About this property

Tiny House / Log Cabin in beautiful wooded urban setting

What started out as a project to make use of leftover logs from our log home turned into a tiny house! Cozy Log Cabin looking out on almost an acre of nature but just minutes from all the DC sites. Perfect for a single escape, a romantic getaway, a small family/group gathering, or a serene remote work location. 1/4 mile to bus and 1.5 miles to DC metro, plenty of free parking. We live in a log home next door - so happy to provide advice on sites/restaurants and directions. Sorry, no PPP (pets, parties, or puffing) :-)

The property is on .91 acres of land full of trees, creeks, deer, an occasional fox, and lots of birds - yet just 15 minute drive to DC and close to all the amenities, shopping, restaurants, movies, mini-golf, and of course the Nation's Capital!

Check-in: pull into the gravel driveway to the right of the main log home; door will be open; keys on the dining table. Please send us a note when you check in and when you check out. Also, if you are going to use the pull-out sofa, please select extra person - this will cover the extra cleaning cost. Thank you!

A Cozy Place to Stay in Falls Church

I greatly enjoyed my stay here. My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary and this was a perfect setting. The location is ideal for taking the metro to Washington and is also close to many other attractions such as Great Falls Park and the Pentagon City Mall. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend this cozy tiny cabin.

Nice place near DC

Very clean and cozy cabin, near DC. Very comfortable. The toilet in the shower is a bit weird, but it's not a big issue for a few days' stay. Would stay here again.

Perfect cozy cabin

This cute clean cabin was the perfect place to stay overnight to see a concert at George Mason University. The log walls made this an exceptionally quiet accommodation near a bustling town.

Beautiful, worth it, book now! But read the fine print...

This place is amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and got to experience perfect spring weather with beautiful skies and relaxation, along with a thunderstorm with lightning and rain. It was wonderful. The house is small, understand that, but the secluded feel and back deck are worth it. And the location is great.WE WOULD STAY AGAIN.The fine print... the upstairs bed is a full size, which I didn't realize... I may not have booked because of this, but I'm glad we stayed nonetheless and I would stay again.It takes a couple of days to figure out where to keep things, how to navigate around the space, and how to live in a tiny house, but once you get the hang of it it's great! NOTE: the steps from the parking to the house are not the easiest, they are stepping stones that are spaced non uniformly, so it's a journey at night or during rain. Just FYI.ALSO, once again the bed is a full size, and it's in the loft so it's a snug fit up there. But the feeling of being in a forest on the back deck makes up for these things and then some. What a unique little house to call home while visiting this area. Well worth it!

Great little cabin

Beautifully detailed wood interior. One quirk is the combination bathroom/toilet/shower, but it works and is a clever solution when space is at a premium.

Tiny cottage in Falls Church

Great location and great hosts. Note: toilet and shower are in same room. Cottage has a lovely deck and in a very quiet woodsy location but super close to the Metro, shopping and great restaurants. Cottage is very compact. Appropriate for single or couple who don’t mind climbing steps to the bedroom loft.

Girls’ trip

The cabin was a fun, unique place to stay for a 2- night get-away with girlfriends. We had everything we needed. Spent lots of time on the back deck in serene woodsy setting. Host was very friendly and accomodating. It was a good location for a Wolftrap show!

About the host

Hosted by Tommy

Host profile image
I'm originally from Kentucky and I suppose I grew up with Abe - loving log cabins my whole life. My wife Sheryl is from the Philippines and we have three crazy wonderful kids. Our Tiny Log Cabin sits off in the woods, just near a small creek that runs through our property. A deer family and an occasional fox make their home in our place, along with a lovely cardinal couple and a blue jay who likes to keep them company.

Why they chose this property

Our home is in the quiet Lake Barcroft area - which is just outside the hustle and bustle of Arlington - yet only a 15 minute drive to DC.

What makes this property unique

There are not too many log cabins in Washington DC :-) which is why we love it.
