About this property

River Cabin w/ Hot Tub, Screened Porch & Fire Pit

Summary:

Forest River Lodge is a secluded cabin nestled in the West Virginia mountains – just steps from the river – with everything you need for your getaway.



The highlights:

- Hang out in the large screened-in porch or around the fire pit

- Relax in the hot tub

- Grill on the spacious deck

- Enjoy fast, reliable Frontier Fiber

- 3 min drive (or pleasant walk) to private river access for swimming, fishing, & splashing around!

- Drive 20 mins into Berkeley Springs for amazing restaurants, shopping, & dozens of festivals



The Space:

Our family-friendly cabin is packed with amenities and fun for couples, families or small groups of friends.



The cabin includes:

- 2 bedrooms: one with a queen bed, and the other with a queen + twin bunk combo (3 beds total)

- Additional pull-out sofa in the main living room

- Fully-stocked kitchen with stove/oven and microwave

- Electric Wood stove to keep you cozy at night (plus baseboard heaters if you want to keep things easy)

- Fast, reliable Frontier Fiber — perfect for streaming your favorite shows or staying connected with video calls

- Outside fire pit with seating for the whole gang

- An outdoor yard game treasure box full of activities for kids and adults: cornhole, volleyball, soccer balls, horseshoes, and many more!



Our cabin also has private access to the Cacapon River, just a quick 15 min walk from the cabin. It’s perfect (especially on a hot day!) for swimming, fishing, or splashing around.



Our cabin is secluded, and without cell service. While we have fast and reliable Frontier Fiber, there will always be the rare Frontier Internet outage that is beyond our control. In that case, you'll truly be "off the grid," with no cell or Internet access. This is rare, but we do ask that you plan accordingly. Also, we have plenty of board games and outdoor games to enjoy!



Please be advised you have rented a mountainous property. AWD or 4X4 is recommended. The main and secondary roads are usually paved. However, there are many side roads that are gravel or hard-packed dirt surfaces. You may experience potholes, ruts, steep inclines, and rough terrain. Most front-wheel drive vehicles have no trouble accessing the property from these roads if you drive safely and slowly. We do not recommend low-profile vehicles such as sports cars or motorcycles. During inclement weather such as snow or ice, you may be required to have 4-wheel drive or tire chains. We also recommend Travel Insurance during the winter months. We do not give refunds for road conditions that are out of our control.



Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!



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).



Beyond the cabin itself, we love how close to Berkeley Springs (a 20 min drive away). Berkeley Springs has been voted one of the top arts communities in the US, and has fantastic breweries, restaurants, and shops for you to enjoy!

Clean and quiet cabin in the woods about 20 mins from Berkley Springs and 30 mins from Paw Paw. Hot tub was warm and worked well, great way to relax in the mornings or after hiking the Paw Paw tunnel trail or spending the day in Berkley Springs. Cabin is off the beaten path, so pack according for food and drink, but not secluded. You can see your neighbors and the gravel road runs by side of house where hot tub sits, though it is a road less traveled. You will need a vehicle that can haul kayaks to get to river. River is not by the cabin and river access for kayaks seemed to be even farther due to parking availability. The road to cabin is a steep uphill gravel road . Did it in an old 2000s sedan but was sketchy. Cabin is older so expect some imperfections and age related wear and tear but nicely furnished and decorated. Lots of stars at night and nice sun set view from deck. Gas grill is older and a bit rusty. We brought a cast iron griddle and used grill no issues. Owner very responsive and provided lots of information in advance.

The cabin was wonderful. We requested a late check out but no contact was made with us about the option even though it was offered to us. We would have loved a late check out. There were a few bug issues but nothing that effected our stay too much. We would definitely rent here again.

Spent a weekend and it was perfect! Private and cozy with a lot of outdoor things to do. Some insects but to be expected. Very clean and well kept. People in general were very nice in town. Very few things to eat so I would suggest bring stuff to cook since it has a full kitchen and all you need to cook.

It was a nice getaway. The location was great and easy to get into town. It was quiet and cozy and it was super easy to check in. We would love to go back in the fall and see the how beautiful it is that time of year.

Nice and cozy cabin

This cabin was just what we were looking for. Well furnished with comfy beds and sofas. Good selection of movies and games. Hot tub, grill, and firepit also a huge plus. One thing to keep in mind is the steep hill on the drive up. 4WD or AWD definitely recommended

Simple and great

An absolute amazing stay if you want to get away and live simply for some time. The property was clean and the communication was wonderful! We did have cell service through the wifi which I didn't expect and the wifi was actually really good, though we didn't need it. The hot tub was amazing and the host even confirmed the handyman checked it before our arrival. Venturing out, there are so many cool places to visit. We stay for a simple (away from a city) side of things and this was definitely one of our top three places we have stayed. I'd highly recommend.

Nice Cabin

The cabin was nice and generally clean. The main heat source was not working and when the property manager was told he said he would let his maintenance man know. We spent our time in the cabin in coats! It was COLD. I would expect an actual solution to the problem since we were there several days!

A fantastic get away

A small group of friends used this amazing space for our winter solstice get away. The cabin is indeed 'off the grid' meaning very little cell reception and no internet - which makes for a delightful retreat. We were able to enjoy the fire pit, gaze at the stars from the hot tub, and enjoy so much of the common space and kitchen. The space is very cozy and great for gatherings (too often livingrooms/common spaces feel like an afterthought in rentals). This was a really great space.

Relaxing at its finest!

The property was just as advertised and in wonderful condition. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend - kitchen appliances and supplies, bathroom toiletries, and movies and games galore! Even though it was winter, we got outside and enjoyed the screened in porch, firepit, and hot tub! It was a beautiful, short drive to Berkeley Springs where we ate a dinner, shopped, and reserved time at the Berkeley Springs Roman Bath House for a hot spring soak. My husband, two young boys, and our dog had a great getaway weekend!

Few days to unplug

Trip and host were great! No complaints, and looking forward to staying again! 4wd is recommended for the last 1/4 mile because it is steep and unpaved with several large rocks to clear or watch for as of March ‘23. Seeing the sunrise from the hot tub while listening to the woods wake up should be on your list of things to do. Berkley Springs Brewery is a nice spot with good selection. The other cabins in the community are far enough apart to have a sense of privacy while remaining visible.

Great value, great location

We stayed for a quick last minute getaway. Lots of value for the price. The house was well stocked with necesseties and mostly clean. It could use a more regular deep clean as the windwsills by the kids bed had old bugs, cobwebs on some decor and under the couch trundle bed was very dirty. There wasnt wifi and the number that was left for us couldnt be used on the house phone. None of this hindered our stay though. Hot tub was the reason we booked and very easy to use and enjoy. no neighbors on that side of the house. We had a fun time with all of the games movies and puzzles. Would definitely stay again!

Great getaway - As described.

Had a great visit to the cabin and Toni was a great host. I was seeking a secluded cabin with a clean hot tub/firepit and that’s what I found. The host was great about expectations… you absolutely need a suv or Awd to maneuver the hill driveway in the winter but it’s so worth it. No wifi and no cell service, it was fantastic to disconnect. The advice to arrive with groceries and firewood was a must follow. Comfortable bed. There is another cabin the property looks down on but that’s to be expected. Really only noticed them when they were loud or in their hot tub but overall the property was so silent! If you’re seeking solitude, nature and stargazing… this is a great choice. Special note book a Roman bath in Berkeley Springs. Absolutely amazing.

About the host

Hosted by Tony Cappaert

Host profile image
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 River Lodge in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
