The place was good enough. Clean with the exception of the rafters in the living room (think spider eggs; ick). The big issue was no one in our group was the least bit interested in showering bc it smelled horrible. We’re used to well water at home; but this was next level and stunk the whole cabin up. We purchased a couple large water jugs for drinking and teeth brushing and no one washed hair until we got home. The cabin was perfect for what we were doing otherwise. Great set-up in a beautiful peaceful area.

Loved it! Perfect peaceful getaway. Matches photos, great instructions, very responsive host, and everything working well. Including jacuzzi, sanitary and well maintained! It’s a cabin in the woods so naturally a touch rustic. Water is fine but has a slight tint from iron content (excluding jacuzzi) so you may want to bring some if that bothers you – or not if your iron deficient! Thanks Tony!

Charming country cabin with a lot of character. We loved hanging out outside by the fire in the evenings. Lots of nice hiking options nearby. We would totally book again!

Tony’s place was not bad. Alot of the pictures did not match the house. the hot tub was dirty and green from the sulfur water, that also smelt really bad. they did come up and drain it and tell it so it got a little better. the home itself was fine. I personally would not return.

Wonderful getaway in the woods! We saw and heard so much wildlife and could see the stars so clearly at night from the hot tub. The listing was not kidding when they said the water had a slight sulfur smell, and I recommend bringing your own drinking water.

we booked this trip to reconnect as a couple, it’s a very intimate setting, some things have changed since the photos were uploaded. The hot tub is on the deck next to the front door, great location, the sectional couch has been replaced by 2 couches, not a big deal. The house was clean and orderly, the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. About half and hour to Berkeley Springs, lots of little shops and food and several spa’s. Will deff look for one of Tony’s listing’s again in the future!

This was my a great find, I suggest making all communications on accessing the cabin prior to driving up the mountain, the signal is spotty until you can get on wifi to communicate with the host. Grab everything you need before you get there as its about a 30 min ride back to town so you can relax and enjoy the view and cabin. I love to visit again great place.

We had a great time and loved that we were able to bring the dogs! The place is cozy and private. Once you get past the smell of the water, it’s hard to leave! I would go back. The house could use some TLC, but all around, everything seems to be working as described. Tony is very responsive too!

This is a cute cabin for a couple but the loft beds can hear everything, even noise from the bathroom. Highly recommend bringing drinking water because both the hot and cold water smell like sulfur. While it was functional, some maintenance is needed: the mantles are not secure, one even fell off the wall when someone closed the door.

This cabin is absolutely ideal! It’s in a quiet, peaceful location, but it’s easy to find and on a well-paved road. The host, Tony, is easy to get in touch with, and he is proactive with communication. He recommended some local places to eat, and he was super kind. The water has a bit of a sulfur smell, but it is in next to a town known for mineral springs, so I guess that’s to be expected. It is also mentioned in the house manual. This is a great cabin, and I hope we can come back someday!

We were very happy to return to this cabin in the woods to ring in the new year. Tony is very responsive and provides clear guidance prior to both check-in and check-out. The cabin is the perfect spot for a quiet and relaxing getaway. Our two dogs loved exploring the woods and we enjoyed sitting by the fire each evening. The hot tub was a bonus addition from our last stay! The only thing missing this year was snow 🙂 The listing is very accurate, and the cabin is equipped with all the comforts of home – all you really need to bring is food and drink. We look forward to returning in the future!

We had hoped the other reviews exaggerated the issues, but… The bed support is entirely lacking so you sink uncomfortably into the center all night, the fireplace chimney is in disrepair so you will have a great deal of smoke throughout the house, and the water from the faucet will smell up the entire place with a scent of rotten eggs. Other concerns: The hot tub seems to need attention as it was quite foamy; while we were told by the host not to expect anything in the kitchen or firewood to be provided, we were disappointed by just how little was provided (not one cooking oil, no coffee), especially for the nightly rate as compared to the other Airbnbs we’ve had; many of the light and fan fixtures were broken; the area did not feel particularly safe. (Some interesting characters walking around on the roads, some of whom banged on the front door very early in the morning and then continued to roam the private grounds.) We truly wanted to love our stay, but would not return.

Great stay. Had everything we needed and wanted for a little weekend getaway. The only thing was the smell of any of the water coming from the sinks/shower. Resembled eggs. Wasn’t always there but definitely not a great smell. Candles masked the smell. The home was cozy, comfortable and we had such a great time! Hot tub was maintained well and fire pit was definitely used. Would definitely go again!

What a beautiful cabin. It is better than the pictures. Very cozy, nicely set up. To be honest it was hard to leave. Only downside was the water smell, which wasn’t that bad. We brought our own water to drink.

My pipes froze and I had family in town. By the grace of God, Tony’s cabin was within 1.9 miles of my home. The cabin was a complete lifesaver and perfect for what we needed – heat, water and a wonderful place to stay. The cabin centrally located near hunting, fishing, biking, and both the Great Cacapon and Potomac Rivers. Tony replies instantly to messages and check up on us regularly. The cabin with rustic, clean and affordable. Thank you for saving the day!

