*Our cancellation policy is a little different than the limited options offered by VRBO. If you need to cancel & we can rebook your dates, we return 100% of what we are able to recover on your behalf. This wasn't an option that VRBO had listed.

*There are now 3 private bedrooms with doors & sound proofing on the 3rd floor as of 6-2023 instead of a large open loft area.

*Luxury tiny house is dog friendly and the main chalet is NOT dog friendly. The tiny house is within 100 ft of chalet and is upscale.

There is an additional flat fee of $500 to add the Luxury Tiny House regardless of the number of nights rented. It isn't included in the pricing noted on VRBO.

*Out of respect for guests with allergies, the main house ISN'T pet/dog friendly except the Pavilion Bedroom Suite which has a separate entrance. The entire Tiny House is dog friendly.

*Full disclosure: VRBO's system shows base rates as the price per night at first glance but the base price doesn't reflect the addition of fees so please look deeper for the overall price. For instance, the cleaning cost is $850 (takes 40-50 hours); the laundry fee is $500 (towels & linens for 20+ guests and 20+ beds), taxes which are a pass through to the county & state & VRBO's service fee are not reflected in the base price posted as the daily rate.

Family time was the BEST time!
When Lynn tells you not to overpack, please LISTEN to her. She has everything and then some. The kitchen was a dream to cook in. Finally a rental that can sleep 25 actually has a stocked kitchen to cook for 25. She has more towels in the bathroom than Kohls has on their store shelves. We have found our forever rental that checks off every box for our needs for a four generation family to have a relaxing get away from jobs, stress, and just enjoy peaceful family time making memories that are priceless. Book it, you won't regret it!!

Terrific Family Getaway
This vacation home was better than any other we've experienced. The great rooms and family rooms were huge, and a lot of the bedrooms were spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 23 with space to spare. The cousins had a great time in the river and in the yard. This host is wonderful, she worked through any little glitches or questions we had, and even handled a major failure with very little inconvenience. She had everything we wanted, and even a couple of things we didn't expect. You should have SIX STARS. We highly recommend Stillwater Haven and hope to return.

Host profile image
Lynn Aycock (Stillwater Haven - Owner) Lynn has a deep-seated desire to serve others and bring joy to their lives. Her chosen method for achieving the expression of her great gift of serving is through the Short-term Rental Business. The primary goal of her retreat is for families and friends to gather and create life-long memories together, always within an environment of love. She has hosted family reunions, friend gatherings, and other special occasions for 15+ years in Fayetteville, West Virginia and is currently hosting guests in Friendsville, Maryland at Stillwater Haven. Lynn has been satisfying an attraction to outdoor adventure through her Whitewater Boating and Canoeing interest for 35+ years. She has taken her hobby to the limits by traveling extensively across Northern and Southern America boating creeks and rivers with her friends. Other interests include trail riding with her horses and hiking with her dog along the beautiful trails where she resides in Friendsville, Maryland. Lynn has over 35+ years of experience as a Commercial Insurance Producer & Consultant specializing in coordinating insurance and risk management for the construction industry. Her knowledge in the field has served businesses with the needed guidance and planning for developing cost, claims, and safety management for many construction clients.

Why they chose this property

OUR STORY- Stillwater Haven’s owner, Lynn, has been an accomplished Class III-IV whitewater boater for 35+ years and considers the Upper Yough her favorite whitewater river. So, it should come as no surprise that she would purchase a plot of land with an 1800’s era Victorian House lovingly built right next to it. When Lynn decided to move to Friendsville and use the “Yough House” as her full time residence, she didn’t realize that the house had structural water damage and neither the history nor the foundation of the house could be salvaged. Putting two and two together, the recommendation was to completely demolish the house and start over from scratch. Lynn was unsure of what to do at that point. Should she build a “little house” for her personal use or should she design and create a place where families and friends could come together to celebrate special occasions and make great memories? It was at that point that she decided to sell her vacation rental property, Lynn’s Pond House, in Fayetteville, West Virginia after serving a wide diversity of guests for over 8 years. This way she could focus on creating a new gathering place for families and friends in a completely new adventure area, one in which she has a personal passion for through her many experiences enjoying the region. Hence the launch of a new venture began with the creation of the riverside retreat in Friendsville Maryland – Stillwater Haven. The name Stillwater Haven originated out of a comparison between the stillness of the water by the house and the challenging rapids several miles upstream. Lynn compared it to the stillness she was experiencing in her own life. She needed to be still and see what God’s plan for her and the house would be...…
