Other things to note

We are committed to Rent Responsibly standards. This means we follow best-in-class guidelines to ensure you have a peaceful, safe and memorable stay with us. We care a lot about maintaining good relationships with our community, so we appreciate you following these “house rules” during your stay.

LODGING AGREEMENT: The guest booking the property must digitally sign a lodging agreement immediately following the reservation. The most important terms of the agreement are included below, and the guest may cancel a booking penalty free within 24 hours. If the lodging agreement is not completed with 24 hours then the reservation will be cancelled. The agreement will be sent via text message, so please be sure your phone number is correct before booking.

AGE 25 OR OLDER TO BOOK: The guest booking the property must be 25 years of age or older. We reserve the right to request a photo or scan of a government-issued photo ID. The guest who books must stay at the property–you may not book for others if you do not intend to stay at the property.

QUIET HOURS START AT 10 PM: Our property’s quiet hours of 10 pm to 6 am are required by county ordinance and enforced by local police. If the police respond to a noise complaint, every individual on the property may face a misdemeanor criminal charge and be subject to a fine by the county of $300. Failure to abide by the county noise ordinance will result in the immediate termination of the stay without refund.

Past noise complaints have always come from groups of 20-somethings. If you are booking for a group of people in their twenties and you think your group may want to play loud music at any time then do not book this property or cancel your reservation if you have already booked. Find another place for your trip so you do not have your trip terminated early and without refund.

NOISE MONITORING AND SECURITY CAMERA: We use devices that measure volume levels throughout the property (like a smoke detector but for noise) and allow us to respond to noise nuisances before the police are called. The devices are triggered primarily by sustained periods of loud music, not things like loud talking or laughter (which is encouraged!). The devices do not record audio and are 100% privacy compliant. We also have a security camera that records the front door and driveway. This allows us to facilitate remote check in and monitor the property between guests.

ACCIDENT FORGIVENESS: Every stay is backed by our accident forgiveness program. Guests will not be held responsible for damage caused during their stay (up to a maximum of $1,500) if 1) the damage is accidental, and 2) the damage is reported as soon as possible, and by no later than the check out time.

POSSIBLE BACKGROUND CHECK: We reserve the right to use a third-party to verify the guest’s identity and check criminal databases to finalize the reservation. Complete terms regarding the guest verification are provided in the lodging agreement, and can be provided sooner upon request.

NO PETS: No exceptions, sorry. Please don’t ask whether we can allow your perfectly house-trained, hypoallergenic labradoodle to join because we can’t 🙂

LIMITED PARKING: Parking is tight in the driveway near the house–there is not room for more than three cars, and that is a squeeze.

GRAVEL ROAD: This house is off a gravel road. The house is accessible by standard 2WD sedans in good weather, but you would not want to drive here in a low-profile sports car.

STEEP ROADS: Please be aware that the roads up to the top of the mountain can be steep. In the snow it can be very difficult to access the property. At all other times access is not difficult, but driving on steep mountain roads may make some people nervous. If that sounds like you, it might be better to reserve a property that is not along the top of the Blue Ridge.

SNOW-INS: During the winter, four wheel drive, snow tires/chains, and a car with good clearance are HIGHLY recommended in the event of a snow storm or heavy rain, as there is a good chance that a significant snow storm could restrict access in and out of the house. You need to use good judgement as to whether to cancel a trip before it begins or leave the house early.

NO DISHWASHER: Please note that this cabin does not have a dishwasher.

BUGS: This is a house in the woods–that means there are lots of bugs, especially in the summertime. Even if you are careful some of those bugs will find their way into the house. The best way to minimize the number of bugs inside is to keep doors and windows closed at all times. Please also carefully clean up the kitchen every night and securely package up all food.

SMOKING: Smoking is never allowed inside the house. You may smoke outside as long as you clean up after yourself. You may not litter cigarette butts on the deck, in the yard, or anywhere else–butts must go in the trash after they have cooled off.

SHEETS: At the end of your stay you will be asked to strip the sheets off the beds that were used and leave the sheets on top of the beds.

SEPTIC SYSTEM: This house has a septic system. Grease and oil must never be allowed down any of the sink drains. Feminine hygiene products must be thrown away in a trash can and not flushed down a toilet. Never flush solid trash down the toilet or into a sink drain.

NO FIREWORKS: Fireworks are not allowed.

NO ILLEGAL DRUGS: Guests may not possess or consume any illegal drugs on the property, including cannabis.

