Plum Lazy on the Potomac

Enjoy 150 feet of shoreline with a large, landscaped expanse of grass perfect for play, picnics, or just shady naps. This riverfront area is exclusively for you and guests at our cabin on Knott Road.

Besides the brand new, spacious kitchen, you'll find two bedrooms, two full baths, and a large living/dining area with wood-burning fireplace.It's just a 5-mile drive to quaint and charming Shepherdstown, and 10 miles to fascinating Harpers Ferry. History lovers will appreciate the close proximity to Antietam Battlefield, Harpers Ferry National Park, and many other Civil War sights. Fantastic hiking, river rafting, and biking along the C&O Canal await the adventurer.

A perfect view for a wedding
We took our first look photos here and it was fantastic. Easy access to the canal. Be prepared as cellular signal was weak. we enjoyed our early morning kayaking trip. We will definitely return.

Relaxing stay again place
Enjoyed the river view from the porch. Quiet and relaxing area close to Historic attractions. Had a fire in the chiminea by the deck and went fishing several times. The host, Cathy, was quick to respond to our questions. Definitely a place to be lazy and watch the deer and birds around the property.

Very convenient to Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, and Charles Town. Also nice to just sit on the porch or near the river. Hubby caught a couple of nice catfish. Overall a nice place to stay.

No privacy
The property was nice, it does have ant issues but the owner was very responsive to my concerns. My only complaint/concern was that the property owner or family members literally camped in the backyard the entire time we were there. They even went to the extent of having a family reunion/party. It made the stay incredibly awkward. The family dogs kept coming down for visits and followed us into the house. If the owners wanted to use their property for the holidays, I honestly wish they would have just canceled our reservation.
