There is one big fire ring for cooking and/or bonfires, along with a large stationary stand up charcoal camp grill.

If I am home, please feel free to come up if you have any concerns/questions or to say hi! :) *Please note, you can normally get to this site without a 4 wheel drive vehicle. However, when the river is high it will sometimes flood the low water bridge where it crosses the Cacapon. If this is the case during your stay, I will provide all necessary information regarding projected river levels and directions. I will also offer a full refund if the bridge is impassable. If I do not respond soon after your inquiry, it's because I am without reception. if your inquiry expires in 24 hours, I will still get back to you! Thanks in advance for your patience.

The cabin was amazing and had everything and more! There were games, kitchen supplies, grill with a stove, and they provide firewood. Since we went in October we had a heated blanket and there was a space heater in there as well. Berkeley Springs is close by and they have nice restaurants and a farmers market on Sundays. Definitely will be going back!

Kara’s property is a lovely getaway in the woods. It has all the amenities you may need, and a little extra-like the very nice hot shower. If you are down at the campsite on the river, you have river views all the time, if you are up at the top, you can simply walk down and get a great view. Would stay again! The glamping option was very nice for when it started to pour down rain. We hung out, played games and still had a great time! Kara‘s instructions were clear and very helpful.

I had such a wonderful stay at Pablo & Lorena’s ‘Invisible Love House’. The property was perfectly secluded, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and wildlife. The outdoor shower, sink, & bathroom made the experience even that much more convenient & comfortable. There were so many other thoughtful touches inside the cabin (games, books, cookware, you name it). With the nights’ getting a little chillier, they had a heated blanket already ready. Despite the secluded feel, the location was incredibly convenient, just a short drive to both Berkeley Springs and Cacapon State Park. Pablo & Lorena were so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!
