The Space:
Our family-friendly cottage is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or small groups of friends. We’re right next to a pond bustling with wildlife, secluded in the woods, and only minutes from town with tons of shops and restaurants.

The cottage includes:
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- 3 bedrooms, two with queen-size beds and another with a queen/twin bunk bed (sleeps 3)
- Fully-stocked kitchen with stove/oven and microwave
- Smart TV where you can quickly sign-in to your favorite streaming service
- Central AC and heat to keep you perfectly comfortable, no matter the weather
- WiFi that's fast enough (20 mbps) to stream movies and hold video calls

Outside the cottage, you’ll find:
- Brand new hot tub!
- Large deck with a propane grill
- Outside fire pit with Adirondack chairs
- An outdoor yard game treasure box full of activities for kids and adults: cornhole, volleyball, soccer balls, horseshoes, and many more!

But the best part is that the cottage is directly next to a small, private pond – shared with only one other neighbor. We love listening to the frogs croaking in the springtime. And we’ve caught lots of fish – mostly bass and bluegills – so bring your poles and see if you’ll catch a few! We even have two kayaks you're welcome to use and paddle around the lake. (The water level on the pond varies throughout the year, and is sometimes low in the summer/fall.)

We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).

A few things to note: on occasion, our well water can produce a sulfur smell. This is very common in the area, and is due to the minerality of the soil; the water is perfectly safe to drink, but you may want to bring your own bottled water. Also, while the cottage is on a wooded lot with lots of privacy near the pond and fire pit, there is a neighbor across the street and the driveway, hot tub, and front yard area is in view of the road. We’ve built a privacy fence around the hot tub.

Beyond the cottage itself, we love how close to everything we are:

- Love the outdoors? Berkeley Springs State Park is home to a mineral spa that has been in use since colonial times. The park is renowned for its warm spring water, which flows at a constant temperature of 74.3 degrees. (15 min drive away)
- A little further away is Cacapon State Park a 6,000 + acre nature park great for hiking, fishing, and swimming on their beach (also 15 minutes away)
- Looking for good restaurants & shopping? Driven into downtown Berkeley Springs for small shops, breweries, a tea room, cafes, donut shop, art galleries - lots of local favorites

This area of West Virginia has so much to offer, and Marigold Retreat is the perfect place – whether you want to explore the area, or just relax in the hot tub and take in the sunsets. We’d love to host you!

This cabin offers its guests a hot tub, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Berkeley Springs cabin is smoke free.
