Cooper’s Cabin on the Cacapon

20 minute drive from historic Berkeley Springs, WV you will find yourself at our secluded mountain retreat. Perched 150 feet above the Cacapon River with 270 degree views on 20 acres of mountain sits our newly renovated 4 bedroom 2 bath cabin. With 1,000 feet of river front in our backyard, there are endless outdoor excursions, including canoeing (1 on property) kayaking (3 single kayaks on property) fishing, tubing, hiking, bird watching (two eagle nests are 200 yards away- we see them often), star gazing, and much more.

In addition to all the outdoor amenities, the cabin features all new appliances and furniture and was renovated in winter of 2020. Relax in our 72 gallon bath tub, take a steam in our new steam shower, enjoy either side of our double sided fireplace or just read a book on our back deck with views for days to name a few cabin activities. The cabin was originally built and lived in by the the famous curator of the National History Museum, Grace Rogers Cooper, which is why we have named our cabin Coopers Cabin.

Note - we live a mile away and out of sight of, but not out of hearing distance from a ranch that hosts the occasional cowboy style shooting tournament. Their matches are select dates - March 28, April 18, and September 24-26 - but they have occasional practice days on Saturdays/Sundays typically on the third weekend of the month. You may hear gunshots from their place during the day in those days. West Virginia is indeed wild and wonderful. Learn more about CASS and view their calendar here: www.wvcass.org.
