Cabin w/hot tub, fire pit & pet-friendly
Summary:
Escape to River Birch Cabin, a cozy woodland retreat where crisp air, forest views, and a soothing hot tub set the tone for relaxed days and evenings by the fire.
- Sleeps 6 | 2 bedrooms | 4 beds | 1 bath
- Private hot tub – year‑round soak
- Fire pit by stream – evenings outdoors
- Wood‑burning stove & central heat
- High‑speed WiFi & dedicated workspace
- Pet‑friendly cabin in peaceful woods
The Space:
Snow-dusted woods hush the landscape as steam curls from the private hot tub, inviting you to unwind under a canopy of stars. Inside, the glow of a wood‑burning stove spreads warmth across the living room, while the sound of the nearby stream adds a gentle rhythm to your evening. You can breathe in crisp forest air, hear leaves rustle, and feel the quiet of the Lost River Valley settle around you, making each moment feel deliberately slow and soothing.
Sleeping arrangements
- Bedroom 1: queen bed
- Bedroom 2: twin bunk bed
- Living room: pull‑out couch for additional guests
- Sleeps up to six guests; full bathroom with bathtub and bathroom essentials
Living space
The main area offers comfortable seating, a TV for streaming, and central heat that keeps the cabin cozy year‑round. Large windows frame forest views, and high‑speed WiFi supports video calls or remote work from a dedicated workspace in the common area.
Kitchen & dining
A fully equipped kitchen opens to the living space, making it easy to prepare hearty meals after a day on the trails or to brew coffee on a quiet morning. The open layout encourages gathering around the counter for conversation and shared meals.
Outdoor living
Step onto the covered front porch or into the private backyard to soak in the hot tub, a year‑round retreat after a crisp hike. A fire pit sits beside the stream, perfect for evening fires and s’mores under the night sky. Free parking and a lockbox self‑check‑in provide a seamless arrival.
Neighborhood
River Birch Cabin sits in the woods of Mathias, West Virginia, a short drive from downtown Lost River’s small shops and local flavor. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding landscape, offering quiet paths in winter and vibrant scenery in other seasons.
Perfect for
Pet‑friendly and family‑oriented, the cabin welcomes dogs and is ideal for groups seeking a peaceful retreat, a cozy base for winter hiking, or a comfortable space to work remotely while reconnecting with nature. Cats are not allowed due to allergies.

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