When Lynn tells you not to overpack, please LISTEN to her. She has everything and then some. The kitchen was a dream to cook in. Finally a rental that can sleep 25 actually has a stocked kitchen to cook for 25. She has more towels in the bathroom than Kohls has on their store shelves. We have found our forever rental that checks off every box for our needs for a four generation family to have a relaxing get away from jobs, stress, and just enjoy peaceful family time making memories that are priceless. Book it, you won't regret it!!

This vacation home was better than any other we've experienced. The great rooms and family rooms were huge, and a lot of the bedrooms were spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 23 with space to spare. The cousins had a great time in the river and in the yard.
This host is wonderful, she worked through any little glitches or questions we had, and even handled a major failure with very little inconvenience. She had everything we wanted, and even a couple of things we didn't expect.
You should have SIX STARS. We highly recommend Stillwater Haven and hope to return.

We stayed at Stillwater Haven for our first ever family reunion trip. The house and surrounding property easily accommodated our group of 15 which included 70 year old grandparents to two year old grandchildren and everyone in between. The house was equipped with so many games (inside (ping pong) and outside (croquet, bocci ball, etc.)) that we didn't even need to leave the property to be entertained all day. Lynn was a great host and always just a text away. We made memories at Stillwater Haven that will last our family a lifetime.

This was our 30th year of our neighborhood golf trip and the best lodging of all of them. The house was spectacular and had everything we needed. Lynn thought of everything that could be available for our group and we were amazed at the accommodations. We easily slept 19 guys in the many rooms and beds available. Plenty of entertainment options but we chose corn hole, horseshoes and pool. The property is amazing and the river view is also. This is a definite 5 out of 5 star destination

Awesome place!
This was the most well-appointed vacation house we could have imagined. The kitchen had everything. It was easy to make dinners for a big group, especially with the double grills outside the kitchen and the buffet table for serving. There were so many games for families to play, including tetherball and there were even bins of legos! We really just needed to bring food and clothes. There isn't room here to list everything we liked.
Tubing from the backyard was as convenient as it gets. There were tables and gathering areas all over the property. It felt like a private resort. Our large group can't wait to go back.

Lovely getaway
Lynn was beyond thoughtful and helpful, and the property was as shown in the pics. Unique setup, beautiful surroundings, lots to do even if it rains (indoor and outdoor games, fireplaces, cooking appliances, printing/office space). Don't need to bring anything (there are plentiful plush towels, extra pillows and blankets, paper products, soaps, fully stocked kitchens with everything from appliances and serving ware/utensils to oil and spices, multiple refrigerators, filtered water, so many games and activities, kids' toys, water tubes/accessories). Lynn even makes sure to have you covered for minor emergencies like needing batteries for a toy or something from the medicine cabinet for a scrape or sunburn. Everything is clean and well maintained. Nice views from wraparound deck with comfortable seating and umbrellas for table cover when needed, and covered patio at ground level faces the river as well. Many of the sleeping spaces are in the open living spaces, but that's evident in the photos and was fine by us as we were just there for a small family getaway. Fun trip, and we will come back!

Outstanding & Relaxing Retreat!
WOW! What an amazing experience and venue to host our end of quarter corporate retreat! Lynn was a fantastic host and provided everything and more needed to have a relaxing weekend. The riverside location and property is absolutely breathtaking and the amenities and property itself was extremely well thought out and designed for families in mind. We will be back thanks to Lynn and her thoughtfulness! 10 out of 10!!!!

Best place for a peaceful getaway
Our family had the best long weekend at Stillwater Haven. There is nothing that you could possibly think of that this home doesn't have waiting for you. Lynn is one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and so are her dogs. Every room is fully equipped with everything you might need to enjoy your stay and feel comfortable. The pictures don't even do the house justice, as it's even more beautiful in person. The beds are all super comfortable, and everything was perfectly clean. We can't wait to book another stay at Stillwater Haven!

Just What the Doctor Order for R&R
Stillwater Haven is a hidden gem of a property that has all the comforts of home on a large scale and is very accommodating to self-contained fun and entertainment for all.
You couldn't ask for a better owner/host in Lynn whose passion for creating memories shines brightly in Stillwater Haven.

