About this property

The Red Dog Chalet Couples Retreat w/ Hot Tub

Private parking area with a beautiful covered lighted walking bridge that leads you to the Red Dog Chalet. A beautiful couples getaway with a spiral staircase leading you to the 2nd story covered porch areas with a wraparound walking deck. A 2nd story outdoor hammock off the covered porch. Relax in the 2 person copper tub and get some rest in the loft bedroom.
Relax underneath in the beautiful large bed swing or in the 2 person hot tub. Private outdoor shower underneath as well.

Enjoy the large 12x12 outdoor hammock in the front yard area and build a fire in the large outdoor firepit area.

If you are going to enjoy riding the trails, you are half mile from the Buffalo Mountain trailhead location and 4 miles from downtown Williamson for dinner. Within those 4 miles, there are 3 other trail numbers you will pass and another in town.

You are 15 minutes away from the historic Matewan, WV where the famous Hatfield McCoy feud took place. There is a Hatfield McCoy museum in town as well. While your there, enjoy the airboat tour on the river which is amazing then grab lunch or dinner at Trailhead Bar & Grill.

This was such a beautiful and amazingly well put together retreat! It was just what we needed to reset for a couple of days. The bath tub was wonderful, and every little touch made this place perfect. The hosts The Cool’s were great people and so refreshing to work with. Shawn gave us so many recommendations and was very accommodating during our entire stay! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place. Super nice people with great communication but they won't bug you and do give you your privacy. Great location to trails for riding. Dog did not like spiral stairs so we did have to carry him in and out but otherwise he loved it too.

My husband and I loved our stay at the Red Dog Chalet!!! We don't get away too often and this is more than we could have asked for. The owners really did think of everything to make your stay feel like home. We were glad to be so close to the trails that we could ride in/ride out. We will be back!!!

For starters shawn is awesome. He accommodated Us in every way possible. He took the time to send us all different locations for the activities we wanted different things in the area just went far above and beyond investing time from his own personal life to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Even went is so far as to let us use his personal property to house our dirt bikes so that place for them. By far this is the most beautiful place I've ever rented on the internet. The way it is set up it feels like it's in a little Resort right off the road in the back of the mountains. If you're going to just relax and get away you don't even have to leave it's absolutely beautiful. I will say that if you're not going to either ride motorcycles or ATVs or just go to relax and get away there might not be much to do just because it is a small mining town so outside of those things there wasn't much for us to do but there are things like a grocery store and Walmart that are in close proximity which is pretty convenient. We are from Baltimore so it was a 7-hour trip but I can't really think of a better place to just relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The place is clean it's very well maintained I really don't have anything negative to say whatsoever. It was so nice in fact that when I got home my dog seemed to be depressed because she was so used to just laying around outside and running around the property LOL. Great experience. Thank you Shawn we will be back!

Wow from the moment we arrived, I felt an immediate sense of peace and comfort. This place has a warmth that can’t be created by décor alone—it’s clear that a lot of care, intention, and kindness have gone into every corner of it. Everything was so clean, private, & location was great! House was super close to trails and a couple little towns. Communication with the host was great! They made us feel well taken care of and welcomed. It felt a lot less like a rental and more like being a guest in someone’s cherished retreat. Looking forward to returning one day! Thank you to Shawn and Tonya!

Cute and convenient

Lovely chalet on well maintained property. The furnishings are comfortable, and the place is quiet. It was warm during my visit so we didn’t take advantage of the hot tub or fire pit. Overall very nice place to stay.A few personal quirks: While I would have liked a shower upstairs (in the chalet), the copper tub is a unique experience. The stairs to the loft were steeper than I expected, but plenty of handles. The LEDs on the AC units are incredibly bright, which was a bit annoying at night.

Not for 65+

The Check-in process was a breeze the owners were a delight Extremely clean and great location. However in the elevated cottage the bed it's approximately 10 feet up from the main floor which involves climbing a ladder and if you need the restroom it's a 10 foot climb down in the dark my wife rolled her ankle coming down the latter and we had to leave early Only other thing wish to shower was in the unit itself otherwise very nice place

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Cool

Host profile image

My wife and I have been married since 2013. We purchased 2 acres of land to start building our home together. Working full time then building in the evenings and weekends.

Over the years, we have built our barn which you can see from the cottage. Our red golden retriever loves the barn which we use as our workshop so that's how Red Dog Barn got its name.

In the summer of 2021, we wanted to create a place for people to enjoy and feel at home, which is our beautiful Red Dog Cottage that opened April 2022.

In the summer of 2022, we wanted to create a couples retreat built like a two story treehouse. A beautiful chalet for anyone to come and enjoy their stay.

We hope everyone will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Every time we travel, my wife is always looking for a place that is different from anything else. This is how this chalet was created... From the outside and inside spiral staircase; private wooded outdoor shower area; covered porches; outdoor dining area; outdoor hammock is absolutely beautiful at night with the wooded area surrounding you and the rope lighting makes it perfect. Free WIFI with enough channels to keep you busy if you decide to stay in and just relax.

What makes this property unique

Going into this project, my wife said, we are going to build to place that I would want to stay in. We put our heart & soul into this chalet and our cottage. We want every guest to feel welcome and at home. Adding the covered lighted walking bridge over to the property.
