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 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 restaurants, 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 ideal for that morning walk or exploring nature. Adjacent public land offers miles of hiking trails and a 205 acre fishing and canoeing lake. Local streams and rivers provide some excellent fishing and canoeing 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.

    Group of 7 guys. Had an amazing time. Very private, clean, and Larry was super chill. Would absolutely come back for another stay. As noted by other guests, the staircase is narrow and steep. Also worth mentioning is that there is no dishwasher, if that matters to you.

    Very nice and private property with lots of open space and trails to walk on. The place is rustic, but has everything you need including a giant fireplace. The hot tub was great too. I hope to visit again soon.

    Spacious, clean, inviting, warm. Everything we anticipated and more. Spent most of the time outside hiking and enjoying the nature, but the evenings in the hot tub and playing games was complimented by the warm environment and calming surroundings.

    This was such a great experience for our family this past weekend! There were 6 adults and 7 children, plenty of room for everyone. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the wood stoves were great, and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, including very comfy flannel sheets on the beds. Larry, our host, was very quick to respond to my questions prior to our stay. All 13 of us give this property a 10/10, and we would stay here again for sure!

    We chose this location for a girls’ weekend. The property is very private with beautiful views! It is very rustic, perfect for a trip to the mountains/ woods. All beds are on the second floor, up a narrow set of ladder steps. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy time away

    Overall we had a good time on our stay. We had just the right amount of kids and adults to fit the beds available. Beds: left wing had 3 rooms (2 with doors) and all with double beds, there were 2 bunk beds in the loft area (only 2 had mattresses), right wing had 2 rooms (1 with a double and a single) (1 with two doubles). There were 4 window A/C units. This was like camping at a lodge. Small oven, old microwave, small stovetop. 1 working drip coffee maker.Larry was very immediate with responses. The listing just needs to be updated for people to be able to make the best decision for their group.

    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.

    We came from several locations to attend a wedding and wanted to stay in a big comfy house together. The property was perfect and the host was fantastic. Absolute stay.

    Just had my 4th stay at the Bavarian Cabin! It’s perfect for large groups or just a few people. It’s very private and cozy!

    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!
