The Getaway that's Just Far Enough

Private 3 bedroom/2 bathroom vacation rental house along a quiet rural lane on a Christmas tree farm in Hampshire County WV (between Winchester, VA and Cumberland, MD). A good place for mini-reunions (we often have families from the DC/Baltimore area meet up with relatives from places west), a relaxing escape from the hustle-and-bustle, a good base for looking for your own vacation property in the headwaters of the Potomac River/Potomac Highlands.

3 bedrooms and living room sleep sofa sleep 8 (1 queen, 1 double, 2 twins, and queen sleep sofa).
Bath with shower for master bedroom, shared bath with shower/tub for remaining rooms. Linens and towels provided.

Washer & dryer.
Fully equipped kitchen with eat-at counter. Delicious water from the tap! Dining area seats 6 (or can be extended with available card-table and chairs.) Deck table and chairs for 6 with gas grill and peaceful woodsy view. Hammock in the back yard.

Window AC, elec heat & woodstove, WiFi, satellite TV & DVD player, games. TV in master bedroom is on same satellite box as living room TV.

Parking directly in front of house.

Our home is nearby, but across a wide lawn (about a football field's length distance), so handy if needed, but affording plenty of privacy. No other houses are anywhere in sight.

Near Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad (round-trip excursions weekends June-fall with daily rides in October), historic Romney (West Virginia's first town), Fort Edwards Visitor Center (interprets the French and Indian War), Cacapon River & South Branch of Potomac River for canoeing and fishing, Ice Mountain Nature Conservancy Preserve, the Paw Paw Tunnel, 3 Wildlife Management Areas (open for public hunting and fishing), several state parks (Cacapon State Park, Canaan Valley State Park, Lost River State Park) and Smoke Hole Caverns, Seneca Rocks, and Dolly Sods Wilderness Area are easy day trips. Several golf courses are within easy reach.

Rates include 6% Hampshire County Lodging tax.
