Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mountain and forest views, and every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create an unforgettable serene escape.

Perfect for family reunions, friend group getaways, romantic couples retreats, ski weekends, or milestone celebrations. Just 12 minutes from Liberty Mountain Resort and 1+ hour from Washington DC and Baltimore.

THE EXPERIENCE

Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the expansive deck, watching mist rise from the valley below. Spend your day skiing or snowboarding at Liberty Mountain Resort (12 minute drive), hiking to Maryland's highest waterfall at Cunningham Falls State Park (10 minute drive), or touring local wineries in the beautiful Catoctin wine country (12-20 minutes).

Return to your mountain sanctuary to soak in the private hot tub under the stars, gather around one of two wood-burning stone fireplaces, play games at the dedicated game table, or prepare a gourmet meal in the fully-equipped kitchen. As evening falls, roast s'mores at the fire pit, enjoy dinner on the deck with mountain views, or simply sink into the stillness of the mountains.

This is where time slows down. Where genuine connection happens. Where you remember what true rest feels like.
