This is a beautiful, clean, traquil and relaxing home away from home. The beds are comfortable, the living space is open and full of light during the day. The hosts have made great efforts to make this a family and/or couple friendly destination. Our dog was welcomed and enjoyed her stay (being with her people). The views are spectacular.
We stayed at The Cabin at Alta Vista for a few nights this April and it was exactly as advertised. The cabin was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. One of the highlights was the sunroom—the views are spectacular, and we were lucky enough to see a family of about 10 deer right outside on our first day!The hosts clearly put a lot of thought into the amenities; the coffee and tea selection was actually much better than what you’d find at a high-end hotel. One tip for future guests: the drive up the mountain is stunningly beautiful, but it can be a bit challenging. I’d definitely recommend timing your arrival for daylight hours to make the climb easier. We would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful retreat. Second time visiting and is top of the list when I am in the area. Cozy but plenty of space, all you need to relax and recharge while being close to great outdoor experiences.
We really enjoyed our weekend getaway at this cabin! It was all that we hoped for. Our dogs had a great time and loved walking in the snow. The owner, Brigid, was very helpful and responsive.
We loved this cabin! It was clean and welcoming. Clean sheets and towels provided was nice so we didn’t have to pack extra. There were directions for everything you needed (keurig, thermostat, steam shower, tv, etc). Amazing views in the winter. We enjoyed sitting in the sunroom and watching the wildlife. The supplies for our dog were appreciated and the games kept us entertained in the evening. Would highly recommend!
Comfortable and quiet mountain cabin with convenient location for our planned activities at Harpers Ferry and Sharpsburg. We would stay there again if in the area. Good communication with the host.Deer in the yard every morning and evening added to a pleasurable experience.
This cabin was so welcoming and cute!! Beautiful view from the sun room of all the fall colors! Lots of neighborhood deer in the backyard. The cabin had everything we needed to have a restful, rejuvenating girls’ weekend!
The cabin was very nice and quaint. We had a nice stay. The view from the sunroom is great amazing. The place is very cozy and made for a great night away.
This was the second time we stayed at this cabin and it was even better than before! It was clean, quiet, and has lots of nature views. Additionally the host was very responsive and provided tons of useful info about the area. Steam shower was the cherry on top!
Hard to beat! Scenic surroundings from a tranquil and warm home. Close enough to Harper’s Ferry for a trip in to take in the surroundings or pick up some food from some of the many great local establishments. Hard to beat waking up and sipping coffee as you watch deer and other animals forage below, especially after enjoying a great nights sleep post stream shower!All the “little things” were thought of by the host. Great home!
Was very pleased with our stay! the place was very well kept, and felt like a little oasis! Highly recommend this spot, and the host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed!!

About the host
Hosted by Brigid
My husband Travis and I opened this cabin in March of 2023. In 2005, we got engaged at the top of Maryland Heights, right over in Harper's Ferry. Sixteen years later, we returned and found this beautiful cabin in the woods.
Why they chose this property
After a drive up the beautiful mountain road, we found The Cabin at Alta Vista nestled in a small cute little mountain community. The neighborhood is quiet, very little traffic or noise.
From the moment we laid eyes on it, we dreamed of all the memories that would be created here. So we worked hard for over a year to create this space. It is great for family getaways, romantic nights away, or a just a chance to spend some time in solitude.
What makes this property unique
The space is quiet and simply decorated while having all the necessary amenties, as well as some bonuses, like luxury robes and heated floors. The property has an incredible amount of rocks landscaping the property, great for climbing or just a fun place to sit and take in the views. We also have frequent visits from wild life! Guests enjoy watching from the big windows in our sunroom.
