The house is beautiful, very spacious, and was comfortable for our family of 7 adults. The windows really showcase the lovely river view, and we enjoyed using all of the outdoor spaces. The rope swing was quite overgrown and difficult to find.

So glad that you found the house to be beautiful, spacious and comfortable! And yes, the river view is amazing! Sorry you had difficulty getting to the river rope swing, the path must have grown over here in the early summer ... we'll get our landscaper to clear it back again ASAP.

This property is absolutely gorgeous and was fully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views are stunning, and spending time on the multi-tiered deck next to the fire pit and in the hot tub were some highlights of our trip. Walking down to the river and jumping off the tree swing will leave a lasting memory. The nearby Shepardstown has all the small town charm and was the perfect place to take a stroll when we wanted to get out. The hosts were fantastic communicators answering all our questions quickly. We were sad we didn't book a longer stay. 10/10 would highly recommend!

My family was surprised and delighted by the unassuming exterior of the home tucked deep in the woods. Then they stepped inside and saw how big the place was. My boys loved having their own rooms and views upstairs and my daughter loved having her own master suite downstairs on the opposite side of the house from her parents. Everyone was happy. Furnishings were tasteful and comfortable. We loved sipping morning coffee out on the screened in porch. Folks fought over the comfy reading chairs by the window view of the river. If there had been a bigger couch on the screened in porch, my husband would have napped out there. We enjoyed the darts and fire pit, amazing views and peace. Also we loved how close everything was 15min to everything adorable.

This place is great! We stayed over New Years/winter break. Great views, all kinds of wildlife - we even spotted a big cat one evening. The home was perfect for our group of 8 - 2 families of four and our dogs. The kids enjoyed the assortment of games and the dogs had a great time running around at the bottom of the hill by the river. The place is located within about 15 minutes of everything you could need and convenient for visiting local points of interest, but still private and quiet. We enjoyed eating at Blue Moon Cafe (which allows dogs inside) in Shepherdstown. The hosts were responsive and easy to work with! Easy drive from the Annapolis area for us.
View from the river up to the house.
Decorated for the holidays!
