Vacation rentals with a kayak in Western Maryland

If you’re looking to replenish your soul, enjoy Mother Nature and for a kid friendly place, this cabin is for you! My large family stayed two nights and were so impressed by its views, size and generous amount of canoes/tubing/games/cookware/towels. Neat as a pin too. My fav place in the house? The peaceful covered front porch with scenic views. Loved the fire pit as well. The host, Hap, provided ample wood to burn. We would come here again in a heartbeat!

Kristin’s house was perfect for our overnight stay while riding the C&O trail. Lovely furnishings, lots of space and had everything we needed! We enjoyed it very much!

Amazing place and great host! Morgan was extremely helpful and responsive. She was flexible when we needed something and checked in throughout the stay. The house was beautiful and comfortable. Highly recommend.

This place was perfect ! Everything you could possibly need was available to us . The hot tub and the fire pits were amazing. The view was incredible. There was so much to do very close to the house! Potato chip tasting , wineries , cave tour, and a really cool parade float museum! We also truly enjoyed the space , lots of room to relax and read a book, play ball outside , fish in the river… great place , highly recommend!

Shiloh Lodge, which my friends and I have renamed, Chateau Shiloh, was everything we could have hope for and more. Sadly, it rained 3 of our 5 days but it didn’t matter. This home was so comfortable and welcoming and relaxing; we didn’t care we were rained in. There were puzzles and games and books and great streaming services to keep us occupied. However, we barely used those amenities. We spent those days cooking and talking and sitting in the rocking chairs looking out the sliding glass doors and watched and listened to the rain, watched the wild life and of course, looked out at the beautiful mountains and the river. If you need a place of peace of mind, body, and spirit renewal, Shiloh Lodge is the place. We thank you so much, Diana , for such a wonderful experience. Take care.

Our stay at this beautiful home was exceptional! With 8 guests, including children, parents, and grandparents, the spacious layout comfortably accommodated everyone. The home was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a welcoming environment for our group. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal preparations a breeze. The layout was perfect, with the pub being our favorite room for family game nights and hanging out. We weren’t able to kayak due to the high river, but still had plenty of activities to enjoy. The kids were never bored with all the toy and game options provided indoors and out. We enjoyed the hiking at 7-Bends state park and of course, the beautiful Shenandoah NP. The neighborhood was peaceful and walkable, offering a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for late night fire-fly walks and the beautiful sunset strolls across the suspension bridge, which was a favorite for everyone. Joi was an outstanding host—accommodating and attentive to our needs.

I really enjoyed staying g at Karen's place! The house was well stocked, the views were beautiful and I really enjoyed kayaking on the Shenandoah River. Karen's instructions were clear and helpful. I had an issue with the Airbnb app and wasn't able to send messages for some time, but despite that, she sent over all the check-in instructions on time. I would love to stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay! If we are ever in the area again we would highly consider staying again. This house is in a remote area and the cell service isn’t great, so we recommend downloading a map of the area on Google maps so that it doesn’t go blank on you because of the service in the area. We enjoyed how private the house was and that there was plenty to do at the house. Our kids enjoyed the swing set.

The cottage was exactly what we wanted for our family mountain getaway. We loved the Mountain View, hot tub and surrounding scenery. WiFi worked perfectly well. It had basically everything we needed. Unfortunately we couldn’t enjoy the river because it flooded prior to the stay but that would have been icing on the cake. Would highly recommend this rental for a scenic outdoor WV getaway!

Great stay, communication was constant and reassuring. Great location and amenities. Will definitely stay again

Beautifully private, overlooking the river. Listening to the many different treefrogs at night and seeing the thousands of lightning bugs was the height of relaxing evenings. The house had everything you need, plus. Super comfortable beds. Rachelle was readily available and quickly answered our questions. Was an absolute pleasure to stay for the week and would definitely return for another relaxing stay!

