We have title records going back to Lord Fairfax for this beautiful land on the Potomac River just a mile from Shepherdstown. The Tiny House was a fishing cabin dating to at least the 1940s. The Main house is a historic stone structure dating to 1815. Learn more about this land: Relax and escape to the peace and quiet by the Potomac River, and wake to beautiful romantic views of the river and mountains in this romantic 200-square foot tiny house situated on 2.5 acres, with 450 feet of river front land.

The tiny cabin by the Potomac offers a cozy escape with stunning river views and a charming atmosphere. Reviewers consistently highlight the cleanliness, thoughtful details, and the opportunity to unplug from modern distractions. The fire pit by the river is a favorite spot for many, providing memorable sunrise and sunset experiences. Some guests noted a faint smell from the pit toilet, which might be a consideration for the sensitive, but overall, the experience is highly recommended.

It was amazing and nice to enjoy the little thing things without all of today’s luxuries I think the biggest and most important thing to me was that there was no tv no distraction from just living and enjoying Mother Nature and life

My girlfriend and I found our trip to Shepherdstown to be amazing, especially having the opportunity to stay at this cute cabin. Everything was very clean and the decorations were charming. All the small details, like journals for guests to write in and games to play with made all the difference. The view was stunning and the fire pit was a nice touch. I would highly recommend staying here if you can.

This tiny house visit was a beautiful experience. The house has everything you need and the view of the river is breathtaking. Fire pit by the water with clear views if sunrise and sunset. Historical walk and the perfect mix of camping and comfortable rest. I highly recommend this stay!
