I had a wonderful time staying here. Great scenic view from the back of the house. Met the owner who was very accommodating and nice to talk with. I stayed a week and would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks for everything!
My friends and I always go away for New Years. We try someplace new every year. This lovely mountain top home did not disappoint. It was spacious, clean and equipped. It was very cold (because it was January). Did some snow tubing close by. The drive up and down the mountain was a little nerve sketchy, but took it slow as I was not driving a SUV and it was fine. It was very quiet. We had an enjoyable time.
A college friend and I stayed at Richard’s home and it was the perfect place for our reunion! Will definitely stay again!

It's on the side of a mountain
This property was tough to get to, as it's literally on the side of a mountain and you must drive up unpaved roads. The house is relatively small and looks like it has not been deep-cleaned in awhile with the bathroom having gunk in between the tiles and the kitchen appliances were covered in dust. The bedrooms are extremely small and the water heater keeps your water warm for maybe 5 minutes before your shower is cold. Will not be staying here again.
Lovely property, gorgeous view and the host was very kind.
The road to get here is a little tricky to drive, especially if you have a non-all-terrain vehicle but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay
The house was very cleaned & stocked with everything we needed. The view from the back deck was awesome & the sunsets were spectacular!! We enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful view. Check in process was easy, clear instructions for check in and out. Host was great at communication and quick response. Location is difficult to find but not impossible, if following the instructions from the host. Not incredibly local to town but a quick 15 min drive will have you in the nearest. Tons of activities at the house, was unaware it was in a neighborhood it was in but still quaint. Would definitely recommend!
Thanksgiving weekend with nearby family. Cottage is spacious and clean. Great fireplace and very comfy beds. Turkey dinner for 4 was a delight. Located on top of the mountain overlooking Charles Town. The host’s recommendation of an SUV or more is correct. The uphill road is gravel with ruts but not treacherous. Cabin in the woods is a great description.
We had a great time! The property was beautiful, and Richard is a great host.
The roads leading there are not paved, and have a lot of pot holes and bumps, and you’re going up a mountain, so there is a steep incline. We navigated them fine in our Honda Odyssey, it just took some extra time and care.
The home itself was very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of supplies for cooking, and grocery delivery from Walmart was easy to set up ahead of our arrival. We did order DoorDash our first night, and that delivery also went well.
The house was very cozy. Owner was friendly. Yes the road getting to the house was a dirt road and a lil steep. We made it. Its not the owners fault. Beautiful view when standing on the deck. Had everything we needed
Home was very comfortable and 15 minutes from walmart. The views were very nice and the firepit was good too. Owner was friendly. There is a gravel road up so follow the directions. Definitely would recommend.
The property was as advertised......Beautiful view and comfortable. Our host was responsive and had all the amenities that we desired to explore the area. Highly recommend it. Linda and Jeff
