Applemoon is a dog-friendly 1960s log cabin nestled on an acre of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Two 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.
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.
