What a great place for our girls weekend! Starting with the ease of parking right in front of the house, and continuing with a responsive and friendly host, great backyard and very comfortable home!!! Ross gave us some great recommendations for restaurants, etc. which lead to an amazing brunch at Ravenwood among other adventures. Perfect location in town - easy to walk everywhere! Comfy and cozy - and we can't wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed home. You can tell the hosts care greatly about this house and the area. The house was immaculately clean, the linens were soft and fresh, and the furnishings were classy and well done. The hosts were attentive and communicative. If we come back to Berkeley Springs, we would be happy to stay here again!

Absolute best hosts I’ve experienced with VRBO. The house is beautifully decorated and has plenty of everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked and they supply plenty of towels! The beds are super comfy!! We really enjoyed the back yard area, which has a very nice firepit. The house is so convenient because once there, we didn’t move our vehicles again. Easy walk to everything we wanted in town. Highly recommend visiting!!

Absolutely gorgeous. Easy access to the town, location perfect. Felt safe and was very clean and comfortable. Not an issue for adults, but many breakables in the house so if maybe not the best for children. The clawfoot tubs are high and could be a challenge for older people. The hosts are amazing and very communicative. Overall, a great place and would definitely recommend.

Thanks so much! We agree this isn’t the best place for rowdy children (or adults!) as it has breakables, but we are so glad you found it to your liking and hope you’ll come back!

My three sisters and I stayed at the Congress House for our youngest sister’s 60th birthday. Our host Ross was great. Professional, friendly, and kept in touch when needed. This home exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean, cozy, and on point. It was obvious every aspect of this restoration and every room in this home was handled with such care and consideration from the furnishings to decorating; and the mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. We enjoyed the privacy of both the back deck and landscaped yard. We used the fire pit both nights. It was also such an easy walk to everything in town. It was simply a wonderful stay.

Ross and Alison have curated a wonderful place to stay in Berkeley Springs. It is refined, warm and comfortable. The house is beautifully restored, with wonderful artwork, a kitchen with all the gear and dinnerware you could want, copper bar tools for mixing your favorite drinks (mules recommended in the copper cups), multiple places to relax, both indoor and out, and plush beds to sink into at night.The location in the center of town makes everything an easy walk, with good food and drinks within a few hundred feet, and all the shopping and spas less than a 10 min walk away. The only time we got in our car was to get to the Cacapon river for some Kayaking.Ross deftly plays the part of a concierge, providing all the information you need, as well as recommendations for things to do in the area. He is proactive, responsive and friendly.We highly recommend a stay.

We had such an amazing stay at this Berkeley Springs getaway. From the moment we arrived it was clear how much care and thought the host puts into making his guests feel welcome. Ross was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure everything about our stay was perfect. The house itself is absolutely lovely - beautifully designed with a layout that feels both cozy and fun. Every detail from the decor to the overall vibe made it such a relaxing place to unwind. And the beds? Honestly, some of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in that we even came home seriously considering mattress shopping! Even though we didn’t end up having a bonfire, it was such a nice touch that the wood was provided. We did spend plenty of time outside around the fire pit, soaking up the gorgeous spring weather and having a little picnic with drinks. It was probably one of our favorite parts of the trip. The location of this house couldn’t be more perfect! Everything in Berkeley Springs is just a short walk away, which made exploring the town so easy and enjoyable. This was a great girls weekend getaway. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, charming getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Ross Martin

Host profile image
Ross and Alison bought a cabin deep in the woods of Berkeley Springs in 2021, splitting our time between here and DC. Two weeks a month became three, then four as we fell in love with the historic Town of Bath and surrounding Berkeley Springs. We moved here full time in 2024. (Be careful when you visit — this kind of story happens all the time!)

When this beautiful but neglected 1870 home in the heart of the Town of Bath came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to restore it and fill it with love, art, and beautiful spaces. We love sharing our spaces with people (like the yurt and campsites on our home property for friends), so it was natural for us to create a short-term rental space in town.

Alison is a psychotherapist by day and a lover of color, beauty, and art all the time. She taught herself decoupage and restored pieces for Congress House. Ali was the designing eye for all the spaces and the gardens.

Ross is a consultant in healthcare and aspires to be a competent woodworker before he retires. He did much of the work over eight months to prepare the home for you.

Why they chose this property

The Town of Bath was founded in 1776 and is full of history and an eclectic mix of generational families and regional transplants who fell in love with Berkeley Springs. Even though we live only 12 minutes away, we love having a place in town to share with the many people who return to Berkeley Springs to enjoy wonderful restaurants, adorable shops, and the many festivals, music events, and other happenings in this vibrant downtown. Mountainous beauty surrounds you and gives you access to many outdoor recreational activities.

On your street are two of our favorite spots in town — Creekside Provisions + Supplies is the perfect place to grab coffee, a delicious smoothie, a handcrafted sandwich or a salad while enjoying the small art gallery. Lots of perfectly curated items for travelers, craft beer and excellent wines are for sale. Tell our friends Sam and Jeff that Ross and Ali sent you.

The Cardinal Bar is managed by our friends Nick and Zach. It is open from noon to 2am every day of the year. It’s a vibrant gathering place with the best hot dogs — the only food they sell — you’ve ever had. Trust us on this. The secret is the buns, coated with a little Duke’s mayo and toasted on the grill.

Just around the corner is the Morgan Arts Council Ice House (Ross is on the board and chairs the music committee). We put on free concerts throughout the summer. You’ll find several pieces of art in our home from the wonderful Ice House gallery.

Two new restaurants are a short walk and we highly recommend both. Proof on Washington is a whiskey bar with a masterful chef. The Vine Trattoria on Fairfax Street features old world Italian cuisine and an excellent wine list.

Also a short walk away is the Berkeley Springs State Park where something is going on most every weekend in the summer.

The local farmers market runs from April to November on Sundays from 10am to 2pm. You might see Ross playing music there some days.

What makes this property unique

We’ve enjoyed many BnB experiences over the years. After a while, the spaces sort of blend together. There’s a certain standard experience you come to expect — clean, spare, and often devoid of character. Congress House is not one of those places. Each room is unique and filled with surprising touches. The backyard with its deck, gazebo, large fire pit, and English gardens is a private oasis and a perfect place to relax and enjoy a restful sit. Enjoy a grand meal in the formal dining room with seating for eight. Take a long soak in one of the beautifully restored circa 1920s clawfoot tubs.
