Hillary is a Star Host
Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences.
Looking for a personal retreat or get away ? Escape to our beautiful, RUSTIC 32 acre wild homestead / farm. A lovely balance between wild and tame.
We are 10 minutes from the Potomac River, 10 minutes from Opequon Creek, 20 from Antietam Creek and 30 minutes from the Shenandoah River. Harper's Ferry is 30 minutes way and downtown Historic Shepherdstown is just down the road.
We are also close to several state parks.
- What do we mean by "RUSTIC" ?
The camping experience we offer is about unplugging from the modern world , getting back to basics, slowing down and re-connecting with the land. Simply put, this is CAMPING .... not glamping. (Our Cosmic Cottage is also rustic, despite the amenities that come with it).
- CAMPSITES and TREEHOUSE - No electricity or wifi on the land. Campsites and TREEHOUSE are nestled in the woods. So although your vehicle will be parked within 50 ft or so from site, you cannot pull directly up to the site and get any closer because of the trees.
- SHOWER and PORTA POTTY - roughly a 5 minute or less walk from sites to shower and / or porta potty. Shower hours are 8 am- to 8 pm. The shower has hot and cold running water . You can drive to the shower if you need to.
- RESPONSE TIME - This is a working herb farm/ sanctuary and we so do not always have our phones on us. We will make every effort to respond to you within a few hours. Please be patient and you will receive a response.
-BOOKING - If you are interested in booking and / or availability, go to the HIPCAMP BOOKING CALENDAR and enter the dates you are interested in. for the most up to date accurate info on availability.
- Feel free to wander through the herb gardens, eat your meals in the garden pavilion (we have picnic tables there and hammocks), get your Zen on in the meditation hut , and stroll through the woodland medicine path where we grow endangered and at at risk plant plants. (heads up.. the woodland medicine path goes to seed by the Fall and is usually munched down by the deer by then, but is still a nice short stroll in the woods).
I loved staying here so much! I came at an odd time of year—end of November—but it was still so gorgeous and I can’t wait to come back in the spring to see things in bloom. The outdoor toilet was the nicest I’ve experienced, the shower worked well (and had a fun painting on the door), the Cosmic Cottage is adorable and cozy, and everyone I met was friendly and helpful. I definitely wish I’d managed to arrive before dusk, but the directions were good enough I still found it without much trouble. Two weeks felt like too short a stay!

Hillary is a great host, and everyone that lives on the grounds are good people. It’s such a caring environment and intentionally curated space. And when it dropped to 34 degrees, Hillary was more than accommodating to me and my son to move us to another site! Looking forward to staying in the tree house in the Summer time and reupping on my elixirs and tinctures 🙌🏽

The Cosmic Cottage was very easy to find and the instructions were very clear to get to the cottage. The handout had excellent local recommendations for food and activities. Overall a very beautiful and peaceful retreat location from hubbub of everyday life.

We loved the location and the feel of the entire "camp campus." Good amount of privacy, and the garden was great too! Bathroom and showers were clean which was great. We definitely may be coming back in the future.

My wife and I loved the treehouse at Sacred Roots! We spent one night here, enjoyed the grounds, listened to the birds and bugs, and enjoyed sleeping in the treehouse. The site was clean and welcoming. We even got a visit from the resident cat for about an hour. Hillary was a wonderful host and we’d love to return.
