All About Berkeley Springs
Berkeley Springs is a town known for its thermal waters and natural spas in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia. Its most popular attraction, Berkeley Springs State Park, contains naturally warm mineral waters first popular with the Indigenous tribes in the area. The park houses what’s considered the country’s first spa, and the first US president was apparently a repeat visitor to its mineral baths. Today you’ll find a variety of rejuvenating services being offered here centered around the therapeutic waters. In the middle of the park stands the town’s oldest building, which now houses a 200-year-old Roman Bath House and the Museum of Berkeley Springs.
The compact downtown area features an array of independent shops, cafes, and local eateries. There are also a handful of art galleries, such as the Ice House Artist’s Co-op, which displays and sells the work of more than 30 local and regional artists.
Berkeley Springs is within 100-200 miles of many Mid-Atlantic cities, making it a convenient base for day trips to places like Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

When is the best time to stay in a vacation rental in Berkeley Springs?
Berkeley Springs experiences all four seasons to some degree, with summers getting hot but not sweltering, and winters becoming cold but not too frigid. Summer days are warm and humid, and this is the time to take advantage of the beach at Berkeley Springs State Park. The state park is also home to weekly free live music performances during July, August, and September. Fall brings cooler temperatures and colorful foliage, as well as the Apple Butter Festival, which takes place over a weekend in October and consists of a parade, games and contests, live music, and an arts and crafts fair.
Winters in Berkeley Springs are snowy and cold, and though daytime temperatures rarely go below freezing, nights can be icy, and you should be prepared with a hat, gloves, and a proper set of boots. Everything starts to thaw in spring, and outdoor concerts and art shows begin in earnest as the temperatures rise.
