Great house. Fully stocked. Great location right on the C&O trail. Comfortable and clean. Enjoyed our stay.

Great location for our stay. We celebrated my daughters RN graduation and was very close to college. House was fully stocked clean and the views were awesome. Quiet location and loved being right next to the bike trail which we biked into town. Owners were very quick with answering our questions and easy to work with. 5 stars!!

This property is exactly as described. Ive stayed here more than once and the owners are nice and the house is great. Location is quiet and safe. Would highly recommend.

The owner had decorated the home for the holidays. We had a great time and will stay again.

We had another wonderful Thanksgiving family gathering at this lovely home, four out of the last five years, with 25 of us sharing our holiday together. The large open main floor easily accommodated all of us, and the well appointed kitchen is perfect for food preparation and fun. The setting and location of the house is absolutely perfect, right along the towpath trail making for easy walks along the canal and also back into Cumberland where many of family stayed at the nearby hotel. The house is extremely well kept up, clean and well supplied with everything we needed, and the bedrooms are comfortable and very inviting. Diana and Don are extremely gracious hosts, and we look forward to spending another Thanksgiving there in 2023.

Charming, comfortable and peaceful. Clean, well supplied and owners/hosts left us snacks. Over and above. Can’t wait to come back. Thanks!

Fantastic couple of nights away for four friends. With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathooms (3 of them upstairs with the bedrooms) we had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the immaculate house. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed - and even extra little touches like snacks, coffee, condiments, waters and so much more. We especially enjoyed the great room where we could use the long table for crafts, games, and meals. The porch out back was delightful for morning coffee, looking out over the river and beautiful Fall foliage. We walked along the river and fully enjoyed the whole property. Nearby Cumberland was great for a night out, and some daytime shopping. We also did the train/bike trip from Cumberland to Frostburg which we highly recommend (Tracks and Yaks). We are already talking about how we need to come back, and maybe even bring our families (because there is so much room!). The owners are delightful and kind and we're so glad we found this place for our annual girl's trip.

The property owner was very nice. The house was amazing and was a good match for us. We en6 the bike trail and used or everyday. The view of the river was beautiful. The house had everything we needed. Thanks again.

This house was perfect for 4 couples for a weekend away. It is right on the trail and a short walk into town. The house is well appointed and communication with the owners was easy and they are very responsive. I highly recommend this home! Mary

This was the last stay of our long journey from Georgetown to Cumberland walking the C&O canal. Everything was great about this stay. The location, the house, the river front and the canal behind us. Hosts were wonderful and easy to deal with. Would definitely come back!

Very comfortable and convenient to C&O Canel and Cumberland inner city. Beautiful valley views! House has everything needed to accommodate small to large groups. You may want to leave Fido home. Dogs are permitted outside only as the owners want to provide a safe interior environment for those with allergies.

The house was beautiful and well kept. Having never been to Maryland before we fell in love with it. The views were amazing watching storms roll in from the porch. The house is right on thr bike trails, river and close enough to town to go enjoy the charming town. The host went above and beyond stocking us with snacks, drinks and coffee. Thank you so much for making this weekend memorable.

Very spacious and in a nice location.

Just as advertised. Very nice.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean, roomy and comfortable, well stocked with linens and kitchen/bath supplies. Location is very convenient, bike out the door onto the C&O, 10 minute bike into town and the GAP trail, 10 min drive to Rocky Gap state park. Property has plenty of outdoor space along the river with gorgeous views of downtown Cumberland and comfortable covered patio. Occasional campers and fishers availed of the adjacent campgrounds but were no bother. Enjoyed morning walks around the well groomed property listening to a variety of birds and the very sweet robust smell of honeysuckle in the air. Really appreciated the ice cream sandwiches Diana left in the freezer for the kids which we all enjoyed after long active days. Comfortably hosted extended family for dinner one night with lots of space to sit at the long table and move around the open family room. The long cushioned but firm window benches were really great for resting my back. Great family vacation in Cumberland!

A beautiful farmhouse sitting on 40 riverside acres.

My family and I stayed this past weekend and it was a truly relaxing getaway. The owners are very kind, and have taken the extra steps to ensure a spotless, comfortable home for relaxation. We got out on the river every day, walked along the property and the canal, and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Thank you so much for the chance to stay! It was more than worth every penny.

Well-maintained property in a gorgeous setting. Cumberland was just a short hop from here. Enjoyed the back patio, bike riding the C&O Towpath, and hanging out with friends. We had a total of 5 in our group and at no time did we feel crowded. My friends and I had a good time and recommend the Canal House!

Lovely and comfortable remodeled farm house .great views, interesting trails for hiking and biking. Only minutes from Casino and several ethnic restaurants. Scenic river,canal. The house was perfect for a group of senior woman.

