the porch (thanks for the spectacular weather and superb temperatures!), walking along the canal, and wine tasting at Antietam Creek Vineyard (wait . . . that counts as battlefield studies! We took side trips to South Mountain, and Harpers Ferry and Martinsburg. To provide a little balance we visited the canal at Williamsport—super interesting to go through the Visitors’ Center, and then see the lock-keepers house, the lock, elevated railroad bridge and the aqueduct. Learning about the lives of the people on the canal was fascinating. Shepherdstown was our favorite location for restaurants (Alma Bea, and Lilah’s), but, honestly, everywhere we stopped for a meal was good. Plenty to do and not enough time!

Relaxing Labor Day Weekend

Enjoyed our stay over a long weekend. A really nice historic property with character. The gardens create a tranquil setting. It was great to sit on the porch in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch the hummingbirds (bring bug spray for mosquitoes). Enjoyed an 8 mile kayak ride from Taylor's Landing to Shepherdstown (Pedal and Paddle shop). Checked out Betty's restaurant for breakfast and Blue Moon for supper (both good). New Visitor Center at the Antietam Battlefield.

Tranquil gem with perfect blend of new and old

Wow what a gem! This special home is a perfect blend of old world charm with all the modern conveniences. Being here makes you feel like you’re tucked away in your own world yet actually close to so much nearby. The owners have really done this property justice in the details both inside and out. Everything was so clean, and perfectly designed and decorated. All the little details just lead to perfect tranquility. It was exactly what we were looking for in a getaway. The house and the grounds are in beautiful harmony. It was great to enjoy aspects at different times of the day. Pictures don’t even do it justice because the sounds and smells of the gardens are so amazing. In the morning, we were pleasantly entertained by the hummingbirds and the busy bees doing their jobs. In the evening, we loved rocking in the chairs on the porch and listening to the crickets, frogs, and babbling water in the distance. We saw the most beautiful sunset down by the canal. Can’t wait for our next visit.

We really enjoyed our visit. The house is immaculately maintained for it's age. The outdoor areas seem endless and are welcoming as you stroll the walkways to the home. The home is a cozy retreat from everyday life. As a huge plus, the kitchen is stocked with everything we were looking for, making cooking dinner a simple process. We look forward to coming back in the winter.

Taylors Landing is idyllic nature getaway

This was our second stay at Taylors Landing, for our anniversary. What an idyllic location to enjoy nature -- we brought our bikes for the towpath, and the kayaks for the river, within walking distance of the house. Our first stay was in winter, and delightful. This time we saw the garden in all its splendor. The towpath was excellent for biking, and we enjoyed the fireflies at dusk during our ride. The river was incredibly clear -- I'd post a picture if we were able -- we could see the bottom and all the fish. Loved spotting the green herons and the bald eagle! Thank you, Vern, for sharing your lovely house and grounds, as well as for introducing us to Sunnyside Meadows, with its amazing ice cream and beautiful garden nursery. We especially loved the renovated lagoon and pond examples. From the warm welcome note and care to make sure we could access the house, to the obvious care of the house and garden, Vern is a great host. One of our favorite locations on the Potomac River. Our tip -- park in the back, unpack your stuff at the back door, then enter the front (shoes off) and carry it in. :)

2 days away.

The home was extremely clean. The air conditioning works very well, and there are window units upstairs if needed. The grounds are absolutely amazing and beautiful. We enjoyed the short walk down to the firepit, and sat around a nice fire for a few hours. The two things that stood out the most, which was very disappointing were the living room and shower. The living room furniture is not at all, comfortable so TV time is not something that could be enjoyed after a long day. The shower head is approximately 4 and a half feet off the tub bottom, so unfortunately, you have to bend over to take a shower. Last but least, my wife showered first, I showered second, and was left with no hot water. I respectively suggest that anyone who enjoys history, a clean home, beautiful property which includes so much lavish gardening, to stay.

