1. The Luxury of Ultimate Privacy and Exclusivity ποΈπ‘οΈ
The number one reason to book your Last Chance Summer trip with us is our commitment to exclusivity. Most campgrounds become overcrowded as families rush to finish their summer bucket lists. At Timber Valley Retreat, you never have to share.
When you book a Weekend Getaway, you enjoy exclusive use of our entire 15-acre campground. This includes our three cozy cabins: Amber Lodge, Tannerβs Bunkhouse, and Jakeβs Bunkhouse. This privacy is essential for families who want to bond without the noise and distraction of other campers. π°
2. Luxury Glamping: Comfort Meets the Wild πβοΈ
We have perfected the art of “Glamping Perfection.” You don’t have to choose between nature and comfort for your Weekend Getaway.
- Climate Control: As the humidity peaks in late summer, our modern AC units keep your cabins at a crisp, refreshing temperature.
- Plush Bedding: We provide high-quality mattresses and upscale furnishings, ensuring that your Last Chance Summer rest is as restorative as the scenery. ποΈβ¨
3. Direct Access to National Outdoor Adventures π£ββοΈπ₯Ύ
Our location is a paradise for those seeking a high-energy Weekend Getaway. You are just a three-minute walk to some of the most iconic outdoor spots in the Mid-Atlantic.
- Potomac River: Ideal for kayaking, fishing, or a refreshing swim.

4. The “Fountain of Life” Pond Experience π§πΆ
On-property, our spring-fed pond offers a serene alternative to the river. It is the heart of our Weekend Getaway experience.
- Pedal Boat Fun: Take the boat out for a spin and watch the turtles sunning themselves on logs.
