About this property

Mom's Heide-Way, quaint country escape from the DMV

Get ready to unplug, unwind, relax and make memories at Mom's house. Remember going to the country to visit Grandma? Being outside all day, playing in the creek, catching fireflies, stargazing and no bedtime?

Start your day with coffee on the spacious deck or inside the sunroom. Spend the day as you chose. Hike around the 100 acre property and see how many animals you can spot . Deer, squirrels, rabbits, turkeys, all kinds of birds (even the resident ravens) and maybe a bear. If you choose to leave the house for the day, there are many day excursions around the area. Hiking, biking, golfing, skiing, Civil War trenches, caverns, waterfalls and the Potomac Eagle Scenic Excursion Train. If water activities interest you, we have private access to the South Branch River, located just 10 miles from the house.

As evening approaches, prepare your supper in the fully stocked kitchen, a steak on the grill, a hotdog at the firepit, or eat out/order in at one of the local restaurants. Eat at the kitchen table or at one of the dining tables on the deck. You'll see one of the most beautiful sunsets there. Listen carefully and you'll hear the coyotes and whippoorwills. When you're finished catching fireflies, have a s'more and call it a night outside. Get settled inside in the living room to watch a movie or upstairs in the cozy bonus room. When you do decide to retire, climb into one of the many antique beds with comfy cotton bedding and quilts just like at Grandma's.

This property is located approximately 2 hours from the Washington/Baltimore area and conveniently located just 5 minutes from dentist, hospital, wellness center, grocery, pharmacy and dining. Shop in West Virginia's oldest town, Romney, just 10 minutes away for arts and crafts, fine jewelry, country décor, boutique clothing and more.

Cosy escape

Mom's Heide-Way is a lovely, clean place. We had a fantastic time visiting with friends and family and had a lot of space where we could just relax! We were glad that it was close to where our friends live, and also just a few minutes away from Romney! We would definitely stay again when we come up to visit!

Weekend getaway

Our stay at this amazing property was the absolute best.... Our kids finally had family dinners and breakfast... We all talked and spent so much time together... We all became so much closer... The property was amazing.. I hope to own something just like it in the future!! The home was not to much to clean but big enough for family of 5. I just felt so at home from the second I walked in..

Family reunion

Me and my family from Tennessee came to west Virginia to see family and catch up with family we haven't seen in such a long time. We got to eat dinner and swim and enjoyed seeing everyone. The home was very beautiful and was very home like. The home renter was very nice and was very helpful with any questions or concerns we may had. Just the couple days we stayed there was amazing. We will be back again. We all loved it and next time we come down we will be staying longer. Thank you for such an amazing place you had that we stayed in.

Great place in WV!

Great place to stay near Romney WV. House was clean, host was welcoming! Easy in and out procedures. We really enjoyed our stay here. We walked the property and watched old movies on the VHS player. Beautiful area and perfect for booking a Potomac Eagle train ride in Romney!
