River Perch on the Cacapon: private home on 27 acres and 1200 ft of riverfront

This newly remodeled private home is situated on 27 acres with 1200 feet of river front to explore. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, sunroom, stainless kitchen and a full length porch with outdoor dining for 10.

We provide everything you need, including all linens, bath towels/hand towels/washcloths, extra ‘river’ towels, paper towels, toilet paper, fully equipped kitchen for the discerning chef including basic spices and sugar, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soap, and dish soap/detergent.

In addition to the 3 bedrooms (2 with queens and 1 with 2 twins), there is a queen pull-out couch for an extra guest or two. Ascending the stairs from the driveway, you will immediately be able to take in the incredible river views from the deck that spans the entire front of the house.

Maximum of 2 dogs permitted for an additional fee

Guests can enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming, and more just a few hundred feet from the front of the home! Or enjoy the river by just sitting on the edge of the river in the comfortable river chairs provided by River Perch.

As River Perch is near many national forests, national parks, and state parks, it makes a great starting point for exploring this part the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains.

Our German friends loved this house - the beautiful stretch of the Cacapon, the comfortable bedrooms and spacious living areas. The kitchen is well equipped and allowed them to prepare some Thanksgiving dishes as well as breakfast each day. Glenn was a terrific host and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. Thank you!

This property was the most wonderful “home-away-from-home.” The interior was flawlessly clean, welcoming, and had all the amenities and necessities a family (with two kids and two dogs) could need! The owners of the River Perch on the Cacapon were gracious hosts and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We truly felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time.

Beautiful getaway!

We had a wonderful 5-day getaway at the River Perch! The three kids spent hours on the river each day, we went tubing and kayaking, we got to see our dog enjoy her first real swims, and then we got to relax in the very cozy, very clean house with the beautiful front porch view of the Cacapon. Glenn made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay and was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot for a trip away!

Wonderful Getaway

The visit was amazing! Although we had high expectations based on previous reviews, we were not disappointed. The house is very modern and spacious. The deck and the view of the river can't be beat and we wouldn't change a thing. We also got to meet Glenn who was incredibly responsive. We'll definitely be back with more family.

Simply put, this property is amazing! The scenery and surroundings are so tranquil and beautiful. My family and I enjoyed making s'mores at the fire pit, while listening to the river. We also enjoyed tubing and fishing the river as well. The house itself is well equipped and has all the modern amenities you could want or need. The host is easily one of the best hosts I've had in all of my travels and vacations. He is extremely attentive and responsive and gives great advice and recommendations on what to do in the local surroundings.We loved every aspect of our vacation at this beautiful location and we plan on making it a yearly trip!
