Mountain view

Soak up the view during your stay.
Applemoon is a dog-friendly 1960s log cabin nestled on an acre of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 2 bedrooms with Smart TVs, a porch with hanging daybed and bistro table, and a cozy game loft will give you plenty of space to relax. Outside, enjoy dinner on the huge deck or build a fire and don't forget to look up at the night sky!
Applemoon strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and comfort while maintaining your immersion in the peaceful mountain woodlands of Harpers Ferry.

Other things to note
Note regarding children: We have two small children and they love to spend time at Applemoon, so we are kid-tested and approved! However, the cabin is not baby-proofed (i.e., no locks on cabinets, no outlet covers, etc.). Please keep this in mind if booking with little ones. We do have a highchair, baby bath, and kid-friendly plates and utensils and Pack'n'Play (available upon request only).

Note regarding neighbors: While Applemoon is surrounded by woods and you will enjoy your privacy, the cabin is located fairly close to a neighbor on one side. We have planted fast-growing trees and installed privacy panels at the back of the house to increase privacy, but you are able to see the neighbor's house from certain vantage points. We want to be upfront about this in case guests are looking for total seclusion.

Neighborhood highlights

The Lake & Mountain
You will be 1/2 mile from Lake Shannondale where you can purchase a very affordable day pass to enjoy the beauty of the lake and the relaxed beach area. The Mountain Lake Club also offers boat rentals and lunch & dinner.
Shannondale also offers several hiking trails and direct access to the Appalachian Trail less than a mile from the cabin.
Please keep in mind that this is a unique mountain community where each home is different and there is no HOA. Some neighbors are full-time residents and there are also other short-term rentals.

The Area
Downtown Harpers Ferry is located about 10 miles down the mountain and offers historical sightseeing and amazing natural beauty, being at the intersection of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. There are adorable shops to visit, like The Vintage Lady and Two Crows Antiques, as well as some great dining options right on the water. For more adventurous guests, Harpers Ferry also offers whitewater rafting and outdoor adventure activities like treetop obstacle courses, zip-lining, and rafting on the two major rivers.

Charles Town is less than a 15-minute drive from the cabin and is a larger Main Street community with many shopping and dining options, and is home to Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.

The climate and terrain of the Eastern Panhandle have made it a hub for vineyards and wineries. A beautiful 20-mile drive away will lead you to nearly a dozen notable vineyards. A few local favorites are included in our area guide.

Hello! We are your hosts, Ashley and Jason. We are so excited to be able to share our happy little red cabin with the world. We live just over the Maryland border near Frederick, MD in an 1800s Victorian farmhouse we're constantly finding ways to renovate. We love old houses and have been passionate about creating joyful and warm spaces ever since we had our first college apartment together in 2005. We now have 2 young kiddos who are our constant source of amusement, 2 dogs, 1 hamster, and about 75 more board games than we will ever play. Outside of restoring and renovating, we love to go camping, watch horror movies, play Dungeons & Dragons (Jason), and start new craft projects (Ashley).
