Canal Cabins

After walking(!) 30+ miles on the C&O trail from Hancock, MD, this place was an absolute haven. They already had the space heater going in the cabin when I arrived, the water for the shower in the bathhouse was hot(!), and there was a microwave, fridge, and water filter w/ hot & cold water in the cabin, so I was able to make my cup ramen and store the beer that I bought at the corner gas station on the way in because I knew I wouldn’t even be able to make it to the one restaurant in town. The bed was luxurious. They provide towels, cups, coffee and creamer, and the French press. Everything immaculately maintained. I’m only sad I didn’t get the bus cabin, because it was already booked.

I was not prepared for how much our group of 6 cyclists would love these cabins. They look like little portable storage units, but the inside is beautiful with great attention to detail. The porch was big enough to park our bikes. The cabins were spotless as was the detached shower house/bathroom which is steps away from the cabin. Whoever cleans these does a great job. The french press works great for coffee and there is a water cooler in the cabin. We used the heater which quickly warmed the cabin. (It had rained all day cycling so the first thing we used was the bike/people wash.) Also made use of the laundry...much appreciated! Had a great meal with super friendly people at the American Legion. Paw Paw turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip!
