It’s almost time for the outside shower to be turned back on! 

My absolute favorite feature at the cabin, even more than the hot tub. We brought the stones for the floor back from Spain!

Time for Party Business!

Hi Friends! The time is finally here. we are ready to share our WV cabin with you!

I acknowledge that I am genuinely terrible at making this forum shareable for us all to post pictures & see the calendar of when it’s available. So if any of you are good at this? I would be happy to exchange some days at the cabin for building a site that does the job.

OK! What do we have at the cabin?

WHERE- It’s 2 hours from Baltimore, 20 min from Berkeley Springs, WV.

WHAT- The cabin is 700 sqf indoor space with a huge screened in porch, hot tub, woodstove & fenced in yard on 2 1/2 acres of woods. It is in a community, not totally isolated. That means the main road gets plowed in winter & is accessible year round (4 wheel drive is needed if it snows to get in our driveway).  

PETS & KIDS? Yes! Both are welcome if they won’t destroy the place. The yard is fenced in. The house is reasonably kid friendly. We don’t have kids ourselves, so it’s on you to do a trouble check on any dangers lurking within. Let us know if anything is really bad that we can fix for future friends.

HOW MANY FOLKS CAN IT SLEEP? It sleeps 6 comfortably with a queen sized bed upstairs, bunk beds & fold out couch downstairs. There are folding cots & a couch on the screened in porch for folks who want to be closer to nature. There are also 3 cleared pads for tent camping outside of the yard.

I NEED FIRE IN MY LIFE- We have a wood stove inside, a fire pit in the yard & a second fire pit outside of the yard. Lots of wood & kindling stocked up.

HOT TUB??? The screened in porch has a hot tub for 5 people, towel warmer, ceiling fans, breakfast nook for 4, beer fridge, AN OUTSIDE SHOWER- my 100% favorite attraction.

CONNECTIVITY- Many phone services don’t work in our area, so be prepared to go out of range. Take a text break! We just got internet, so the TV has Netflix, HBO, etc for your viewing pleasure. We also have a DVD/VRC - the full set of Twin Peaks AND Dark Shadows on VHS for your throwback spooky cabin enjoyment.

SWIMMING HOLE- Wander out our back gate down a mossy path to Sleepy Creek- this is for guests of the community only & there’s almost never anyone else there. We have tons of tubes for drifting in the creek.

HIKING- It’s a short walk from the cabin to The Tuscarora Trail. Similar to the Appalachian Trail, only virtually empty. Other great nearby hikes are The Devils Nose & Cacapon State Park

I’m sure I’ve skipped a lot of relevant info, so feel free to ask! And again, if anyone wants to help build a site for us all to share, I am totally up for that.

Enjoy our cabin! Spoon & Lee

I’ll add more photos of the inside of the house this week.

Enjoy the screened in porch year round:

Breakfast nook seats 4, hot tub seats 5! Ceiling fans, beer fridge, cots & fold out couch

[spoonsrest]

Here’s the bulk of the house. Bunk beds, fold out couch, TV w/internet, Netflix, HBO, etc, dining table folds out to seat 4

[spoonsrest]

Check out our cute kitchen! It has all the mod cons. Gas stove, dishwasher,  filtered well water,  electric kettle, convection/toaster oven (that’s also an air fryer! ), electric coffee pot, french press, cloth napkins (so fancy! also eco friendly), pots & pans & knives

[spoonsrest]

Here’s our living room with bunk beds and fold out couch-. The upper bunk is amazing for reading & gazing at the tree tops.

*fold out couch is gone- nobody enjoyed it (: We now have a super cute vintage couch that seats 5 comfortably

[spoonsrest]

SLEEPING: This is the upstairs bedroom. We have a queen sized bed (pug not included), bunk beds downstairs, fold out queen sized couch & porch cots for sleeping.

BEDDING: Clean sheets will be on all beds. When you go, strip the beds you used & put on clean sheets. Please wash them & leave them in the dryer for the next friend

If you’re not into doing laundry on vacation, bring your own sheets & towels.

Sleepy Creek sunset

[spoonsrest]

Sleepy Creek at sunset. If you’re there mid June- the firefly’s are in full swing & you can watch them in the trees & reflected on the creek at night. We brought chairs & played some Phillip Glass & John Adams for a full show

[spoonsrest]

We made an Andy Goldsworthy style cairn down at Sleepy Creek last year
