Antietam Toll House~ an historic waterfront cabin with fully fenced yard.

The Antietam Toll House (Instagram @antietamtollhouse) is a recently renovated historic property circa 1800 which sits on the bank-head of the Antietam stream, complete with a private fishing hole. The property is partially fenced and sits at the end of a private drive on over a half acre of land. This was the gatekeepers house for the original toll bridge which was burned by General Lee's army on their retreat from Gettysburg.
Secluded, yet close to amenities and attractions, this property is the perfect place for an artist retreat, respite from the city or a base from which to explore the local gems of the area. Wineries, the Appalachian trail, Antietam and Gettysburg battlefields and Ski Liberty and more all nearby. The area is rich in history. https://waynesboropa.org/history/
As this was the original toll house the new road and bridge run behind this property. While private you can expect some road noise outside. Historical notes. Iron bridge

“Ever since I was given the title of Historian from Washington Township, my main focus has been on the Monterey Pass Battlefield. However, Monterey Pass is only a piece of the puzzle when it comes to the larger picture. On Leitersburg Pike, Route 316 West (South Potomac Street in Waynesboro) stood a wooden bridge that spanned the little Antietam Creek in Washington Township, Franklin County just west of Waynesboro was burned by the Confederate rearguard during the Retreat from Gettysburg. Here are two official reports from the Union army that would eventually ford the Antietam Creek to follow be hind the rearguard of the Confederate infantry during their march to Williamsport, Maryland.
“Preparations were immediately made to carry out the above orders. Rations were procured and cooked under the directions of Quartermaster John C. Mullett, and orders were received to form in line at 3 p. m. of the 11th instant. Here, at this time, we joined you brigade for the first time, having been separated, as before mentioned, during our stay at Waynesborough, and marched down the hill on to the road; halted for the other regiments in our brigade to come into line, where we had to wait one full hour before they came into line, a delay, I am happy to say, which the gallant Sixty-eight regiment never caused any officer or brigade while in the service, being always prompt. Preparations being completed, orders were given, Battalion, right face; forward march!” and we were off for “Dixie,” our march being on the direct road to Hagerstown from Waynesborough. Outmarch was with quick step for the first 4 miles. When we arrived at the Little Antietam – a river, from the heavy rains which had fallen, had become much swollen, and was very rough and rapid, the bridge over which had been destroyed by Lee’s army, on their retreat after the Gettysburg fight, only three days before, which we had to ford -we had now advanced some 2 miles across the line into Maryland. After fording and getting everything across, our march was slow and cautious, being in close proximity with the rebel pickets, and every moment expecting an engagement. Marching slowly, the night very dark, mud deep, we came to a halt in an open field about 10 o’clock, where the division bivouacked for the remainder of the night having sent out pickets and taken every precaution against a surprise.” L. THOMAS, Adjutant-General
“Bivouacked at Funkstown; terrible rain-storm all night and until 10 a. m. July 8. But little to eat; marched on to Waynesborough, near to Maryland line, a considerable village, where we found the Sixth Army of Corps [Neill’s Brigade] of ok the Potomac bivouacked on the hills south of the village. July 9, 10, 11. Pleasant weather, and rations just before sundown orders to march; marched; forded Antietam Creek, the timber of the bridge, burned by the rebels, yet smoking; 11 p. m. bivouacked at Leitersburg, in a clover-field.” PHILIP S. CROOKE, Brigadier-General, Fifth Brigade

Quaint cottage, fun artsy vibe with antiques.The bed was extremely comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. Those are two essential criteria. Fully equipped kitchen, lovely gas faux wood burning stove, comfy furniture. Nearby Waynesboro has lots of great places to eat and cool architecture in it's restored downtown area. Quiet and secluded, with easy access to everything I needed.

After exploring the town of Waynesboro each day and some evenings it was a pleasure to return and drive down the little road to our cabin of serenity and relaxation. the meandering stream was a soothing andidote to our busy day and the kitchen was adapted to all of our needs in one space. The bed tucked us in it's welcoming arms of comfort and we woke up refreshed each morning. It isn't a dream it's real.

Perfect for rest and relaxation

After a really stressful couple of weeks this property was just what we needed to reset our minds and bodies.The fact that we were able to bring our dog with us was a definite bonus. We spent most of our time relaxing on the porch with Zoey laying in the fenced in yard. Other times we sat by the creek and watched the geese and goslings swimming down stream. There is some road noise as mentioned in the description however we easily tuned it out and at night in the bedroom it was basically non existent.

Frigid Paradise

We stayed at the Antietam Toll House on the coldest night in 10 years. Outside temps were 3 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chills less than zero. The cabin provided a cozy respite to a frigid night. It is a charming home in a lovely location next to a stream. Michelle was responsive to our requests. Lots of little details of design that enhanced the stay. We look forward to coming back in summer.

Had a great time in the cozy cabin for new years. Too cold and rainy to do much outside but it was a perfect spot to get away from everything and turn the cell phones off for two days. Beautiful cabin and loved the fully equipped kitchen.

Charming!!

This place is lovely. It feels very rustic and tucked away, but it is so close to so many things! Everything about the place itself was so intentional. We loved the record player, the gas fireplace, the fan/space heater in the bedroom! We had a small issue upon arrival, and the host was so responsive and accommodating - it just made us enjoy the stay more!! One thing to note - and this didn't bother us at all (we slept SO well) - is that there is some overnight truck traffic on the bridge behind the cabin, so if you are a light sleeper, definitely plan accordingly!
