Beautiful location, beautiful home!

My family and I enjoyed staying at your home. It was exactly as described and shown in the photographs. Simply beautiful! The kitchen had every pan, container, and gadget we needed. The weather was perfect, and we enjoyed watching the sunrise from the porches. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wedding Weekend

We rented the house this weekend since it was near our daughter’s wedding venue and it was everything Janet and Tony said it would be!! Highly recommend! It was beautifully decorated and in a quiet and peaceful location. Kitchens and bathrooms were stocked and the boys enjoyed using the pool table. We ended our stay with coffee on the front porch for a few hours. We even left something that they made arrangements for us to get back. Would definitely stay again!!

Beautiful Property!

This house is very relaxing–a spacious, quiet area to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. I stayed here with a group of old college friends to ring in the new year, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The owners are very responsive, and gave a great booklet to help us navigate hikes on the property. The fire pit was also a very nice touch. A great stay overall!

We couldn’t recommend the hosts any more. They were easy to communicate with and had the place fully stocked with everything we could need! We all highly recommend and hope to be back.

Stream walking

Our 3-pod family had a great quick getaway and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - from the quaint farm decor to modern amenities like a pool table, flat screen TV and updated bathrooms. The fire pit was a bonus and the landscape gorgeous. We used their map and found our way to the stream and we got to do a stream walk. We hope to return again soon!

Two wonderful weeks

My husband and I and our two adult children and their partners spent 2 wonderful weeks in August at the Gordon Homestead. The house was extremely comfortable and more than well-supplied with everything we needed. Super comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms. The central AC was a lifesaver during the heatwave. We made forays to the many, interesting historical sites nearby, went swimming in the lake at Cowans Gap, read Agatha Christie aloud at the fire pit under the stars. We can't wait to return!

Everyone loved the house and the area

Coming from DC and not planning to ski we were worried the kids would not have any fun activities. We were wrong. We went to Berkeley Springs just 20-30 min away and had lots of fun even during a pandemic. Playing pool at the house, making a fire and playing outside we’re just additional benefits 😃

Beautiful Night Sky

The home was truly lovely. The night sky was beautiful, and the home itself was nice. The location is secluded so we didn’t have to worry about the music being too loud. The only downside was the location of the last two rooms as they’re connected through another room. However thankfully we were all able to have fun and enjoy the game room! Everything was truly wonderful and beautiful.

Heavenly Farmhouse

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Gordon Homestead. It was perfect for our group of friends to hang out, cook, play pool, and mostly enjoy the amazing property and all the fabulous nature it provides. We enjoyed exploring the fields down to the stream, and several people came to utilize Whitetail resort for skiing and snowboarding. It was a little misleading on the online listing that the resort was 8 miles away when it actually takes 40 minutes to get there. However, we loved the house so much it was amazing to come back to after a day on the slopes. Definitely 5 stars!!
