What a charming place for a trip with friends. We enjoyed walks, board games and relaxation. The owners were friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable and everything was perfect. Great weekend, would stay again
Very secluded property very close to town. Architecture of the house gives it a great feel and the fire place is very cozy. Would definitely recommend!
Nature mid century modern a perfect weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful stay at Half Round! The view out the back of the house was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed the design features throughout the space. We made good use of the ample books and board games available. The hiking and biking in the nearby state park are top-notch, and the shops on and off the town’s main street only added to the experience. This cabin has everything you need to create plenty of family memories.
My husband and I needed some downtime. We had a nice, quiet getaway. The owner was super friendly. You could tell she genuinely wanted to make sure we had a good experience.
Well-stocked and furnished with midcentury modern/Danish style furniture - set in a beautiful serene woodland. So much fun to stay in a house with interesting architecture. Convenient to the fun town of Berkeley Springs.
A great house. Windows provide a panoramic view of the gorgeous woods. The funky little fireplace heats up the room nicely and makes for great atmosphere. The amenities are nothing fancy, (a slightly better grill or a brush to clean it would be a nice touch) but it delivers a great place to gather and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The owners let us know the table was broken. Once that gets replaced we will be back for a summer trip to the woods.
Half-Round provided a wonderful quiet weekend retreat in a beautiful setting. Elissa was great in answering our many questions prior to arrival! We loved being so close to the TreeTops restaurant for several good dinners since the weather was frigid and snowy. One suggestion: if possible to install grab bars in the bathroom, handicapped guests would be safer while using the toilet and shower.
Half Round is very lovely and very comfy! The fire place is so cool and we used it every evening and all day Sunday. The beds were great and it is so quiet there which added to the feeling of being away in the mountains. The view out the glass windows was beautiful. We took walks on the roads and trails and the quick access to the local brewery was nice for a lunch out. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking all the rest of the meals and I particularly liked having a dishwasher for clean up. Check in was easy, communication with the host always quick and the instructions for check out were very clear and quick to accomplish. We had everything we needed for our stay. We recommend!
This is a great place to stay while vacationing.Everything you need is provided and the house itself is warm and welcoming, it is a bit hard to find but that is part of its charm. You wont be sorry staying here it is a great plus to any get-away!
My husband and I stayed at the half round to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was perfect. This cabin is stunning! The location is perfectly tucked away, we kept talking about how quiet and peaceful it was. We would love to stay again.
We were in the area for an adult weekend away and totally enjoyed this home. It was just perfect for 6 adults and was centrally located to the places we wanted to go.
We enjoyed a family girls’ weekend for my daughter’s birthday. We loved the beautiful wooded setting of this cabin. The outdoor space was amazing. Everything we needed was there - well stocked. Beds were comfortable. We felt like we were away from it all but still so close to everything.
What a wonderful, clean, beautiful retreat! Thanks to the owners!
