Perfect getaway spot
A group of friends and I had stayed at this location for a school event for the weekend. The house is located in an adorable, remote area. It had beautiful scenic views and one of the most beautiful ceilings. The owners were amazing as well and made the check in and out process so easy. Their communication was unmatched to any other. We were honestly sad to have to leave. We will definitely try to come back for the next time we have to come.

Adult getaway
We take an adult weekend once a year. We had such a good time. The house was clean, spacious, and exactly what we needed for a long weekend. I had to message the owner,and she was so quick to respond. We would definitely recommend the house.

Nice spot to get snowed in.
Rented the house for my 40th with a few friends. The neighbors were very helpful. The view of the river is spectacular. The house was sufficient and cozy.

Never Bored.
Was able to use the cottage as the center for a family gathering. The kids and adults found a plethora of fun things to do. From toys and books to a riverside fire pit. Lots variety for all ages. Will return!

Quiet Country House
Five women, three bathrooms; enough space for us around the table, in the main room, on the deck. Lovely view, lots of deer, quiet neighborhood. Central to the activities we had planned.

Great trip
The house was clean and as described. The view from the deck was beautiful and I only wish we were there a little later in the season as the view of the autumn leaves will be spectacular. The s’mores welcome basket was appreciated!
We had plenty of room and enjoyed the close proximity of several wineries.
Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely come back.

Great Property
The property was incredibly comfortable for the 8 of us (4 moms and their 4 teenage sons) with plenty of space and bathrooms. It was clean and homey. It was perfectly situated to all the things to do in the area including tubing, white water rafting, movies, and wineries. The host was attentive and answered questions as they occurred. Loved staying at this property and would do so again.

Serenity Amongst the Chaos
Proximity to many activities and comforts of society while nestled within the protective peacefullness of nature; exactly what we needed. Daily visits by the neighborhood deer and wild turkeys all around was good to see while heading out or coming back from wineries, hiking, cayaking, Harpers Ferry or Charles Town. Our hosts ensured we had everything we needed and replenished firewood within a couple of hours of asking where to get more. The house has a good layout that allows kids their own space while the adults can get a break while taking in views of the river. Highly recommend this property and will return if we are in the area again.
