Breathtaking! 5 Acre Private Riverfront Cabin in the Mountains!

Experience the natural beauty and comfort of The Cacapon River Lodge — an extra cozy, private 5-acre river mountain cabin. Nestled along the gorgeous curves of the Cacapon River and hidden among lush West Virginia mountains, this waterfront oasis offers both relaxation and exploration.

Sip coffee and watch birds drift from the towering sycamores lining the river. Enjoy lunch al fresco on the treetop deck spanning the entire length of the house. Put a kayak in the water outside your back door and drift with the current while winding toward the Potomac. Enjoy a beverage next to the dancing deck firepit as the sun sets over the soft peaks and the kids play ping pong downstairs. Soak in the hot tub listening to the bubbling of the inky blue river drift under the moonlit mountain. This place is one-of-a kind.


THE HOME...

The Cacapon River Lodge offers the best of the past and present -- a rustic 1970s river mountain getaway that’s been carefully upgraded. The home includes all the modern amenities you expect while maximizing the nostalgic charms of a cherished family vacation retreat ripe for making memories.

The main features include: 5 bedrooms, 2 baths; high speed WiFI for streaming; enormous deck with million dollar river-mountain views; cozy screened-in porch perfect for reading, napping, and socializing; open, two- story skylit living room with exposed beams; fully stocked kitchen with electric stove and all necessary equipment for delicious meals; two refrigerators; washer and dryer; an entertainment level with ping pong, air hockey, and foosball; bar setup; board game nook; movie watching hub; two outdoor wood fire pits; gas deck fire pit; HOT TUB; and many other hidden treasures.


THE LOCATION...

Only 20 minutes from historic Berkeley Springs, the cabin is an easy trip from all directions and especially convenient for those in Washington DC, Baltimore, or Northern Virginia.

If you’re looking for pure R&R, then you never have to leave the property. But if you want to explore, you’re steps from adventure. You can swim or kayak in the river directly in the backyard, travel to the Cacapon State Park, ride your bike through the Paw Paw tunnel, fly fish, find one of the many hiking trails scoured throughout the area, or drive 10 minutes to Panorama Overlook which National Geographic ranked as one of the 5 best overlooks in the East!

For a touch of activity, Berkeley Springs is a legendary spa town -- a thriving little community of restaurants, shops, bars, art galleries, a classic one-screen theater, natural spring baths, and an abundance of artsy charm. It even has a castle!


THE RIVER/PROPERTY:

The cabin sits on 5 acres of riverfront along the Cacapon. The house is built above the floodplain and stairs lead down to a flat clearing perfect for any number of activities. The river itself can be accessed along any point of the property (be warned that it is untamed). The land ends at a public entry point which is a perfect starting or stopping point for canoes or kayaks. There is also a private area near the edge of the property that slopes into a level riverbed to place chairs, sunbathe, skip rocks, or wade into the water for a dip.


NOTE:

This is a unique cabin with two open-riser spiral staircases, cable deck railing, and outdoor railroad tie stairs. These and other carefully curated features add to the distinct character and charm of the property. But they may pose safety risks for very young children and those with mobility challenges. Please ensure you and your family are comfortable with these elements before booking. Feel free to reach out to us with any specific questions about safety and access.

Ideal Mountain Retreat
My family had such a good time staying at this property. It was very well appointed, the surrounding property was beautiful, and the decor was so well done - I'd call it "retro cabin chic". Everything we wanted for a peaceful and fun time together, and the three teens in tow were definitely entertained between the game room, hot tub, fire put, and river access. We'll definitely be back!

wonderful getaway!
Rented this adorable cabin for the 8 of us (2 families) for 5 days and we loved every minute of it! very comfy beds, and cozy cabin decor. Very private cabin and felt like we were deep in the woods, yet w/ a beautiful river just down the steps and across the wooded lawn! We tubed and swam and tried river fishing! We explored the lovely town of Berkley Springs and took a ghost tour, shopped, and ate our way through town ;-). We walked/hiked Paw Paw tunnel area. We cooked dinners in the cabin, played games, made s'mores and watched movies. Just what we were looking for - we all hope to come back sometime soon!! Thank you for being such wonderful hosts!

A great stay
We unfortunately stayed in one of the hottest weeks of the year. The river was low and the air inside resetting to 82 each day kept the house overly hot. The house had everything to offer as far as games, indoor and outdoor seating, and porch views of the river. We didn’t get to have an outside fire, but the fireside chairs could use some repair work. The hosts were exceptionally responsive to questions. It was a great family vacay.

This property was perfect for our family vacation - ages 5 to 68. The beds were comfortable, it was clean and exactly as advertised. The host seems very thoughtful with many nice touches. We loved swimming, tubing and fishing in the river. It is a very private spot. Everyone loved it!

Amazing Property
This is a stunning, beautifully decorated, well stocked house with a view and an incredible river access point. We spent the days just lounging about in the river chatting with the occasional kayaker who passed by, sitting by the firepit at night, and playing games on the beautiful screened-in porch. Two fridges, games in the basement, easy water access - might be one of the best VRBO rentals we've ever had. Already planning on booking again for next year.

Guys Trip
Every year 5 of us head to this area in West Virgina to kayak and get out of cell phone range for a few days. For us this cabin was a great option due to the river front property and large number of bedrooms. This would also be an ideal property for a family or extended family trip. Great area, house was decorated nicely and communications with owner were clear and accurate. We look forward to visiting this location again in the future.