This was a beautiful property!!! The home was gorgeous, fine detail was definitely put into every part of this beautiful home. It was extremely clean and smelled wonderful. The covered back porch was Devine!!!! The owners left snacks for the children, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely will stay again if we are in the area.

This is a beautiful home and property. Out the front door is access to the C&O Canal Trail/Great Allegheny Passage, which is what brought us to the area. We were barely in the home and bikes unloaded when the children, in full view from the home, were out riding on the level gravel road connecting the adjacent camping area on the property. The home is very clean, warm, and comfortable with a spacious living area. The long tables provided (2 at our visit) were perfect to leave one for the children's table activities and the other for dining. The beautiful kitchen had all we needed. The beds/bedrooms were all very comfortable. Visiting in early April was too chilly for us to experience the easy access to the river and water sports, however, the C&O trail was a highlight. Whether you are unfamiliar, as I was, to the C&O trail, or a veteran, you will appreciate the easy access from this property. Both the home and the trail were perfect for our family of grandparents, parents, and young children. Accessibility and ease made us able to take the granddaughters on practice runs of 8-10 mile round trips from the house. One, who turned 7yrs old during our stay, and a 5yr old keeping up on her training wheels. The 7yr old was even able to ride to Frostburg and back with the adults, and the 5yr old rode about 10 miles on the downhill return (all after a great lunch in Frostburg) on her training wheels. Thankfully we had a support vehicle for the non-bicycle miles. We are so glad we found this place. We will be back! Thank you Donelly for being a great host!

This was an amazing property. Very clean, great host and great location. Right next to the C&O Canal and a beautiful view of the mountain range and river. This was a very peaceful getaway for my family. And the home is fully furnished had all sort of nick-nacks for anyone that may have forgotten things at home. Strongly recommend this home for anyone that just want to getaway and unplug.

This is a beautiful property that is ideally located. My young sons loved having room to roam.

Beautiful house with plenty of room for gathering as a group and 5 bedrooms and 3 baths upstairs, also plenty of sleeping areas. Be aware if you have trouble climbing stairs this may be a bit of an issue, as there about 16 stairs to get up to the bedrooms, but there is a bath downstairs, so your trips upstairs will be lessened. Beautiful grounds, great host, beautiful kitchen. Overall excellent place to stay (wish we had longer to stay!)

A wonderful home for a weekend away! The hosts make sure that the home is very clean, and well stocked with everything you will need. The property boasts amazing views of the mountains and the river, with walking trails to soak up the scenes. Being a stones throw from Cumberland city limits provides easy access in and out of town for sight seeing! Thank you for providing such a great place to stay.

Was a great quiet setting to be with friends and family for a weekend getaway. The house had everything you need so no real need to bring anything- Donnelly even leaves you drinks, snacks and cookies as a kind welcoming gesture. Short walk to the canal for great catfishing (make a right out of driveway for a store about a mile up the road for nightcrawlers), The canal walk was also lots of fun. Will definitely come back!

It’s great from seat to finish the whole weekend. Fishing is great and the water was warm.

We loved our stay! The owners welcomed us with many treats in the fridge for our family, which was a very nice touch. We love the area and getting to explore both the riverfront and the canal. There is a pedestrian bridge over the Potomac on the property and a tunnel through a mountain into WV, which our kids were enjoyed. We saw deer, bunnies, groundhogs and other critters. The house was spacious and perfect for our family and was a great place to get to visit with local family. Since the house is older and so close to both the river and canal, there were a few small bugs (mostly spiders) inside, but they didn't both me (just my bug-phobic kids). Thanks for great place to stay, we can't wait to come again.

The home is beautiful, the scenery is magnificent, and we loved our stay. My favorite part is riding the bikes. There are so many trails and easy to ride downtown. Definitely recommend it to others.

This house sits in splendid isolation in a field about a mile south of Cumberland, at the junction of the C&O Canal path & an upper Western MD Railway path that goes thru a tunnel & off into W. VA. It is kept immaculately & the kitchen is generously supplied with snacks as well as bottled water, necessities, & some staples. (Water is from city but sewage relies on septic tank.) Lots of linens & pillows in the bedrooms.Donnelly asked our arrival time so she could meet us with the key. All was cordial & departure was also easy. The two supplied bikes are coaster brake but there's a bike store a mile up the C&O path in Cumberland that rents bikes. Parking there is free & easy.Two notes: (1) The listed amenities do not include washer /dryer -- they are present but not for guest use, likely due to reliance on septic. (2) Kitchen also includes a small rack of Southern Baptist evangelical pamphlets, some of which are harshly critical of other major religions & sects, and house has other (inoffensive) religious messaging on a few placards.

We met for a friend weekend/sewing retreat and the house was perfect! Large living area with two big tables was perfect for sewing and hanging out together. The house was well stocked and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and helpful. We’d definitely stay again!