Our family celebrated our father's 100 birthday.
Our father was glad to have a ramp to walk into the house. The house comes with everything except a chef. Kitchen fully stocked with professional cookware of all sizes and a large variety of herbs, spices, oils etc. Loved listening to creek and Yough River from large covered decks. There are many outdoor/indoor games including pool table and ping pong table. A great place to celebrate with family of all ages.
Hope to come back in summer or early fall to use the intertubes to float down the river.

We had a group of 20 gather for a cabin/ski weekend at Stillwater Haven and had the BEST time!!! The property is gorgeous and well-designed. Lynn has thought of every possible thing to make sure you enjoy your time there. Let's not forget to mention how incredibly sweet of a person she is too! Thanks so much Lynn and Stillwater team for a weekend we'll never forget. :)

Climbers Paradise
We are a "family" of 16 rock-climbing buddies who wanted to splurge on a convienent home-base for a weekend of bouldering in Coopers Rock State Forest. Stillwater Haven was a paradise for us "dirt-baggers" used to cabins and camping. Plenty of space and two incredible, fully stocked kitchens--we easily prepared a massive "friendsgiving" feast. The house was a welcoming home to relax in after a long cold day on the rocks. I hope we can all make it down again next year!

Stillwater Haven is truly A HAVEN! It totally exceeded our imagination on all aspects. Lynn and her staff are incredible and went above and beyond to have everything we could have ever needed for us, and are SO so kind. They gave us so much information about the area, house, things to do, etc. We LOVED that her two dogs and 3 horses were so friendly for us to visit, pet and play with. From floating on the river, to making fires (at both fire pits!), swinging on the hammocks, and having so much space to enjoy eachother's company... it was just a fabulous time. 10/10 would recommend, and we will CERTAINLY be coming back for another visit!! Thank you Lynn & Stillwater Staff :)

Stillwater Haven is a gorgeous, huge, immaculate home stocked with every possible cooking appliance, game (billiards, ping pong, horseshoes, croquet, monopoly, etc), located right on a beautiful river suited for kayaking, swimming, and tubing (tubes and PFDs, and water guns, provided at no cost). Absolutely perfect for a family reunion — or a wedding, which is why we were there.We had about 25 people staying at Stillwater, with about 50 more friends coming on Sunday for the wedding, and Stillwater accommodated them all with ease. The whole house seems to consist of wonderful places to relax, porches and patios to catch up with friends, fireplaces, and fantastic kitchens to prepare and enjoy any possible food. Not to mention the wonderful grounds: grassy lawn, babbling stream, horse paddock, hiking trails, and hammocks. We even went tubing three times during our stay and it was wonderful.All watched over by Lynn, the on-site owner, and her staff, who were always available and helpful with every aspect from before we booked until the moment we left.We couldn't have picked a more perfect spot to celebrate our wedding, and we are already planning a reunion.

Perfect for all Ages!
This is by far the best rental property I have ever stayed in. There isn't a detail missed. The house is fully stocked with really everything you could need. Our group of 17 ranged in age from 18 months to 68 and there was something for everyone. There is a beautiful new playground area in the back that was perfect for the kids. Lynn is on site and eager to answer any questions or give suggestions of things to do. Plenty of hiking to do or tubing or pretty much any lawn game you could think of ( all provided at the house) We also enjoyed the new sound system throughout the house. There was so much space and privacy, we really felt at home here. We are already planning our next trip!

Wonderful Experience staying at this beautiful home
We had the best experience staying at this beautiful home. The home had everything! If we need a lighter, it was in a drawer labeled lighter. If we need a baking dish, it was in a cabinet labeled baking dishes. If we wanted to play cards, board games or other things, this house had all the games. We will come again and stay at this beautiful home again. Love it!!!!!!!!!!

Just wonderful!
We really enjoyed our family gathering at this house. Lynn has thought of everything! Seriously everything! There is nothing that you may need (other than food/drinks) that the places doesn't have. The house is great. Very clean and has a wonderful view of the river. Just walk few steps and the river is right there. I highly suggest this to all for big gatherings! We plan to go back for sure.