Great Board Game Escape
Great cabin with lost of room and charm, in an easy to get to location! About 10 of us convened for a week of board games and hanging out, and loved that there was enough space to spread. There was plenty of table space to setup gaming, and we made great use of the gas firepit and hot tub. We had one slight issue but our hosts were easy to get a hold of, and quick to have someone sent out to check the house. Looking forward to another future outing here!

The house was super cute and had plenty of room for our family trip. The river was a short trip down some stairs and the kids loved it! We played in the river every day and had lovely dinners together at night.Kyle & Paul did an amazing job on the house and gave us all the information we needed up front so we could relax and enjoy our time right away. We will definitely be back again! Thank you Kyle & Paul!

Nice large WV house near stream but too many small issues
The house was cute and decorated very well. Kitchen utensils/pans made cooking easy. Beds were clean and comfortable. Lawn wasn't cut so we couldn't play outdoor games bc of the front and backyard grass height . The "river" is actually a stream w only 4-6" in many places.... and up to 4-5' further downstream once in and floating. Need to negotiate lots of slippery rocks to get float in. Maybe higher in Spring but July certainly low. The spiral staircase was dusty and clearly not cleaned. Gas fire pit on the top porch was very nice touch. Appreciated welcome gift of a skewers and s'mores fixings - nice touch by owners. When owner contacted re only remaining filled propane tank seeming low and we hoped to use for grilling + propane fire pit they indicated we should simply inform the transition team upon leaving - they did not offer solution for our stay. Basement shower filled w water and didn't drain for 5-15min so you had to stand in other person's shower water - called owner and left message but no reply given. With strong rain there was some water leaking from basement ceiling . Also, bring your own kitchen garbage bags as only one is supplied in each of the two garbage cans in the kitchen. Size of house was great for our 9 people. Basement rec area and large deck were great. Peaceful location.

Great Family Vacation House
We met up at the River House for a family vacation. House was great, lots of room for everyone to spread out or gather together. Well equipped kitchen. Game room was a hit for hanging out. The fire pit on the deck was a daily meet up each evening. Whether floating in the river, exploring town, heading to the beach at the state park, or laying in a hammock reading a book, everyone found their spot! A great place to relax and enjoy nature! Host was very responsive.

Great Weekend Away
A group of friends stayed at the house for Memorial Day weekend and had a great time. The house looks great in pictures, but we were surprised by how many cool things we continued to find about the house. There are so many activities to do on the property that we ultimately decided to not do activities we had planned on in the surrounding area (except for a tubing trip down the road, which was fun!). The hosts were awesome and super responsive. I highly recommend staying here!

Out of this world on the river!
Just returned from an awesome weekend on the river in this beautifully-appointed house. Comfy beds, great lighting, well-stocked kitchen, many places to congregate, clean bathrooms, lots of towels, quiet, cozy….I could go on and on. You can’t go wrong booking this house. It’s maybe 20 minutes outside Berkeley Springs…be sure to stop at Prospect Peak overlook on the way to see 3 states from one spot. Pick up groceries at the Food Lion in town and get a bag of ice. There are ice cube trays, but a small bag came in handy. The tap water tasted good, but if you want the real experience, buy gallon jugs at the springs and fill them there before heading to the house. (There’s a building at the B.S. State Park that has bottles, then a public filling area. So cool!). Back to the house, bring your swimming suits so you can relax in the hot tub and wade in the river. It’s a decent hike down to the river, but so worth it for the view and the experience. The home has the sweetest side porch with a hammock and a ‘bird cage’ swing. Loved it! We had an early Thanksgiving dinner on the huge rear porch - plenty of seating for 10. Loads of games in the basement. Can’t comment on the TV’s as we never turned them on. Oh, and one of the best features - a fire pit with wood supplied in the front porch - AND supplies for smore’s. Wow!! A++++++

Great cabin in the woods. Perfect!
We arrived on a Thursday and stayed thru Monday. Upon arrival, we were greeted in the mudroom with a smores package (nice touch!), the house was very clean, kitchen well stocked (cookware, dishes, detergent for dishwasher and washing machine, coffee, etc), hot tub was clean and perfect temp, beds all made, bedrooms and bathrooms clean and stocked (beds made, plenty of blankets, shampoos, soaps, TP, kleenex, etc), gas grill and gas fireplace with plenty of spare tanks, firewood for the firepits in front and back of the house, and a view to die for. We even found a drawer of batteries and chargers saving the day for a computer mouse dead battery and a forgotten iPhone charger. AC and Heat (we were there in October) was comfortable and easy to use. Getting there was a breeze. Head towards Berkley Springs and then a beautiful scenic drive to the cabin over all hardball roads. The area around the cabin was quiet, calm, peaceful, and beautiful. The cabin itself sits above the river and you can hear the river from nearly every room and the beautiful back deck. The deck was well furnished, the fire ring was the group favorite, a nice big table and a great view of the scenery and the night skies. TVs had both DishTV and streaming services - great channel options for everyone. Wifi was great with no issues even when 7 of us were logged on or streaming videos on the television(s). We did some fun fishing (catch and release) in the river right below the house with some small mouth bass fun. Walking/Hiking was really nice with plenty to explore. The road is a dead end road with zero traffic. The entire time we were at the house, we might have seen 4 cars drive by? The house has an overall feel of a really comfy family cabin in the woods with all of the nice extras but none of the noise or stress from the city. Berkley Springs is a short drive away (about 20 minutes) and is a great experience. Lots of little shops and the Berkley Springs baths (day spa, mineral baths, etc) was a perfect relaxing day during our visit. Overall a fantastic experience and a favorite location for our group of friends.
