About this property
Potomac River Retreat - Shepherdstown, WV - Stunning views - 5 acres 4 BR
"Sunrise on the Potomac" has stunning waterfront views on 5-acres in a private community. 4 BRs + 3 BAs (sleeps 8).
Great for a staycation, work-from-home alternative, or change of scenery. Recently fully renovated and better than ever!
Shepherdstown is a historic and artsy college town that balances natural beauty with a quirky, bohemian culture. Explore historic sites, boutique shopping, great restaurants, and other amenities.
This one of a kind eco-friendly river house has four large private bedrooms, three full baths, a great room, and kitchen with a big farm sized dining table for family meals. The two primary bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and are on the same level as the kitchen, dining room and family room (no stairs required).
A hot tub is perfectly perched just outside overlooking the river and surrounding forest. Also on premise is WiFi, laundry, grills, an outdoor fire pit (please note that the indoor fireplace is decorative only and not for guest use), games / activities, two smart TVs, and so much more. Bed and bath linens included with the rental, no need to bring your own.
Less than a two hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Washington DC, but a getaway that feels like being in another universe surrounded by big trees, water, nature preserves, and historic sites. 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.
So many details to share, just ask!
