Only at a few places, the Potomac river carved meandering canyons or necks through the rocks. Only a few houses are actually built on such such necks looking down on the river. Half a century and longer ago, such places were the first to be bought. So, the greatest views have rather dated houses. We own such house with the greatest view of our HOA. BUT, we like old houses, but we also love modern comfort. So we totally remodeled our house, keeping the cozy warm feel of a well-lived house while making it comfortable with all the modern amenities of a brand new home.

Fabulous views for wedding and family pictures; the fire pit is on a rock looking over the Potomac; about 10 mi upstream from Harper's Ferry; Antitam Battlefield is just accross the river; fabulous dining places in historic Shepherdstown; Great hikes on the Appalachian trail; great fireplace; bicycles for rent in Shepherdstown. The house is our home, so it is far nicer than a mere vacation rental place. Wildlife and birds are everywhere. A visiting friend once said "you guys live in a dream come true" and right he was. We make this available only a few times per year. Office space with 2 tables available for meetings & office retreats. Basics needs like coffee, sugar, cream, herbs etc. in kitchen.

Please note that flowers and autumn colors are seasonal and probably will not coincide with your staying period. Also: we clean the house before your arrival, but an occasional spider, millipede, forest mouse or another forest critter may find its way in from the woods. That is unavoidable in a house in the forest. If you are uncomfortable with that, please don't rent our house. We only rent out 7 weekends per year and want our guests to have a wonderful experience and avoid an experience similar to those guests who had city-like expectations and downgraded our otherwise perfect 5 star rating.

Our firewood pile can be used with moderation for the fireplace in the winter or the fire pit in the summer. 1 canoe and 2 kayaks may be borrowed to peddle down the Potomac River. The path through the rock garden is not to walk on. It is cute but not level nor stable. Just walk on the green.

We live in this house and love it. We just leave everything in place for you to enjoy. We think it is convenient for you to find basic things in the kitchen, so we don't clean out our cabinets with spices, salt, sugar, etc. Whatever edibles you find in the kitchen, use it.
Whether this is for a happy event, a family or office retreat, we want you to have a wonderful time in our dream house on the Potomac Canyon, while we go visit our grandchildren out West.
