  My husband and I stayed there last September and had a great time! We saw deer walk through the yard every evening, and some wild turkey. The chalet was very clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. We played some rousing games of ping pong, enjoyed the hot tub and jacuzzi. We watched the moon rise every night, very beautiful. We made s'mores and sat by the fire pit. Berkeley Springs is a nice little town, very friendly with unique stores and art galleries. Nearby Cacapon State Park has skeet shooting, which was a lot more fun than I ever thought it would be. Turns out I'm a natural, ha ha! Also hiking, boating, swimming, and horseback riding. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. Love this place and hope to come back someday!

  The Chalet in Berkeley Springs was a classy get away for winter break. With great scenery and a warm campfire outside we always felt cozy. When it got too cold outside we went in the hot tub or played games near the fireplace. The bedrooms were spacey and had grand furniture. The Porch had a Tiki bar where the adults could stay while the kids were swinging on the hammock right by the porch. The Basement includes a ping pong table when flipped over a pool table, it was perfect for evening entertainment. There are also games located around the house such as cards, Candyland , Clue, Apples to Apples and many more. There are many TVs – in fact there is almost one in every room. The TVs get many adults and kids channels and show movies hourly. Outside feels the best of all! The wind blowing the trees whistling on the back of your neck filled with cool weather is an amazing feeling! Taking walks will really brighten the mood of any day. The cabin is located right outside of town where you will be greeted by the cozy local shops and elegant diners. I had a great time with my family and I cannot wait to go back sometimes in the summer!

  Two families with small children spent the week at this perfectly private mountain getaway. There is enough to do around the area so that you don't get bored, such as swimming at the beach at Cacapon State park, wading the springs and Roman baths in Berkeley Springs, eclectic shopping at the springs, and plenty of local geocaches on beautiful trails. We found a local herbalist at the Berkeley Springs Farmers Market on Sunday Morning and subsequently visited her place, Quail Hollow Farm. Such hospitality! Met the owner, Jackie, on arrival, and received a phone call on the last day to make sure everything went well. An understated amenity- the deck has a gate so that the little ones could play outside without us having to worry where they got to. This house fits three families in a way that allows plenty of privacy for each, yet has spacious gathering areas for games, tv watching, or just plain chatting and board game playing on the side porch. The only thing "missing" is internet access, but that is quite the point when you visit this sanctuary. Highly recommended.

  My family has been going to Berkeley Springs for family reunions since 2000. We started out in humble beginings, staying at two of the cottages in Cacapon Park. We stayed there for 3 years, then started staying in Vacation Rentals by Owner. This is by far the best all around accomadations we have ever had, the cleanest, the most comfortable (beds were great), and easy to get to, close to lots of things to do. Me, I just wanted to relax, and it was great. The scenery is magnificient! We will highly recommend this great home. There were 13 in our group this year. We normally have 5 other people, but lost one Aunt in 2009 while on vacation in Berkeley Springs. We now have one who has Parkinson's and cannot travel, so our group has gotten smaller. But that is life. Every thing we needed was there, except our food. We cook lots of southern meals, and had all the kitchen tools we needed. We always carry a few things, like large pots, a griddle for pancakes, and an iron frying pan for frying chicken. We eat very well! We finish up our stay by all having breakfast at the Cacapon Lodge. They always remember us! We left with very fond memories, and a desire to return in the fall 0f 2012! For my family I thank you for providing a perfect retreat in the most wonderful mountains God created.

  Eight of us traveled to Berkeley Springs for a long weekend in mid-March. The home was very clean and comfortable in an idyllic setting. The view from the back deck was breathtaking, we all enjoyed morning sunrises while listening to the many different bird sounds (including wild turkeys!). The hike on the property to the creek and meadow clearing was worth taking, we saw groups of deer springing through the meadows.. a very pretty scene. The evenings were spent in the hamock, around the fire pit and relaxing in the hot tub. The house was the perfect size for gathering as a group, or finding a quite spot for private time. The beds were notably comfortable and we all felt well rested. The owner was very informative and easy to work with. We loved our stay at this home and would highly recommend it.

  We loved this place there were three couples in our group so we all had our own king size bedroom and bathroom. The view was great from the deck and the hot tub, each day we were there the deer would come and feed in the side yard. The trail that is on the property is a great little hike. The place was very clean and well maintained,every thing was as advertised. It is a very private location. We have all stayed at other cabins and homes in several states and we all agreed this was one of the top picks out of all of them and we even missed the peak fall colors but the wonderful chalet made up for that. We all feel you can not go wrong if you book a vacation or a weekend at this lovely location which is close to a lot of nice attractions. Berkeley Springs is a nice place to spend a day, we also visited the paw paw tunnel and had lunch at the Panorama cafe. Shepherdstown was a great place to visit if you go be sure to have lunch at the pub in the middle of town the people there were great and we really liked the outdoor patio. So if you are looking for a great place to spend time with friends or family(kids would like this place also) look no more this place is it. Thank-You Jackie From Bob Sue Paul Amy Frank and Janelle.

  Our large group of 13 had a fantastic, week-long vacation at this wonderful chalet! I highly recommend this home! It was spacious, modern, comfortable, very clean, well designed for children & seniors, and loaded with activities to keep everyone busy & happy from my three & five year old children to my teenaged nephews. The house has wonderful gathering areas on the screened-in porch or wrap-around deck & paver patio below, a hot tub, pool table/ping pong, and fire pit. The property is very private, yet only a 10 minute drive to Cacapon State Park for golfing, swimming, paddle boating, horseback riding or hiking. The nearby town of Berkeley Springs was charming with a nice touch of history thrown in for our July 4th getaway. The owner was very attentive and helpful, even scheduling a private observatory outing for our group. You can't go wrong with this home rental! Its a great family getaway.

  Every year a group of friends and I stay at a cabin in Berkley Springs for New Years. We have stayed in a number of other cabins (all lovely) but this was by far everyone's favorite! The chalet is beautifully decorated, spacious without losing it's cozy feeling and has a great kitchen which is wonderful if you are cooking for a group. We had a tremendous time and loved everything from the comfy beds and ping pong to hiking down ridges and star gazing in the hot tub. If you are looking for an exceptional place for your next stay I can't recommend this spot enough! We'll be back for sure.

  What a great time! Even in early December, when it was really too cold to be out for long and use the excellent outside facilities, we had a great family get-together and delayed Thanksgiving. There was plenty of room for the eight of us; each couple basically had a private bath, and we made good use of the brand-new kitchen, the game room and the electronics. We had one great night of stargazing over the weekend, and enjoyed visiting Berkeley Springs and Hancock, MD, including the C&O canal. Mostly we just cooked, ate, and enjoyed each other's company, with the spectacular views in the background and occasional walks down toward the hollow. Thanks again for your help and excellent preparations. We'll be back in warmer weather or snow season!
