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.
