About this property

Bavarian Style Country Home on 120 Acres of Fields and Forests

  • Welcome to Elk Branch Lodge, a sprawling two story country home that easily accommodates family reunions, group gatherings, or romantic getaways for two. The Lodge is not just someone's second home in a busy commercial development. It is a special private place in the country, nestled in the mountains surrounded by thousands of acres of forest. It is also a working farm with pastures and wooded trails. There is plenty of room inside for everyone to come together or to spread out into smaller groups. The natural setting will draw you outdoors where the wildlife, mountains and sunsets will work their magic.

    The lodge is an easy drive from four National Parks and the historic villages of Berkeley Springs, Shepherdstown, Charles Town and Martinsburg. Unique diners and restaurants, artisan shops , antiques, farmer's markets and even a casino round out the local attractions. We will help you discover whatever peaks your interest.

    Bring your mountain bike, canoe, fishing rod, hiking gear, and binoculars, and enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer. We have a well marked trail system ideal for that morning walk or exploring nature. Adjacent public land offers miles of hiking trails and a 205 acre fishing and canoeing lake. Local streams and rivers provide some excellent fishing and canoeing opportunities and whitewater rafting and tubing is available in the nearby Shenandoah River.

    We are a short country drive from Interstate 81 and less than two hours from the Baltimore/DC area.

Group of 7 guys. Had an amazing time. Very private, clean, and Larry was super chill. Would absolutely come back for another stay. As noted by other guests, the staircase is narrow and steep. Also worth mentioning is that there is no dishwasher, if that matters to you.

This was such a great experience for our family this past weekend! There were 6 adults and 7 children, plenty of room for everyone. The atmosphere is very relaxed, the wood stoves were great, and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, including very comfy flannel sheets on the beds. Larry, our host, was very quick to respond to my questions prior to our stay. All 13 of us give this property a 10/10, and we would stay here again for sure!

Great getaway

We have a group of teachers who get away to this cabin every year in the early spring. It's always a great location. Close enough to go out hiking or to Berkeley springs for people that want to do that, but plenty of space to hang out if you just want to rest and relax around the property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We couldn't have asked for a better location and Larry was phenomenal at responding to any questions we had. There was a total of nine of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We traveled from DC for a quick weekend away. It was a group of kids (ages 2-7) and adults. There was plenty of space in the house to spread out and lots to explore. We loved the big fireplace in the living room. The listing could benefit from more information about what's provided but Larry was responsive and helpful with any questions I had. It was a great weekend getaway. Would definitely visit again.

Secluded peaceful stay

Check in process was easy as was check out. Communication with owner was easy. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to meet the host but my sister did. This was a great place to relax between our hectic schedule. While i didn't have much time to enjoy it the rest of family did. The kids loved the trails and the bulls. I think we have all agreed that we would love the stay again when we can just relax and enjoy the area instead of last minute wedding arrangements!

Lovely farewell to 2023

This home was exactly what we were looking for. The location is wonderful, and the rustic charm is etched in our memories. We enjoyed fires in the large fireplace as well as the kitchen stove the entire time we were there. They provided plenty of firewood for us. The hot tub was perfect after our hiking adventures, which are easily accessible in every direction. There was more than enough room for us as we were only 2. The only hiccup was checking in, as we did not hear from Larry after several attempts. We showed up and luckily the door was unlocked. Larry showed up the next morning and apologized and said he had an emergency, and we completely understood. But it was a little unsettling to show up to this place in the middle of the woods at dusk and not knowing if we were going to be able to get inside. Other than that, we surely hope to be back for another visit!

Misinformation

The description of the property did not give the whole picture. It did not say that if mobility was an issue this property is not for you. The stairs to the bedrooms were very difficult to climb. They were narrow with a handrail on one side. Having a bad knee made them almost impossible. All the bedrooms were upstairs. If there had been an emergency getting down would be disastrous. I don't know if this property would pass fire codes. Larry the property check in person was very nice and helpful. The property seemed well maintained but way too rustic for my taste.
