loved the cabin but not its upkeep

I loved the cabin it was very nice but have a few complaints about the up keep.. The front step leading to the cabin was very weak and the doors to deck and the one in basement would not lock had to use a board to keep someone from coming in. couldnt raise the windows in the downstairs as the screens had large holes in them, a lot of spider and spiders webs and really needs to be swept and mopped properly. I loved the lay out of the cabin and the area just wish it could have had more linens not enough for three beds and wish it had been a little more cleaner. I enjoyed my relaxing time other than this. found dog hair all through cabin and even on the pillow cases that was suposed to have been clean have my doubts about that.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for staying at our cabin. We have fixed the front step and added more linens, towels, shampoo, conditoner and body wash to the cabin. The basement currently has a wood security bar and not a board that prevents people from entering. We have spoken to our housekeeper about the dog hair issue as well.

Our family had a wonderful time and really enjoyed all of the amenities this cabin had to offer. It was peaceful,restful, and had the feeling of seclusion. The log bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept on. We brought our dogs, and though the oldest was "on his last legs", they really enjoyed themselves in the yard and especially liked hanging out with us on the deck. He passed away just yesterday, and we were happy that one of his last experiences was enjoying a last vacation with us. Thanks for a lovely time!!!Did you find this review helpful?

My husband and I along with our little dog sammie spent a week here last August. The cabin was quite nice, very comfortable and provided all the things we needed. We enjoyed the large DVD collection and watched a new movie every evening. We enjoyed the shops and restaurants of Berkeley Springs and even tried the mineral baths. We also took some day trips and our favorite was to Winchester VA less than an hour away. I would definitely recommend a stay in this lovely relaxing cabin!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

This cabin was extremely well equipped with games, dvd, cable, Playstation, foosball. Behind the cabin are beautiful woods with a lovely stream running through it. The beds and all the furniture was super comfortable and the kitchen looked great too - we did most of our cooking on the outside gas grill. The weather was clear and cool and we enjoyed ourselves greatly. Our dog loved fetching in the lake in Cacapon State Park ten minutes away.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

I loved the cabin. My only small complaint is that is was a bit dark. A second floor lamp next to the sofa would be so nice. But the cabin is comfortable and we would go back.... but please add a second light. The movie selection was great and the beds were very comfortableRecommended for: Families with young children, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+.
Owner response: Thank you for staying at our cabin. We have added two additional light source next to the sofa.

I loved the location and house. The TV was quite hard to figure out and we never got the DVD players working. The grass was 2 feet tall, so for our kids and dogs to use the back yard..I had to cut the grass first thing upon arrival. The gas for the grill was empty, i had to go buy a new one to use for our dinner. The rooms were nice. The AC units were not installed in the windows and it was hot as can be the weekend we were there. The arrival and entry to the unit was easy. The reservation process was smooth. We really enjoyed Cacapon park, the swimming was great! THe horse back was fun too and affordable.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you for staying at our cabin. We have added a new more user friendly DVD player. As for the grass and AC units, there was a miscommunication with our handyman. We make every effort to make our guests have a relaxing vacation.

My girlfriends and I spent a wonderful weekend at this beautiful cabin. The photos don't do it justice. The cabin was spotless and had everything we needed. Loved sitting out on the back deck and watching the sun rise over the trees. The cabin is not too far from town, but far enough that you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The kitchen was spotless and the appliances are top notch. We had the most wonderful time in the cabin and made many wonderful memories. We can not wait to come back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2006
About the owner: We are in our 30's married and live in the D.C area. We love for you to be guests at Retriever's Retreat.
Why the Owner Chose Berkeley Springs:
On our first visit to Berkeley Springs, we were drawn to the character and charm that the town offers, and we soon found ourselves in the office of a local realtor ready to make an offer on a cabin near Cacapon State Park. The cabin had “good bones” but had been neglected by the previous owners. We spent the next year renovating “Retriever’s Retreat” and making it into our haven from our hectic schedules and pace of life in DC. Soon thereafter, Claudio found another home in need of some TLC, and we quickly began work on “Jack Russell’s Ridge.” Our third home, “Collie’s Centennial” was completed in the summer of 2010. As pet lovers, we are pleased to be able to share our pet-friendly homes with your family, and we hope that your time in Berkeley Springs offers you a chance to enjoy the company of family and good friends.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin:
This is a beautiful three-story log cabin with superb amenities. Sleep in our plush beds; enjoy satellite TV on a flat-screen television with surround sound; toast s'mores over the campfire; prepare a gourmet meal using our modern kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances; enjoy the quiet surroundings and wake up to the peaceful sounds of nature. Our cabin is pet-friendly, and we have a perfect backyard for dogs to run and play. The log cabin is very close (within 2 miles) of Cacapon State Park. A 6,000 acre park where there an incredible amount of activities to do like: tennis, basketball, lake beach, fishing, hiking trails, 18 round golf course, horseback riding, overlooks and much more. The cabin is within 10 miles from downtown Berkeley Springs.
