About this property

Potomac River Retreat - Shepherdstown, WV - Stunning views - 5 acres 4 BR

"Sunrise on the Potomac" has stunning waterfront views on 5-acres in a private community. 4 BRs + 3 BAs (sleeps 8). Great for a staycation, work-from-home alternative, or change of scenery.

Note: We are blocked for renovations Jan thru mid-Mar '24. Updated photos of new + improved property coming soon!

Shepherdstown is a historic and artsy college town that balances natural beauty with a quirky, bohemian culture. Explore historic sites, boutique shopping, great restaurants, and other amenities.

This one of a kind eco-friendly river house has four large and private bedrooms, two full baths, a great room, and kitchen with a big farm sized dining table for family meals. A hot tub is perfectly perched just outside overlooking the river and surrounding forest. Also on premise is WiFi, laundry, grills, an outdoor fire pit (please note that the indoor fireplace is decorative only and not for guest use), games / activities, two smart TVs, and so much more. Bed and bath linens included with the rental, no need to bring your own.

Less than a two hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Washington DC, but a getaway that feels like being in another universe surrounded by big trees, water, nature preserves, and historic sites. The house is a perfect place for a family or adventurous travelers who enjoy activities such as kayaking, canoeing, swimming, tubing, paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, biking or cave tours.

The waterfront house has gorgeous views for every season overlooking the serene water and the C&O canal tow path (no houses or unsightly buildings across the river). There are landscaped stairs from the house down to the river. Visitors have the chance to shop local farmers markets, go riding at the Whitings Neck Equestrian Center directly across the street, explore history in the surrounding area, and have a chance to experience the charming Shepherdstown complete with cool coffee shops, bookstores, an array of restaurants, artisan stores, yoga and reiki studios.

Comfortable, beautiful stay
We stayed here for a long overdue girls weekend. We enjoyed each having our own rooms and plenty of space. The view from the home is absolutely spectacular and we had lovely conversations sitting on the deck overlooking the river. Would absolutely stay here again.

Sunrise on the Potomac
Our family enjoyed the Potomac River views and peacefulness of the property. The location with nearby Shepherdstown and Harper's Ferry was wonderful! Wildlife walked the property, and the outdoor fire pit and hot tub were a bonus for everyone. The house is open and comfortable and the picture windows invited the natural elements inside for all to enjoy!

Family Vacation
Our family stayed at the Potomac River Retreat this summer for a full week. It was lovely. The location is great. The wifi was hit or miss... but we were on vacation so that was fine! The hot tub was great to have. We had a small problem with bee's, but the owner, Tony, let us know that he was dealing with a pest control company before we even checked in. His communication was very good. The home was clean and very unique! The grass roof was something I had never seen before! If I had to find one thing for improvement, it would be the curtains in the master bedroom. They are sheer enough to see through and if anyone was walking to the hot tub, they could see right in. This could be a concern of privacy for some. We improvised and personally was not that big of a deal. The town of Shepherdstown is very nice! If you like old towns with a unique vibe, this is it! Harpers Ferry is close by and also a great place to visit. DC is just an hour and a half away. We did a day trip. I recommend, if you are in to it, taking the ghost walk in Shepherdstown. It was very cool! Overall, it was a great vacation.
