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!
Our stay was wonderful! The place was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We truly enjoyed our time and had a great experience. Highly recommend
Nice quiet property, owners were responsive when we had a concern. This property has no televisions or cable and no outside fire pit. For 250 per night it’s on the upper end compared to other similar properties that have more amenities near Berkeley springs.
Great stay. Everything we needed was available at the cabin and the restaurants in town were great. Easy check-in/check-out, and great communication with the owners.
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!
Super relaxing spot - waking up and staring at the woods while drinking a cup of tea. Nice walking trails were there too. Also just a 5-10 minute drive to town. Little touches were great - stack of fluffy towels, kerig cups ready to go, etc.
We had a delightful and relaxing weekend. The setting is perfect and we loved the open airy living room. Plus the shower pressure was wonderful. Thanks for being such great hosts! Would definitely recommend.
A rating of 2 was given for check in process. It was very difficult contacting VRBO initially to get verification of reservations. Hosts completed that directly. Difficult again to contact and receive address and entrance code. Again, hosts had to intervene to have info provided. Location was wonderful, cabin clean and comfortable. Would recommend location but would caution use of VRBO.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
