Five years ago, we made a significant life change by moving to a more rural area outside of Washington, DC. We were excited to raise our three children as a happy blended family. We committed to becoming hobby farmers who would not only live off our land but also give back to our community in simple yet impactful ways. Greener Pastures Family Farm was a wonderful experience. During our time there, we hosted hundreds of guests across five different accommodations, including a tiny house, a bell tent, a barn, a cottage, and a farmhouse, all of which warmed my heart beyond measure. Now, my son and I happily manage our Mountain Lake Retreat while continuing our hobby farming efforts on our new City Farm, not far from the retreat. In addition to caring for our city farm and lake retreat, we volunteer with local animal groups and actively help take care of the aging population in our mountain lake community. We host small intimate wedding ceremonies and elopements at our farm as well. Feel free to ask us about purchasing our local honey and chicken eggs during your stay! Hosting and farming have rewarded us in deeply satisfying ways. We are dedicated to helping build agritourism in rural, historic, and outdoor adventure filled areas such as Harpers Ferry by providing a wonderful place to stay. We warmly welcome anyone seeking a retreat from their daily lives, whether it’s with family, a significant other, or friends with the goal for solitude, romance, or endless outdoor activities. The mountainous beauty of West Virginia, along with its surrounding historical locations, is ready to be enjoyed by you and your guests. We are just a quick message away and spend much of my free time paddle boarding on the lake or enjoying quality time lakeside at the Mountain Lake Club!

The Mountain Lake Retreat is part of a once exclusive, invitation-only mountain retreat community. At one time, the heart of the community was a 50-room log-style lodge that was tragically lost in a fire decades ago. Since then, a new building has been constructed and recently renovated by two wonderful owners, Matt and Jeff. They have dedicated their time and resources to revitalizing the lake community and love meeting the guests of the Mountain Lake Retreat! Your stay is just a few minutes' walk from the Mountain Lake Club, which features a restaurant, bar, sandy beach, swimming area, fishing, and other water sports. Shannondale Lake is an 80-acre body of water nestled in the beautiful crevices of the West Virginia mountains. During your visit, you can enjoy various activities on the lake, including kayak, canoe, paddle boat, and paddle board rentals. The beach and swimming area offer a refreshing place to relax and unwind. In the winter, the restaurant and bar remain open and host an exciting karaoke night each weekend, along with a variety of musical entertainment and special events throughout the year. This neighborhood is perfect for walking, running, and biking. It truly is Wild and Wonderful! We look forward to seeing you soon in the misty mountains of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, at Shannondale Lake.
