About this property
Log Cabin w Loft, Hot Tub, Deck, Fire Pit, & WiFi
Summary:
Wildcat Retreat is a cozy cabin nestled in the West Virginia mountains, with everything you need for your getaway.
The highlights:
- Grill on our huge deck
- Relax in the outdoor hot tub!
- Hang out and roast s’mores around our fire pit
- Warm yourself by the living room stone fireplace
- Relax in our jacuzzi spa tub
- Drive 20 mins into Berkeley Springs for amazing restaurants, shopping, and dozens of festivals.
Enjoy!
The Space:
Our family-friendly cabin is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or small groups of friends.
The cabin includes:
- One bedroom + a loft sleeping area (three beds total + daybed)
- A huge wrap-around deck with a propane grill
- Spa tub with jets in the main bathroom
- Outdoor hot tub perfect for relaxing
- Large stone fireplace in the living room to keep you cozy at night
- Central AC and heat (so you’re always comfortable!)
- Fully-stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, stove/oven, and microwave
- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang
We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).
Two things to note: 1) the tap water often has a yellow/light brown appearance due to high minerality levels -- specifically iron and manganese. We’ve had the pipes/well inspected and there’s nothing wrong with them; the presence of iron/manganese is normal in this area, and the water is perfectly safe to drink (although it can occasionally have a slight sulfur smell). That said, we have a Brita pitcher with filters we regularly change that you can use; it’s on the kitchen counter near the sink. We also recommend bringing bottled water. 2) This cabin has a wood-burning fireplace and stove that add to its coziness. We recommend you bring your own firewood to enjoy! Also, it's common for a smoky smell to linger in the wooden-interior cabin after use.
Beyond the cabin itself, we love how close to everything we are -- particularly the Great Cacapon River and Berkeley Springs. The Great Cacapon is fantastic for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing throughout the year. And the town of Berkeley Springs has been voted one of the top arts communities in the US; the shopping, spa, and restaurant scene does not disappoint!

About the host
Hosted by Tony Cappaert

I live in DC with my wife and three young kids. I love camping/hiking, drinking (and sometimes brewing) great beer and wine, exploring new restaurants and shops, and traveling all over.
Why they chose this property
We spent years searching for the perfect getaway, and wanted to be close enough to DC that we could do a day trip. We fell in love with the area – and Wildcat Retreat in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
