Love this place

Lovely property, gorgeous view and the host was very kind. The road to get here is a little tricky to drive, especially if you have a non-all-terrain vehicle but other than that, we really enjoyed our stay

Gorgeous view!

Beautiful view. Check in process was easy, clear instructions for check in and out. Host was great at communication and quick response. Location is difficult to find but not impossible, if following the instructions from the host. Not incredibly local to town but a quick 15 min drive will have you in the nearest. Tons of activities at the house, was unaware it was in a neighborhood it was in but still quaint. Would definitely recommend!

T-giving 2024

Thanksgiving weekend with nearby family. Cottage is spacious and clean. Great fireplace and very comfy beds. Turkey dinner for 4 was a delight. Located on top of the mountain overlooking Charles Town. The host’s recommendation of an SUV or more is correct. The uphill road is gravel with ruts but not treacherous. Cabin in the woods is a great description.

Lovely Property

We had a great time! The property was beautiful, and Richard is a great host. The roads leading there are not paved, and have a lot of pot holes and bumps, and you’re going up a mountain, so there is a steep incline. We navigated them fine in our Honda Odyssey, it just took some extra time and care. The home itself was very clean and comfortable. There were plenty of supplies for cooking, and grocery delivery from Walmart was easy to set up ahead of our arrival. We did order DoorDash our first night, and that delivery also went well.

Great!

Everything was great! Awesome location and gorgeous views! The only thing i could complain about was the map to get there. I would just make it clear that there are 2 entrances to the neighborhood, Oak Road that was on the map and the other way the GPS says to go. We figured it out though and it was great after that, much better roads. I would definitely recommend!
