We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. I was super impressed with how clean the cabin was for being in the woods(I know how critters like to make/find homes in the winter). Great for families. Kids had a blast playing the video games and having their own space. Plenty of games to play too. The cabin had everything we needed and then some. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion in the bathroom was an added bonus. Cabin was warm and cozy for the winter weekend we stayed. We were even lucky enough to see deer in the back yard including an albino deer. This was a wonderful vacation rental that we hope to return to.

Why they chose this property

On our first visit to Berkeley Springs, we were drawn to the character and charm that the town offers, and we soon found ourselves in the office of a local realtor ready to make an offer on a cabin near Cacapon State Park. The cabin had “good bones” but had been neglected by the previous owners. We spent the next year renovating “Retriever’s Retreat” (https://www.vrbo.com/130256) and making it into our haven from our hectic schedules and pace of life in DC.

As pet lovers, we are pleased to be able to share our pet-friendly homes with your family, and we hope that your time in Berkeley Springs offers you a chance to enjoy the company of family and good friends.
