About this property
Woodland Sauna + Arcade, Minutes to Town.
The Bear’s Lair is a woodland cabin in Berkeley Springs, WV, perfect for families, friends, or a fun Friendsgiving getaway. Start your mornings with coffee on the screened porch as deer pass by and end your evenings around the fire pit under the stars.
The main floor features two queen bedrooms (one with an ensuite bath including a soaking tub and walk-in shower) and accessibility-friendly details like lever handles and blackout shades. Upstairs, the king bedroom has a reading nook and shares a full bathroom. A loft area with a futon, play couch, and desk offers space for games, crafts, or work.
Downstairs is all about fun: challenge your group to classic Pac-Man and Street Fighter II battles in the arcade room, or play shuffleboard, foosball, and board games. There’s also a twin bedroom that converts to a king if needed (no bathroom on this level).
Families with little ones will appreciate the provided crib, high chair, booster seat, baby gates, step stool, potty seat, and baby bathtub.
Outside, enjoy the wood-fired hot tub (firewood included), an outdoor sauna, axe throwing, cornhole, and giant Tetris Tumble. Relax on the deck, grill, or unwind in the screened porch surrounded by forest sounds.
Guests get seasonal access to Coolfont Mountainside hiking trails.
Nearby attractions include Cacapon State Park (hiking, golf, beach, nature center) and downtown Berkeley Springs with shops, cafes, and local charm.
Accessibility: There are 9 steps to enter, but the main floor is designed to accommodate guests of all ages and abilities with accessible bathrooms and thoughtful features.
Whether you’re competing in arcade games, relaxing in the sauna, or enjoying the fire pit, The Bear’s Lair offers a perfect balance of fun and relaxation for your next getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Becca Isoldi
We’re a family of four from a Virginia suburb of Washington, DC—me, a middle school teacher, and my husband, a computer programmer. We love traveling off the beaten path and discovering the hidden gems that locals cherish. When we find ourselves in popular tourist cities, we always venture beyond the typical attractions to explore the neighborhoods that fly under the radar. Food, culture, and adventure are at the heart of our travels, and we strike a balance between savoring each moment and seeing as much as we can. We bought our charming cabin as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and we make the most of it whenever we can (which, if you’re familiar with youth sports schedules, you know is a bit of a juggling act!). We also love hosting friends and family, giving them the chance to experience the peaceful beauty of a West Virginia getaway.
Why they chose this property
We love the neighborhood because it’s tucked away like a secret hideaway—without the risk of being stranded in the middle of nowhere. Just 10 minutes in one direction, and we can grab a coffee downtown or take a quick dip in the springs. Head the other way, and we’re equally close to epic hiking trails. And, of course, just a block down the street, there’s a pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts—because, really, why not?
What makes this property unique
The cabin itself is nestled in a forest where every season brings its own majestic transformation. Inside, the beds are fit for Goldilocks—*not* too soft, *not* too hard, but just right for a perfect night’s sleep. And if you’re planning a getaway with friends, the fully stocked kitchen is ideal for cooking up a memorable Friendsgiving feast. When we get bored of the house amenities (though, honestly, who would?), there’s always something fun to do—whether it’s starting the day with a sauna, battling it out in a Street Fighter tournament, or sinking into a plush sectional with a good book. It’s the perfect mix of tranquility and excitement.
