Timber Valley Retreat is an absolute gem! We recently brought our Girl Scout troop to their private campground, and Tom and Karen went completely above and beyond to make sure our girls had an unforgettable experience. The girls were absolutely enchanted by the "enchanted forest," and they had a blast exploring the property, especially the pond (we might or might not have lost a croc or two....beware! LOL). The Grosh's and their fur babies also treated us to a fantastic ‘hayless-hayride’ that was a huge highlight of our trip, especially the stop at the Billy-goat Farmstand. Thank you!!!! The property itself is beautiful and incredibly well-maintained and I especially appreciated the clean and tidy cabins/facilities. The hospitality here is unmatched. Tom and Karen truly care about their guests and went out of their way to keep the girls happy, engaged, and safe. Tom even went out of his way to help one of my girls earn a badge that's been a tough one for her. We will definitely be back! Thank you for hosting our troop so beautifully!+4Posted on Airbnb

Loved the stay! Pictures don’t do it justice. Lots of space for guests, easy walk down to the CO foot path and an easy place to wade into the Potomac right off the property. Tom and Karen were responsive and hospitable and even took us on a wagon ride!Posted on Google
Johnna Benson42 days ago10/10 experience at Timber Valley! We had the best stay at this retreat with 8 adults and 9 kids. The facilities were clean, tidy and the hosts were beyond friendly and accommodating. Our kids had a blast swimming in the river, cold plunging and paddle boating in the spring and the secret garden space was so enchanting. Core family memories were made here for sure! We will definitely be back.+2Posted on Airbnb
Kristine57 days agoFrom before we entered the campsite, Tom was very proactive and responsive to meeting our needs. He then met us onsite to orient us to the campsite. Cabins were incredibly clean and comfortable. Campfire wood was well stocked. The location was beautiful - perfect space for our extended family to enjoy nature and time together. Tom also gave us a wagon ride around the local surroundings - our kids had the time of their lives! Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you Tom and Karen!Posted on Google
Cecilia Gehris59 days agoThe cabins were clean, well furnished, and air conditioned. My kids loved the play grounds, fishing, and hanging around the site in the evening.Posted on Airbnb
Brad71 days agoThis is a beautiful property that was perfect for our bachelor party weekend. Cabins are all clean, AC worked well, kitchen amenities all in good order. Tons of shade and outdoor space, nice pit, and easy access to the river!Posted on Airbnb
Kat73 days agoBeautiful place! Already recommended it to friends and family. Had an awesome time. Karen and Tom were super helpful and not too far away when we needed something. We had a pretty decent size group and there was a lot to do. It kind of felt like being back at camp 🏕️ based on what my teens said and I would agree. Loved it! Everyone was happy. Thank you to Karen and Tom for being wonderful and allowing us to stay at their stunning property.Posted on Airbnb
Deanna85 days agoTom and Karen have created a magical escape for visitors of all ages. From the minute you arrive, the incredible hospitality is obvious and you feel right at home. Timber Valley is stocked with amenities beyond the typical; the property hosts plenty of opportunities for relaxation, play, and exploration; the wagon ride was a fun outing that the kids really enjoyed; the “enchanted forest” was nothing short of a fairy tale experience; and the layout and setup were well thought out and very comfortable. We hadn’t even reached the last day of our stay and we were already planning a trip back in the future! This was by far one of the best AirBNB experiences we’ve had, and we are sincerely grateful to Tom and Karen for the chance to stay here!Posted on Airbnb
Leanna92 days agoTom and Karen's place exceeded all expectations. We were blown away by how roomy the cabins are, the beautiful crystal clear pond, the wild life, and so much more. Tom even took us on a wagon ride and the kids loved being able to pet and snuggle on their old pups. There is a lot to be said about the property and the owners. All wonderful things. definitely a spot that needs to be revisted again and again. we walked a lot of trails and still have more to come back and enjoy that we haven't been on yet.Posted on Google
Rama Gehris92 days agoIn Oct 2025 my friends and I stayed at Timber Valley Retreat for the 2025 Maryland Bear Lottery using the camp as our home base during the hunt. We ended up falling in love with this place and the owners who treated us as family. So much so that we are returning to the Timber Valley Retreat for our summer vacation. The cabins and all accommodations were amazing. The whole camp site is professionally maintained. Additionally, the location makes for a perfect friends gathering or family reunion. They’ll always be our go-to place to stay when visiting western Maryland.Posted on Airbnb
Melinda99 days agoWow, we just had the best long weekend. This place was extremely clean, air conditioning was nice and cold, kitchen well equiped, shower hot, a lot of very comfy beds and pillows. We felt at home and Tom went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Tom took us on a cool wagon ride. The fire pit was big enough for all of us and the covered porch perfect during and nice summer storm so we could stay outside. We will definitely be back for sure. Thank you Tom and Karen 💙Posted on Airbnb
Sean119 days agoWonderful stay. Tom and Karen were extremely hospitable. The property suited our large group with the many beds, and though constant rain put a damper on the weekend, there was still plenty of space to spread out and spend time. Tom went above and beyond telling us about local events and even taking time to give us a tour of the surrounding country on his trailer. Great place for large groups.Posted on Airbnb
Michael127 days agoThis is our second visit to Tom and Karen's amazing retreat site. Tom and Karen are the most hospitable hosts you can imagine. Their location is a wonderland of Peace, spacious areas and so much to do. They added a trail ride which was so much fun. I have plans to visit their campsite every year for the rest of my life, and my friends feel the same. It is truly a hidden gem in such a magical place where beautiful memories can happen. It's rare to go to an Airbnb and you feel like family. 10 out of 10 A,+++. I can't give them a high enough review. Their location is Shangri-La.Posted on Airbnb
Alexander183 days agoBooked this stay for a friends trip and it did not disappoint. The pictures don't really do it justice but it's a beautiful property, outside of the city enough to find quiet but with cell signal. We loved the place so much it's top of the list if we do another trip in the DMV area in the future. Everything was cleaned, well-equipped, and Tom was very reachable and proactive in helping us navigate to and prepare for our stay. Bottom line, great stay and great hosts!Posted on Google
Kirsten Willhide375 days agoOur stay at Timber valley was amazing beyond our expectations! We rented out the campsite from Friday night until Sunday morning for our wedding celebration. The campsite was clean, well-maintained and secluded. The cabins exceeded our expectations and we even convinced friends to camp for their very first time. Tom was always a phone call away for picking us up on the side by side or letting us know it was time for the wagon ride. We can not wait to book another weekend here!Posted on Google

