We really enjoyed our stay. We had a small communication glitch in the beginning but the owner rectified it right away. The kids loved all the games available and never complained about being bored. I loved the beds which were extremely comfortable and the owners were very thoughtful with all the amenities; soaps, paper products, laundry supplies etc. We would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Overall very nice stay
The place was great for our family. Our Grandkids loved the games in the lower level. We also loved the fact that it had all the basic supplies that some VRBO don't always have. It had toilet paper, shower products, coffee, filters, etc so we did not have to go to the store for anything. My only issue was the communication. I had asked when i booked if we could check in earlly and were told that would be possible depending when the guests before us left. I sent a message 3 days prior and they replied with the standard 4 pm. I reminded them again asking if we could get a text or something if we could get in early and they never responded again for 3 days. Very disappointed as we had family coming from 2 different states

Fantastic stay from beginning to end.
Out of all the locations we have visited, Retrievers Retreat has by far the best and most coordinated communication. Their pre-trip guide was beneficial, in my opinion; it helped us organize our activities in advance and provided options to cater to a wide range of interests. Just a short drive from the cabin is Cacapon State Park, which we thoroughly enjoyed visiting. Retrievers Retreat offers modern technology while nestled in a peaceful neighborhood. Upon arrival, we were surprised at how clean the cabin was and were grateful for all the extras that were provided, such as hand lotion, hair conditioner, shampoo, etc. A comfy king-sized bed and many nice additions like a game room, wine refrigerator, and upgraded items in the kitchen and bathroom made for an enjoyable stay. Fantastic stay from beginning to end; highly recommend Retrievers Retreat

Why they chose this property

On our first visit to Berkeley Springs, we were drawn to the character and charm that the town offers, and we soon found ourselves in the office of a local realtor ready to make an offer on a cabin near Cacapon State Park. The cabin had “good bones” but had been neglected by the previous owners. We spent the next year renovating “Retriever’s Retreat” (https://www.vrbo.com/130256) and making it into our haven from our hectic schedules and pace of life in DC.

As pet lovers, we are pleased to be able to share our pet-friendly homes with your family, and we hope that your time in Berkeley Springs offers you a chance to enjoy the company of family and good friends.
