[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been going back and forth on this idea.  I live in Anne Arundel County, so it's easy to go out on 70 to the Berkeley Springs area.  We rent a cabin there every year, and the prices are so cheap, it's tempting to buy our own.

For safety and practicality's sake, I would prefer a cabin that's not terribly isolated.  I also don't want well water or a septic system, and I do want highspeed internet, so I was leaning toward a cabin resort/community like The Woods in Hedgesville, WV.  We drove through it and checked out some homes last month, but even though it's only 12 miles from Berkeley Springs (which has some restaurants we like), it felt much farther because it's a twisty roller-coaster of a road.

Sigh.  Just can't find the perfect place.  And even Berkeley Springs is probably too far for us to go every other weekend, which is what I was envisioning.  I have scoured all the towns on 70 between here and there (Frederick, Hagerstown, and everything in between) for little retreats in the woods, and unbelievably there don't seem to be any.  [/quote]

Look up Lake Holiday in Cross Junction, VA.  it is on 522 headed towards Berkley Springs.  Gated community with a large lake for boating/fishing/swimming.  There is a water treatment facility so you don't have to worry about a well or sewage.  Some houses are within 5 years old, others are old.  You can get a completely wooded area or a completed cleared area.[/quote]
Oooh, thanks for the tip. [/quote]

I'm the PP.  Most of the lots are about .25 acres, but there are some very secluded areas.  We had a house there and across the street was just woods.  We had one house on the street on either side of us, but not right next door.  Some lots were selling for less than $10k last time I looked.  I just told DH we should think about this.  It is a great place for a summer retreat, or even weekends to just get away.  If you want a bigger lot, there are lots of lots available in the area - check out Clear Brook.  It is a very pretty area - more like farm country.  We have 2 acres there we are trying to sell, but there are so many lots it is making it hard.  Its too big for just a summer home, IMO, but I think Lake Holiday would be a good option.  Berkley Springs and Winchester are both easy drives.   [/quote]
