Make a Day of It

Potomac State Forest
Secluded and beautiful, home to the highest point in any Maryland state forest - Backbone Mountain (3,220 feet). Potomac River headwaters burst from this rugged forest known for its abundant wildlife and excellent trout fishing.
Lostland Run Trailhead
The folded landscape of ravines and coves and sandstone outcrops supports a blend of old-growth eastern hemlock, hardwood forests, dry oak-pine habitats and mesic deciduous forests. Lostland Run itself is a clear, cold mountain stream; the 3.5 mile trail following the stream, including a suspension bridge crossing, affords views of magnificent waterfalls and the confluence with the Potomac River.
High Rock Trailhead
About 40 minutes from The Wildflower and a pretty easy stop over to North Branch Brewing in Keyser on your way back to glamping!

EXCELLENT Based on 81 reviews BrittanyDecember 1, 2023Verified This was a magical little getaway. The aframe was very clean. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a cozy place to unwind. It was a bonus that it was pet friendly because the pups had the best time. NicoleNovember 30, 2023Verified This was a spur of the moment trip for us and we were so impressed! The aframe was remote, felt like home, and clean. We also appreciated that it was pet friendly being that our fur babies are a part of our family and enjoy glamping too! JamieNovember 29, 2023Verified This place is perfect for relaxing and really getting a chance to unplug! If you’re hesitating, don’t! Although, the place is as advertised, very rustic, you have everything you need and with very clear instructions on how to operate everything. It was cozy- even in the winter. RyanNovember 27, 2023Verified It’s a perfect weekend getaway to reset and disconnect. The hosts were very communicative and friendly. The cabin was pristine and cozy. Would definitely rent again! JulieNovember 19, 2023Verified This was beyond what we expected. The perfect amount of “glamping.” Everything was well thought out for setup and it was super cozy. We will be making this trip a yearly tradition! IbrahimNovember 13, 2023Verified We really enjoyed our time here, everything was way better than described. The place and the surroundings were amazing, clean and neat. The instructions were very helpful and clear. I wish I could spend more time and enjoy it more. JennyNovember 12, 2023Verified Such a beautiful and peaceful place! We stayed for 1 day & half and it was awesome! The view of the mountain and the sound of the creek was amazing. As mentioned on the description, there is not a lot to do close by but It was perfect for us since we were looking to relax and being away from the craziness. It was our first time glamping and we found all the directions very easy and simple to follow, We enjoyed the quietness & peaceful moment, great experience! Kara JonesNovember 5, 2023Verified The Aframe and the surrounding area was so beautiful! Would definitely visit again. EmilyNovember 1, 2023Verified From two tired parents we needed this getaway! We had the most perfect time reconnecting. It is obvious the hard work and good heart that was put into this cozy A-frame! We woke up to the peaceful creek and fresh air. We made a fire and warmed apple cider. Most importantly we loved that it was truly off grid. No distractions from the day to day life. Just nature and us! We love that it was dog friendly! Our lab also had the best time! We will definitely be back. Thank you for the cozy stay!
