We were extremely happy with our stay. The perfect get away! And the fact that everything is supplied for you--all you have to do is bring your clothes! We were amazed at the size of the cabin. Very roomy.
The room was very clean, easy to find, great view. Over all , we throughly enjoyed our stay
Very scenic, peaceful and quiet. Everything you need for weekend away.
My sons and I spent 5 nights in this spacious cabin in the woods. It was a great spot for visiting surrounding Civil War locations and the local towns. Being in the woods and so close to Antietam Creek made the experiences even more memorable. Access and communications were timely and easy. Really a great choice!
It was great we enjoy the poor and the river
We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's property. The property was well stocked and although no air conditioning, with the pool and in the canopy of the trees, it was very much bearable. My favorite aspect was definitely the creek and getting to unwind peacefully. The place could use a good deep cleansing but you're camping, so for me it was kind of expected.
The Antietam Creek cabin was a great base for our visits to Antietam Battlefield and Harpers Ferry. Check-in was easy with the lock box on the door. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was cool and refreshing. The cabin does not have air conditioning, but there are plenty of fans to keep the air moving.
From the pictures on VRBO it looks like you can just walk to the river and get in but you can't it was so over grown that was impossible. If you were to kayak (of which we planned on doing) I'm not sure how far past the property you would have to go to get out. Needless to say we didn't kayak. We still had a nice week
We enjoyed the property very much everything was well organized, very equipped it was great even though it had no air conditioning that was the down side

My husband and teenage son wanted to get away from it all for the weekend and we couldn't have picked a better place to do it. The cabin was perfect. We never missed not having a TV and with all the canopy cover, the heat was not an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we had arranged a longer visit. Next time! The host was friendly, respectful and so accommodating.
Good location, good structure, not clean, good bit of bugs inside residence which was unexpected due to the price paid for the property. Wouldn’t stay here again.
Stayed one night Would be a cool place to explore more
Great home with accomodating owner. Nice qucik getaway
Nice quiet cabin stay.
The front room of the cabin overlooks the woods. The view is stunning. It was beautiful in August. I can only imagine how gorgeous the fall colors must be. We will have to plan another trip.
This property is a great little escape from the hustle and bustle of the suburbs/city. Trees surround this property and it is like a stilted tree house. It was in the high 80’s and low 90’s and it was rather cool with windows open and fans running. At night, was even a little chilly (which was surprising) and needed a blanket or two! House had all the amenities needed. Things are a little basic like the shower and could see some updating, but you do get what you pay for with this property. The only downside is that the pool isn’t heated and no lights at night (we rectified this by buying two camping rechargeable lanterns). I know heating can cost a lot to run, but would be happy paying an additional $100-$150 for the trip. Nonetheless, it was a great vacation. We did the battlefield, the Crystal Grotto caves and three days of tubing. First day, we started at the Keedysville (Hitt) bridge and did a little float to the house. Second day, we started at the bridge in Devils Backbone County Park, that tube float was around 6 1/2 hours to the house. Third trip, we dropped in at the house and went down to a nice 4 hour float. Saw a waterfall and floated on to Molly’s Hole at the park. Uber was our friend. We’d be picked up and just driven back to the house. We purchased xl River tubes via Dick’s at $26 each and purchased a pump. Much cheaper than renting through a company. Also, checked out the waterfall at Falling Waters in West Virginia. We bbq’d saw a ton of wildlife, from fish, to katydids, to many varieties of butterflies, saw two baby deer on the path of the property, a groundhog, snake, rabbits, turtle, even a weasel! Kiddos loved the adventure and the house. House was well stocked with tons of herbs and spices, to great cookware and cutlery. Only regret, was not going to Annapolis Rock! Did venture into Sharpsburg and the Blue Moon Cafe! Thanks for a great vacation, Lisa!
It desperately needs a good cleaning
We had a great time! We utilized the pool and the trail to the creek and the fire pit. We were able to check in early with easy communication with the owner. The cabin itself was so homey and loved the vibe! It was perfect for our mom/wives getaway!