Tony is an exceptional host. Very communicative and helpful. The cabin itself is beautiful, and has everything you could need. We utilized the fireplace and hot tub every day. The outdoor fire-pit was great once the wind died down. Our dog absolutely loved venturing around the woods. We will more than likely return to the cabin! A few things to consider and prepare yourself for that we also saw in the reviews prior to booking: – the main bed downstairs is really uncomfortable. We slept the second night upstairs in separate beds…which were better, but not by too much. The couches are very comfortable though! – the water is quite sulphur-y. Be prepared for very smelly showers, sink water, etc. I have been exposed to this through some family members house and this was quite a bit worse. Trips to town for water are easy. Based on the nightly price, we expected nicer beds and a main waterline filter. Hopefully these are addressed in good time to bring this place up to its true potential

Awesome cabin. Great outdoor area with hot tub and fire pit. Spacious and clean. Water has sulfur smell but that was something they are open about and we knew about, just stinky. Couldn’t get late checkout which we were sad about. Overall, we loved this place and will be back!!

Tony’s cabin felt like staying at your friends grandparents cabin in the woods. Very very private, cozy, and spacious. The hot tub on the porch was lovely and the fireplace was so nice to have fires in. There was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out in and relax. It could definitely use some love, but with a some fixes/upgrades it could be perfection. Tony was very responsive to all our concerns. Tips for guests: if you plan to cook meals here I would bring some additional supplies. The pots/pans are not great and I ended up buying and leaving a baking sheet there because there was nothing to cook in the oven with. The water is bad, but filling up in Berkeley Springs was easy and free.

This cabin is a great choice for a rustic escape in the woods, offering seclusion, a cozy A-frame design, and a convenient 2.5 hr drive from DC. We loved the fire pit, large balcony, and especially the hot tub, which was ready upon arrival. However, there were some challenges: the Wi-Fi was spotty, the Roku TV required an account, the stove was finicky, and the fireplace, while lovely, created a lot of smoke inside. The main bed had a dip in the middle, which affected comfort, and the dishwasher didn’t work, requiring handwashing at the end of our stay. The well water also had a sulfur smell as others reviews mentioned, which was manageable. Despite these quirks, the cabin provided the authentic, woodsy atmosphere we were looking for, with plenty of towels, percolated coffee, and a charming location. If you’re after a peaceful, rustic experience and don’t mind a few rough edges, it’s a wonderful spot to unwind and connect with nature.

Thr host canceled. day of arrival. There were wat we r issues. And, while the situation was not the hosta fault, there wasn’t any engagement after notification 3xcept to contact Airbnb for a refund b3cause they had nothing else available. When things go well, the host seems all in, when things go wrong, apparently they just checking out.

Friendly, proactive hosts. The cabin was clean and ready for us. Electrical and wifi worked great. We enjoyed the solitude and wildlife (lots of deer and frogs). The fire pit is big enough for a bonfire, we had to stretch to do smores. The water pressure is very low, it was hard to wash your hands let alone shower. The water is full of minerals, our dog’s bowl was mostly brown. We visited the baths in Berkeley Springs and filled up bottles with free, delicious, spring water. Be aware that the master bed has an old foam mattress that is no good if you suffer from back or joint pain.

The location was amazing! It suited our needs adequately. It was perfect for relaxation and the giant fire pit out front was very inviting. I loved sitting on the porch. I loved opening the windows to fall asleep to the sounds of the outdoors. Two of our three days we watched deer. Tony’s communication was very good. The biggest distraction to me was a very long list of maintenance items that needed addressed. None were earth shattering and everything was completely livable. But there are many “Berkley Springs area” cabins for similar cost and significantly better maintained.

We enjoyed our stay. Tony is great, communicative, and super helpful. The private, quiet location was what we expected and wanted. The amenities were great. You’ll see other reviews about the water, and that bothered us more than we thought it would both because of the minerals and the water pressure.

The cabin was just what we were looking for. Secluded with a fire pit, hot tub, and great grill. Nice, tidy, and clean. Perfect for two people who wanted to get away from the city for a nice, quiet weekend. The surrounding woods were beautiful and the road was both slow, barely trafficked, and far enough away from the house that we didn’t even notice it was there. We would definitely stay again!

My husband did get a tick on him so make sure after you walk the woods you look for ticks!

Tony’s cabin was truly an oasis of peace and quiet. The only sounds were the wind in the treetops, the crackling of the fireI had laid in, and the subtle hum of the hot tub pump. Truly, sitting in the hot tub with my wife and watching far-off lightning reflect up into the clouds while watching the stars overhead was incredibly relaxing. Thanks Tony!!

We enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin. The hot tub, fireplace, and fire ring were perfect for our use. We also appreciated the privacy and peacefulness of the property. The water might be safe to drink if you can ignore the look, smell, and taste. We got water at berkeley springs, which was much more satisfactory. If you like firm, comfortable beds, I don’t recommend this cabin. We ended up with backaches every morning of our stay. If you are looking for a mountain experience and don’t mind doing without the comforts of home – this cabin will be perfect for you.

This place was great for a weekend getaway and I have no regrets staying here. Pros: secluded but still good internet Host was friendly and quick to respond Hot tub worked great Fire pit was large and cozy Plenty of beds and seating Lock box makes check in and check out easy Cons: water did have a gross smell from the minerals (would recommend brushing teeth with bottled water. You’ll also smell like the water after your shower.) Tile on shower steps could use some attention as the are cracking and coming loose. Check out time was earlier than most places I’ve stayed at (10am) Overall I would recommend staying at this location. The host was great at responding and providing any needed help. While the water does have a bad smell as other people mentioned, it’s not a deal breaker. Just bring some bottled water and it’ll be fine for a couple nights. The many amenities will make for a fun getaway.

We enjoyed every single space from Tony’s place! The Cabin, the peace, and the experience was worth the trip and money 🙏🏽🤑 We would definitely come back!

This was a great place to relax and be away from the city. Our family had a great time. I’d definitely say make sure you have everything before heading back to the cabin from the store as it’s 20 minute drive. Definitely recommend staying here
