Bedroom 1, the romantic room, enjoys direct access to the upstairs porch complete with 2 Adirondack chairs & patio sofa; sip your morning coffee whilst the sun rises or enjoy your evening cocktails with the setting sun overlooking 200+ acres of rolling hills, woods & the hills beyond. Bedroom 2, the middle & most charming bedroom, has a full size bed. Note: to access Bedroom 1, one must walk through Bedroom 2. Bedroom 3: has a single bed & is quaint & cosy. The property has 3 outdoor security cameras: one overlooking the parking circle; one overlooking the front door, and one overlooking the backdoor.

Had a great time in this old homestead. Was a beautiful stay in the past.

We had a wonderful Fourth of July weekend at this charming 1840 farmhouse. The location was excellent—just a few minutes from downtown Berkeley Springs and the grocery store, making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying a peaceful country setting.Check-in and check-out were simple using the lockbox, and our request for an early check-in was graciously accommodated, which we really appreciated. The Wi-Fi worked well, the beds were comfortable, the window A/C units kept the house comfortable despite the July heat, and the gas grill was clean, fueled, and ready to use. Our favorite spot was the front porch with the ceiling fan—it became everyone's gathering place throughout the weekend.The house has lots of character and truly feels like an old farmhouse rather than a typical vacation rental. It almost feels as though someone stepped out and let you borrow their home for the weekend. Some guests will love that lived-in feel. Others should know that the home is filled with collections, decorative pieces, china, coffee makers, and other personal touches, so there isn't much open counter or shelf space for your own belongings.A couple of things future guests should know: there is no dishwasher, and although we understood that, we were a little surprised that after paying a 120 cleaning fee, guests are asked to wash, dry, and put away all dishes before checking out. Stripping the beds seemed perfectly reasonable. We'd also suggest adding more comfortable sea

Enjoyed this weekend stay despite the rainy weather we had!

This is a beautiful property located in a lovely quiet area. I mostly enjoyed my stay while in the property. However, the listing does not indicate the fact that two of the three bedrooms are only connected to the hallway by one door. This may be awkward for some guest configurations as the person or people staying in the inner bedroom will have to cross through the other bedroom to access the landing and bathroom in the middle of the night. This was not a problem for us during our stay but would’ve best been indicated in the listing.Unfortunately, the check-out expectations are not clear and the amount of cleaning expected that are not in writing upon booking seem excessive when paying a cleaning fee plus a pet fee which is listed by VRBO as additional cleaning for pet issues.
