About this property

The Red Dog Cottage In The Woods w/ Hot Tub

Park in our private pull thru parking area and walk over the beautiful covered lighted walking bridge that leads you to the cottage. We wanted to create a place for our guest to enjoy; relax & feel at home. A queen size downstairs bedroom; queen size upstairs loft bedroom; full size kitchen; dining area; full bath with walk in shower; TV/WIFI; wraparound covered porch; private outdoor shower against hillside; private hillside two person hot tub with covered roof; indoor loft hammock; outdoor covered back porch dining area; outdoor hammock. 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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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.

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 it name.

Last year, we wanted to create a place for people to enjoy and feel at home. We started in the late summer of 2021. We worked through the winter months to have the Red Dog Cottage ready for people to stay by Spring.

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 our cottage was created... We have built it and put our hearts into a place that we would love to stay at. Our indoor loft hammock; spiral staircase; private wooded outdoor shower area; wrap around 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

What is unique? We love it because you have two entryways for private parking. Beautiful 30ft lighted walking bridge over a stream leading you to the cottage. We want our guests to open the door and say WOW!!
