Please note: our cabin is secluded, and without cell service. Not quite ready to completely disconnect, don’t worry, there’s a landline and the internet is super fast with 1 gig speeds.



Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!



Beyond the cabin itself, we love how close to everything we are. The Berkeley Springs area is a 25 minute drive from the cabin and is great for so many reasons. The town of Berkeley Springs has been voted one of the top arts communities in the US, with dozens of shops and restaurants, and even a brewery and winery!
