Half Round- A Quiet Mid-Century Modern Cabin

Great mid-century modern style house in a nice woodsy development above Berkeley Springs. There is a community pool and tennis courts, several parks nearby and lots of good restaurants in the area. The host was super nice! We enjoyed it immensely!

The house was clean and provided all we needed. It felt very private even though there were other houses nearby. I enjoyed morning walks along the wooded roads. The only area that could use improvement is the indoor lighting. More and/or brighter lamps would help a lot.

Could use some updated furniture. Other than that everything was great

A fabulous, mid-century retreat in the woods!

Quiet and cozy for a mid-week girl's spa break. Close enough to town for an easy drive for lunch and dinner.

Fantastic home away from home! Very inviting, stylish and in a convenient location. Highly recommended!

The home was prepared for us for a smooth arrival. Plenty of firewood to keep us warm and beds we're sufficiently stocked with blankets. The atmosphere in the cabin is nice, with a cohesive style and plenty of seating. The cabin is located conveniently close to downtown Berkeley Springs, but far enough away to feel remote. Neighbors were hardly visible during our stay, making for a perfect getaway weekend.

Much enjoyed the cozy peaceful winter retreat. Loved the fireplace in the round.

The hosts was very responsive to all of our questions. The cabin is very welcoming, and in a wonderful location. Woodsy, great place to relax. And close to all kinds of activities and restaurants. Highly recommend.

This was our second stay at Half Round, and it won't be our last! We enjoyed the comfortable beds, mid-century modern decor and furniture and beautiful natural surroundings. Our family loved waking up in the morning, pulling open the curtains and taking in the view. We also read several of the architecture books on the bookshelf - a treat for the architecture student in our family! Nearby hikes and the town were a treat, as usual. Visited a few of our favorite shops, including the Fairfax Coffee House. Overall, Elissa (the property owner) was helpful and quick to respond to any questions. She makes the entire process easy! We appreciate the opportunity to enjoy this property and will definitely be back.

Perfect place for us to stay. Excellent communication with host. Close to Frederick, MD. Close to C&O and Western Maryland Rail bike trails. Close to Whitetail Ski Resort. Berkeley Springs is close by and has everything needed. Cabin was roomy with lots of space. Bedrooms were big. Kitchen had everything even a Keurig coffee maker. Clean bathrooms with everything needed. Check in was easy. Great place to stay in winter or summer. Check in was easy. Dog friendly for our miniature Australian Shepherd. He loved the cabin. Living room area is spacious. WIFI was outstanding for the entire stay. We had 3 tablets, laptop and 3 phones connected and never had any issues. Highly recommended for those who need a place to stay for bike trails, skiing or visiting Frederick, MD 45 minutes away. A

Yes Good communications

The property is very comfortable and a perfect getaway. The hosts were available and responsive.

Beautiful architecture and perfect location!We were so close to Berkeley Springs and Cacapon State Park couldn’t ask for a better mix of design and convenience. The owner was very communicative and even let us know about the Apple Butter Festival. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Cabin (and area surrounding it) are absolutely beautiful! Elissa and Michael were great hosts (also, directions for getting to the property were clear and helpful)! Loved the mid century modern furniture and really enjoyed the fireplace. Bonus: beds were super comfortable and appreciated all of the smaller details (plenty of fluffy towels, recommendations for places in town, etc). Property was quiet, cozy, and super relaxing. Easy to get to town and the cabin had everything we were looking for!

Nice quiet property, owners were responsive when we had a concern. This property has no televisions or cable and no outside fire pit. For 250 per night it’s on the upper end compared to other similar properties that have more amenities near Berkeley springs.

We came for a nice quiet weekend and and it was great. I was looking forward to a nice cozy fire in the fireplace but the temperatures were too warm outside. There are a few close neighbors and not much traffic at all, just a little bit more than I would have liked. It was a bit difficult for my husband to sit in the chairs and get out of them (he's 72 and has back problems). The bed was comfortable. We had and enjoyable stay and can't wait to return!

A rating of 2 was given for check in process. It was very difficult contacting VRBO initially to get verification of reservations. Hosts completed that directly. Difficult again to contact and receive address and entrance code. Again, hosts had to intervene to have info provided. Location was wonderful, cabin clean and comfortable. Would recommend location but would caution use of VRBO.

Our stay was wonderful! The place was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. We truly enjoyed our time and had a great experience. Highly recommend

Super relaxing spot - waking up and staring at the woods while drinking a cup of tea. Nice walking trails were there too. Also just a 5-10 minute drive to town. Little touches were great - stack of fluffy towels, kerig cups ready to go, etc.

Half Round was exactly what we were looking for to get away from the chaos and traffic of NOVA over the long holiday weekend. We spent as much time as possible on the shaded back porch enjoying the view of the woods, the sounds from the babbling brook and the cooler mountain air. The inside was just as comfortable and had everything we needed (and what we didn’t, a TV). Would absolutely come again.

