Plenty to do in and around Paw Paw
Paw Paw Tunnel: Just two miles away you’ll find the historic Paw Paw Tunnel National Historical Site, which was not only a marvel of engineering in its day, but is really cool to walk through (bring a flashlight and wear comfortable shoes—it’s dark and slippery). As part of the Paw Paw Tunnel Site, the National Park Service also maintains several hiking trails of varying degrees of length and difficulty. Water and comfortable shoes will be the key to your enjoyment of this site, which does not charge a fee.
Town of Paw Paw: Paw Paw is plenty historic—George Washington first mapped the region, the Paw Paw Tunnel is right across the river, and more than 20,000 Federal troops camped here during the Civil War as the historic marker in town will tell you. But with fewer than 500 permanent residents, the Paw Paw of today offers few amenities beyond a Dollar General and Liberty gas station where you can purchase basic food and supplies, including ice and beer. If you want to get away from big city life, this is the place.
For restaurants, shopping, major grocery stores and other signs of civilization, visit Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, which is a scenic 25-minute drive away. The town is also home to five spas, operated by the state of West Virginia , offering an array of health and beauty treatments.
Guests will have access to the full property- Potomac River front access, main cottage, bunk house, with 15 acres of privacy.
After booking- you will receive our rental agreement. It will be emailed directly to you from our internal platform, Hostfully. Once agreed upon and submitted back, you will receive your arrival instructions which will include directions and access to the cabin. Access will be self check in for your safety.
Please note-For the security of our guests and the safety of our home, we have 3 external Blink security cameras located a the main entrance and back porch, all pointing away from the home. They will be disarmed once a guest had checked in.

A Potomac Paradise has a nice large yard with amazing views that are beautiful for late
sunrises and early sunsets. Access to the River is a short walk from the cabin through
the path you will find down past the fire pit. Please be aware that our portion of the
riverbank can be tricky to access due to a steep bank, but there are public inlets both in
town, and down the street from the cabin. Using the public access point in the
neighborhood, it is a lovely float back to our property.

Though phone service can be a little spotty on the property, there is steady wifi
provided.
Please note there is no TV. There is no a/c in the bunk house, we are in the mountains where the nights are
typically chilly well into June. All summer long, by the river, nestled in the trees the
nights cool down as well! During the day, breezes come straight off the river and ceiling
fans will keep you cool on even the hottest days of summer.
We operate on the honor system, although our team does come by after your stay to
properly clean and maintain the cabin, we do ask that you please take the trash out to
the receptacle and leave our little piece of paradise as you would hope to find it!
Please note that house trained, well-behaved pets are welcomed, but must be kept
under your control at all times and are not allowed on furniture. When outside they need
to be leashed per HOA rules.
