About this property

Breathtaking! 5 Acre Private Riverfront Cabin in the Mountains!

Experience the natural beauty and comfort of The Cacapon River Lodge — an extra cozy, private 5-acre river mountain cabin. Nestled along the gorgeous curves of the Cacapon River and hidden among lush West Virginia mountains, this waterfront oasis offers both relaxation and exploration.

Sip coffee and watch birds drift from the towering sycamores lining the river. Enjoy lunch al fresco on the treetop deck spanning the entire length of the house. Put a kayak in the water outside your back door and drift with the current while winding toward the Potomac. Enjoy a beverage next to the dancing deck firepit as the sun sets over the soft peaks and the kids play ping pong downstairs. Soak in the hot tub listening to the bubbling of the inky blue river drift under the moonlit mountain. This place is one-of-a kind.


THE HOME...

The Cacapon River Lodge offers the best of the past and present -- a rustic 1970s river mountain getaway that’s been carefully upgraded. The home includes all the modern amenities you expect while maximizing the nostalgic charms of a cherished family vacation retreat ripe for making memories.

The main features include: 5 bedrooms, 2 baths; high speed WiFI for streaming; enormous deck with million dollar river-mountain views; cozy screened-in porch perfect for reading, napping, and socializing; open, two- story skylit living room with exposed beams; fully stocked kitchen with electric stove and all necessary equipment for delicious meals; two refrigerators; washer and dryer; an entertainment level with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball; bar setup; board game nook; movie watching hub; two outdoor wood fire pits; gas deck fire pit; HOT TUB; and many other hidden treasures.


THE LOCATION...

Only 20 minutes from historic Berkeley Springs, the cabin is an easy trip from all directions and especially convenient for those in Washington DC, Baltimore, or Northern Virginia.

If you’re looking for pure R&R, then you never have to leave the property. But if you want to explore, you’re steps from adventure. You can swim or kayak in the river directly in the backyard, travel to the Cacapon State Park, ride your bike through the Paw Paw tunnel, fly fish, find one of the many hiking trails scoured throughout the area, or drive 10 minutes to Panorama Overlook which National Geographic ranked as one of the 5 best overlooks in the East!

For a touch of activity, Berkeley Springs is a legendary spa town -- a thriving little community of restaurants, shops, bars, art galleries, a classic one-screen theater, natural spring baths, and an abundance of artsy charm. It even has a castle!


THE RIVER/PROPERTY:

The cabin sits on 5 acres of riverfront along the Cacapon. The house is built above the floodplain and stairs lead down to a flat clearing perfect for any number of activities. The river itself can be accessed along any point of the property (be warned that it is untamed). The land ends at a public entry point which is a perfect starting or stopping point for canoes or kayaks. There is also a private area near the edge of the property that slopes into a level riverbed to place chairs, sunbathe, skip rocks, or wade into the water for a dip.


NOTE:

This is a unique cabin with two open-riser spiral staircases, cable deck railing, and outdoor railroad tie stairs. These and other carefully curated features add to the distinct character and charm of the property. But they may pose safety risks for very young children and those with mobility challenges. Please ensure you and your family are comfortable with these elements before booking. Feel free to reach out to us with any specific questions about safety and access.

Unplug and unwind

There was a little something to bring joy to everyone (ages 1.5, 3, 8, 22, 24, 30, 34, 35 and 61). A BIG thank you for supplying the laundry soap and coffee! We enjoyed the river, the games, the hot tub and the Cacapon State Park (beach, golf course, horseback riding). If you are looking for remote/rural, this is it.

Perfect River House

This property was perfect for our family vacation - ages 5 to 68. The beds were comfortable, it was clean and exactly as advertised. The host seems very thoughtful with many nice touches. We loved swimming, tubing and fishing in the river. It is a very private spot. Everyone loved it!

Guys Trip

Every year 5 of us head to this area in West Virgina to kayak and get out of cell phone range for a few days. For us this cabin was a great option due to the river front property and large number of bedrooms. This would also be an ideal property for a family or extended family trip. Great area, house was decorated nicely and communications with owner were clear and accurate. We look forward to visiting this location again in the future.

Amazing Property

This is a stunning, beautifully decorated, well stocked house with a view and an incredible river access point. We spent the days just lounging about in the river chatting with the occasional kayaker who passed by, sitting by the firepit at night, and playing games on the beautiful screened-in porch. Two fridges, games in the basement, easy water access - might be one of the best VRBO rentals we've ever had. Already planning on booking again for next year.

Great Family Vacation House

We met up at the River House for a family vacation. House was great, lots of room for everyone to spread out or gather together. Well equipped kitchen. Game room was a hit for hanging out. The fire pit on the deck was a daily meet up each evening. Whether floating in the river, exploring town, heading to the beach at the state park, or laying in a hammock reading a book, everyone found their spot! A great place to relax and enjoy nature! Host was very responsive.

wonderful getaway!

