Relax on Adirondack chairs, soak in the glorious sunsets over the Potomac River, where it meets Antietam Creek. Start your day with a coffee or tea, as you watch sunrise over Elk Ridge. The Solo Stove fire pit is safe and easy.

Naturalist Emily maintains the property for birds and butterflies, and native plantings surround the property.

Two queen beds with fresh linens, fluffy pillows, cozy blankets, and blackout curtains ensure restful sleep.

The Great Room faces south, allowing for passive solar heating and unmatched natural light.

The kitchen is new, equipped and designed for cooking, including oil and spices.

The luxurious LayZBoy recliner couch is in front of the E-fireplace. Enjoy watching favorite shows on the 50-inch smart TV via WiFi.

Hiking, running, biking, kayaking, birdwatching, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, this property offers a variety of activities.

**Please note that vaping, smoking, and pets are strictly prohibited indoors and outdoors on the entire property.**

We use natural oils and O3 machines, no chemical fragrances. Minimal necessary disinfection is used.

We live next door, and can be right there, if there’s any issue. We love this area, and the rich history and biodiversity here.

Rent directly with local hosts. Support small local business, save money, and keep it in the community (unlike platforms). As we move towards non-profit, we will continue to reinvest in ecology, education, and conservation work at West of Walden.

Save money, save the world, and spend local when you stay local!
