About this property

Bavarian Style Country Home on 120 Acres of Fields and Forests

Welcome to Elk Branch Lodge, a sprawling two story country home that easily accommodates family reunions, group gatherings, or romantic getaways for two. The Lodge is not just someone's second home in a busy commercial development. It is a special private place in the country, nestled in the mountains surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. It is also a working horse farm with pastures and wooded trails. There is plenty of room inside for everyone to come together or to spread out into smaller groups. The natural setting will draw you outdoors where the wildlife, mountains and sunsets will work their magic.

The lodge is an easy drive from four National Parks and the historic villages of Berkeley Springs, Shepherdstown, Charles Town and Martinsburg. Unique diners and restaraunts, artisan shops , antiques, farmer's markets and even a casino round out the local attractions. We will help you discover whatever peaks your interest.

Bring your mountain bike, canoe, fishing rod, hiking gear, and binoculars, and enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer. We have a well marked trail system for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking. Adjacent public land offers miles hiking trails and a 205 acre fishing and canoeing lake. Local streams and rivers provide some excellent fishing and canoing opportunities and whitewater rafting and tubing is available in the nearby Shenandoah River.

We are a short country drive from Interstate 81 and less than two hours from the Baltimore/DC area.

A slice of heaven!

Just had my 4th stay at the Bavarian Cabin! It’s perfect for large groups or just a few people. It’s very private and cozy!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We traveled from DC for a quick weekend away. It was a group of kids (ages 2-7) and adults. There was plenty of space in the house to spread out and lots to explore. We loved the big fireplace in the living room. The listing could benefit from more information about what's provided but Larry was responsive and helpful with any questions I had. It was a great weekend getaway. Would definitely visit again.

Nice place but needs Pest control

Had a nice time at this property with few friends. Property is in a very good location with multiple bed rooms and bathrooms. However, we were disappointed with the hygiene as there were quite a few bugs such as roaches ants around the house. We also spotted Snake inside the house. Larry was kind enough to visit the property and take the snake out. We would consider going back if property is maintained well with regular pest control.

Lovely farewell to 2023

This home was exactly what we were looking for. The location is wonderful, and the rustic charm is etched in our memories. We enjoyed fires in the large fireplace as well as the kitchen stove the entire time we were there. They provided plenty of firewood for us. The hot tub was perfect after our hiking adventures, which are easily accessible in every direction. There was more than enough room for us as we were only 2. The only hiccup was checking in, as we did not hear from Larry after several attempts. We showed up and luckily the door was unlocked. Larry showed up the next morning and apologized and said he had an emergency, and we completely understood. But it was a little unsettling to show up to this place in the middle of the woods at dusk and not knowing if we were going to be able to get inside. Other than that, we surely hope to be back for another visit!

Family reunion

I have been trying to think how to write my review on this property since the trip itself was amazing and then I realized it had nothing to do with the property but the family I shared the experience with. If you have any problem with mobility, do not rent this property. I wish i had taken a photo of the stairs along with the step downs to adjoining rooms. A very steep set of stairs with no railing leads to the upstairs where all the bedrooms are located. I contacted the owner with my concerns and he stated I should have asked prior to arrival. Honestly, it never occurred to me to ask if people would have problems getting to a bedroom. The front door did not lock and often came open on its own. The owner did not respond to this. If you have a fear of spiders or bugs, i do not recommend. That being said, I don't have that fear, but others do. It is definitely a lodge! The lighting is interesting and I am pretty sure a safety issue. The hot tub was amazing although all the jets weren't working and the bee colony above it was annoying. I love bees but be aware if you are allergic. I don't believe I have ever given a bad review and this saddens me. If you are looking for a very rustic property this is for you.

Rustic getaway in WV

We chose this location for a girls’ weekend. The property is very private with beautiful views! It is very rustic, perfect for a trip to the mountains/ woods. All beds are on the second floor, up a narrow set of ladder steps. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy time away

Rustic WV Lodge

Overall we had a good time on our stay. We had just the right amount of kids and adults to fit the beds available. Beds: left wing had 3 rooms (2 with doors) and all with double beds, there were 2 bunk beds in the loft area (only 2 had mattresses), right wing had 2 rooms (1 with a double and a single) (1 with two doubles). There were 4 window A/C units. This was like camping at a lodge. Small oven, old microwave, small stovetop. 1 working drip coffee maker.Larry was very immediate with responses. The listing just needs to be updated for people to be able to make the best decision for their group.

Great getaway

We have a group of teachers who get away to this cabin every year in the early spring. It's always a great location. Close enough to go out hiking or to Berkeley springs for people that want to do that, but plenty of space to hang out if you just want to rest and relax around the property.

Secluded peaceful stay

Check in process was easy as was check out. Communication with owner was easy. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet the host but my sister did. This was a great place to relax between our hectic schedule. While i didn't have much time to enjoy it the rest of family did. The kids loved the trails and the bulls. I think we have all agreed that we would love the stay again when we can just relax and enjoy the area instead of last minute wedding arrangements!

Misinformation

The description of the property did not give the whole picture. It did not say that if mobility was an issue this property is not for you. The stairs to the bedrooms were very difficult to climb. They were narrow with a handrail on one side. Having a bad knee made them almost impossible. All the bedrooms were upstairs. If there had been an emergency getting down would be disastrous. I don't know if this property would pass fire codes. Larry the property check in person was very nice and helpful. The property seemed well maintained but way too rustic for my taste.
