We loved our stay here. I would highly recommend for families. There were two nice bedrooms for adults, and the bunk beds were comfortable enough that our teenagers did not complain. Some notes:
1) The family area has a very large porch attached to it. While there is plenty of seating for 8 at the table and on the couches, the completely screened porch makes this cabin much more spacious. Hardly a waking moment that some people were not sitting on the porch.
2) Our stay was end of July. The cabin has only one window unit, but it did a decent job keeping the family room cool. The bedrooms do get a little warm during the day when the temperature hits the mid 80's, but not sweaty hot. There were also plenty of fans. In the evenings, the bedrooms all cool down.
3) The kitchen was well equipped with cooking equipment. Nice knives, pots, pans, a handheld mixer, etc. There were not many spices in the cabinet, but that might be a COVID era thing.
4) There was cut wood underneath the porch for the firepit. Much appreciated.
5) Bring Water Shoes! Lots of fun swimming, but the rocky bottom of the river can be hard on bare feet. Once we equipped the kids with water socks, they stayed in the river all day, every day. The river is about 75 steps from the firepit, pretty close, a short 45 second walk. We were there in July, and the Cacapon river was very low due to the time of year. Most of the river is between ankle and knee deep, but there is a large, deep area just to the left of the path towards the other side that was over 6 foot deep.
6) Bug spray and sunblock are essential in summer months
7) There were a few fishing poles on the property. Worm pieces on small hooks underneath bobbers were catching dozens of bluegill and small rock bass every day. For ages15+ be sure to buy fishing licenses online. Bring your own hooks and bobbers. Tackle and worms are available at Doris's Deli or in Berkely Springs.
8) We enjoyed the guided river float, even though the river was low. Beautiful.
9) There is a large unfinished basement not in the pics that should provide extra room on rainy days.
10) There is a washer and dryer in the basement, not mentioned on the listing. Was helpful.
11) 40 gallon hot water heater was a champ for our group of 8.
12) Overall, the cabin is pretty quiet. One other cabin, 50 yards away, difficult to see thorough the trees. This place is off the beaten path and away from the road.
