About this property

Plum Lazy on the Potomac

  • With stunning views and prime river access, Plum Lazy is nestled on three partially-wooded acres sloping gently to the water's edge. 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.



    A rocky peninsula with firepit extends your riverfront another 100 feet into the Potomac.



    The large deck and stone patio features a variety of seating options, gas grill, and dining area.The vintage mobile home has been completely renovated inside. Besides the brand new, spacious kitchen, you'll find two bedrooms, two full baths, and a large living/dining area with electric 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.



    We do allow guests to bring well-behaved dogs (2 maximum). Dogs must be leashed when outside.



    Within a 10 mile radius you'll find plenty of options for groceries, shopping, and dining.Plum Lazy is in a secluded neck-o-the-woods with limited cell coverage. We have Wi-Fi internet that's good enough for streaming Netflix, etc. on the Roku TV, but it's only moderately fast and there are occasional outages.



    PLEASE NOTE: We kindly request that guests sign our "Potomac Adventure" rental agreement within 72 hrs of booking. We'll send an email with the link to our agreement as soon as you finalize your reservation.



    There is a motion sensing floodlight and security camera overlooking the driveway.

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.

Great Girls Weekend to Rewind!!

Quiet and relaxing. Had hoped to get the kayaks out but one girl was just post surgery on her wrist so we had to bypass them this trip. Our favorite part of the weekend was sitting on the porch and looking at the Potomac. So relaxing. The house was cute and clean, just like the pictures. Shopped in Shepersdstown and ate at the Blur Moon. It was fun!! Could not find parking in Harper’s Ferry. We were bummed about that but it didn’t ruin our weekend. We will be back to kayak and swim.

Very peaceful and what a beautiful view!! It was a little cool while we were there so we didn’t use the kayaks provided, but would love to go back in the summer. Great outdoor space to drink coffee in the mornings and sit by the fire at night.

Quiet, comfortable property with great river views and access. Stayed 8 days with our two Labrador Retrievers that loved the river. We enjoyed the use of kayaks on the property and spent lots of time on the river. Located within easy travel to plenty of sights, restaurants, and other fun. We had great communication with the hosts. Definitely look forward to going back again!!

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.

Great place to unwind!

Was the perfect place to go and relax. Sitting on the front porch, enjoying the river view really made the time here special. It's a great location if visiting Harpers Ferry or Antietam. Looking forward to coming back again but want to spend more time next time.

Beautiful

Beautiful location, really enjoyed the river, the front porch and the grass lawn! The house was clean and well stocked with anything we could need. The only issues we had was that the bunk bed was very wobbly, to the point my son couldn’t sleep in it for fear it would fall on his brother, and the entire place is just covered in ants, so many ants. We had to keep our perishables in the fridge or microwave. Even ants in the beds.
