About this property
Run away to the mountains of WV! Peaceful country home is waiting for you!
“Endless starlight, gorgeous views and tranquil privacy" is what our first guests said! Otters Way is a gem! Come and be enchanted by the sights and sounds of nature. Wake to the birds singing and deer wandering through the yard. At night enjoy a campfire or the deck firetable while watching the stars in all of their brilliance! Inside, cozy up to the electric fireplace and watch a movie or play a game. Only 10 minutes from the Potomac Eagle train. This beautiful 4 bed 2 bath home sits on 4 acres and features a private ( non navigable to river) inlet pond of the South Branch. The pond is home to river otters, beavers, blue heron, turtles, deer, and many fish! Take the boat on the inlet and listen to the birds and watch the turtles! look for the otters swimming! Hikers should visit White Horse Mtn. Historical Romney and Cumberland Md are nearby also. Otters Way is where memories are made.

About the host
Hosted by CYNTHIA D POWNALL-CORBIN
I purchased this home in 2006 to flip. Little did I know that there was an inlet of the river. We had someone do some clearing of the weeds and there was this amazing body of water, holding magic and serenity and a beauty all its own! Once we found that, I fell in love!! With the house and property and the area!! I knew this had to be "home"! My children and grandchildren and friends spent many days and nights fishing, barbequing and enjoying precious time together. When I remarried in 2011, I moved in with my husband and my youngest daughter and her son moved into Otters Way and made it their home for many years. She met her fiancé in mid 2018 and she moved to Capon Bridge as he owns the Imagimarium Tattoo Shop there. And so in late 2018 the renovation began (new roof, new HVAC, paint, furniture, etc. ). I completed the renovation in August 2019. I am so happy to be able to share this wonderful land and house with all of you! Making Memories! That is what Otters Way is all about. Making memories with family and friends. Come and experience all that Otters Way and WV have to offer!!
Why they chose this property
Otters Way is truly unique! The property features a inlet of the South Branch of the Potomac river that you can take the boat on (yes there is a boat, life jackets and paddles), fish and enjoy the abundant wildlife! (The water is NOT navigable to the river) There are otters, beavers, turtles, heron, deer, rabbits, and many, many fish!! Want to have a small family reunion someplace where people can spread out and enjoy, this is the place!! Beautiful home and land with extra large rooms (living room is 16 x 32, kitchen is 16 x 22, back deck is 16 x 16) and a private place to fish and boat! Welcome to Otters Way and WV!!
