Weekend Trip to Smith Ridge Harper's Ferry
Great spot for a last second trip to the mountains and very close to the Appalachian trail. Matt made sure I had everything I needed for my stay and I will definitely try to make another trip here soon!

What an amazing retreat! We wanted to ditch the tent for the night and it was so worth it. The basketball court was an added touch of fun.

Weekend Trip to Smith Ridge Harper's Ferry
We loved our stay at Gracie’s Place. It’s a rustic and romantic cabin tucked in the woods, perfect for a quiet weekend escape. The host was incredibly thoughtful—he had everything we needed ready for us, including paper towels, water, firewood, and even a wine bottle opener.
The cabin itself was cozy and charming. The bed was very comfy and the personal balcony gave us a sense of tranquility, surrounded by nature. It felt peaceful and remote while still being close enough to town and stores for quick trips.
The only drawback is there’s a house nearby with a partial view into the curtainless window which took away a bit of our privacy. Still, the atmosphere was romantic and relaxing overall and we’d absolutely recommend this stay.

We had such a wonderful stay at Matt’s cabin! It perfectly blends the charm of the outdoors with the comfort of essential amenities. The setting was peaceful and secluded, surrounded by trees and nature sounds. The owner’s house was close behind but we didn’t hear any noise and everything still felt very private. He made sure we had everything we needed and showed us where to get firewood. We loved sipping coffee on the porch in the morning and stargazing by the fire at night. Even though it felt “off the grid,” everything was clean, comfortable, and easy to use — from the bathroom setup in the parking area and outdoor kitchen, to the heat/AC and hot shower! You can tell Matt put a lot of care into making guests feel welcome and at home. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway that offers both rustic charm and a touch of glamping, this cabin is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Loved staying at this little slice of heaven. Our host Matt was so accommodating and provided us with firewood and great vibes! He was great with our dog too. The cabin we stayed in was perfect - the bed was lofted with plenty of storage underneath for camp stuff. The shower had a skylight and hot water! And our view was fantastic, as the cabin is lofted up with big windows so all you can see are trees when you’re in bed. Had ac and heat, as well as a big jug of water. We will definitely be coming back, this was the perfect escape from the city. Fire pit was great too!

Matt's place is super cozy, clean, and well supplied. There's a little fire ring just outside the cabin, and the port-a-john is just a brief walk down the hill next to the parking pad. He has a countertop grill just outside the cabin that was perfect for cooking up meals.
The bed was comfortable and it was lovely to wake up with views of the trees. Matt was a warm and welcoming host and very easy to communicate with. Great spot for thru hikers, or a quick visit to the Harper's Ferry area.

We had such a wonderful experience staying here! The Matt and Bobbi went above and beyond to make our stay perfect — incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and available whenever we needed anything. The spot itself was ideal: peaceful, private, and exactly what we were looking for. The unit was thoughtfully set up with a super comfy bed and great AC, which made it so comfortable even on warm days. We also really appreciated that the host added a lock for extra peace of mind. You can tell they truly care about their guests having a great time. Highly recommend this Hipcamp — it deserves to be discovered!

Rodney was very communicative and made our arrival easy. The tiny house was perfect for my boyfriend, me and the dog. The horses were friendly. The dogs curious. And the goats interesting. I’d love to come back and stay longer.

Perfect stop over during my road-trip. It’s very clean, cozy, and convenient. I put my perishables and ice packs in the little fridge/freezer. Boiled water for my tea and instant soup. My dog and I enjoyed visiting with the horses and having a nice walk around the farm. Nighttime was peaceful and quiet for stargazing and getting good rest. Highly recommend as a pet-friendly place to stay.

This is my second time at Cross Creek tiny house. I had a restful, peaceful, safe stay here with my doggie. Place was clean, well stocked, comfortable bedding and towels, and easy access since I could drive up to the site. Host is friendly, communicative, and welcoming, definitely recommend to a fellow traveller. I could walk my dog around the property, the horses were such a calming presence, and nighttime was quiet and easy to get a good night’s sleep. Highly recommend!

14 nights at Cross Creek Farm
The tiny house was great! I stayed two weeks with my two big dogs. It was well laid out and had everything we needed. I ended up sleeping on the futon with my foam mattress I use while car camping because my old dog couldn't navigate the steep stairs to the loft, but it was actually comfy. The kitchen is minimal, but I could do a little bit of cooking and make coffee, so it worked. The house looks out on a pasture with trees hiding the road, so it was very private yet roomy outside, and the dogs had room to roam a bit (I kept an eye on them). The farm is very picturesque. The host was friendly and accommodating, the eggs were delicious, the whole experience was lovely if a bit primitive. Exactly what I expected!

Where to go
Greenbelt Park
Cozy up for camping less than 15 miles from the White House. With over 170 campsites, Greenbelt Park is the perfect urban camping getaway. It features flower-filled hiking and equestrian trails and Sweetgum Picnic Area, which has a playground for kids. Full hookups, fire pits, potable water, and picnic tables offer RVers and tent campers alike a comfortable home base near the nation’s capital while exploring local nature, historical sites, and NASA Goddard Visitor Center.
Shenandoah National Park
Venture to Northern Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park, less than two hours from Washington DC. Rolling hills, hiking trails, and waterfalls wisp through the land, creating epic views and scenic sites. Traverse a piece of the Appalachian Trail and get a glimpse of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Featuring over 600 RV and tent sites, Shenandoah National Park also offers permit-only backcountry camping. It should be noted that there are no electrical hookups in the park, though campers can find seasonal dump stations and potable water.
Prince William Forest National Park
Pull into Prince William Forest National Park for a perfect blend of history and nature. Preservation and conservation remain top priorities for the park, which was nominated for the National Register of Historical Places. With 15,000 acres to explore, the park features miles of hiking along tree-covered trails with off-road biking options and orienteering classes too. Find two on-site campgrounds and clusters of historic cabins in the park. Campsites include fire pits, potable water, and picnic tables surrounded by lush forest.
When to go
Experience the beauty of changing seasons in Washington DC. The area's subtropical climate creates hot and humid summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures reach an average of 85°F, while winter weather brings lows in the mid 20s. DC area summers are perfect for hiking, biking, and late-night stargazing, though the humidity means mosquitoes and other bugs are prevalent—bug spray, mosquito nets, and after-bite relief products may be necessary.
