This was our second trip to the Neon Moon and it lived up to our wonderful memories. Bryan has thought of every little detail inside and out, allowing us to relax and enjoy this beautiful home.
Everything about the property is fantastic, we can't say enough! The house has just about any amenities you could think of to make your stay comfortable. The outside area is no different, everything you need for a relaxing getaway is there. We can't wait till our return visit!
The property was immaculately clean and tastefully furnished.
The grounds were whimsical and well maintained, with picturesque views of the Shenandoah River.
The owner goes out of his way to ensure that guests have an enjoyable stay.
My husband and I are sure to visit this lovely, getaway again, soon!
We had a fantastic week! It was great to be right on the water. The house is adorable and set up well for guests. The hammock was my favorite place to relax! There is an active quarry and a railroad track across the river, so we heard quite a few trains and the drone of machinery but we didn't mind it too much. We're would definitely stay again!
Our second time back and the place is still amazing. From the well equipped kitchen to the fishing pier over the Shenandoah, we entertained and reconnected with our kids and grandsons as they visited for a few days each. Neon Moon is a wonderland of lighted trees and shrubs at night. So many areas to enjoy like the fire pit for roasting marshmallows, the band shell with its bar and high top tables, the screened in porch where we relaxed and dined while enjoying the cool breezes. Great fast WiFi. Professional grade Sony Bluetooth speaker for music. Top of the line gas grill and a smoker.
In short, all the amenities we could want for a lay-back relaxing week.
Neon Moon was so much fun. House was clean and comfortable with very well equipped kitchen. Owner thought of everything to make this place a wonderful relaxing get-away. Son and grand kids visited for a couple of nights and caught a bunch of catfish from the fishing pier and some small mouth bass with a fly rod in the river. The property has so many interesting spots to hang out in from the hammock deck, the camp fire ring, the band shell, the horseshoe pit and the screened in Tiki Bar. TV's in every room although we hardly watched any as we were enjoying the fantastic outdoor lighting. Just the place we needed to unwind after being sequestered in our home since March.
Our experience was fantastic! The place was everything and more! We will definitely be back!
Could not have had better service and it was just an awesome experience!
We spent a week at this amazing property and had a great time. When we arrived it was even nicer than shown in the photos. My kids had a great time fishing from the deck and caught plenty of fish!! We are already looking forward to going back next year and would highly recommend Neon Moon to anyone who is looking for a nice, relaxing and clean place to stay. The only negative I can give is that the roads when you get close to the house are narrow and not in the best of shape, but hopefully they will be repaired. Just go slow and watch for the potholes and you will arrive fine.
Everything about this home is absolutely breathtaking, both inside and out. My husband and I were looking for a private place on the river for a vacation getaway with my mother in law and her husband. This house had so much more to offer than we could have ever wished for. There are so many different areas on the property to hang out which include the Neon Moon Cafe, the screened-in porch, the dock which sits directly over the river, the tiki bar, etc. The historic town of Harperâs Ferry is a must see. Also, There are several outfitters for kayaking and/or tubing within 20 minutes from the house. We brought our own kayaks and used one of the outfitters for their Shuttle service. We definitely plan on returning in the near future.
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property! I suggest you bring everything your going to need because once your there your not going to want to leave!!!
We loved the Neon Moon! The property is a lovely small cottage on the banks of the Shenandoah River and the view alone of the river is worth the stay. Close to Charles Town and Harpers Ferry you can do quick day trips and then relax back at the cottage and watch the tubers float by on the awesome deck. Bryan is a great host and can be contacted if needed for any help.
Highly Recommended for anyone looking to get away and relax!
The most beautiful house and yard with a lovely view.
We loved everything about this house! It was better than professionally decorated because the house and yard both are warm and quirky and inviting, with every detail perfectly addressed to delight. The most beautiful bathroom Iâve ever seen. On the one late afternoon when it turned dark and rained, we turned on the lovely outside lights and sat together and read and it felt like magic. A perfect house and yard for people in their seventies (two of them with difficulty walking) to enjoy painting and reading. We hope to be back!
