Tiny house vacation rentals in Potomac River

From the moment we first arrived, my newlywed wife and I absolutely fell in love with this cabin. Sitting just a few hundred feet northeast of the pinnacle of Sharp Ridge and overlooking High Knob to the east, this little mountain retreat is a close friend to dazzling sunrises and a bejeweled night sky, winding Allegheny roads and the sarcastically-named Dry Run, a whole host of critterkind and the timbers wherein they make their homes, yet a stranger to civilization, the worldwide web, and—of course—blue waters. In our case, we wanted to disconnect from the technocracy in which we live and exclusively spend quality time with one another immersed in the beauty of nature, and we could not have dreamed of a better spot. Despite the isolation, the charming town of Franklin is only a fifteen-minute drive away and has plenty of groceries, gas, restaurants, and that all-important cell service. As I wrote in the guest book, West Virginia stole our hearts and this cabin was the mastermind.

Pictures do not do this place justice! This is a stunning property tucked away, just outside of Frederick Maryland. Very easy to get to. The short hike to the top of the property is rewarded with stunning mountain views and sunsets! We also did the half mile hike from the top of the property to the Appalachian Trail on to Washington Monument State Park! We loved the cabin itself as it is very rustic and so cozy! We enjoyed the fire pit and smores every night we stayed. The host was extremely helpful, providing local events that weekend and a great recommendation for restaurants and vineyards. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a getaway outside of DC in the mountains!

Ilse's tiny house was just what we'd hoped for... peaceful setting, simplicity in a pastorale setting. Loved our walks down the lane and eating out on the porch. Ilse answered all our questions in a timely manner and made sure our visit was stellar!

A beautiful unwind with chirping birds at sunset and so many friendly animals from cats, dogs, horses and mini dunkeys. A time capsule where internet and hyper connected life was not a thing. I really enjoyed the secluded and this private beautiful cabin, from the delicious breakfast to stunning sunrises. I was a bit concerned to find bugs as we are immersed in nature and close to the woods, and I was relieved to be able to sleep soundly and wake up with no bugs, thanks to the very clean place🙌. I recommend to anyone who love glamping and can live few days without a wifi and the comfort o an in-suite room. Thank you Robin for all your attention and care!

Julia's place is an Idyllic setting - so tranquil, yet close enough to a great tavern for dinner. Amazing - we cannot wait to come back.

Patricia was an amazing hostess. Very gracious made it a home away from home. It was hard to leave for our concert nearby. Very relaxing cabin,we even slept very well there. Normally we don’t sleep well when we are away from home.

We enjoyed our stay in Masha's delightful Urban Cottage and would definitely consider booking there again. It was a lovely atmosphere surrounded by trees in a forest setting, while still being easily accessible from DC.

Our staying at Sunrise Spring Glamp was amazing the place is so beautiful and peaceful, we had a great time and I can’t wait to come back with my family 🏕️😍

We were in the area to visit Falling Water on our way back home and decided to spend a night and Grant’s place appealed to us since it was off beaten path and offer seclusions with nice pond view. We also wanted to try out a container home and small place living. Grant did a nice job providing a comfortable place to hang out and relax. Saw lots of wild life!!! Note: it’s located on gravel road, if your vehicle is low to ground it may be a little challenging getting there.

Staying at Eugene’s place was greatI. The view was beautiful! The cabin was super clean and welcoming. We were also a short ride to town. Absolutely would look forward to staying at this place again.

I did a random search for a long weekend getaway that was a drivable distance from home. I found the Sugah Shack and after seeing the photos and reading all the excellent reviews, I knew it was the place for us- not even knowing what to expect when we got there. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival -we felt "at home" with every need taken care of for us. The place was spotless and very clean- I am very picky too :) Everything about this home was wonderful. I wouldn't want to stay any other place in Afton. We plan to return annually as there is so much more we want to see and do. For those reading regarding recommendations while there- we took a 3 mile walk along the Rockfish Valley Trail, had dinner at Three Notch'd Brewery (decent burgers/chicken sandwiches, fries and a really good Old Fashioned and beer selection, we stopped by Veritas Winery which was really nice -equally good white and red options, we also ate at Devil's Backbone (5/10) and Bold Rock Cidery (5/10).

We loved Tommy and Sheryl’s tiny cabin! It was super clean, beautiful and offered everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Great hosts ~ Thank you both!!!

Meadow’s Edge Cottage was clean, wonderfully decorated, and cozy. It had all the amenities you could need. The surrounding farm was gorgeous and truly an amazing place to relax. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Meadow’s Edge Cottage for a relaxing escape from the city.

Great place! Super clean and was such a nice retreat for a mini honeymoon.

This cabin was the perfect find! My best friend and I took a trip here for our birthdays and we had a blast! The cabin was very cute, clean, and had everything we needed for our 3 day trip. It was private and surrounded by lots of trees and nature. The view from the kitchen/dining room and the hot tub is stunning! Pictures do no justice! Brian was a great host! I I have nothing but good things to say about Brian’s cabin. I definitely recommend booking!

Our little getaway was great! Cute little guesthouse with cozy feel. Everything was easy to navigate and use.

Enjoyed the place, loved the area, would recommend. Never stayed in a dome before, it was very comfortable and I had no issues despite my height (6’5”). Would recommend. I suggest bringing some bug spray and/or citronella candles if you’re planning on hanging out outside in the evenings. It got a bit buggy but it was the perfect atmosphere once the citronella and provided tiki torches were lit.

Review This was our second time staying in this adorable cottage. We spent 10 days in 2023 & we just spent another 10 days! (May/June 2025) We would love to return again in the future! Clean and cute with a small private beach and gorgeous sunrises! The screen porch and outside shower were a plus! The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. Kayaking was fun! We brought our bikes and daily biked around the area and we also walked the charming town of Urbanna. We attended church at the Urbanna Baptist Church and met several of the locals who were so friendly and welcoming. What a relaxing delightful place! It was a pleasure meeting Ned on our first day. We cannot say enough good things about this enchanting place. Thank you Ned and Holly for sharing your cottage with us and for the great communication! We hope to visit again!

The place was great! I had success fishing with some worms! I caught probably 10-15 small red drum I believe! It was located in a great area! All the other towns were about 20-30 minutes away. I would recommend this place 100 times over

What an absolutely lovely place! Just perfect for a peaceful getaway. If you love cozy, clean, bright and airy spots right on the water - this is the place! Walking is easy to many restaurants (including a yummy taco truck), and the Calvert Marine museum and AnnMarie Sculpture Garden are close and totally worth doing. We brought our kayak and had a nice row - putting in directly off the dock of the home. Just overall great place. Definitely recommend!

Great place, quiet in a beautiful setting. For the size of the town it was nice to find two notable places to eat; "Mack's Bingo Kitchen" for dinner and the "Lost River Trading Post" for a light fare and coffee. There are some great hiking trails near by and within a reasonable drive. Unfortunately most of our stay we had rain but we managed to get one good hike in. Hosts were very responsive to our inquiries. Thanks!

fantastic little spot tucked away in the woods. comfy, well appointed, and nice amenities

We loved this tiny home! Our jaws dropped when we got there and the rest of the stay was a complete delight! It felt like they had thought of everything before we had arrived and we felt cared for the whole stay!

I spent the previous 3 nights camping while cycling the GAP/C&O trail from Pittsburgh to DC.... this cabin was the perfect place to relax and recharge; especially since rain was forecastee overnight. The cabin is in a real beautiful area just through Shepherdstown. if you are on a bike and did a long day, stop and get dinner before you go to the cabin... there are a few hills between downtown and the cabin that might hurt a bit.
