Vacation home rentals in Potomac River

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Wren House in Afton, Virginia, and it was an unforgettable experience. Nestled amidst nature, this retreat offered privacy and breathtaking mountain views. The hot tub was a delightful addition, perfect for unwinding after a day of tubing at Wintergreen Resort. The spacious layout made it ideal for our family gathering, providing both comfort and tranquility. I highly recommend Wren House for anyone seeking a serene getaway in a picturesque setting.

We had a wonderful stay in this charming pre-Civil War home! It was warm and cozy, the perfect retreat for an icy, snowy weekend. The location is great—the city center with its restaurants and shops are couple minutes away by foot, and there's a supermarket just across the street. There was some traffic noise during the day, but it got reasonably quiet at night, so it was no issue. The house itself is full of character—nothing is quite square, plumb, or level, but that only adds to its charm! If you appreciate historic homes with a unique feel, this is a great place to stay. Would definitely recommend! The host was incredibly accommodating, offering an early check-in without us even asking. They also proactively offered a late checkout or even an extra night due to the heavy snowfall, though in the end the roads were clear and we could leave as planned.

I’m going to recommend this place to everyone. What a history this place has!! Beautiful inside & out. Spacious grounds for a nice walk. Close to Thurmont & Cunningham state park.

The apartment is well laid out. We had everything we needed. Once we figured out how to get in (trouble with the padlock at first), we had no other problems. The house is down a biggesh hill making walking up to town a thing. We don't recommend this apt. for anyone with mobility issues, unless you have a car. We will be staying here again, if possible.

We travel to DC often and this is the place I try to reserve every time! Clean, well stocked, great location, and the best host! Can’t wait to come back!

A true gem of a location. We loved our stay and would definitely come back. Its the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature's beauty.

Pros: Location! Minutes to the slopes. This was the best location we have had in all the years we have been coming. The views are amazing. Bedrooms were roomy and there was ample seating in the kitchen and living room. We were 10 people and the house didn’t feel cramped at all. The host was very responsive when we reported damage upon arrival and a leak under the kitchen sink. I would book again! Cons: Basement was cold. The host had space heaters to warm up the space which we ran the entire time we were there. Bunk beds were not made when we arrived and the towels were not placed in the bathrooms. There were no hand towels. Linens are aged and pillows need replacing. Very basic bedding, no extra blankets to keep people warm. The kitchen needs a deep clean. Many drawers are dirty, utensils sticky. There is no order to the cabinets. The house sleeps 14, but there are only 8 coffee cups and not enough utensils for everyone to eat at the same time.

The house is beautiful with huge windows looking out onto the trees and the water. My 14year old grandson loved the privacy and comforts if the upstairs. We loved the warmth and cozy feeling of the gas fireplace. The location is perfect. We were close to the parks, activities, restaurants and a great grocery store. We hiked all week and loved every minute. The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We definitely plan on returning next year.

Everything is exactly as described!! When you walk it you automatically feel this was a great place to be! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, just beautiful! The handbook had instructions for everything you could possibly have a question about as well as the labels around the home to help as well! The sauna with the blue tooth was so soothing and easy to use ! Plenty of linens and extra blankets if needed . Beds and couches were comfortable! The bathrooms were spotless and welcoming as well! There was a personalized note and goodies on the front table that makes you smile when you arrive! We enjoyed our stay and planning to be right back once the pool is open!

The house is outfitted beautifully. Each of the four bedrooms are very nice and nicely appointed. The decks off each BR are a great feature. We used the kayaks on the river for a wonderful day for the group.

We had a fantastic stay at The Gables at Lake Anna! Don and Bitsy are wonderful hosts who provided us with detailed information and were very accommodating throughout our visit. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay—a true home away from home. The location was perfect for our family Thanksgiving gathering, offering a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Don and Bitsy are exceptional hosts; they were responsive and friendly, going above and beyond to accommodate our requests. I highly recommend this property and would love to stay here again in the future. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! Zerihun

The place is very nice, everything clean and Ben was attentive and respectful with us, he always helped me at all times. I recommend it too much.

Our family gathering was just wonderful due in large part to the home exceeding our expectations. First, host Laura could not have been any more helpful and responsive. Add to that was a beautifully laid out home for a small gathering that was well stocked and filled with of amenities. I would encourage anyone who is looking for a beautiful place within close proximity to Annapolis and Baltimore to seriously consider this home. Thanks again!

Very responsive host and beautiful home. Just what me and my crew needed for our little weekend away!

My stay with my family was wonderful. The place was exceptional and amazing—I highly recommend it and will definitely return to stay there again.

Justin’s place is a great place for a large group to stay in massanutten. Many of the homes in this community have steep driveways, but this home has a large, flat driveways that perfectly accommodated our groups needs. The house was as pictured and described in the listing— homey and welcoming with lots of practical items— fully stocked kitchen dishes and pots and pans, sole children’s toys, plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, as well as comfortable bed rooms. We’d highly recommend this home for your trip!

My husband and I stayed two nights and truly felt at home in this delightful, cozy cabin. It was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. We appreciated the complimentary coffee and snacks, as well as the recommendation for dinner at The Naked Olive. We love coming to Berkeley Springs each year and it was so nice to be able to walk 10 minutes down the hill to go into town. The gracious hosts checked in with us to make sure we were happy. The bed was very comfortable and the towels smelled divine. I also enjoyed having coffee on the porch. The views were lovely. We'll definitely be back!

Lamiae was a very communicating and lovely host. Had smores supplies and drinks ready for us upon arriving. House was clean and comfortable. The mattresses are very firm and we all loved that and slept amazingly. The only things for guests to be mindful of; if more than two cars are coming, the driveway can be a beast to navigate depending on your car. as well as the downstairs and the upstairs can have significant temperature differences. Overall we had a great time!

Absolutely stunning picture that’s even more beautiful and serene in person. There’s low light pollution so you can see the stars easily. A couple fire pits and a ton of firewood to make the stay stay wonderful. It’s very romantic, so highly recommend for a couple.

We spent a great weekend catching up at this tranquil, spotless location near Harper's Ferry. It was a truly perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Thanks for having us!
