Spend some quiet time at "Almost Heaven" in Great Cacapon, West Virginia
Location: Great Cacapon, West Virginia, USA (20 Minutes from Berkeley Springs)
Accommodations: Log Home, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)
Tired of Beltway traffic and the cell phones ringing? Looking for some peace and quiet in this very hectic world? Then look no further than Almost Heaven in West Virginia, a beautifully modern log home on 26 wooded acres only 20 minutes from the quaint spa town of Berkeley Springs. 100 miles from Washington DC and Baltimore, but you'll feel like you've gone back in time and come home to Grandma's cottage. This is the perfect place to reconnect with family and friends, as well as to refresh your spirit and soul.
Bring your favorite book and relax on the large deck, surrounded by mature trees and the sounds of nature. Enjoy the spacious screened porch for playing cards and board games with your kids or for sipping a fine glass of wine with your special someone. Wake up to the beautiful butterflies in the Summer and the explosion of colors in the Fall. There is satellite television for those who think they need it, but we recommend you take this slice of heaven and catch up on conversing with your friends and loved ones while walking through the woods!
Campfires in the fire pit are wonderful on clear nights, so bring some marshmallows. Lots of kindling to be found. Hunting and ATVs are not allowed.
Only 20 minutes to Berkeley Springs where there are an abundance of spas, restaurants, shops and specialty stores. Cacapon State Park is not far away and offers swimming, hiking, biking and guided tours. Rent bikes in Hancock for the whole family and ride along the river. The Panorama Overlook is only 10 minutes away where you can watch the sunset and get some spectacular pictures. Cacapon River access for kayaks is less than 10 minutes from log home. Golfing within a 30 minute drive.

Why the Owner Chose Great Cacapon
We love the serenity and the peacefulness of this mountain setting. The woods and the land are magical. Great Cacapon and Berkeley Springs are so close to our home in Maryland that it seems like nothing to make the short drive for a weekend getaway. There are some breathtaking views on the drive between Berkeley Springs and Great Cacapon, which make us feel like we're on vacation long before we arrive at the log home. Berkeley Springs is such an awesome town with so many things to do and activities that we are never bored. It's like being a million miles away from the stress of everyday life!
The Unique Benefits of this Log Home
There's lots of space for kids and grandkids. We enjoy the ability to have large family gatherings in such a beautiful setting. The kids love to bring tents and camp near the fire. We love the quiet times of reflection and the ability to recharge after a long work week. It's also a perfect place to come as a couple. It's very quiet, peaceful and romantic.