Rented this adorable cabin for the 8 of us (2 families) for 5 days and we loved every minute of it! very comfy beds, and cozy cabin decor. Very private cabin and felt like we were deep in the woods, yet w/ a beautiful river just down the steps and across the wooded lawn! We tubed and swam and tried river fishing! We explored the lovely town of Berkley Springs and took a ghost tour, shopped, and ate our way through town ;-). We walked/hiked Paw Paw tunnel area. We cooked dinners in the cabin, played games, made s'mores and watched movies. Just what we were looking for - we all hope to come back sometime soon!! Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

Family Vacation

The hosts were very friendly. A couple of the appliances were not in working condition. The house was very large-accommodates a large family. You are in the middle of no-where-very peaceful. The cleaners needed to do a much better job- bath mat was completely soaked when we checked in-made me wonder if they had actually cleaned the bathroom.

Lovely House in the Trees

We visited the cabin in mid August and absolutely loved it. The house was filled with interesting art and treasures - very rustic but full of charm. Everything we needed was there and it was the most perfect location. We hung out on the screened in porch and on the deck. Ate dinner alfresco and had drinks under the treetops. The view from inside and out was amazing. You can see and hear the river and the peaceful leaves blowing in the breeze. It was such a great escape. We will be back!!!

You will LOVE this cabin!

This river cabin is absolutely stunning and a great find. The hosts were meticulous in their choices of furnishings, accessories, and amenities. It is very secluded, right on the Cacapon River. Make sure you crack your window at night so you can hear the river sounds as you go to sleep. All the bedrooms are decorated to perfection, with little touches throughout- lots of nooks and crannies with indirect light and comfy chairs to read in. It's large enough that you can find spaces for alone time, but the main room is perfectly cozy for playing board games, watching a movie, or just enjoying a fire. Hosts are very responsive with answers to questions and checking in to make sure you have everything you need. Since we stayed in the winter, we did not get to take advantage of the many outdoor areas and activities so we will definitely be back in the summer! Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time! We were able to fully utilize the kitchen and grill to prepare meals throughout the whole weekend as the appliances worked and there was enough cooking ware for our needs. The bathrooms were clean and the hot tub was nice! The table games in the basement were fun to use too!Some of the doors were hard to fully close and/or lock. The lock box at the front door was finicky too. There was a broken step down to the river that should be fixed as it's currently a hazard

Perfect for our family getaway!

This property exceeded our expectations. This was a perfect summer cabin, absolutely fabulous decor throughout, so many cozy hangout spaces for our group of 8. We never felt crowded, and especially enjoyed the game area and enclosed porch. We brought kayaks and tubes for the river, and did the Paw Paw Tunnel Trail (highly recommend!). We did have one issue with the property but our host was quick to resolve. Definitely would recommend.

The house was just as described in the listing. Kyle was very responsive before and during our stay. It was nice being on the river so we could fish and kayak. The grandkids loved the game room as well as the bedroom lofts. There was plenty of room for us to spread out on the enclosed porch and deck. I would recommend this charming place to anyone interested in staying near Berkeley Springs.

Great stay! Game room was crucial during the two days of rain we had. Deck gas fire pit was great as were the stocked propane tanks available to us. Hot tub was clean and working. 85” TV was spectacular. A couple fans didn’t work but luckily it was borderline freezing when we went…hahaha. All amenities were stocked and ready for us. Thanks for the TP and dishwasher tabs. Those are rarely included. Thanks to Kyle and Paul for having us. We will definitely consider this cabin again for our yearly stay.

We got a chance to celebrate our family 40 years of marriage with our family and it was an absolute blast. The host was very detailed in his instructions about the property ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay.and available to ensure He did so in a timely manner throughout our stay. The kind women cleaning and preparing the home put in extra time and was so sweat and pleasant as we began our stay. In terms of the property, it was well was well equipped and clean and the beds were super comfortable. Also being able to hear the river from the house was amazing. It was such a relaxing time and would highly recommend this property. It is trip that will be etched in our minds as one of the best as a family. Beyond pleased with our experience!!

Ideal Mountain Retreat

My family had such a good time staying at this property. It was very well appointed, the surrounding property was beautiful, and the decor was so well done - I'd call it "retro cabin chic". Everything we wanted for a peaceful and fun time together, and the three teens in tow were definitely entertained between the game room, hot tub, fire put, and river access. We'll definitely be back!

A great stay

We unfortunately stayed in one of the hottest weeks of the year. The river was low and the air inside resetting to 82 each day kept the house overly hot. The house had everything to offer as far as games, indoor and outdoor seating, and porch views of the river. We didn’t get to have an outside fire, but the fireside chairs could use some repair work. The hosts were exceptionally responsive to questions. It was a great family vacay.
