About this property

Half Round- A Quiet Mid-Century Modern Cabin

Unique mid-century modern "Half Round" cabin in the woods. Located in the iconic Coolfont Mountainside which consists of contemporary cabins on nearly 400 acres, and was founded as an amazing retreating community in 1969. Half Round has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The open dining-living room area has soaring ceilings, 360-view fireplace and walls of glass looking out to the deck and woods beyond. The house is one level with ramp access to the front door and wrap-around deck, with seating and gas BBQ grill. The community in-ground heated pool and hot tub is open Memorial Day through Labor Day. (Year round indoor pool and hot tub available at nearby Coolfont Resort for $8pp/day.) Other community features include on-site hiking trails, tennis and basketball courts, rec field and tot-lot. The Berkeley Springs area of West Virginia is less than a two-hour drive from major metropolitan areas such as Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, Maryland. It is best known for its warm mineral springs and is famous for being the country’s first ‘spa’, frequented by Native Americans long before the first European settlers appeared. This part of West Virginia is rich in history and natural beauty, and draws thousands of visitors each year. Get ready to relax and make memories for a lifetime in this beautiful and cozy mid-century cabin.

Beautiful architecture and perfect location!We were so close to Berkeley Springs and Cacapon State Park couldn’t ask for a better mix of design and convenience. The owner was very communicative and even let us know about the Apple Butter Festival. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Cabin (and area surrounding it) are absolutely beautiful! Elissa and Michael were great hosts (also, directions for getting to the property were clear and helpful)! Loved the mid century modern furniture and really enjoyed the fireplace. Bonus: beds were super comfortable and appreciated all of the smaller details (plenty of fluffy towels, recommendations for places in town, etc). Property was quiet, cozy, and super relaxing. Easy to get to town and the cabin had everything we were looking for!

We came for a nice quiet weekend and and it was great. I was looking forward to a nice cozy fire in the fireplace but the temperatures were too warm outside. There are a few close neighbors and not much traffic at all, just a little bit more than I would have liked. It was a bit difficult for my husband to sit in the chairs and get out of them (he's 72 and has back problems). The bed was comfortable. We had and enjoyable stay and can't wait to return!

July 4th Stay

Half Round was exactly what we were looking for to get away from the chaos and traffic of NOVA over the long holiday weekend. We spent as much time as possible on the shaded back porch enjoying the view of the woods, the sounds from the babbling brook and the cooler mountain air. The inside was just as comfortable and had everything we needed (and what we didn’t, a TV). Would absolutely come again.

Great Weekend Retreat

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.

We loved staying at Half Round with our dog! The property is well taken care of and is in a great neighborhood with lots of other cabins. Everything you could need for a stay is already there which made it so convenient! The keurig was a great touch and there was even tea!

Lovely home- just the right size for our group of 3 couples. The mid- century decor and fireplace were a fun change from our homes. Very private with wonderful wooded views. The kitchen is well furnished and we enjoyed the coffee that was provided. Would definitely stay again.

Mid century cabin in a great location

My friends and I had a great time here for a weekend getaway. 2 hours from DC and in a wooded community with a beautiful outdoor pool. Short drive to a great brewery with unique drinks, and to the Berkeley Springs park area with many cute shops and coffeehouses. Large grill on the deck, kitchen was very clean. Host was super helpful also.
