Romantic, hot tub, king bed, private, pet-friendly

Perfect cabin for a romantic getaway: private, spacious, with new 6-person hot tub. spacious, isurrounded by trees, Aerie is on an unusually large lot in Coolfont Mountainside (two acres) and has windows all around and 3 decks so you can enjoy the peace and calm of the trees. 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. The 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.) You can also walk (about 20 minutes) or drive (3 minutes) to Berkeley Springs Brewing Company and Coolfont Resort.

The great room, which is 30 feet long, features a fantastic 1970s fireplace (only available for use from October 1 - May 15). This room has a comfortable seating area as well as floor cushions to bring around the fireplace. There is a large deck with outdoor seating. The deck spans the front of the house and faces down the hill across the treetops and to the distant sky. Relax on the deck and enjoy the peaceful views, and at night, you can look up at the stars in peace.

The great room has a dining area that seats 10 people. It is right next to the efficient galley kitchen, which contains everything you need to make a great meal.

For this smaller version of the house, your bedroom will be the larger king bedroom, off of the entry hall, which has an ensuite bathroom and its own small patio with two rocking chairs. 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 :) You will enjoy all the main areas of the house--great room, kitchen, loft, all three decks, and laundry room -- I simply close off access to the three hall bedrooms and hall bathroom.

Other house amenities include: 100% cotton sheets on all beds; organic whole been coffee (fair trade, regular and decaf), burr coffee grinder, selection of organic teas; Public Goods brand toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, lotion); pool towels; gas grill; propane fire 'column'; games; books; smart TV (as well as DVD player/DVDs).

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 labeled 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 during your stay.
Thank you!