Love, love, this place!! Can’t wait to go back. The cabins had everything you needed. Everything was clean and when you have questions you get a fast response! And We all enjoyed our wagon ride. Can’t recommend this place more. And this is coming from someone that doesn’t really do the outdoors .Posted on Google

Bobbi Kuhns669 days agoI am sorry I did not review this sooner but here goes. From the time we stepped onto the property till we left we felt welcomed. Tom was a great host. The amenities were too many to list. So much room and comfortable for our extended family getaway over the 4th of July. Thanks for a great time. Hope to see you again.+3Posted on Facebook
Bev Stitely742 days agoWe have had the most wonderful 3-generation weekend at Timber Valley. Everything has been thought of by the hosts Tom and Karen. Saw so many wild turkeys and deer. Loved the wagon ride around the farm. Three hammocks!! We brought our own kids kayaks.Posted on Google
Bev Stitely742 days agoWonderful and relaxing location for a getaway with my 3 grandchildren and their parents. Everyone had an amazing time. I was amazed with the size of the area for us to use and everything was there that we needed down to the smallest detail. Loved the hay wagon tour of the property. Not only am I recommending “glamping” to all my friends and family.Posted on Google
Anthony Astorino770 days agoWe had the greatest time with family and friends celebrating my birthday. Karen and Tom were the nicest and most hospitable hosts that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. From hanging out with their friendly pups, to taking the kids on a gator ride around their beautiful property, or giving us a walking tour of the grounds, Tom and Karen were the best! You can tell they take a lot of care and pride in making you feel right at home. There is so much to do! From playing in the pond on the boat, the walk through the 'Enchanted Forest', the abundance of wildlife, a relaxing river walk, sitting around the huge firepit, the playground for the kids, the comfortable and plentiful chairs on the deck, or the comfy and clean cabins with a.c., you will feel relaxed and at peace! I can't wait to go back and feel like Tom and Karen are now extended family!Posted on Facebook
