About this house rental

Experience the natural beauty and comfort of The Cacapon River Lodge — an extra cozy, private 5-acre river mountain cabin. Nestled along the gorgeous curves of the Cacapon River and hidden among lush West Virginia mountains, this waterfront oasis offers both relaxation and exploration.

Sip coffee and watch birds drift from the towering sycamores lining the river. Enjoy lunch al fresco on the treetop deck spanning the entire length of the house. Put a kayak in the water outside your back door and drift with the current while winding toward the Potomac. Enjoy a beverage next to the dancing deck firepit as the sun sets over the soft peaks and the kids play ping pong downstairs. Soak in the hot tub listening to the bubbling of the inky blue river drift under the moonlit mountain. This place is one-of-a kind.


THE HOME...

The Cacapon River Lodge offers the best of the past and present -- a rustic 1970s river mountain getaway that’s been carefully upgraded. The home includes all the modern amenities you expect while maximizing the nostalgic charms of a cherished family vacation retreat ripe for making memories.

The main features include: 5 bedrooms, 2 baths; high speed WiFI for streaming; enormous deck with million dollar river-mountain views; cozy screened-in porch perfect for reading, napping, and socializing; open, two- story skylit living room with exposed beams; fully stocked kitchen with electric stove and all necessary equipment for delicious meals; two refrigerators; washer and dryer; an entertainment level with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball; bar setup; board game nook; movie watching hub; two outdoor wood fire pits; gas deck fire pit; HOT TUB; and many other hidden treasures.


THE LOCATION...

Only 20 minutes from historic Berkeley Springs, the cabin is an easy trip from all directions and especially convenient for those in Washington DC, Baltimore, or Northern Virginia.

If you’re looking for pure R&R, then you never have to leave the property. But if you want to explore, you’re steps from adventure. You can swim or kayak in the river directly in the backyard, travel to the Cacapon State Park, ride your bike through the Paw Paw tunnel, fly fish, find one of the many hiking trails scoured throughout the area, or drive 10 minutes to Panorama Overlook which National Geographic ranked as one of the 5 best overlooks in the East!

For a touch of activity, Berkeley Springs is a legendary spa town -- a thriving little community of restaurants, shops, bars, art galleries, a classic one-screen theater, natural spring baths, and an abundance of artsy charm. It even has a castle!


THE RIVER/PROPERTY:

The cabin sits on 5 acres of riverfront along the Cacapon. The house is built above the floodplain and stairs lead down to a flat clearing perfect for any number of activities. The river itself can be accessed along any point of the property (be warned that it is untamed). The land ends at a public entry point which is a perfect starting or stopping point for canoes or kayaks. There is also a private area near the edge of the property that slopes into a level riverbed to place chairs, sunbathe, skip rocks, or wade into the water for a dip.


NOTE:

This is a unique cabin with two open-riser spiral staircases, cable deck railing, and outdoor railroad tie stairs. These and other carefully curated features add to the distinct character and charm of the property. But they may pose safety risks for very young children and those with mobility challenges. Please ensure you and your family are comfortable with these elements before booking. Feel free to reach out to us with any specific questions about safety and access.

We had an amazing time! We were able to fully utilize the kitchen and grill to prepare meals throughout the whole weekend as the appliances worked and there was enough cooking ware for our needs. The bathrooms were clean and the hot tub was nice! The table games in the basement were fun to use too!Some of the doors were hard to fully close and/or lock. The lock box at the front door was finicky too. There was a broken step down to the river that should be fixed as it's currently a hazard
