Cacapon Resort State Park gives you 6,000 acres of mountain trails, a stream-fed lake with a sandy beach, and a Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf course. What it can’t give you is a private hot tub under the trees once the hiking boots come off. That part is our job.
At Blue Maple, we manage a collection of cabins across Greater Berkeley Springs, and several sit just a short drive from the park entrance. This guide walks you through the cabins we recommend most for a Cacapon trip, who each one is best for, and how to plan a weekend around them, so you can choose your cabin and book with confidence.

Hike to the Cacapon Mountain Overlook in the morning, spend the afternoon at the beach, and be back in your hot tub before sunset.

💡 Local tip: If you want to golf and hike in the same trip, book Stoney Peak Chalet for the shortest drive to the park and reserve tee times a few weeks out. Fall foliage weekends fill up fast.
Beyond the Park Gates
Staying in one of our cabins means you get real park time and a walkable historic spa town in the same trip. These are the stops our guests ask about most.
Berkeley Springs State Park
The warm mineral springs that gave the town its name flow right through downtown at a steady 74.3 degrees. Wade in the free spring pools or book a soak at the historic Roman Bath House, then walk to the cafes and shops nearby. It pairs perfectly with a night at Coal & Cedar, where the sauna and hot tub keep the spa day going.

A Weekend at Stoney Peak Chalet
Here is how a three-day Cacapon trip comes together from our closest cabin.
Day 1: Arrive and settle in. Pick up groceries in Berkeley Springs, check in, and light the wood-burning fireplace. Spend the evening on the deck with the mountain views, then finish in the hot tub.
Day 2: Cacapon day. Grab coffee at Fairfax Coffee House, then make the 10-minute drive to Cacapon for a morning hike or a round of golf. Spend the afternoon at the lake if it is warm, and head back to the chalet to grill dinner by the fire pit.
Day 3: Water and views. Book a morning float with Cacapon River Outfitters or a mineral bath downtown. Stop at Prospect Peak Overlook in the afternoon and end the trip with dinner at Lot 12 Public House.
Traveling with a bigger group? The same plan works from Owls Overlook or Mountain Maple, with more room to gather at the end of each day.
