the Outpost- Stunning Berkeley Springs Lux Retreat

Check out the newest addition to the Camp Potomac Peak family- the Outpost! Featured in Dwell magazine and winner of the 2025 Award of Merit from the NOVA American Institute of Architects, the Outpost is a modern luxury mountain retreat. Complete with all the features and design you would expect in an urban environment, yet magically situated on a private mountain ridge.

The Outpost is located on a ridge of Cacapon Mountain and offers stellar views over the Cacapon River Valley and into Maryland. Situated on 14 acres, the property offers plenty of room for stretching your legs and walking around the grounds. We are just 20 minutes from the spa town of Berkeley Springs, two fantastic state parks, and two amazing rivers.

There is a private community Cacapon river access available for use by guests- the perfect place to swim, wade, or fish- just a short drive down the mountain. Upon booking we will send our personalized guide to the area which features all our favorite spots to eat, drink, shop and get outside and enjoy our little slice of heaven.

IN THE HOUSE:

The main level has a chef's dream kitchen-- complete with double Refrigerators, island cooktop, multiple sinks and loads of counterspace. For the coffee lover, the Outpost provides a commercial quality espresso machine and grinder. Connected to the open kitchen space you will find a large dining and living area complete with seating for 10, an ultra-mod wood stove, and a view of the Cacapon River Valley for miles.

The lower level offers an extensive home gym with commercial quality equipment, a sauna, and a stocked family friendly game and movie room--complete with foosball, skeeball, and a miss pac-man arcade machine.

Four bedrooms--and four full bathrooms- offer sleeping options to suit any group up to 10.

Multiple outdoor living options include a stunning cantilevered deck which has comfortable seating around a propane fireplace. Dine out in the screened in covered porch, and roast your s'mores around a spacious outdoor firepit with Adirondack seating for 10. A new hot tub is located on the lower level underneath the deck and is the perfect spot to end the day!

We provide almost everything you need including high-quality linens, luxury bath towels/hand towels/washcloths, paper towels, toilet paper, basic spices/sugar/olive oil, fully stocked kitchen, all-natural shampoo/conditioner/body wash, natural hand soap, dish soap/detergent, etc. (we will email a full list upon booking).

Upon arrival, you'll find a bag of locally roasted fresh coffee beans and a s'mores kit waiting for you. Play some foosball, Miss Pacman, or board games in the game room...tune into the Sonos speakers throughout the house...relax on the outdoor sofa while grilling up dinner...watch a movie on the smart TVs ... soak in the hot tub and finish your night with a fire in the wood stove or outdoor fire pit (we stock you with dry firewood!)...

The property has reliable, fast wifi, smart TVs, and good cell phone coverage.

The Outpost is dog friendly--we allow one, well behaved dog per stay. We provide dog bowls, sheet, towel, and poop bags. A $150 pet fee covers additional cleaning.



The road up to the Outpost is a bit steep and bumpy. While most vehicles can handle it in normal conditions, we highly recommend AWD or 4WD in inclement weather conditions. We'd also caution you from driving that low riding sports car... maybe opt for the SUV if that's an option!

We will be available 24 hours a day for any questions during your stay, and live just ten minutes down the road. We are local to the area and happy to assist with your vacation plans in advance of your stay!

We are meticulous about cleaning, and can ensure that the place will be spotless. The towels and sheets aren’t the only things fresh—as we wash all throw blankets and duvet covers before every guest.

We also live just ten minutes away from The Outpost, so if anything comes up where you might need assistance with something, we are almost always the ones you will interface with. Jeff is incredibly handy and can fix/solve most anything (but don't tell him I admitted that). We are both personally involved in ALL of the day-to-day operations at CPP, and we are available 24/7 (we provide our personal cell phone #'s upon arrival). We have an absolutely AWESOME team member, Mandi, who does most all of our cleaning and detailing to make your stay perfect. You may see one of us on the property during your stay servicing another unit- please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable!

We totally understand that things come up and plans may need to change. We allow one reservation change outside of the cancellation window. Requests for changes inside of the cancellation window will result in related penalties per our cancellation policy. Just as we handle cancellations within the window, should the lodge rebook for the original nights of your scheduled stay, a full refund of the rebooked nights will be issued.
