About this property

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming Cabin in the Woods with River Access

Escape to your own private cabin nestled on three wooded acres close the Potomac River. Just an hour or so drive from metro DC, let West Virginia's country roads take you to the place you belong.

The cabin is designed to let you unwind and leave your stress behind. You'll be pampered with all the comforts of home while a natural wonderland awaits just outside your door.

Access to our amazing private riverfront is less than 200 yards from the cabin. Enjoy 150 feet of shoreline that's reserved exclusively for you and the guests at our adjoining riverfront property. This picturesque, slow-moving stretch of the Potomac is ideal for fishing, kayaking, or relaxing on an inner tube.

Built in the 1940’s, this vintage cedar-shingled cabin is tucked away on three wooded acres. Beautifully renovated inside and out, you'll appreciate the spacious comfort as well as luxuries like the tiled walk-in shower, rainfall showerhead, and heated floor.

The open-concept main level includes a large, well-equipped kitchenette with dining area, spacious living room, and bedroom with a queen bed. The cozy loft features two twin beds.

The kitchen includes microwave, convection toaster oven, blender, toaster & refrigerator. A portable, single-burner induction cooktop is available, along with minimal induction-compatible cookware. Complete coffee and tea station including locally roasted whole beans, grinder, Chemex and electric kettle (traditional coffeemaker too). There is not a stove/oven.

The cabin also features a cozy west-facing front porch with rocking chairs, and a shady side patio with table/chairs, fire pit and gas grill with side burner. A few pots & pans are available for use with the grill.

INTERNET: Our Wi-Fi internet is fast enough for streaming Netflix, etc. on the Roku TV. There are occasional outages.

It's just a 5-mile drive to quaint and charming Shepherdstown, and 10 miles to fascinating Harpers Ferry. History lovers will appreciate the close proximity to Antietam Battlefield, Harpers Ferry National Park, and many other Civil War sights. Fantastic hiking, river rafting, and biking along the C&O Canal await the adventurer.

Within a 10 mile radius you'll find plenty of options for groceries, shopping, and dining.

CELL SERVICE: In this rural area cell coverage is very limited. We have Wi-Fi internet so you can use your phone with Wi-Fi calling.

Cute cabin
We enjoyed our stay in the cabin, only wish it was off the road a bit more. Owners had great communication throughout. Only issues- no wash cloths and slight musky smell but we still enjoyed stay!

Perfect weekend getaway
This property was perfect. I misread (completely my fault and thought it was river facing) but access was just perfect. The cabin had everything we needed and was comfortable. Loved the few mid-century touches and the heated floors in the bathroom. Close enough to town but just far enough out to enjoy the quiet.

Amazing Stay Near Shepherdstown!
We had a fantastic four-night stay at this beautiful cabin. The location is perfect, just a short drive from Shepherdstown and Harper's Ferry and only a 2-minute walk to the river, which made it easy for us to explore the area. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and wonderfully appointed with thoughtful touches. We especially loved the morning coffee setup, comfy bed, and clean, modern bathroom. The amenities were spot on, with a Roku TV for relaxing evenings, a fire pit (with provided wood!) for some great outdoor time. The cabin was easy to find and beautifully decorated. Overall, it was the perfect getaway, and we can't wait to come back!

Cozy getaway
Enjoyed immensely, very clear info given before & on arrival. Cathy & Bryan add nice touches to the cabin. Our 2 dogs had fun & appreciated water bowls. Sightseeing was convenient, will definitely stay again when in area. Quiet sitting on the porch at night, saw quite a few deer. Liked relaxing at river front!

Remote, peaceful setting yet convenient to activities and restaurants
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin is in great shape, very comfortable, so tastefully decorated, and I in particular loved the lighting in all the rooms. Lots of attention to detail, including doggy water bowls. We had no issues at all with Wifi or using our phones. The river is a short walk down the road. This is a very peaceful setting except for the occasional fast car/truck. The cabin does sit close to the road. We were a little hesitant because of the property having no oven, but between the microwave, the toaster oven, the grill and Shepherdstown restaurants, making or getting food was very manageable. Had we paid attention to the fact that a Chemex coffee maker was available, we would have made sure to bring the right filters. We managed with the drip coffee maker, which took a while. All in all, we recommend this cabin and hope to try out some of their other properties in the future. The area is lovely.

We had a very nice stay, the cabin was very comfortable, it's only a short walk to the river. The owners are very nice and helpful. It has wifi but no cell service, so a good place to relax. I really enjoyed driving on the windy roads, it's a beautiful area.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin and atmosphere was real nice ! The only issue was the livingroom furniture was very uncomfortable. I would like to make a suggestion of putting a grab bar in the shower for old people like us. Overall we had a great time!!
