About this property
Cozy Custom-built Cottage in pleasant Point of Rocks with WiFi and AC
This is a tiny home located in a safe, quiet residential neighborhood 1 MILE from C&O towpath/MARC train; close proximity to downtown Frederick, Leesburg, Brunswick, Harper’s Ferry, etc. The arrangement is an ideal crash pad for somebody with minimalist tendencies or folks traveling along the C&O towpath. It is custom-built by the homeowner and has full electric hookups with WiFi. No shortage of love has been given to make this a lovely and comfortable little gem!
Detached sink and shower are available through warmer months (March-October). Porta John is on site and is fully serviced each week.
Functional wood stove and brand new mini split provide heat and AC for your comfort. Well insulated and cozy. Has a loft, great ventilation and gives off a pleasant pine aroma!
A nicely landscaped and spacious yard offers privacy with use of grill, solostove fire pit and plenty of firewood. Off-street parking is available with police cruiser (when off-duty) sharing space for added security.
Due to concerns for guest allergies, NO PETS.
***The cottage is suited for 2-4 guests, but the yard can accommodate additional guests equipped with tents (if hiking/biking the local towpath). There’s a lean-to for tents/sleeping/outdoor shelter, etc. ***

We spent a night at this cute tiny house while biking the C&O Canal. It was very clean and just perfect for our stay! Alex could not have been more helpful ! We would highly recommend a stay here for anyone for any reason!
An ideal stop over for someone biking the rail trail. Or, in our case, catching a concert at Wolf Trap. The cabin is clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Quiet neighborhood.
Comfy mountain-style hideout near the C&O Canal Towpath
This beautifully-crafted wooden tiny house is thoughtfully appointed to feel like a relaxing mountain cabin. The mini-split air conditioner maintains a comfortable temperature quietly enough that you can still hear the cicadas outside.The well-kept porta-potty is steps from the front door, and the pleasantly strong warm open-air shower with privacy is on the host’s side porch. It is just across a shaded backyard from the door of this charming and reasonably-priced place to rest. A sink with hot and cold potable water is there too. You have plenty of privacy at this VRBO.Food tip: Consider bringing your own cold or microwavable breakfast supplies. Although this cabin includes Keurig coffee, popcorn, water, and a couple bags of trail mix, Point of Rocks is a 1,500-person town — so your closest hot breakfast options appear to be 10 miles away in Brunswick, MD and Lovettsville, VA. For us, comfort food from the Lovettsville Diner powered my body, and a handy outdoor outlet by Custom Cottage host Alex’s driveway powered my e-bike. This is a great option for C&O travelers, since it is just 1 (uphill, mostly on-street) mile off the towpath. We had a delightful stay, and I would definitely return.
