The Space:

Cool mountain air drifts through the trees as you step onto the porch, the quiet broken only by the rustle of leaves and distant bird calls. Inside, the glow of the indoor fireplace invites you to unwind while the Smart TV offers a cozy backdrop for movie nights. After a day on the trails, the hot tub steams invitingly under a crisp West Virginia sky, and the fire pit crackles with the promise of s’mores.

Living space

The bright, two‑story living area flows effortlessly from the open loft to the seating zone around the indoor fireplace. Comfortable sofas and chairs make board games, quiet conversations, or streaming a show on the Smart TV feel natural. Central heating keeps the space warm throughout the colder months, creating a welcoming atmosphere after time spent outdoors.

Outdoor living

Step onto the spacious deck and patio, where string lighting adds a soft glow after sunset. The fire pit offers a gathering spot for storytelling and toasted marshmallows, while the year‑round hot tub beckons for a soak under the stars. An outdoor seating area and BBQ grill let you enjoy the mountain scenery whenever the weather permits.



Family & pet‑friendly touches

We loved our stay here. Very quiet, pretty setting, great hot tub, comfy couch for relaxing. Keep in mind that the road to the house is gravel and very bumpy. Also note that the water has a strong sulfur smell, if you are sensitive to scents. Definitely recommend at stay here for a mountain weekend!

About the host

Host profile image

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.

What makes this property unique

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 Red Feather Cottage in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cottage is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
