Perfect Stay in a Beautiful Home

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. Everything we needed was provided, from a fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds and plenty of space to relax. The location was perfect, close to everything but still peaceful and quiet.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this property!

Amazing stay!

This house was breathtaking. From the enormous pool with toys for the kids, to the movie theater and ping pong table, to the immaculately kept bedrooms and bathrooms, and very large backyard, the whole family had a wonderful time. Definitely would come again!

Winter Getaway

Great place to spend with friends and family. 3 small families spent a weekend together at "Licking Creek" and couldn't be happier with our pick. The kids really enjoyed the wonderful pool, game room, and theater. The parents enjoyed being able to have adult time while the kids were happily occupied.

Wonderful stay and swim, rain or shine

My kids, wife and I enjoyed our four day stay to indulge in all-day-long swims, relaxing, and home theatre. The house was very clean and comfortable and even had a clear night for some backyard astronomy. It was only a moderate drive to antiques and dining in and around the area. Overall, a nice retreat for our family and we look forward to our next stay.

Wonderful getaway

The stay at the Licking Creek Retreat was amazing to say the least. The house had all the amenities one could want in a extended weekend getaway. The indoor heated pool surrounded by the house was a highlight. The location was remote-ish but wasn't too far from the nearest towns. This house has it all.

Beautiful Property - Great Stay!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the few days we spent here. Everyone was wishing we could stay longer. It was so fun to be swimming in December! We also made use of the game and theater rooms. There was something for everyone. Judy was an exceptional host, great communicator, and graciously aided me in retrieving an item that was accidently left behind. It’s was a wonderful stay at a perfect home in a quiet, relaxing location and we hope visit again.

Perfect weekend!

We had a fabulous time at Licking Creek. 4 couples shared the house and there was plenty of room. We watched several movies in the theater room, played ping pong and had pac man matches. Totally fun. The pool is beautiful but was a tad cold for the ladies but 2 of our husbands went in. We cooked in the first night, and went to Berkeley springs the next day for a late lunch at the Naked Olive. Judy was a wonderful host. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect for all ages

Amazing property. The house is spacious. The beds are super comfortable. We had three families with kids ranging in age from 3-17. Everyone loved this house. The pool is immaculate and warm. Pool toys and towels are provided. The game room has an old school arcade table. The adults spent much of their time in intense Ms Pac-Man competitions. There is a ping pong table, foosball table and 6 seater theater with smart TV connected to all streaming services. Everything was in great condition. The property sits on a lot of land. There is a great playground with basketball court and volleyball court visible from the front window. Our school age kids spent a lot of time out their playing. There is a stream on the property. I wish we would have brought our fishing rods. It is about 20-25 minutes from Whitetail ski resort. We would love to stay there again!!

We had a great stay! The house is much more spacious than the photos show—perfect for our group. The indoor pool and basement theater were highlights, and the outdoor space was great for relaxing. Everything was clean, and the kitchen had a good stove and fridge, though the pots and pans were quite worn and could use replacing.There’s a nice park within walking distance, but not much else nearby, so it’s ideal for staying in and enjoying the home. Overall, a comfortable, well-equipped place for a peaceful retreat!

This property lives up to its name “Licking Creek Retreat”.

Great Weekend Getaway!

Our family met here for a weekend getaway. The house is amazing and is stocked with everything you need! The pool room is great, the patio out back has firepits for you to sit around at night, and the kids enjoyed riding their bikes on the property and at the park. The views are beautiful and the beds were comfortable.We brought most of our food with us, but there are stores about 15 minutes away. Its a perfect spot to unplug and relax.

Thanksgiving stress relief!!!

We had 6-9 family members staying here, our choice to host a holiday dinner outside of one of our own houses due to space and comfort concerns. This place was perfect for our needs. My mom is arthritic and loves the pool, we used it daily! The kitchens and rooms were spacious and comfortable. Judy was an amazing host, catering to our every need. The views and scenery were calming and relaxing, we saw deer on two occasions. Our teenagers used the nearby park to play basketball and the game room was also a big plus. Instead of shopping we used Black Friday to visit nearby Berkeley Springs for a spa appointment which was wonderful. Would definitely recommend!

Peaceful Retreat

The house was phenomenal, Loved the indoor salt water swimming pool, actually my son and I both lived in the theatre room and the indoor pool area the entire time we were there. Everything outside of the house the entire way around is gorgeous landscaping and tree-wise. Ironically, I stayed here as a guest of the Schwartz family, many years ago and never realized it until I walked through the front door back around 1998ish or so. Being right next to Camp Harding State Park was phenomenal too, as we spent some time in the park and by the creek as well. This was the perfect secluded spot to get some r and r and just relax. We slept like babies while we were there. The owner Miss Judy is amazing to speak to through both texting and email chatting. I recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a nice quiet place to mentally and physically recharge from their demanding lives.