Amazing!
This house truly has so much to offer, anything you could possibly want or need is provided. The open sleeping arrangements somehow work as long as everyone is flexible. There are enough private rooms with doors for a few families to have their own space. We had an incredible time for my husband‘s surprise 40th birthday party .

Wonderful Host
We had a family reunion at the house and had a wonderful time. Lynn, the owner, was very responsive on any questions we had. She gave us great advise on what to do and where to eat. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Hope to come back again next year!

Pampered!
Lynn not only made our family feel welcome, she pampered us as well! We appreciated her help in moving in, her unique art collection in wood, spotless housekeeping, Dove soap "swimming" in lovely soap dishes, thick fluffy towels, comfy beds, labels and organization everywhere, and many, many games including an impressively deluxe ping pong table that stayed busy our whole visit. We enjoyed the beauty of nature at our doorstep as well as the indoor luxury!

Fantastic home with everything you need!
Fourteen of my family members enjoyed a long weekend together. This home has it all! Lots of large spaces for gatherings and enough space for everyone to have a comfortable bed and bathroom. The main kitchen (there's a kitchen on all three floors) was wonderfully stocked and all the drawers are labeled so finding the right pan was easy. We enjoyed watching the kayakers running the river and playing with Lynn's well behaved dogs. We spent a lot of time around the amazing fireplace and playing the many games that Lynn provided.
Lynn was easy to work with and was available to answer all of our questions while respecting our privacy. I would definitely come back and recommend this home to friends.

Awesome house for a group get away!
The house literally has EVERYTHING except for helium balloon air tanks, haha!! The house is equipped with wide range of games from corn hole, board games, volleyball! The kitchen is also equipped with all the cooking devices you need! The house even has a coffee station, so no need to bring your own coffee unless you are picky with the type of coffee you drink! She also has paper towels, cream, flour and sugar! The owner, Lynn is so nice and welcoming and shows you around the house when you arrive! She stays in a little cottage in the back of the house and is available if you have any questions, but does her own thing while you are on the property! This property is only 2 hours 45 minutes from Washington, DC and was the perfect weekend getaway with a group of 20 of my friends! There was plenty of space in the house for twenty people and did not feel crowded! All the beds are super comfortable! The house definitely can sleep more than 20 people if you had a group of 25 or so! We went hiking to fall hole which was a nice activity-it was a bit muddy on the trail so bring old shoes if going on the hike! You can also plan rafting trips as well, which Lynn can help direct you to where to book that if interested! I definitely recommend planning a big group gathering at this house-it has everything you need and I had a wonderful weekend at the house celebrating my birthday! I will be back again!

AMAZING!
Our group stayed at the Stillwater Haven for 2 Nights for our organization's anniversary celebration. Our stay was simply AMAZING!! The atmosphere was wonderful; comforting and more than relaxing. Lynn was a wonderful host and was always available and willing to provide the best possible experience for our group. She made sure we needed for absolutely nothing during our trip. We plan to stay again and will only be bringing ourselves, food and clothes. Everything else was generously provided!!! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely Amazing!! A beautiful location and home, with a warm friendly host!!
This home is absolutely beautiful. From the first instant inside, it feels like home, and it feels like the most beautiful well equipped home you've probably ever been in. Everything is clean, organized, and ready for use. The details are amazing, and it's clear the host (Lynn) has gone out of her way to make you stay the best it can be. Have you ever been in a rental with dozens of spices labelled and ready for use for anything you want to cook? Clearly Lynn's main goal is to make your stay wonderful. The house has a half dozen amazing locations to congregate. The fire downstairs will keep a large group warm, outside, at night even in freezing weather. The river is beautiful and rushing, the grounds are immaculate, and my stay was amazing. We had 10 people and there was an absurd amount of space. This house would be perfect for events probably as big at 25 people if you don't mind being close. Loved it. Can't recommend it enough!!
Cheers,
T. Brian Jones
