Lock Keepers Cottage on C&O Canal/Potomac RiverLocated just steps away from Dam #4 on the C&O Canal / Potomac River. (C&O mile marker 84.6) Perfect for a getaway or romantic weekend. You can hike/bike the C&O Canal, bring your kayak/canoe/bikes, fish or swim in the river. Sit on the porch and listen to the rumble of the water falling over the dam. Local lore is this was the home of a canal lock keeper or the gate house keeper. For history buffs, there was a small skirmish when Lee’s army attempted to cross dam.THIS IS NOT A PARTY HOUSE, OWNER ON SITE IN GARAGE APARTMENT.The house is a historic house built in 1841 and remodeled sometime in the early 1900’s.