My family and I wanted some time away to relax and connect as a family. Bryanâs home was the perfect choice. Very welcoming and felt like home. My children (ages 12 & 6) had so much fun and we also celebrated my 12 year olds birthday. Things couldnât have been more perfect. We look forward to staying again!
Owner expects renters to scrup toliets, shower, vacuum and mop floors, because he doesn't employ maid service. Even though house is cute I would not recommend. Also, rather remote location.
This was our favorite trip of the year! Bryan's place is absolutely stunning with SO much to do onsite! We barely left the property and enjoyed the river view on the deck. The house is fully stocked with everything you need and the outdoor space is breathtaking! We went fishing, tubing, made s'mores over the fire, relaxed on the deck and hammock, had some drinks in the tikibar/sunroom. Bryan was very responsive when we reached out. We would love to make this place a vacation tradition!!
Me, my partner and our 12 yo son from the DC area had a wonderful stay here over a long weekend. We visited Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, hiked, biked the C&O Canal, fished, and floated on the river. Close to everything. The house and outdoor patio and deck are wonderful. Very clean and owner has thought of everything you need for an easy stay. The only thing I wasn't aware of when we booked was the need to clean the house before we left. Not a big deal, and I probably just missed it in the fine print, but it took a bit about an hour to clean up before we headed home. Make sure you plan for that. All said, truly wonderful and will definitely plan to go back soon.
This was a hybrid vacation with my bestie for a few days and my own family a few days. Very very clean inside and well appointed !!! Outside needs some upkeep but overall - great place to chill and hang out. We hiked daily and grabbed dinner at The Press Room and Brix. Highly recommend both. We enjoyed our early morn and evenings at Neon Moon watching egrets, herons, and bald eagles. It was also fun watching lots and lots of tubers going down the river. Wifi and cable etc. excellent. For $*** a night you wonât get lighters, torch fluid, ice, wood, towels, tp, pt, soap, sheets, games, outdoor games, floats, but you do get a cleaning checklist bc YOU are the cleaning service. I guess have faith that those before you are good cleaners and bring sheets towels bug spray lighters games outdoor games tp pt shampoo soap etc etc There is a fantastic Aldi down the road. Overall we enjoyed our time here and Bryan was a very responsive host . The home is well cared for inside and clean. BEST water pressure too!! Bedroom with powder room has best mattress. Owner bedroom mattress âokâ. You will enjoy the peace this place provides and the relaxation it will induce. Youâll get used to the train and sump pump sounds. I hope to come back in the fall. It would be a beautiful time to visit.
Everything about this property screams relaxation - from the lovely interior of the home to the many outdoor areas, this property has it all! Directly across the river from River Riders, it was easy to wade across for access to their tubing run. You can watch the daily visits from a family of deer, roast sâmores at the fire pit, swing on a hammock or just do nothing at all! All just 20 minutes from Historic Harpers Ferry. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and Bryan was a wonderful host!
This was the perfect getaway at the end of summer! We loved this house. Well equipped to eat in and grill out and make s'mores by the bonfire! Would definitely stay again.
Things could have not been nicer!
Communication was excellent.
The wildlife was incredible, we saw deer everyday, Bald Eagles Osprey, ground hogs, beavers ect.
Visited Near by Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown and Antietam Battlefield.
Home is super comfortable, well stock with pretty much everything you need. You can not go wrong booking this place.
Oh, don't forget the SMORES!
The house is in a great location and very clean. There were many amenities and so much attention to detail. The pictures do not capture just how fabulous it is, indoors and out! We are already hoping to go back someday.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this riverside home! It was clean as a whistle when we arrived, and everything we needed was thoughtfully provided (except for bed linens and towels, but we knew in advance that we needed to bring those). There's lots to do in the area: we explored Harpers Ferry, Shepherdstown, and Frederick, rented kayaks across the river, took a day trip into DC, and joined friends for a fun wine tasting at Breaux Vineyards. Just staying home was fun too, since the property is amazing, with lots of spots to eat outside, hammocks to rest in, and a fabulous deck over the river that's a great spot to rest with a book. The only downside is the periodic noise from trains going to and from the quarry across the river. If you're a light sleeper, do bring earplugs.
What better place is there to do some writing than here with the serenity of the river and mountains.... or guitars and singing around the bonfire with friends and family.
