About this property

Bavarian Style Country Home on 120 Acres of Fields and Forests

Welcome to Elk Branch Lodge, a sprawling two story country home that easily accommodates family reunions, group gatherings, or romantic getaways for two. The Lodge is not just someone's second home in a busy commercial development. It is a special private place in the country, nestled in the mountains surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. It is also a working horse farm with pastures and wooded trails. There is plenty of room inside for everyone to come together or to spread out into smaller groups. The natural setting will draw you outdoors where the wildlife, mountains and sunsets will work their magic.

The lodge is an easy drive from four National Parks and the historic villages of Berkeley Springs, Shepherdstown, Charles Town and Martinsburg. Unique diners and restaraunts, artisan shops , antiques, farmer's markets and even a casino round out the local attractions. We will help you discover whatever peaks your interest.

Bring your mountain bike, canoe, fishing rod, hiking gear, and binoculars, and enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer. We have a well marked trail system for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking. Adjacent public land offers miles hiking trails and a 205 acre fishing and canoeing lake. Local streams and rivers provide some excellent fishing and canoing opportunities and whitewater rafting and tubing is available in the nearby Shenandoah River.

We are a short country drive from Interstate 81 and less than two hours from the Baltimore/DC area.

Great getaway

We have a group of teachers who get away to this cabin every year in the early spring. It's always a great location. Close enough to go out hiking or to Berkeley springs for people that want to do that, but plenty of space to hang out if you just want to rest and relax around the property.

Secluded peaceful stay

Check in process was easy as was check out. Communication with owner was easy. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet the host but my sister did. This was a great place to relax between our hectic schedule. While i didn't have much time to enjoy it the rest of family did. The kids loved the trails and the bulls. I think we have all agreed that we would love the stay again when we can just relax and enjoy the area instead of last minute wedding arrangements!

Misinformation

The description of the property did not give the whole picture. It did not say that if mobility was an issue this property is not for you. The stairs to the bedrooms were very difficult to climb. They were narrow with a handrail on one side. Having a bad knee made them almost impossible. All the bedrooms were upstairs. If there had been an emergency getting down would be disastrous. I don't know if this property would pass fire codes. Larry the property check in person was very nice and helpful. The property seemed well maintained but way too rustic for my taste.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We traveled from DC for a quick weekend away. It was a group of kids (ages 2-7) and adults. There was plenty of space in the house to spread out and lots to explore. We loved the big fireplace in the living room. The listing could benefit from more information about what's provided but Larry was responsive and helpful with any questions I had. It was a great weekend getaway. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely farewell to 2023

This home was exactly what we were looking for. The location is wonderful, and the rustic charm is etched in our memories. We enjoyed fires in the large fireplace as well as the kitchen stove the entire time we were there. They provided plenty of firewood for us. The hot tub was perfect after our hiking adventures, which are easily accessible in every direction. There was more than enough room for us as we were only 2. The only hiccup was checking in, as we did not hear from Larry after several attempts. We showed up and luckily the door was unlocked. Larry showed up the next morning and apologized and said he had an emergency, and we completely understood. But it was a little unsettling to show up to this place in the middle of the woods at dusk and not knowing if we were going to be able to get inside. Other than that, we surely hope to be back for another visit!

Family Outing

This place was awesome if you like being away from it all. No problem with cell service or anything like that but it was away all by its self. We really enjoyed it. We had three adult couples and six kids from 9 to 13 and they all loved it. (actually they didn't want to leave). Plenty of room to spare.

Excellent stay-will be back!

This listing doesn’t do it justice. This house is adorable, well designed and just the right amount of space for our 2 family units. The upstairs has 2 separate wings: 1 with 2 bedrooms and full bath, 1 with 3 bedrooms and full bath. The middle area is open to the downstairs and has bunks for older kids. The stairs are something to know about as they’re more like a ladder but our 2 year old mastered them by the end of the stay. The downstairs has 2 separate and beautiful living spaces and another full bath. There are 2 wood stoves and a beautiful fireplace with plenty of seating for lounging and eating. The outdoors is beautiful and the most private we’ve ever rented. Surrounded by woods and pasture, we enjoyed the fire pit and hot tub immensely. It is in nature so yes, bees and bugs were present, but not that it would stop us from returning and no one got stung by a single thing during the stay. The kitchen was very well stocked and we appreciated the amenities like paper supplies, linens and ice trays. Not to mention the trails and local attractions. Thank you for letting us stay. We hope to return on a sunny weekend to embrace all the property has to offer.

Family reunion

I have been trying to think how to write my review on this property since the trip itself was amazing and then I realized it had nothing to do with the property but the family I shared the experience with. If you have any problem with mobility, do not rent this property. I wish i had taken a photo of the stairs along with the step downs to adjoining rooms. A very steep set of stairs with no railing leads to the upstairs where all the bedrooms are located. I contacted the owner with my concerns and he stated I should have asked prior to arrival. Honestly, it never occurred to me to ask if people would have problems getting to a bedroom. The front door did not lock and often came open on its own. The owner did not respond to this. If you have a fear of spiders or bugs, i do not recommend. That being said, I don't have that fear, but others do. It is definitely a lodge! The lighting is interesting and I am pretty sure a safety issue. The hot tub was amazing although all the jets weren't working and the bee colony above it was annoying. I love bees but be aware if you are allergic. I don't believe I have ever given a bad review and this saddens me. If you are looking for a very rustic property this is for you.

Lovely girls birthday trip.

We took a lovely two days in this rental to celebrate my nieces birthday, it was amazing! I wish we could have been there a week. It has a fantastic rustic alpine ambiance. It is also huge. There are plenty of bathrooms and plenty of beds. The wood burning stoves were nice and toasty and kept the February weather out. Larry was a gentleman, he provided plenty of wood, and was very responsive to any needs. He even offered to loan us some milk when we forgot ours at home. If we have the chance we will definitely be back. My only regret is we didn’t have time to explore the acreage.

Perfect cabin getaway

Rented the cabin for an adult weekend away and was not disappointed. Reading the reviews I had a pretty good idea of what to expect and honestly they nor the listing pictures do it justice. This place is HUGE. YES it is a “rustic style” cabin. YES the water pressure is something to be desired (I’m assuming it’s a well). This is not for “glamping” people. Come here expecting an awesome cabin in the woods with heat, running water, wifi and lots of beds. The surrounding land is amazing with tons of easy hiking trails. The cabin easily accommodated 11 of us for sit down meals and fun evenings by the fire place with room for more. The hot tub was great and big enough for 5/6 adults at a time. Larry made sure our fires were lit and we had enough wood stocked for our weekend. We’re already planning our next return trip