My family and I had a wonderful long weekend stay at Half Round. The house was cozy and comfortable - and the domed ceiling in the living room full of windows was fantastic, even in the rain. The communal space is separated fromthe bedrooms with a door, which adds another level of quiet - particularly great for kids who nap or those who need to sleep through an animated game night. The wooded community is quiet and peaceful - and just secluded enough to truly feel remote. With an enjoyable neighborhood walking loop, nearby hiking paths, and an outdoor rec space with sports courts and a beautiful pool, it was the perfect balance for our young family and a wonderful mountain oasis. Morning coffee on the back deck, listening to the stream and watching the deer climb their way up the hill makes it feel like you never want to leave. But town is a quick and convenient 8-10min drive away, if you want to grab dinner or take a dip in the fresh mineral water springs. This house definitely tops our recommendation list and we hope to come back soon. Thanks!

Great stay. Everything we needed was available at the cabin and the restaurants in town were great. Easy check-in/check-out, and great communication with the owners.

We had a delightful and relaxing weekend. The setting is perfect and we loved the open airy living room. Plus the shower pressure was wonderful. Thanks for being such great hosts! Would definitely recommend.

What a charming place for a trip with friends. We enjoyed walks, board games and relaxation. The owners were friendly and helpful. Beds were very comfortable and everything was perfect. Great weekend, would stay again

A great house. Windows provide a panoramic view of the gorgeous woods. The funky little fireplace heats up the room nicely and makes for great atmosphere. The amenities are nothing fancy, (a slightly better grill or a brush to clean it would be a nice touch) but it delivers a great place to gather and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The owners let us know the table was broken. Once that gets replaced we will be back for a summer trip to the woods.

We had a wonderful stay at Half Round! The view out the back of the house was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed the design features throughout the space. We made good use of the ample books and board games available. The hiking and biking in the nearby state park are top-notch, and the shops on and off the town’s main street only added to the experience. This cabin has everything you need to create plenty of family memories.

My husband and I needed some downtime. We had a nice, quiet getaway. The owner was super friendly. You could tell she genuinely wanted to make sure we had a good experience.

Half Round is very lovely and very comfy! The fire place is so cool and we used it every evening and all day Sunday. The beds were great and it is so quiet there which added to the feeling of being away in the mountains. The view out the glass windows was beautiful. We took walks on the roads and trails and the quick access to the local brewery was nice for a lunch out. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking all the rest of the meals and I particularly liked having a dishwasher for clean up. Check in was easy, communication with the host always quick and the instructions for check out were very clear and quick to accomplish. We had everything we needed for our stay. We recommend!

Very secluded property very close to town. Architecture of the house gives it a great feel and the fire place is very cozy. Would definitely recommend!

Well-stocked and furnished with midcentury modern/Danish style furniture - set in a beautiful serene woodland. So much fun to stay in a house with interesting architecture. Convenient to the fun town of Berkeley Springs.

Half-Round provided a wonderful quiet weekend retreat in a beautiful setting. Elissa was great in answering our many questions prior to arrival! We loved being so close to the TreeTops restaurant for several good dinners since the weather was frigid and snowy. One suggestion: if possible to install grab bars in the bathroom, handicapped guests would be safer while using the toilet and shower.

Thanks

My mother, sister and I had a lovely 4 nights winter stay at the half round house. Perfect tranquil accomodation in nature. Fantastic views on the forest from the comfort of the mid-century house. We loved the fireplace, however on day 1 there was no firestarter and needed to buy with wood the next day. The owners refunded 10 saying there is usually supplies for one fire. We also had to buy toilet paper. We enjoyed the many board games and books. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals. Beautiful surroundings, with easy hikes and a restaurant at walking distance.Hosts were responsive and helpful. Thank you!Highly recommended!

Our family and dog had an amazing Thanksgiving get-away at this impeccably curated cabin. We loved the tasteful decor and appreciated the extra details - the fireplace, design books, magazines, games - all of it a great touch. The cabin feels secluded without being too far from civilization. It was well stocked with ample amount of firewood, coffee and kitchen essentials. We were able to cook an entire Thanksgiving meal! We highly recommend staying here. It was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay at Half Round again.

Great cabin in a wonderful community. Exactly as described, super easy process and great communication. Thanks!

Clean, cozy, lots of afternoon sun, responsive owner. We love this location for woodsy quiet time and long walks with our pup!

This our second time renting this half round cabin. Both times have been excellent! The host is the best. Her communication was marvelous. The cabin is clean and stocked. Me and my partner had an amazing time again. Thanks again Elissa, we feel so valued by you! My fiance's bday was wonderful!!
