About this property

Potomac River Retreat - Shepherdstown, WV - Stunning views - 5 acres 4 BR

"Sunrise on the Potomac" has stunning waterfront views on 5-acres in a private community. 4 BRs + 3 BAs (sleeps 8). Great for a staycation, work-from-home alternative, or change of scenery.

Just fully renovated and better than ever!

Shepherdstown is a historic and artsy college town that balances natural beauty with a quirky, bohemian culture. Explore historic sites, boutique shopping, great restaurants, and other amenities.

This one of a kind eco-friendly river house has four large and private bedrooms, two full baths, a great room, and kitchen with a big farm sized dining table for family meals. A hot tub is perfectly perched just outside overlooking the river and surrounding forest. Also on premise is WiFi, laundry, grills, an outdoor fire pit (please note that the indoor fireplace is decorative only and not for guest use), games / activities, two smart TVs, and so much more. Bed and bath linens included with the rental, no need to bring your own.

Less than a two hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Washington DC, but a getaway that feels like being in another universe surrounded by big trees, water, nature preserves, and historic sites. The house is a perfect place for a family or adventurous travelers who enjoy activities such as kayaking, canoeing, swimming, tubing, paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, biking or cave tours.

The waterfront house has gorgeous views for every season overlooking the serene water and the C&O canal tow path (no houses or unsightly buildings across the river). There are landscaped stairs from the house down to the river. Visitors have the chance to shop local farmers markets, go riding at the Whitings Neck Equestrian Center directly across the street, explore history in the surrounding area, and have a chance to experience the charming Shepherdstown complete with cool coffee shops, bookstores, an array of restaurants, artisan stores, yoga and reiki studios.

So many details to share, just ask!

Relaxing spot for a mom's getaway
My friends and I had a great time here. The home is interesting, nicely furnished, and clean. There is an actual grass roof which was super cool- like a fairy hut or something. We were even greeted with a sweet gift. The beds were very comfortable. There were board games to play and everything you need to cook. They have a bluetooth speaker to use too. The hot tub was well maintained. The bathrooms were very clean. We spent most of our time in Shephardstown. It was a very adorable little town with shops and lots of history. There is no cell service at or near the house, so be sure to download your maps or use a GPS to get around. The walk to the river is a bit long, so I recommend driving. There is no river access on the property. There are no black out curtains in the bedrooms so it is bright in there when the sun rises. There was an odd booming echo that scared us at first and happened only about 5 times throughout the weekend (maybe war reenactments? hunting? Construction?). We did find the checkout check-list to be a lot, which is probably how the home stays so clean, so it wasn't a problem. Just a caution to plan your time wisely on the last day to complete the list before 11am. Overall a fantastic stay! We would absolutely come back.

Beautiful get-a-way
The house is on a fantastic property, nestled between the Potomac River and a lush forest. It's a really cool design for a house. It's like staying in a modern Hobbit house. Tony is a wonderful host and is very responsive to questions. 10/10 would stay again.

Comfortable, beautiful stay
We stayed here for a long overdue girls weekend. We enjoyed each having our own rooms and plenty of space. The view from the home is absolutely spectacular and we had lovely conversations sitting on the deck overlooking the river. Would absolutely stay here again.
