The Art of the Slow Vacation
In a world that celebrates speed, there is a profound rebellion in choosing to slow down. While a weekend getaway is a lovely reset, we invite you to Come Stay A Week at our sanctuary. A seven-day stay allows you to move past the initial “unplugging” phase and enter a state of true immersion.
At Timber Valley Retreat Cabins Maryland, we have created a 100-acre haven where the days are measured by the movement of the sun and the rhythmic sounds of the forest. Located in the heart of Washington County, we are a central hub for families and solo travelers from DC, VA, PA, and WV who are ready to trade the frantic pace of the city for the steady heartbeat of the Appalachian hills.
1. The Full Circadian Reset
When you Come Stay A Week, your body has the chance to realign with nature’s clock. By day three or four, the stress of deadlines and traffic begins to fade, replaced by the natural light of the sunrise over the ridge. Staying in our Timber Valley Retreat Cabins Maryland provides the perfect environment for this reset. Our cabins offer “outdoors with air conditioning,” ensuring that while you are immersed in the wild, you are sleeping in climate-controlled comfort that promotes deep, restorative rest. You can view our different cabin styles in our photo gallery.
2. Deep Exploration of Our 100-Acre Ridge
A weekend only allows for a glimpse of what our property has to offer. When you Come Stay A Week, you can truly explore every “hidden treasure” we have tucked away. You can spend an entire morning in the “Hobbit Area” among the moss-covered rocks, an afternoon at the Railroad Overlook, and still have days left to discover the various hiking trails that wind through our private forest. This depth of exploration is what makes Timber Valley Retreat Cabins Maryland a premier destination for nature lovers.
3. Warm Family Hospitality from Karen and Tom Grosh 🤝
A longer stay allows for a deeper connection with your hosts. Karen and Tom Grosh provide genuine family hospitality that makes you feel like a permanent part of the farm. We love sharing the stories of the land, from the history of the timber frames to the legend of the local Mennonites who once sought refuge here. As a small family owned and operated business, we are dedicated to making your week-long stay as seamless and enriching as possible. Read more about our family story and our commitment to this land.
4. The Majestic Potomac River: A Seven-Day Companion
The Potomac River, often called “The Nation’s River,” is a vital waterway for history, recreation, and wildlife. Flowing 383 miles from the Appalachian Highlands to the Chesapeake Bay, it forms the natural borders for Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. When you Come Stay A Week, the river becomes a familiar friend. You can enjoy different sections of the riverbanks each day, observing how the light and the wildlife change. Check the Maryland DNR Fisheries for local nature facts and the best spots to observe the river’s interaction with our local terrain.
5. Mastering the C&O Canal Towpath
Being just a three-minute walk from the C&O Canal National Historical Park is a major perk of our Timber Valley Retreat Cabins Maryland. A week-long stay gives you the time to bike or hike significant portions of the 184.5-mile towpath. You can visit multiple historic stone locks, read every interpretive sign, and truly understand the engineering marvel that once fueled the region’s commerce. For maps and history, the National Park Service is an invaluable resource.
6. Multiple Adventures on a Traditional Wagon Ride
An official production of Timber Valley Retreat, our signature Wagon Ride is often the highlight of a guest’s stay. When you Come Stay A Week, you might even get to experience the ride in different lighting—perhaps a morning tour to see the dew on the wildflowers or an evening trip to watch the sunset over the valley. It is a slow-paced, nostalgic journey that provides a unique “look down” view of our 100-acre farm.
7. Daily Serenity at the Spring Fed Pond
Our Spring fed pond is a place of absolute tranquility. The water is clear, cool, and constantly refreshed by natural underground springs. When you Come Stay A Week, you can make the pond a part of your daily ritual—perhaps a morning paddle in our boat or an afternoon of quiet reflection on the bank. This constant access to water has a profound cooling and calming effect on the spirit, which is a hallmark of our Timber Valley Retreat Cabins Maryland experience.
8. Tracking the Majestic Bald Eagle 🦅
Nature is not on a schedule, which is why a longer stay is so beneficial for wildlife enthusiasts. A Bald Eagle visits the farm often, but sightings are never guaranteed in a single afternoon. When you Come Stay A Week, your chances of seeing this powerful bird soar over the valley or hunt near the river increase ten-fold. Our farm provides a protected habitat for eagles, deer, turkeys, and diverse songbirds that will become your daily neighbors.
9. Sunset Rituals at the Railroad Overlook
The Railroad Overlook offers a spectacular vantage point that captures the spirit of the Maryland mountains. Watching the trains wind through the valley is a rhythmic and grounding experience. During a week-long stay, you can witness how the sunset shifts along the horizon, painting the sky in different hues of purple and gold each night. It is the perfect spot to end each day of your Come Stay A Week adventure.
10. Supporting Small Family Business and Local Culture
Thank you for choosing to support our small family business. Every time a guest chooses to Come Stay A Week at our retreat, they are helping us preserve this historic 100-acre property for future generations. We take immense pride in our Airbnb Reviews and love seeing our guests become a part of the local fabric.
