Property Description
Escape to your private river retreat on the Potomac!
Welcome to the ultimate riverside getaway. Our stunning river house, tucked among the trees, offers breathtaking views of the Potomac River and the iconic C&O Canal National Historic Park—affectionately known as the towpath. This scenic 184.5-mile trail stretches from Cumberland, Maryland, to Washington, D.C., perfect for walking and biking, you'll find the towpath right at your doorstep.
Enjoy the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort in our king suite home. Whether you’re relaxing in the luxurious king-size bed, unwinding by the electric fireplace, or enjoying the convenience of a fully equipped brand-new kitchen, this home is designed for relaxation and adventure. With high-speed Starlink internet, a 65-inch TV, and efficient mini-split heating and cooling, you’ll feel right at home in nature without sacrificing any modern amenities.

Property was lovely and well furnished. Great location next to C&O Canal towpath. Host was very responsive. The stairs are quite steep at the top.

Well appointed home with great use of the space. Comfortable and modern furnishings, everything you need in a kitchen, and the best screened in porch. The owner was quick to answer questions before booking, and provided easy check in/out. The location was right across the street from the C&O towpath, where we enjoyed our walks. As the property listing and others have noted, parking is at the bottom of several stairs to get to the door.

This is a wonderful place. A great place to relax and to be close to the C and O Canal towpath for a bike ride or the Potomac for a swim or Kayak. It was nice being near Shepherdstown to take advantage of a small college town with good food and eclectic shops

From check in to check out easy breezy. Stay Monday-Friday had late check out so we could enjoy a few more moments of serenity. Place was amazing and host was accommodating. Enjoyed the woodsy atmosphere. Weather perfect for us. Went to Antietam National Park visited Harper’s Ferry. Got take out at Paddy’s on our way back from Harper’s Ferry in West Virginia which was amazing. Can’t wait to come back for a second stay.

Beautifully furnished with everything I needed. Canal towpath was amazing and the highlight of my stay. The last 10-12 steps to entrance were, however, extremely challenging for my aging legs. Oh and the screened porch, where I spent most of my time when not walking the towpath, was my favorite thing about the house. I highly recommend this property for anyone who doesn’t have problems with lots of steps.

Potomac - C&O Towpath
Wonderful location near small towns, civil war battlefield, and the C&O Towpath for biking. A charming cottage with an amazing screened in porch.

Wonderful screened in porch and house !
We're loved the layout of the house and the screened in porch! So isolated and quiet! Access to the towpath was wonderful! Definitely a place we would visit again!!!
