Great weekend in WVA

We had a great stay at the secluded cabin in the woods. We had a wonderful weekend and we would highly recommended the cabin. The full size video games brought me back to my childhood. The game cabinet is stocked full of family favorites. The WiFi was great. The big grill was big and got lots of use! The kitchen was equipped with everything that you would need. Two types of coffee makers as well—Kurig and drip. Bathrooms were nice as well, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, you name it, it was provided. Overall really nice stay in Berkeley Springs, WVA.

We had a lovely stay at the cabin. Retriever's Retreat is a perfect name for it . It's only a few minutes away from everything ,in Berkeley Springs ,yet feels so quiet and secluded . We started most days out sitting on the deck in the morning listening to the birdsong, and ended them there evening as well. We did some hiking in Cacapon state park and meandered around Berkeley Springs and all the shops and sampled some beer at the two breweries there.The rainy day we had we ventured to the farmers market and got some delicious fresh asparagus, tomatoes strawberries,cheese and meat to make back at the cabin. Then just relaxed, read some and watched some movies . We also loved that we could bring our dog Oscar along .It would be great to come back and bring family and or another couple .

Loved the cabin, the property, the location, the decor, the kitchen, and all of the amenities. I can see why it is frequently booked.

Great escape from the beltway!

We truly enjoyed the long weekend we spent at this cabin. The place was better then we expected and by far one of the best rental properties we have come across. We were pleasantly surprised by the amenities provided. We also loved having our morning coffee on the deck watching the deer and bunnies. Claudio was great and even contacted us while we were there to make sure everything was okay. We would definitely consider renting this place again the next time we need to unplug from the craziness of the DMV.

Uncleaned

The day I checked in I noticed that there was used towels in the bathroom, all of the beds either had the sheets thrown on the ground or looked like someone just slept in them. I messaged the host who seemed slightly unconcerned. Apparently they forgot to clean the cabin. They did send out a housekeeper the following morning but it interrupted our stay as even after we got back from the park she was still there cleaning. Safety wise, the sliding door leading out back had a broken lock. There was a piece of wood preventing the door from being able to slide fully open but being a female staying alone with my dog it was very concerning.

We had a great stay at this house. The house was exactly as described. We appreciated how set up the kitchen was. We cook and we used the space. We had all the appliances, utensils, pots and pans we needed. The space was incredibly comfortable although I would have liked a couple of additional blankets on the couch. The town of Berkeley Springs was enjoyable to explore and the Cacapon Park was a fun day trip. We enjoyed talking to the State Park employee at the Nature Center. The Shawnee Farm Market is worth a stop too. The folks there were super nice. We hope to visit again and plan to stay in this home.

Why they chose this property

On our first visit to Berkeley Springs, we were drawn to the character and charm that the town offers, and we soon found ourselves in the office of a local realtor ready to make an offer on a cabin near Cacapon State Park. The cabin had “good bones” but had been neglected by the previous owners. We spent the next year renovating “Retriever’s Retreat” (https://www.vrbo.com/130256) and making it into our haven from our hectic schedules and pace of life in DC.

As pet lovers, we are pleased to be able to share our pet-friendly homes with your family, and we hope that your time in Berkeley Springs offers you a chance to enjoy the company of family and good friends.
