About this property

Historic Tip of the Hill, ca 1762, just outside of Purcellville

Location, location, location: in the heart of Loudoun County's wedding and wine country.

Relax and unwind in this beautiful historic home that is located just outside of the town of Purcellville. Western Loudoun is bustling with things to do with its many wineries, breweries and restaurants. This is the perfect home to stay in if you are hosting a wedding or just a guest at one of Western Loudoun's incredible wedding venues. Rehearsal dinners or next day brunches would be available for an extra event fee. Outdoor activities are just across the street with Franklin Park and its walking trails, pool and frisbee golf course. Hiking on the Appalachian trail, tubing on the Shenandoah River or sightseeing in nearby Harper's Ferry are just a few of the activities that are at your doorstep.

Tip of the Hill is an oasis to be enjoyed and lived in. The original part of the home was built in 1762 and you can feel the history around you. One of the great features of the house is enjoying the outdoor patio which was built around the original summer kitchen, where meals were cooked over the fire in the summer months. The stonework is so incredible that you can't help but stare at it and appreciate the art and beauty.

Tip of the Hill is located on 10 very private acres. Even though the home is over 250 years old, it lives like a modern home with central air, updated baths with marble tile and a gourmet kitchen. There is Xfinity wifi, a flat screen TV, DVD's, puzzles and board games. You will find 1 queen size bed and 2 full size beds with luxurious linens. If cooking at home is what you are after, everything that you need is there to cook a gourmet meal. No need to stress about cooking because some of Loudoun's best destination restaurants are an easy drive away. The patio also features an outdoor gas grill. Don't let the one full bath scare you off because everyone will be fighting over the outdoor shower. This Zen like oasis has a huge rain head shower with hot and cold water. If you have pet allergies this might not be the house for you. There is a golden retriever that lives in the house when it is not rented. Bedrooms are located on the second level and stairs are not for the mobility impaired.

Owner is a licensed realtor in Virginia.

We had a wonderful stay at Tip of the Hill. The home and grounds are beautiful. The beds are very comfortable, and the shower is refreshing. We loved our mornings on the porch, and the evenings in the cozy den watching TV. The location was in good proximity to Old Luckett’s Store, Harper’s Ferry and Museum of the Shenandoah. We enjoyed wonderful local cuisine. Communication was great and we hope to return!

Bucolic stay, easy access to Leesburg, VA

Our daughter's wedding was held at a beautiful venue in Leesburg. We were desiring a wonderful spot for us to stay before and after the wedding, including the "morning after" brunch. This home was warm, comfortable and inviting. Outdoor fireplace lends itself to great family gatherings. Most likely we will plan to stay here again whenever in the area.

Great Hideaway in Purcellville

I really enjoyed my stay at Tip of the Hill. It was a great location, only a couple of miles from downtown Purcellville and about 10 to 15 minutes from a bunch of local breweries. The house bathroom and kitchen were nicely renovated. The outdoor patio was awesome, we were outside for most of our stay. I had some minor nitpicks, the gas grill's lighter didnt work so you had to light it manually and the air conditioning downstairs didnt match the temperature upstairs (I'm not sure if we missed a downstairs thermostat or not). The house is also situated very close to the main road so its not as secluded as you might think. I still loved the house and I would definitely would like to come back!

Quaint house for entertaining

We booked this property for a weekend to celebrate my son - was a very nice experience. The house is just as cute in person. Stairs were tough and floors were a bit creaky, but that’s to be expected with a historic home. Closer to the road than it looked on Google maps, but still a nice experience overall.

The Night Before

Loved this property and thought it would be a perfect place for my daughter and her bridal party to stay the night before her wedding and for my husband and I to stay after the wedding itself. It did not disappoint!The house and property is so beautiful, so peaceful and had everything we needed. There was plenty of space to get hair and makeup done and so many opportunities for amazing wedding prep pics. Every room, every outdoor space ... amazing. The owner was so kind to allow us to check in early which gave us plenty of time to get ready for pre-wedding events. Purcellville is such a delightful city. Be sure to stay here though! Highly recommend!

My family and I had a fantastic stay at the Tip of the Hill! We had a family wedding in Middleburg and needed a place to stay. This property is perfect for either indoor or outdoor living - we utilized the front porch or back patio each morning relaxing, drinking our coffee and host provided us with everything we needed. Looking forward to coming back!

History and Comfort

This historic home was very comfortable, clean and wonderfully decorated. It is sited on a large piece of property and, though the road out front is busy, it is not noticeable from inside the house. Although I stayed there with one other person, there are many places to hang out for a larger group, both outdoors and in, including large patio areas with an outdoor fireplace and an outdoor shower. The mattresses were very comfortable and there was obvious thought put into giving guests what they need. There are many great restaurants in the area and lots of interesting day trips. I recommend this home very highly!
