The Space:
Our large, family-friendly cabin is packed with amenities and fun for groups large and small.
The cabin includes:
- 3 bedrooms + a large basement sleeping area with three more beds
- Chalet-style lofted ceiling with large windows that let in tons of light
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- A huge wrap-around deck with a propane grill
- Kitchen with a dishwasher
- Central heat and AC (it gets hot outside in WV in the summer!)
- The fastest WiFi you can get in the WV mountains (25 Mbps)
- Downstairs pool table
- TV with dozens of movies, DVD player, and Roku
- Outside fire pit
Note: we have an indoor fireplace, but unfortunately it's not usable and is only decorative.
Our cabin also has access to a small private lake (shared with just a few other cabins). It's about a 100-yard walk down the hill from our place. The walk is a bit rocky and steep, but you can also drive down there as well (less than 5 minutes). There's a beach and a dock -- and another floating platform in the middle of the lake -- and it's stocked with fish (we've caught bluegills, bass, and catfish). We've gone swimming many times in the lake, but depending on the season it can often be murky / full of algae. So consider this more of a fishing lake. :)
We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).
We have a pack 'n play for sleeping, a high chair, and plenty of toys and children's books.
Beyond the cabin itself, we love how close to everything we are. We're nestled in the Cacapon Mountains, directly next to Cacapon Resort State Park. The park is free to enter, and has a ton of activities -- including another lake and beach, clay shooting, horseback riding, an 18-hole golf course, and miles of hiking trails.
Lastly, you can get to the city of Berkeley Springs in about 15 minutes. The town has been voted one of the top arts communities in the US, and the shopping, spa, and restaurant scene does not disappoint.
Guest Access:
You'll have the cabin and surround property to yourselves. You can also access the shared private lake.
The Neighborhood:
Tucker's Retreat is just south of the city of Berkeley Springs, and feels like a world away from everything. The cabin is nestled in the Cacapon Mountains on a quiet gravel road, directly adjacent to Cacapon State Park.
We love our private lake and beach. We often go fishing in the lake (and sometimes swimming when the water is clear). It's small, but it's perfect on a hot summer day. We have a few water shoes you can use, but please consider bringing your own flip flops or water shoes; the lake can sometimes get a little muddy near the beach.
When it comes to hiking and other outdoor activities, Cacapon State Park is right next door and has a ton to offer. There's no entrance fee, and there are dozens of hiking trails over 6,000 acres. Better yet, they have a ton of other activities like an 18-hole golf course, horseback riding, clay shooting (with guns/clays you can rent), and another lake/beach. We love it.
About a 10 min drive from our place is a small local brewery, Berkeley Springs Brewing Company. They're constantly churning out new beer (literally every week); we're big fans of their IPA and sour beers. They also have a smoker with fantastic BBQ!
Getting Around:
There's plenty of parking on site. We're about a 15 min drive from Berkeley Springs.
