Experience Our Exclusive Timber Valley Retreat Lodging 🌿

Timber Valley Retreat Lodging

When you look for a getaway in Washington County, Maryland, you deserve more than just a room; you deserve a private and exclusive 100-acre experience. At Timber Valley Retreat, our lodging is designed to immerse you in nature while providing the comforts of home. Whether you are traveling from PA, DC, WV, or VA, our farm offers a “green” sanctuary where the landscape is the main attraction.

Beyond the Cabins: A Total Farm Immersion

While our three cozy cabins, including the popular Jake’s Bunkhouse, provide the perfect rustic escape, the experience extends far beyond four walls. We have carefully curated our property to be both Pet Friendly and Kid Friendly, ensuring that every member of your group finds peace and adventure.

1. The Summer Kitchen and Outdoor Shower

Our summer kitchen offers a unique way to enjoy meals in the fresh Maryland air, keeping the “production” of your vacation seamless and fun. For a truly refreshing experience, our outdoor shower allows you to rinse off under the open sky, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the woods.

2. Exclusive Access to the Spring-Fed Pond

Just a short walk from your cabin, the spring-fed pond serves as a tranquil centerpiece for your stay. Guests love to sit by the water and watch for the Bald Eagles that frequent the area. It is a place of deep quiet that you won’t have to share with strangers.

3. Adventure in the Enchanted Forest and The Cove

Your stay includes full access to our private trail system. Wander through the Enchanted Forest, a magical stretch of timber that feels worlds away from the city. Explore The Cove, a hidden gem on the property that offers some of the best bird-watching opportunities for enthusiasts following our Eastern Bluebird conservation efforts.

4. The Timber Valley Railroad Overlook

For a touch of local history, guests can hike up to the Timber Valley Railroad Overlook. It provides a breathtaking view of the regional rail lines and a connection to the historic C&O Canal era. It is one of the most photographed spots on the farm and a must-see during your visit.

5. Evening Gatherings at the Large Firepit and Play Area

As the sun sets over the 15-acre ridge, gather your group at our large firepit. It is the perfect spot for sharing stories after a day of exploring. Nearby, our kid-friendly play area ensures the little ones have a space of their own to burn off energy while the adults relax by the fire. 🐦

The Ultimate Unique Excursion

Don’t forget that every booking includes the opportunity for our Timber Valley Trailblazer Wagon Ride. This is something no one else offers, taking you from your cabin door through the heart of our 100-acre production to see the best views the farm has to offer.

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!

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!

10/10 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.

From 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!

Beautiful 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.

Tom 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!

Tom 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.

In 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.

Wow, 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 💙

Wonderful 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.

This 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.

Booked 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!

Our 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!
