This intimate and romantic vacation retreat is
conveniently located 100 miles from Washington D.C. and
Baltimore, MD; 210 miles from Philadelphia; and 150 miles
from Pittsburgh, PA. The secluded cottage has been
lovingly restored and meticulously preserved to its 1820's
roots and is tastefully decorated with furnishings that
reflect the historic charm of the period. Furnishings
include antiques from the 1820 - 1840 period, but modern
amenities have been added for comfort and convenience.
Boasting a large front porch, the home begs for company to
share its breathtaking view of the beautiful surrounding
countryside. Gobbler's Knob has been featured in regional
magazines, local newspapers, and on national television.
The two-story home provides delightful accommodations.
The first floor includes a separate dining room, a living
room with a full-sized sleeper sofa, and an immense
wood-burning stone fireplace. The kitchen is fully modern,
equipped with a microwave oven and other time-saving
amenities. Across the hall from the full bathroom is the R
and R (Romance and Relaxation) room, featuring a
two-person whirlpool bath. The second floor features a
master bedroom with a king-sized bed and a second bedroom
with a set of twin beds. There is also a charming sitting
room between the bedrooms. For your convenience, there is
also a washer and dryer in the first-floor mudroom.
Your favorite pastime may be relaxing in the hammock in
the woods or on the swing on the front porch; watching
deer, raccoons, foxes, rabbits, turkeys, and other
wildlife; or enjoying a meal at the picnic table in the
woods. The surrounding area provides a wealth of things to
do and see. Cacapon Resort State Park is five minutes away
for sight-seeing, horseback riding, boating, swimming,
fishing, tennis, nature walks, and golf at the Robert
Trent Jones Championship Golf Course. |
