Sunrise on the Potomac has stunning waterfront views on 5-acres in a private community. 4 BRs + 3 BAs (sleeps 8).

Great for a staycation, work-from-home alternative, or change of scenery. Recently fully renovated and better than ever!

Shepherdstown is a historic and artsy college town that balances natural beauty with a quirky, bohemian culture. Explore historic sites, boutique shopping, great restaurants, and other amenities.

This one of a kind eco-friendly river house has four large private bedrooms, three full baths, a great room, and kitchen with a big farm sized dining table for family meals. The two primary bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and are on the same level as the kitchen, dining room and family room (no stairs required).

A hot tub is perfectly perched just outside overlooking the river and surrounding forest. Also on premise is WiFi, laundry, grills, an outdoor fire pit (please note that the indoor fireplace is decorative only and not for guest use), games / activities, two smart TVs, and so much more. Bed and bath linens included with the rental, no need to bring your own.

Less than a two hour drive from the hustle and bustle of Washington DC, but a getaway that feels like being in another universe surrounded by big trees, water, nature preserves, and historic sites. The house is a perfect place for a family or adventurous travelers who enjoy activities such as kayaking, canoeing, swimming, tubing, paddle boarding, fishing, hiking, biking or cave tours.

The waterfront house has gorgeous views for every season overlooking the serene water and the C&O canal tow path (no houses or unsightly buildings across the river). There are landscaped stairs from the house down to the river. Visitors have the chance to shop local farmers markets, go riding at the Whitings Neck Equestrian Center directly across the street, explore history in the surrounding area, and have a chance to experience the charming Shepherdstown complete with cool coffee shops, bookstores, an array of restaurants, artisan stores, yoga and reiki studios.

    Really great & unique property! Private, very clean home, good location (close to Sheperdstown). No issues during our long weekend stay. Would recommend!

    This place is great! We stayed over New Years/winter break. Great views, all kinds of wildlife - we even spotted a big cat one evening. The home was perfect for our group of 8 - 2 families of four and our dogs. The kids enjoyed the assortment of games and the dogs had a great time running around at the bottom of the hill by the river. The place is located within about 15 minutes of everything you could need and convenient for visiting local points of interest, but still private and quiet. We enjoyed eating at Blue Moon Cafe (which allows dogs inside) in Shepherdstown. The hosts were responsive and easy to work with! Easy drive from the Annapolis area for us.

    This property was fantastic, better than could be anticipated. Spotless, well appointed. Lots of privacy on the grounds as well as indoor layout. The hot tub was perfect; a/c. This is the best stay our sibling reunion 6 of us has ever had.

    We had a fabulous stay. The house was immaculately clean and very well appointed. We had everything we needed and the location was perfect. The view of the river was beautiful and we felt very secluded and were able to disconnect and truly enjoy each others company.

    The home is lovely. Beautiful view of the woods and Potomac. Very private. Warm welcome from the host and a welcome basket of goodies. Unfortunately the screen on the porch door was ripped so there were frequent bugs on the porch and it could not be used in the evening with lights on. The town of Shepherdstown is charming with a farm market and cute shops and great restaurants. Grass roof is very unique. Really enjoyed our stay. Very relaxing get away.

    My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The view of the river was beautiful. The property is private with a serene vibe. The house itself was amazing, everything was well thought out, high quality comfortable furniture and bed, great kitchen. There really is a grass roof! Exceeded expectations. The pictures don’t do it justice. Excellent communication with Tony. Shepherdstown was a short drive away and nice to walk around.
