About this property

Elevated Potomac River Retreat - King Suite - River Front - Large Screened Porch

Escape to your private river retreat on the Potomac!

Welcome to the ultimate riverside getaway. Our stunning river house, tucked among the trees, offers breathtaking views of the Potomac River and the iconic C&O Canal National Historic Park—affectionately known as the towpath. This scenic 184.5-mile trail stretches from Cumberland, Maryland, to Washington, D.C., perfect for walking and biking, you'll find the towpath right at your doorstep.

Enjoy the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort in our king suite home. Whether you’re relaxing in the luxurious king-size bed, unwinding by the electric fireplace, or enjoying the convenience of a fully equipped brand-new kitchen, this home is designed for relaxation and adventure. With high-speed Starlink internet, a 65-inch TV, and efficient mini-split heating and cooling, you’ll feel right at home in nature without sacrificing any modern amenities.

Whether you're here for outdoor exploration or peaceful river views, our Potomac retreat is the ideal place to unwind and rejuvenate while exploring all that the area has to offer (and there is so much to do!)

Perfect Retreat

This small cottage is so comfortable and well appointed. Directly across from the C&O Canal Towpath; it only takes a few minutes to get on the path. Although there is a lot that you can do in the area, we were in need of respite, so other than taking multiple walks a day, we enjoyed time on the expansive screened-in porch, looking out at the beautiful scenery and listening and watching the birds.We also enjoyed making meals in the kitchen and using the outside grill for bacon to burgers. We slept very well on the very comfortable king size bed. Serena is a great host as she readily replied whenever contacted. We are definitely planning to return. It would be so much fun to tube down the river.
