Charming and cozy - a perfect Christmas

JCWMS Westminster, MD
Review Submitted: January 6, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
Moonridge Cottage was even more than I had hoped for. My boyfriend and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our Christmas, and thought an out-of-the-way (but convenient) cabin in the woods would be perfect. And it was. I was delighted with the special care that Bobby took to make the cabin cozy and festive. Upon our arrival, the wood stove was burning, the tree decorated, and wine waiting on the table. Fresh bread was served to complete the homey atmosphere. Bobby could not have been more accomodating with our early arrival and late departure. Our stay was wonderful, and will return in the spring to enjoy the next phase of mother nature.

Loved Moonridge Cottage

Waldorfian Waldorf, MD
Review Submitted: February 2, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
Thoroughly enjoyed our 2-night stay at Moonridge Cottage. From Bobby's wonderful welcoming of homemade bread, a bottle of wine to music playing etc. We loved how the cottage was located in the woods in the mountains but conveniently located to Charlestown Races & Slots, Harper's Ferry, Shepherdstown etc. and lots of restaurants. The cottage was clean and very nicely decorated and had a very homey feel with all of Bobby's special touches including her beautiful paintings & decorations. Bobby was also very accommodating with our arrival and departure times. And she was always an ear shot away if we needed anything. I have recommended the cottage to my family and friends and plan to return one day for another wonderful weekend.

great time at Moonridge!

Review Submitted: January 4, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
Thanks Bobby & Sam, We had a great time at your lovely cabin. It was super to arrive to a warm loaf of fresh bread! We loved all of your art and the many, many small comforts that awaited us. In addition to the cabin itself, we enjoyed hiking nearby on the AT and visiting Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown. I'm sure we'll be back.

Thanks again

Great for secluded, relaxed honeymoon

m. h. p. State College, PA
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My husband and I stayed at Moonridge for our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. We were able to sleep and relax, but also have sights to see locally (Harpers Ferry & Charlestown are really quick drives) The property has a wonderful feel to it that you can't see in the pictures. The inside of the cabin has a wonderful rustic feel, but with very comfortable furniture. There are three skylights that light the cabin up during the day. The kitchen really is well stocked for cooking. Surrounding the cabin are trees that you can hear as the wind whispers through them. Every day we say deer outside the cabin. The porch is fully screened in and has a couch that is great for reading and napping!

I would highly recommend this as a place to get away to have a relaxing and quiet getaway.

Bobbi and her husband were very accomodating and were great to talk to about the local sights and places to visit. If you do rent the property, be sure to pay attention to Bobbi's directions once you get in the neighborhood (mapquest made it overly confusing).

Awesome!

Kieth Baltimore, MD
Review Submitted: May 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
My friends and I had a wonderful weekend in the charmingly rustic Moonridge cabin. The owner's are fantastic. The property is extremely clean and the accomdations have a feeling of both home and the country. It's easy to find, yet you feel like you're deep in the mddile of the mountains. It's only a 10 minute drive from Charles Town. Do yourself a favor and stay here if you're going to Harpers Ferry!
