Aerie Cabin - Berkeley Springs

Relax with friends and family at Aerie, a spacious, modern (est. 1973) cabin set in the magical woods of Coolftont Mountainside. Soak in the new 6-person hot tub on the private deck facing Cacapon Mountain. A perfect getaway for 1 or 2 families or a girls' weekend, Aerie has 4 bedrooms (King, King, Queen, 2 Twins) plus a loft (Twin). Pet-friendly. EV charger.

Aerie is on an unusually large lot (2 acres) at the end of a road, and it backs to state park land. Only 12 minutes' drive to the Berkeley Spring State Park and baths and downtown, you can enjoy being in the woods and being close to town and shops. You can walk (about 20 minutes) or drive (3 minutes) to Berkeley Springs Brewing Company and Coolfont Resort.

Features of Aerie:
* The great room, which is 30 feet long, features a fantastic 1970s fireplace.
* New private 6-person hot tub on rear deck in private setting facing Cacapon Mountain
* 3 decks: front deck spans the length of the great room and faces down the hill across the treetops and to the distant sky. Relax outside and enjoy the peaceful views.
* Dining table that seats 10.
* Efficient galley kitchen, which contains everything you need to make a great meal.
* The larger king bedroom, off of the entry hall, has an ensuite bathroom and its own small patio with two rocking chairs.
* The three additional bedrooms face up the mountainside have high ceilings and ample open closets. One room has a king bed, one has a queen bed, and the other room has two twin beds.
* There is one additional twin bed up on the loft above the great room. Note: the loft is not for everyone! The stairs are narrow and a bit steep, the ceiling is a bit low, and there are gaps at either end that make this area less than ideal for tall people and also little kids :)

Special amenities include: 100% cotton sheets on all beds; organic whole bean coffee (fair trade, regular and decaf), burr coffee grinder, selection of organic teas; Keurig mini (bring your own pods); filtered water tap; Public Goods brand toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion); 6-person hot tub; pool towels; Level 2 EV charger; gas grill; propane fire 'column'; games; books; smart TV (as well as DVD player/DVDs).

Planning for the summer? Coolfont Mountainside community has an outdoor pool and hot tub (open in the summer only, from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day), as well as a tot lot, playing field, and hiking trails that lead to public land and Cacapon State Park. (Note the community also has tennis courts and a basketball court, and though they are open for use, they are in need of some repair.) There are so many recreational activities nearby including hiking, biking (mountain and trail), canoeing/floating, hunting, and, of course, soaking in the mineral waters of the Roman Baths in town, and visiting the fun shops and the Morgan County Arts Center.

Coolfont Mountainside is a really nice community in the woods. Roads curve up the mountainside revealing a diversity of cabin architecture. You can drive, walk, or bike down to the community outdoor pool and hot tub (in the summer) or you can take the marked hiking trails throughout as well. The trails lead up to the top of Cacapon Mountain where there is a fire road that leads to Prospect Rock (a favorite spot of George Washington) and south to Cacapon Resort State Park.

ROADS: The main roads of Coolfont Mountainside are paved, but the smaller roads (like the one Aerie is on) are gravel. The driveway up to Aerie is also gravel, but it is not too steep. In snowy weather, the roads are plowed, but please check ahead for road conditions. (NOTE we do not cancel due to inclement weather--please buy travel insurance if you want to protect your purchase for these types of circumstances.)

INTERNET: There is a mobile hotspot in the house -- this is the only option! I've worked from home here, and also streamed movies on the TV, but I cannot promise that the internet will work continuously or at high speed during your stay.
