We are just 5 min from River Hill Distillery, 7 min drive to Luray Caverns. 20 min drive to Shenandoah National Park…lots of hiking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, and civil war museums in the area.
I purchased this property in 2013 ---my Uncle Abe Kibler and Aunt Lizzie Good Kibler owned and operated a tavern across the road for years and rented river lots to their guests---in time this 265 acre spread was sold and divided to many. I am grateful to have a little piece of the Rock Tavern History back in the family. I have so many fond memories of floating the river with my family while growing up and I love sharing this experience with others while offering families the opportunity to create lasting memories!

Brand new custom high end "glamping" cabin nestled along the Cacapon River. Cacapon River is one of the cleanest rivers in West Virginia. The name Cacapon was given by the native americans for the healing aspects of the water. The cabin is located on the famous Riverdale Farm property that was home of Captain David Pugh. Captain Pugh was the last person to sign succession papers to make West Virginia a state. As we say, " West Virginia started here". The property was home of one of the first schools in West Virginia, the local post office and the Hook's Mill. People have traveled to this farm to enjoy camping and outdoor leisure since the 1830s. Come continue the tradition here.

Welcome to Big Dipper Ranch
Come escape to Big Dipper Ranch, where comfortable glamping, mountain views, and incredible stargazing come together in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains.
I first visited this property 19 years ago. One look at the magnificent Sugar Maple in full autumn color, and I knew I had found someplace special. Today, I’m fortunate to call these 23 acres home—and I love sharing this little piece of Virginia with our guests.
Settle into one of our four comfortable, beautifully furnished glamping tents and enjoy a slower pace for a few days. I enjoy personally welcoming guests when they arrive, then giving you the privacy and space to make the property your own—whether that means relaxing by the pond, watching the stars, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or simply doing absolutely nothing.
And when you're ready for adventure, you're in the perfect place.
Old Rag Mountain and Whiteoak Canyon are only about 15 minutes away, putting some of Shenandoah National Park’s most beautiful hiking practically in our backyard. You'll also find wineries, breweries, orchards, canoeing, fishing, and miles of beautiful Virginia countryside nearby.
Or you may decide you don't want to leave the ranch at all.
Spend a warm afternoon swimming in our cool, spring-fed pond, try your hand at fishing, wander the property, or simply sit back and enjoy the mountain views. When evening arrives, build a fire, settle into your chair, and look up—the dark skies here can put on quite a show.
Big Dipper Ranch is close enough to Etlan and the surrounding area for necessities and local adventures, but far enough away to feel like you've truly escaped.
Come hike, explore, swim, stargaze—or simply slow down for a while.
If you have any questions before your visit, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to welcoming you to Big Dipper Ranch.

I stayed in the tiny house with my daughter and we had a wonderful time. The animals are amazing, so friendly and social, my daughter and I did the morning feeding add on and got to feed baby cows, hold chickens and baby goats! The hosts are so helpful, not only with the animals but any request I had they were so accommodating. 10/10 recommend this place!

Weekend Trip to Sistermoon Farm
We originally booked our stay for a long weekend but were rained out the second day of our trip. We were well protected the first night, but the interior of the tent did get quite damp as the intensity of the rain increased. We decided not to extend our stay. Maria’s accommodations were thoughtful and well curated. She provided over and above what I normally expect from similar camp set ups. Location is perfect from both harpers ferry and Shepardstown, we were able to explore both despite the poor weather.

Beautiful yurt sites and really enjoyed the peaceful river walk! We had a couple of cool nights and it was nice that the bathroom was heated. 🩵 Just a warning that the bathroom is a decent walk from the sites. But worth it for the sounds of the river at night.

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the camp site, the yurts and how nicely they were presented to us, I felt like it was like a hotel room! The bedding was very warm and the pillows extremely comfortable and I feel like I am picky with pillows! I was impressed with how the owner really thought about every detail in creating this place for us. He was also very personnable and very accomodating to us. He spent a lot of time helping us start a fire, he shared what activities were available for us on the day that it rained. We will surely return!

Loved my stay! Much needed nature and peace. The cabin has more amenities than I had anticipated which was nice but there were also a few surprises I really enjoyed that made the place super unique. It's really secluded, woods as far as you can see and super quiet. Lots of wildlife and plenty of hiking/outdoors activities available. Also the outhouse was clean and didn't stink which was a bonus.