My daughter and I had a very special two-night getaway at this incredibly charming property. We were in awe of the amazing beauty of the gardens and were delighted by the nooks and crannies of this historic home. The house is extremely clean (and I am picky about this!) with pretty bedroom linens, and lovely furniture. Communication with Vern, the accommodating and kind owner, was excellent. Nearby Shephardstown and Antietam Battlefield provided us with activities and restaurants. We were sad to leave - book your stay immediately!

Antietam Battlefield is less than two miles away

If you enjoy history then this is the place you want to be. First of all it, in itself, is historic. The interior of the cottage was immaculate and filled with antique treasures. The bathrooms were spotless and unique in that the wide hardwood floors were polished and squeaky. As they were in the rest of the house. The beds were quite comfortable. The stairs were manageable but if you are wearing just socks on your feet be careful because the floors can be slippery. We didn't use the stove but it looked to be Viking quality. The refrigerator worked great as did its ice maker. The grounds are gorgeous and well tended. But the pièce de résistance was its location. There are so many historical towns and sights close by that are easily reachable in a short time. Our stay was a happy one.

Hated to leave the cozy kitchen!

This home is so charming and well cared for -- we got great pleasure from noticing all the small, thoughtful touches meant to ensure a pleasurable stay. The hosts were solicitous and responsive. We were delighted to take a "treasure hunt" throughout the property -- guide provided! -- to examine all the antique and vintage items that decorate the shelves and walls. We watched an astounding variety of birds attack the freshly-filled birdfeeders. We wrapped ourselves in flannel throws so we could drink our tea on the porch overlooking the canal. And the kitchen! I could retire in the rocking chair next to the fireplaces and be perfectly happy. The location worked great for us -- only 90 minutes from DC, and we took several hikes in the Sharpsburg/Shepherdstown in addition to plenty of laze around time on the couch with aforementioned cozy throw blankets. Thanks again for having us!

The Canal House is absolutely wonderful! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our anniversary get away. The house was so charming and very comfortable and the location was great! We enjoyed having our coffee on the porch and walking the C&O Canal Towpath, which is within walking distance from the house. We explored Shepherdstown and Antietam Battlefield, which both were short drives. Vern is such a wonderful and caring host. He even messaged me to see that we got back home safely.

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Vern Clifford Falby

Vern is a retired Conservatory Professor, who taught Music Theory for over 30 years. He is very excited to become the new steward of this historic house and be able to host and share this piece of Americana with you. Vern has been fascinated with the importance of the C&O Canal in American history, and has been biking on the C&O towpath for many years now. Imagine seeing the C&O canal not only from the bike but from your house! Vern is a Premier host for for Vrbo and an AirBnB SuperHost.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

Where do we begin? The house is truly charming, preserving historic details including the log cabin at its core and offering a glimpse of simpler times and C&O Canal history, yet updated with all the conveniences of the 21st century. Then, there are its grounds and the location! The expansive grounds offer beautiful views and multiple private spaces. Are you looking for a place where you can completely relax in the middle of nature, listen to birds with a good book and your cup of coffee? Or maybe you would like to do yoga on the porch? Do some amazing star gazing far from city lights? Make S'mores at the fire pit?

The Canal House is adjacent to the C&O Canal and steps from Taylor's Landing: you can jump on your bike and ride on the towpath or take your kayak to the bottom of the hill and float away on the Potomac. And you sense American history everywhere, from the marvel of the C&O canal engineering to the close-by Civil War sites: field hospitals and Union troops headquarters, or the battlefield of Antietam. Or, if you are into visiting old towns, dining, shopping, great options for sight seeing are also close-by. There is so much to experience, learn, and enjoy!

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

The house is beautifully furnished and maintained, preserving its historic look and feel, including some real Americana, yet offers a range of modern amenities. The grounds are extensive and offer multiple options for exploring and relaxing. The location is a perfect base camp for wider explorations, be they of nature, history, dining, or shopping.
