Welcome to this patch of serenity on the river's edge, to this hideaway. Take a seat. Decompress a moment.

This is your reprieve from the passwords and online postings that so consumes us.

Here you will find a home that touts all the modern conveniences while ensconced in another time, a slower time, a time of reflection if so inclined.

There is a security camera located in the front of deck, pointing out to steps, driveway, and front yard, and it will be recording 24/7 for safety purposes.

The space
Here you will find three bedrooms that sleep six, two full bathrooms, a kitchen, a flat-screen television, wi-fi and the gorgeous views of the Potomac River, which divides West Virginia from Maryland on the opposite shore.

There is a grill, if grilling is your forte. Ours is a charcoal grill. You provide the briquettes. There is a deck that requires nothing more than your presence.
This stretch of the river lures all kind of water enthusiasts: kayakers, canoers, bird-watchers, photographers, Civil War aficionados and anglers seeking to land a good-sized walleye.

There are plenty of hiking trails around Knott Road. Nothing puts you at one with Mother Nature more than the quiet and solitude of the untouched forests that envelop the area. Many are as they were in the early 1860s, when the Yankees lined the far shore and the Rebels the one that beckoned you.

Otherwise, please enjoy your time in this idyllic setting.

Because the house is located on the banks of the Potomac River, there are two sets of stairs to climb to reach the house. This is to protect the property from a flood. Both sets of stairs have handrails. You can view the stairs in the last photo on the listing.

We have a security camera mounted on the front of our deck. The coverage area includes our driveway, lower steps, and front yard and is recording 24/7. However, it is not our aim to invade your privacy.

Guest access
The entire house, front and back patios, front yard, and water access to the Potomac River.

Other things to note
That rooster you sometimes hear crowing is in charge of the neighborhood watch group, although his calls are mostly directed to the flock of hens that responds to his reports of finding a trove of yummy bugs or the occasional predator. And, my, how the flock loves bits of bread.

Neighbourhood highlights

This stretch of the river lures all kind of water enthusiasts: boaters, kayakers, canoers, bird-watchers, photographers, Civil War aficionados and anglers seeking to land a good-sized walleye.
If your stay is long enough, or you're merely fortunate, you'll come to see that ours is an area teeming with wildlife, from the herd of deer often found grazing above the hill behind the home's backyard patio to the bald eagles and geese that patrol the river's shores.

And there is the river. There is always the river, forever in motion, en route to the Chesapeake Bay.
