The Space:
Snow-dusted pines whisper as you step onto the wraparound deck, the crisp mountain air filling your lungs while the sun catches on the cabin’s light‑filled windows. Inside, vaulted ceilings and expansive glass frame the valley, letting the quiet of Great Cacapon settle around you. After a day of hiking, you can soak in the hot tub, feeling warm water contrast with the cool evening breeze, then drift back inside to the crackling fireplace and the soft glow of the Smart TV.
Sleeping arrangements
Four distinct sleeping areas comfortably accommodate up to fifteen guests. A loft bedroom holds two queen beds, open to the main space. On the main level, two separate bedrooms each feature a queen bed. The basement family room offers a queen bed, a twin bed, and a sleeper sofa, while an additional sleeper sofa in the living room provides extra flexibility for kids or extra guests.
Bathrooms & essentials
Three full bathrooms provide hot water and bathroom essentials. A washer and dryer are available for longer stays or winter adventures, keeping fresh clothes within easy reach.
Kitchen & dining
The open kitchen is fully equipped for family meals, with ample counter space and a large island bar. A spacious dining table invites everyone to gather for shared dinners, while the adjacent grill on the covered porch is ready for outdoor cooking when the weather permits.
Living spaces
The main living area centers around a rustic indoor fireplace, farmhouse‑inspired wood beams, and a Smart TV. Wi‑Fi extends throughout the cabin, though the remote setting can make service slower at times—downloading essential content in advance is recommended. A dedicated workspace lets you blend a bit of remote work with mountain relaxation.
Outdoor living
Beyond the hot tub and fire pit, the property offers a screened porch, a covered porch, and the wraparound deck—each a perfect spot for sunrise coffee, afternoon reading, or starlit conversation. The grill adds a casual option for meals outdoors when conditions allow.
Neighborhood
Great Cacapon sits in the Appalachian Mountains, a short drive from Berkeley Springs’ historic hot springs, galleries, and local dining. Nearby parks and scenic drives provide easy access to hiking and nature exploration.
Pet policy & practical notes
The cabin is pet‑friendly for dogs, with the family’s three little kids and dog often joining guests. Cats are not allowed due to allergies. Cleaning staff sweep the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, though leaves, pollen, or other natural traces may still be visible, especially in certain seasons.
