Lovely and peaceful setting. Fairly remote yet close enough to all of the local attractions. Ideal for a group of adults. I would have enjoyed a fire pit, but it did not detract from our stay
The Honey Bear House was perfect for our family gathering! And our pups gave it all paws up :) Everything was so clean and comfortable. Our host Melissa was wonderful with communication! We hope to stay again at this beautiful property!
The house was amazing!!! It was clean and well equipped with everything you may need. The area was peaceful and not too far from the town area. Melissa kept in contact making sure we had all that we needed to ensure we had a great stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you, Dolan! We’d be happy to host you again!
We had a lovely stay at this house. The house is beautiful! It was well laid out, comfortable, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and helpful. The location is rural (awesome night sky), but a few minutes from 522 and the main road. This is an excellent place to stay in Berkeley Springs. We likely will be back.

It was a very well maintained property, and easy to locate. Kid friendly.
This was a very well maintained property that was easy to find and had accessible walking trails right on the property. We took three small children and they had plenty of space to move around inside and out. The interior of the house was also laid out in such a way that the kids couldn't easily get into things they shouldn't. I would recommend it to anybody and plan on coming back. Great stay!
