About this property
River Cabin w/Great Views, 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
- Grill on the spacious deck
- Fast Fiber Optic WiFi
- 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
- Wood stove to keep you cozy at night (plus baseboard heaters if you want to keep things easy)
- Fast fiber optic WiFi for streaming or taking 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. We love disconnecting from the world while we're there and putting away our smart phones, but please plan accordingly. That said, 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.
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!

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