River front is 6-7 minutes drive. Deck is not really accessible. Not many games, and some are broken or missing parts. Not enough dishes, cutlery and no kitchen linens at all. Bring your own firewood and laundry soap. House was clean. Beautiful area. Super quiet. Hot tub is a plus. Had a good time.

Thank you for staying at Tranquil Nights and for the detailed feedback. I’m sorry the riverfront felt farther than expected; it’s about a 6–7 minute drive and I’ll update the listing wording and photos to set clearer expectations. I also apologize the deck wasn’t accessible — I’ll have our team inspect it and address any access issues. Thanks for noting the games and missing parts as well as the limited dishes, cutlery, and lack of kitchen linens. I’ll inventory and replace broken games, add more tableware, and provide kitchen linens going forward. I’ll also clarify the listing about firewood and laundry soap so future guests know to bring those items. I’m glad the house was clean, the area peaceful, and the hot tub was a plus. Your feedback helps us improve — thank you again.

The cabin was on a beautiful mtn. and very peaceful. The hot tub had some issues so we only used it 2 times at the end of our stay. The pictures/info on the site said 2 double beds on main floor but it was a double and a twin. Would have liked to have some wood available for a fire on our snowy night. There were some cleanliness issues and several rooms could use some refreshing but it was a nice camping cabin in the woods.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The stay was disappointing due to cleanliness issues. The cutlery was not properly cleaned, and there was pet hair throughout the house, including on the bedding. This made the space feel unhygienic and uncomfortable. I hope the host can address these issues for future guests.

Response from VrboOwner on Apr 28, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry your stay fell short because of cleanliness — dirty cutlery and pet hair on bedding are unacceptable. After your departure we completed a deep clean, replaced and laundered linens and kitchenware, and reinforced our cleaning checklist and pet-hair procedures with the housekeeping team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use it to improve. Best, Tony & the Blue Maple Team

Relaxation and privacy

This little cabin in the woods was in such a great location. We loved being both in a secluded location, but just a short drive to the river and not far from berkley springs to food/ supplies. We also took a day trip to winchester to shop. Loved the screened in porch to drink coffee and read.

Nice cabin for weekend getaway

This cabin was just right for a weekend away with friends. The location is peaceful and private. Comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, great screened in porch. Kitchen was well stocked with basics, but could use some dish towels, oven mitts and a baking dish. Had plenty of pots, pans and utensils.

Perfect cabin for a weekend getaway. The community is unique in that it is gated, but 1200 acres. We only used the upstairs bedrooms, but the beds were comfortable. Loved the screened in porch!! The only addition that is needed is a fly swatter. Some very large, but slow moving flies appeared on our last night and we had to get creative with how we disposed of them. Very clean cabin!

Quiet Cabin in the woods

The property was as pictured, secluded, comfortable a serene location in the woods. The property management and communication was outstanding. And he cabin had everything you would need there and it could certainly host a family. For a rustic cabin it was great and serviceable. One minor complaint (and we realize we are being just a bit picky) the furniture and fixtures were a bit worn, the beds just a bit uncomfortable and wobbly. We enjoyed the location and it was just what we needed - but a little TLC would improve the experience immensely.

The Stress Cure!

What a wonderful stay! The nut house was the perfect cozy cabin, just far enough outside of town. After a day of hiking (Paw Paw tunnel hike was stunning in the snow), the warm fire welcomed us. The Nut House was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We cannot wait to return, as we left perfectly relaxed and happy to return to the daily grind. The owner was friendly, down to earth, and accommodating. And ( as a "clean freak") I was more than happy with the cleanliness of the cabin. Thank you for opening your rustic retreat to us! We are so grateful.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Cappaert

Host profile image
I live in DC with my wife and two young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.

Why they chose this property

We spent years searching for Tranquil Nights. We wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We picked River Ridge because of the river access, the community spirit and the easy access to America's original spa town, Berkeley Springs.

What makes this property unique

Tranquil Nights offers the ability to have multiple families stay together. Also great for a guys or gals weekend away. We provide three kayaks for at the river for the exclusive use of our guests. The community, River Ridge, welcomes all of the seasons. The first weeks of Spring bring white clouds of Service Berry blossoms, followed closely by the vibrant red buds and dogwoods. Violets, blue bells, and phlox carpet the river banks and hillsides. Summer calls for swimming and boating along the scenic Cacapon River. The River Ridge park has boat racks, a bath house, and picnic tables for outdoor fun. In the fall, the oaks, maples, and hickories steal the show with the golden Paw Paws along the river persisting until the first snows. In Winter, snow blankets the hills while curls of wood smoke and roaming flocks of wild turkey provide a memorable backdrop for holiday gatherings.