A lovely house in a beautiful spot on the shenandoah river. The hot tub overlooking the river is especially great.

Beautiful location, very peaceful, and very responsive owners! I highly recommend this location! Very easy access to Gettysburg and surrounding attractions. This unit exceeded expectations.

A beautiful and serene location. The cottage was just as described and completely met our needs. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We loved our weekend in Mercersburg! Chip and Angela were terrific to work with. The cottage is adorable and the scenery is gorgeous! We loved the outdoor fireplace and feeding the horses. It was a wonderful weekend.

Just like the pictures, this lakeside cottage is lovely. Great setting and views. Very nicely decorated and very well equipped. Susan was an outstanding host.

We had a fabulous week at the mad men house. There were plenty of places to get some personal quiet time and the sleeping arrangements were perfect for our group. Stay here again if we return to deep Creek Lake.

Our week in Wardensville was amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our first wedding anniversary; the views are gorgeous, we loved the cool mountain mornings and evenings, we felt very welcome and safe in the area, we got the chance to unwind and relax in the cabin with a slower pace of life, and Forrest was such a wonderful host- he was communicative and prompt and gave the perfect suggestions to compliment our stay. And when we hit a snag, he made it right, which is the highest mark for a host I think. We can’t wait to spend our 2nd anniversary at the Cabin next summer!!!

We had a great stay. The house accommodated our 6 adults and 5 grandkids very nicely. There were board games but you should bring your own games for small kids also life jackets for them. Ping pong table and dart board inside the house was nice. We played on the golf course. Very challenging. We utilized the indoor pool at the clubhouse. The canoe was available for usage on the lake for paddling and fishing. The beach was sandy and nice. It was roped off and no fishing around it. Hiking trails were grassy and maintained. The clubhouse had a very nice workout room. There was a nice bar and restaurant at the clubhouse. The bartender was very nice. There was free miniature golf available for those who stayed there. There was a shop n save grocery store 10 min. away. A Walmart superstore was 20 min away. We would come back again.

Great cozy and comfy cabin along the river! Beautiful scenery, very clean, comfy beds, great hot tub!! Owners were very responsive. We absolutely loved our weekend getaway here and plan to come back again! Thank you!!

I believe this is one of the best places to stay in the area! We ended up extending our stay by another week. The neighborhood is safe and peaceful, and the neighbors are welcoming. The cabin itself is very very clean, beds, towels, and every corner felt spotless. The surrounding nature is beautiful and calming, and spotting deer nearby added such a cheerful touch for us as nature lovers! Have to say the cabin is more lovely than photos! We work remotely, so we were initially concerned about the internet, but it was completely reliable throughout our stay. The cabin feels like a private, cozy retreat, super comfortable and beautifully designed. There was even a storm during our stay, and while there was a short power outage, the roads were cleared quickly and power was restored in no time! Mark’s a fantastic host, very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. His clear instructions made everything easy. We’d absolutely come back if we’re back in the area!

We stayed for a weekend at cabin and had a wonderful time. Very quiet and private setting at end of road and on top of a mountain. Felt right at home with amenities and everything you need not to cook and relax. One of our best home renting experiences.

Lovely and new, farmhouse style cabin was a sweet place for a two day getaway. Very clean with very comfortable beds and we enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night. The property is well stocked with lots of wood that is in a protected space and kept dry. While the river was running too high for us to be able to use the kayaks and go for a paddle, we would definitely come back again and take advantage of that amenity. The back porch has a roof with a ceiling fan, so we were still able to sit out there even when it was raining. Also enjoyed being able to sit down right along the river’s edge and enjoy the scenery.

This stay was my first experience using AirBnB. Amy is a wonderful and most helpful host. The property is amazing. There are a lot of trails around the mountain to explore and the pond is beautiful. Every morning and evening, I would see at least 15 to 20 deer while walking the dog and the only sounds around, were the birds. Thank you Amy, I will definitely be back the next time I visit West Virginia.
