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.
Whether you're here for outdoor exploration or peaceful river views, our Potomac retreat is the ideal place to unwind and rejuvenate while exploring all that the area has to offer (and there is so much to do!)

Peaceful porch views
Old time charm on the outside; clean, new and modern on the inside. The rental is small, but nicely done with modern features. The stone fireplace is so pretty with an electric stove inside. The bedroom was lovely with a comfy, king bed. The best part is the screened in porch that runs the whole length of the house. There’s a sectional sofa and coffee table, two rockers, and a table with four chairs on the porch. You can appreciate the old windows with their wooden shutters from back in time. We watched the birdies in the trees from the porch and glimpses of the river through the trees. Be aware the steps are steep leading to the home. They are well lit at night, as we had our dog with us that had to go out to do her business. Parking is tight, but we managed to get our full sized truck safely off the road. Overall, it was an interesting place to stay. The towpath along the river is directly across the street for walking, running or biking. We enjoyed Harper’s Ferry, Shepherdstown, battlefields and breweries. It was a fun time!

Perfect Retreat
This small cottage is so comfortable and well appointed. Directly across from the C&O Canal Towpath; it only takes a few minutes to get on the path. Although there is a lot that you can do in the area, we were in need of respite, so other than taking multiple walks a day, we enjoyed time on the expansive screened-in porch, looking out at the beautiful scenery and listening and watching the birds.We also enjoyed making meals in the kitchen and using the outside grill for bacon to burgers. We slept very well on the very comfortable king size bed. Serena is a great host as she readily replied whenever contacted. We are definitely planning to return. It would be so much fun to tube down the river.
