The house was just as advertised, clean, comfortable, and had many touches that made for a nice stay. It is located in a nice and quiet development. We really enjoyed the hot tub at the end of a day exploring the area. We would stay here again.
The house was amazing! Loved the decor and amenities. We were not pleased with the astronomical fees associated with this property.

Starling is Great!
This beautiful home nestled in the woods is a perfect getaway. Thoughtfully decorated and stocked with amenities, it's easy to relax and enjoy nature during your stay. It's a short drive into town, where you can shop antiques, grab a coffee or take a Roman Bath. We highly recommend Starling House!
Loved the setting in the woods and the house was as spacious as advertised. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking at home and it’s just close enough to town for convenience but far enough away to feel secluded. Could use some updating for the price, but enjoyed the stay very much.
We were instantly in love with the Starling House upon our arrival. Everything was even cuter than the photos! It had everything we needed, was comfortable and stylish, and the views of the forest and skyline were phenomenal. The distance to downtown Berkeley Springs was perfect for visiting the Bathhouse and the local shops. We plan to return to this adorable vacation home.
My besties and I had the perfect long weekend get-away at the Starling House. The home is exactly what we wanted - cozy, quirky, plenty of space, well-appointed, close to town, updated/modern but still charming. We loved everything about it and will definitely be back. No issues or concerns whatsoever!
We had such a great weekend at this beautiful home. The owners have taken such great care to make sure every need is met. The decor is warm and inviting, creating a peaceful retreat in the woods. Thank you so much for all the care that you put into this home. I definitely want to book again!

Mountain getaway w/ style
Perfect mix of secluded mountain location with incredibly stylish and inviting design, furniture, lighting, books, games, and entertainment system. The screened in porch (more like a living room) was heaven. The lower level is great for kids and has the lovely hottib but the main level has everything else arranged in a lovely flow from bedrooms to kitchen to living area and outdoor spaces. We can’t wait to rebook.
Our group was in awe of the intentional and welcoming design of the Starling House. We enjoyed the multiple outdoor seating areas, including the screened-in porch. We didn’t even explore the town because we felt no reason to leave the house. The community has lots to offer in terms of hiking trails and amenities, but the large private hot tub was exceptional. No complaints! Would most definitely stay again.

Starling House
Love the Starling House. So well appointed and tucked in the woods. They have game boards, books and all kitchen utensils. I will be back again.
Management company is great too because it was clean when we arrived and with all starter needs.
This weekend was, at least, our third stay at Starling House. We travel to Berkeley Springs a few times a year and always hope to book our stay here, but this great property seems to have a lot of admirers.
As with past stays, the house was immaculate and had all the amenities needed to enjoy a quiet, comfortable weekend in the woods. This property is unique in the very best sense of the word, the owners having paid attention to every detail. We can’t wait to return!

We were told that we would receive a price reduction because there was very noisy construction right outside our unit. We are still waiting
2 couples in our 50’s came for a long weekend. Home was spotless, every amenity you could ask for. Amazingly well stocked kitchen. The space is perfect, laid out well to accommodate together time as well as individual time. Would highly recommend this property. Two things I would caution, if you are older or have bad knees the beds are EXTREMELY. low. And unless you are SUPER tech savvy, we could t figure out how to turn on the tv for viewing, and there was no response when we callled the after hours number. We only needed the TV for the Super Bowl, and we had a lap top that accommodated. Wonderful Stay!
We did a long ladies weekend and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Very comfortable, attractive accommodations. Loved all the various seating areas in and outside the house—we kept moving from outside to inside, and it was lovely.
Was sad to see the fire pit removed from its foundation, be we assumed someone just ruined it for the rest but of us! Would have loved a night-time fire pit though—part of the charm of the woods.
Was very close to Berkeley Springs downtown area. Convenient to that and the one grocery store in town.
Would definitely stay here again!
We loved the house. The beds were not particularly comfortable. Old mattresses and no box spring for support and the lack of internet was not great. I texted about this got the password but it was almost non existent. We just wanted to watch a movie at night but forget it. It didn’t work at all.
The only other complaint we had was a query for a tip from the cleaner. We felt that for what was charged for the house, a clean house should have been included without a blatant request for tips from the cleaner.
Bring birders we were enchanted with sone of the owners paintings, photos, objet d’art and fabrics loaded with gorgeous birds. We loved them. The owner also had lots of great books which more than mAde up for the lack of internet .
Kitchen was very well stocked with what’s er obe needed to cook but the oven did not want to shut off. I texted but for no response. We finally managed to turn it off, but we didn’t want to start a fire.
All on all, beautiful place and very nice home. Thank you for having us. We will come back.
