The Space:
Our family-friendly cabin is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or small groups of friends.

The cabin includes:
- 2 bedrooms + a loft sleeping area (four beds total)
- A huge wrap-around deck with a propane grill
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- Spa tub right off the master bedroom
- Fast WiFi that's good enough to stream movies and hold video calls
- Fully-stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, stove/oven, and microwave
- AC unit in the master bedroom
- Wood fireplace to keep you cozy at night
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang

Our cabin also has private access to Sleepy Creek, just a quick 15 min walk from the cabin. It's a shallow creek most of the year, but great for cooling off in the summer and for the kids to hunt frogs and crawfish. :)

We often take our two little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly.

One thing to note: about 100 yards to the right of the back deck are high-voltage power lines that you can see through the trees. There's no safety issue or anything, but wanted to make sure you're aware.

Beyond the cabin itself, we love how close to everything we are -- particularly Great Cacapon State Park and Berkeley Springs. The park is free to enter and has miles of hiking trails, a beach and small lake, golf course, horse stables, and a clay shooting range. And the town of Berkeley Springs has been voted one of the top arts communities in the US; the shopping, spa, and restaurant scene does not disappoint!

Guest Access:
You'll have the cabin and surrounding property to yourselves. You can also access the small stream a short walk down the road.

Interaction with Guests:
Tony can be reached via cell/text during your stay, and a property manager can be onsite for any issues that arise.

Peaceful & Relaxing

Exactly what we were looking for - a quiet and relaxing cabin away from reality. My only suggestion would be to take a lantern. We did not and it was a little too dark for my comfort down by the fire pit. I would have felt better with a little more light! We brought our own flatscreen and firestick and set it up in the bedroom for relaxing and watching a movie in bed.

Cabin has seen better days

Cabin was nice but needing some updates & upgrades. The bedding was nice but no other furniture was comfortable to sit in. The area around cabin was very quiet. There is not much to in town and most businesses are closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays. The property manager did check in with us and was very nice.

Stay was not as advertised, overpriced

The neighborhood was quiet, the house had been cleaned fully and the hot tub seems very new and worked well. The cabin's deck oversees powerlines with the crackling sound close enough to obviously hear while outside. We stayed on a day when temps were around 80 during the day. There is one AC unit on the top/loft floor which does not come even close to air conditioning the cabin. There was a family of squirrels or rats or birds making very loud sounds in the woodstove's inside chimney. All of this would be fine if the price reflected it. However the price after including the cleaning and other fees is well beyond the value. If you choose to stay here: here, expect to receive 3+ text messages about how important it is that you leave at or before 10 am with no exceptions (unless you agree ahead of time to pay another $95).

Small rental cabin

1) Problems checking in: Direction instruction to cabin: Unclear, not precise. instead of emphasizing do not use apple map---. Give the actual directions for example : depending on where you are coming from take 522 turn –to Oakland, how many miles and then to---. This way customers can read out of printed directions if your gps does not work. This is how vrbo rentals and others provide directions to the rental house. 2) Cabin location: close to Cacapon State park and trails, Berkeley Springs shops. Although there are neighbors from both sides of the rental, the back area is wooded and private for the use the hot tub. Would be safer with a step stool to get in and out of the hot tub. Deck flooring is worn out and furniture old, wobbly. 3) Cabin facility: small and tight appropriate for a couple or small family, not for special needs people. Small children must be watched-steep stairs. Kitchen well stocked. 4) Overall, ok with the pricing. Website ad of property description not accurate and misleading.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Cappaert

I live in DC with my wife and three 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 the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and Black Bear Cabin in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
