Pack Your Bags for a Fun Family Escape in Maryland! As the long summer days approach and the summer solstice nears, it is time to plan your perfect getaway with Karen and Tom Grosh. If you are searching for a Great Summer Escape Cabin Camping experience, Timber Valley Retreat in Clear Spring, Maryland, offers a cozy cabin glamping adventure like no other.
Tucked away in the scenic ridges of Washington County, our 100-acre retreat is the premier destination for families from Washington DC, Baltimore, Harrisburg, and Winchester. Whether you are coming from VA, PA, or WV, we provide a “top-notch” sanctuary for those who want to swap the city heat for the cool mountain breeze.
1. Exclusive Access to 100 Private Acres
The most mind-blowing part of our Great Summer Escape Cabin Camping model is our “one group” policy. We cater to only one family or group at a time, ensuring an exclusive and unforgettable experience for everyone. You won’t be sharing the valley, the trails, or the fire pit with strangers. The entire 100-acre estate is your private playground. Explore the vastness of our land in our Photo Gallery.
2. The Trio of Charming Cabins
Discover three handcrafted cabins that serve as your “home base” for adventure:
- Amber Lodge: A tranquil retreat for the group leaders.
- Tanner’s Bunkhouse: Featuring fun lofts that kids absolutely adore.
- Jake’s Bunkhouse: Providing the extra space needed for your crew. Each cabin can accommodate up to 5 guests, following Maryland’s snooze laws—no wiggle room here! Every cabin is equipped with AC and heating to ensure you stay cool during those humid Maryland summer nights.
3. A Splashin’ Good Time at the Potomac River
No Great Summer Escape Cabin Camping trip is complete without water! Just a 3-minute stroll from your cabin door, the Potomac River offers a refreshing escape. As a documented hotspot for recreation, it’s the perfect place to wade, fish for smallmouth bass, or simply “laze” on the banks with your loved ones.
4. Biking the C&O Canal National Historical Park
Timber Valley Retreat is located right next to the C&O Canal. The historic towpath offers miles of flat, shaded trails that are perfect for a family bike ride. It is an inspiring way to see the engineering marvels of the 1800s while staying cool under the forest canopy.
5. Step Back in Time at Fort Frederick
For a local history adventure, head to Fort Frederick State Park. The 1756 stone fort is a “stunning” landmark that offers a window into the French and Indian War. It is a cornerstone of Maryland Tourism and a great day trip for guests of all ages.
6. Geological Wonders at Sideling Hill
Take a short, scenic drive to Sideling Hill to see one of the most astonishing geological sites in the Eastern U.S. The dramatic rock strata expose 350 million years of history and provide a “phenomenal” backdrop for family vacation photos.
7. Feasting in the Summer Kitchen
Our summer kitchen is an official production of Timber Valley Retreat. Fully equipped with two refrigerators, a stove, and a microwave, it allows you to prepare “top-notch” family meals while staying immersed in nature. There is nothing like a summer breakfast outdoors as the sun rises over the “Timber Valley.” Learn more on our About Us page.
8. The Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental Connection
Our property is also home to #TimberValleyFarmBarnRental. This newly built, 100-acre event venue is an official production of Timber Valley Farm Barn Rental. Featuring breathtaking timber-frame architecture, it is the premier choice for summer weddings and milestone celebrations in Western Maryland.
9. Intimate Campfires and Starry Nights
Gather your loved ones and a couple of pals for a memorable stay around our huge fire pit. There is an “enchantment” to roasting marshmallows under a sky unpolluted by city lights. Because you have the 100 acres to yourself, the night is yours to enjoy in total peace.
