About this property
Chalet w/hot tub & fire pit
Summary:
Escape to Forest Haven, a cozy mountain chalet tucked away on a private road in West Virginia’s quiet woods—perfect for relaxing, recharging, and enjoying nature together on a spacious deck with forest views.
- Sleeps 4 | 2 bedrooms | 2 beds | 1 bath
- Private hot tub & fire pit for cozy evenings
- Spacious deck w/ BBQ grill & forest setting
- Full kitchen, TV w/ Roku & fast WiFi
- Dedicated workspace in a private room
- Pet-friendly cabin
The Space:
Snow-dusted trees sway gently as you pull up the private road, and the crisp mountain air greets you before you step onto the porch. Tall east‑facing windows frame the forest, letting soft winter light spill across the loft‑style cabin, while the scent of pine lingers in every breath. After a day of exploring the trails, steam rises from the private hot tub and the fire pit glows, inviting you to unwind under a sky full of stars.
Sleeping arrangements
- Two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, dressed in fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets for cozy mountain nights.
Kitchen & dining
- A full kitchen equipped for everyday cooking, from quiet breakfasts to relaxed dinners, opens onto the living area for easy conversation.
- A spacious deck features a BBQ grill, perfect for al fresco meals while the forest provides a natural backdrop.
Outdoor living
- Private hot tub offers a warm soak after outdoor adventures, with the surrounding woods adding a tranquil soundtrack.
- Fire pit creates a comfortable gathering spot for evenings, and a selection of yard games is available for both kids and adults.
- Free on‑site parking and an open backyard give you room to stretch out, though the area is not fully fenced.
Work & comfort
- Dedicated workspace in a separate room with a door ensures privacy when you need to focus.
- Fast WiFi and a TV with Roku keep you connected and entertained.
- Heating maintains a snug interior during colder months, while window AC is ready for warmer days.
Location
- Nestled in Gerrardstown, the cabin is a short drive from Berkeley Springs’ shops and restaurants, historic Harpers Ferry, and Winchester’s dining, breweries, and wineries.
- Numerous hiking trails wind nearby, offering year‑round opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape.
Pet‑friendly cabin
- Dogs are welcome to share the mountain retreat; cats are not allowed due to allergies.
Perfect for
- Couples seeking a quiet escape, families looking to unplug together, or friends wanting a relaxed mountain base with space to unwind.
The indoor fireplace adds a decorative touch to the living area, though it is not functional. The natural setting means you may notice occasional leaves or pollen, especially in certain seasons, but the deck, stairs, and walkways are swept before each arrival.

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 Forest Haven in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