This property was perfect for our annual fall getaway. We look for a property with fire pit, hot tub and a great kitchen close to hiking and activities. This place was fabulous….very clean, kitchen is spacious and well stocked and the outdoor hot tub and fire pit were perfect after hiking and sightseeing.days. Directions and information was clear and hosts were incredibly responsive. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend this property!!!!

Cabin was private and quiet. If you’re looking to be one with nature and don’t mind a nice drive up into the mountains this property is for you. Very relaxing space. Perfect to sit around and talk stories and just enjoy each other’s company.

I stayed here over 4th of July weekend with my husband. We wanted a little peace and quiet and alone time. This space provided that. Surrounded by trees and fairly remote. There was one neighbor fairly close but they kept to themselves. I’m not sure if that is also a rental or full time but we had zero issues and didn’t feel like they were in our business. It’s close enough to town to not feel like it’s a hassle to get needed supplies but far enough away you feel like you’re away from all the hustle and bustle. Our host was super responsive, friendly, and had recommendations at the ready. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

We loved the cabin and had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway. Having the bedroom on the main level with a handicap 19 year old child was such a relief. It was very quiet and relaxing and we loved how close it was to Antietam battlefield and Washington DC. The only little critique I would give is getting down to the hot tub area could be a little easier and the roads up to the cabin are narrow and steep but we had no issues and would definitely be back again. And the listing said no TV but there was a tv in the living area which was great considering it was baseball opening weekend.

We absolutely loved this cabin! It is beautiful inside and the views are great. The property manager was on point whenever I texted to ask any questions. Check in was a breeze. The cabin is so close to Charles Town yet you feel like you are so far away. The hot tub was wonderful and so was the firepit. We will definitely be back

Great, clean, cozy cabin! Perfect distance from Harpers Ferry and easy access to things to do. Mountain Mama was proactive in their communication and the house was stocked with anything we might need. We had a great time.
Only small drawback we had was some noise problems at night as the floors between the upstairs and downstairs are just slatted boards and don’t have insulation between – meaning you can hear everything in between as if it was in your own room.

The place was nice! Cute cabin, peaceful, has everything you need. The linens and toiletries were a bonus, it was nice not to have to bring all that. We did a lot of hiking in Harpers Ferry and Charlestown. Loved the fireplace and the fire pit. One thing that would have been nice to have was a TV for the kids to watch a movie at night. Other than that we had a wonderful stay.

The decor was even more beautiful than we expected. The kitchen had all.of the tools needed to make everything we had planned and more. The beds were comfy and so were the couches. We loved the indoor fireplace as well as the outdoor firepit. We went for Christmas and they even left a gingerbread house kit and hot chocolatefor us. It was so amazing, I miss it. I would definitely visit again. I highly recommend Mountain Mama’s cabin!

My friends and I booked this place for two nights. It was a charming, clean, and cozy space perfect for a few nights away from the city. The beds were super comfy, the fire pit was easy to use, and the kitchen was spacious and had all the cookware you need. We liked that they also had a large dinning table where we ate each meal together. The living room is spacious and easy to lounge in or play board games. The cabin is near lots of hiking and wineries too, and not too far from town.
The host’s warning about steep and windy roads up to the cabin is very accurate, so be considerate of that if you’re booking during a snowy season. The hosts are very attentive and answered our questions promptly.
Overall, we had such a wonderful time. We would definitely book this cabin again!

This house was perfect for my family to spend some quality time together. The lack of TV was not an issue. We played games, laughed, talked, and enjoyed the scenery. It is close to Harpers Ferry and Charles Town, but not too close, about a 20 minute drive. The house had everything we needed. It will be on our list of places to return to.

We wanted a cabin in the woods close to Harpers Ferry and Antietam. This one worked very well for us. Close but secluded. Cabin and all amenities were very nice (decor/furnishings etc). They had all the comforts of home. We only needed to bring food, drinks and clothes! Wifi worked well-which was good-since there was no tv. It was cooler and rained most of our stay-so we made good use of the fireplace. Got to see deer every day and evening. We did have an issue with the door lock when we first arrived- but we called the property manager and they updated the code. No worries after that. Wanted to stay longer-but home, pets and jobs were calling. Thank you for the nice getaway!

This is definitely a very cozy cabin and we loved our stay! We loved sitting on the deck seeing the deer walk by and making a fire in the fireplace. Mountain Mama was very responsive with any questions we had and the place was very clean! We hope to come back sometime in the future.
