About this property

Idyllic Cabin in Woods + Hiking + Street Fighter + PetFriendly + Wood Fire HT

Welcome to The Bear’s Lair—where fresh mountain air replaces notifications, and the only deadlines involve roasting marshmallows. Tucked away in the woods of Berkeley Springs, WV, this multi-level cabin is your perfect escape—just 10 minutes from downtown’s quirky boutiques, 11 minutes from Cacapon State Park, and 44 minutes from Whitetail Resort for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.

The main level is designed for effortless relaxation. The fully stocked kitchen makes meal prep a breeze, whether you're flipping pancakes or mixing après-ski cocktails. The cozy living room features an oversized sectional, a crackling woodstove, and a TV—perfect for movie nights or mid-day naps. Two queen bedrooms share a full bathroom with a shower and soaking tub, accessible from both the hallway and one of the bedrooms (because convenience matters).

Upstairs, retreat to the king-size ensuite, complete with a cozy reading nook for peaceful mornings. The loft space is ideal for puzzles, crafts, or remote work, featuring a play couch and a futon that converts into a double bed. A shared upstairs bathroom with dual access adds to the ease.

Downstairs, it’s all about fun. While there’s no bathroom on this level, you’ll hardly notice with shuffleboard, arcade games, foosball, and a mountain of board games at your fingertips. There’s also a bonus TV lounge with a small futon, plus a bedroom with two twin beds (which can be converted into a king—just let us know!).

Traveling with little cubs? We’ve got you covered with a portable crib, baby bathtub, high chair, booster seat, baby gates, step stool, and potty seat—because a happy kid means a happy vacation.

Step outside and let the adventure begin. Unwind in the outdoor sauna, gather around the fire pit, or challenge your crew with axe throwing, cornhole, or Tetris Tumble XL. The wood-fired hot tub—complete with firewood, a hose, and easy-to-follow instructions—is the ultimate way to soak under the stars. Enjoy outdoor dining at the picnic table, fire up the BBQ grill, or relax in the screened porch, where the only interruptions are birdsong and the occasional deer sighting.

As our guest, you’ll also have access to Coolfont Mountainside Association’s seasonal pool, hot tub, tennis and basketball courts, and nearby hiking trails. Four neighborhood pool-hot tub passes are included with your stay. Additional single-day passes are available for $15 each and must be pre-arranged with the property host.

At Cacapon State Park, explore the nature center, playground, scenic trails, and a sandy beach (cash-only admission).

Craving a dose of small-town charm? Head into town to browse Mischief candy shop, Inspired Chaos gift boutique, and cozy local coffee spots. Whether you're here to hike, ski, sauna, or simply do nothing at all, The Bear’s Lair is the perfect place to unplug—or not—and make legendary memories.

Excellent property

We had a great time! The property was just as described...the sauna and hot tub were so much fun! It was great not having to drag along so much for the kids--we had a two month old and a 20 month old. Everything was so clean and welcoming! We definitely will book again!

About the host

Hosted by Becca Isoldi

Host profile image
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.
