About this property

Hilltop 10 acre Cabin Retreat Getaway - WiFi!

Very cozy, rustic, Native American themed cabin. 3 rooms - all queen beds. Master has full bath, with a full bath in between the other 2 rooms. Shampoo, linens, body wash provided. All essential amenities at your fingertips. NEWLY PAVED DRIVEWAY.

Stocked utensils in kitchen and open living room with large glass door overlooking landscape. No cable BUT over 500 DVDs to choose from, just like Netflix, Prime and Disney all in one! Kick up your feet and relax in the lounger, couch, or rocking chair, play some board/ card games and enjoy the company! Outdoor games also available!

The front porch has a swing and rocking chairs, a lovely place to watch the hummingbirds flutter. Huge back deck with two sets of patio furniture, a great place to have a beverage, take in the sunset, search for deer and other wildlife.

Also we just got WiFi! But you can still pretend like its 1995 and talk to each other!! Slow down, and reconnect.

Note: The driveway is rather steep with a sharp turn at the top. 4-wheel drive is recommended in winter.

Some close local favorites:
- Fox's pizza has the best wings! We like them extra crispy!
- Wayne's Super Market has everything you'll need for food.(Try the buffalo chicken sandwich meat, yum)!
- Wilma's Diner has southern cooking
- Evan's Dairy Dip - Ice Cream Shop - seasonal
- Forstburg MD- Sands Springs Saloon & Steakhouse (Amazing food! - 36 min away)
- Taste of the Town
- Subway

There is a large field on the main road where you can play baseball or soccer. Festivals are held at the fairgrounds during certain months. Also, 20 minutes from the cabin, heading toward Romney there is a large river on the right (South Branch Potomac River) where you can go tubing, fishing or picnic.

Nice Place to Stay

The cabin was very nice. Once we figured the area out. Grocery store wasn’t that far away. Very quiet and seen some wild life (deer). In the morning it was great to sit on swing with my coffee and watch the deer graze.

Weekend Getaway

Fun weekend spent at this great log cabin in WV. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, with tons of DVDs to watch if needed. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and were also there to take the Western MD Scenic Train Ride with our family, which was a lot of fun. Fort Ashby is a quiet little town and we enjoyed staying there.

Train trip

Very poor lighting, pellet stove but no matches to light it, no internet, tv work but could never get the sound to work. We had to leave early because of the hurricane that did a lot of damage to our home. We did contact the host but never got a response.

Sister Trip

We have stayed at the cabin four times now. Never have any problems or if we need anything or have a question. Homeowner always answers right away. It wasn't as clean upon arrival just this time but were refunded for that and I'm sure it won't happen again. Cant wait to go back

Nice Cabin

We really liked the cabin, but to be honest; even though I loved the fact that the cabin is deep in the woods; and you can enjoy the stars and the tranquility; but unfortunately I must say that you have to drive a lot to find lakes or things to do; there is no wifi, no cable; not many board games; I really think the cabin and location are more for people who enjoy hunting! not for families with children and teenagers.

Are y well u looking for down time and enjoy nature, this is the place

This was our experience, it was so peaceful we could hear the grass hoppers flitting, bird wings flapping. Scenery awesome. Watched the moon go down behind the mountains like the sun from the bedroom amazing. Did not know history of Ft Ashby but found it very interesting. Town of Romney the same. Definitely want to go back again. Couldn't believe we found such a unique place to stay!!

Cozy Mountain Cabin

This is a true hunting cabin. No wifi. In the middle of the woods. Washed out unpaved roads lead to the cabin so ensure your vehicle is capable of handling this pending the weather. Bees nest under the front porch made entry difficult. If you’re looking for an outdoorsy experience this is it.

Overall a nice place to relax view is gorgeous. The roads to get there and the driveway are pretty horrible. They also don't have wifi and the cell signal is not great. We were also accused of damages we did not do and were charged an extra $250.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Garlock

Host profile image
Mother of two, boy age 13, girl age 3. Married on September 28, 2019. Live in Fredericksburg VA, with a full time telework position as a contractor with the Coast Guard. Love the outdoors and have spent many years visiting the cabin.

Why they chose this property

My father built this cabin in 2004. It was his primary residence until he passed away in Maryland at my sister's home. I took over the deed and have been paying two mortgages for 2 years. We finally decided, after a lot of thought and care to list the property to help offset cost and share our love of it with others. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Hunting permitted on our 10 acres - 10 more acres available at my uncles across the hill if interested. Just let me know before hand to coordinate.

No need for exercise equipment, just walk (or run) up and down the driveway a few times, it's killer!
