The Space:
Steam curls from the private hot tub as the sun dips behind snow‑dusted trees, while the wood‑burning stove casts a warm amber glow across the living room. The sound of the nearby stream blends with the hush of the forest, inviting you to slow down and breathe in the crisp air. Inside, large windows frame ever‑changing views of the Lost River Valley, offering a quiet backdrop for work or relaxation. Each evening ends with the crackle of the fire pit by the water, perfect for s’mores under a sky full of stars.
Sleeping arrangements
The cabin sleeps up to six guests. One bedroom holds a queen bed, and the second bedroom features a twin bunk bed. A pull‑out couch in the living area provides additional sleeping space without crowding the room. A full bathroom with a bathtub and bathroom essentials serves the home.

Outdoor living
Step onto the covered front porch or into the private backyard to soak in the hot tub, a year‑round retreat after a crisp day outdoors. The fire pit sits beside the stream, ideal for evening fires and stargazing. Free parking and a lockbox for self check‑in provide a smooth arrival.

We loved our stay here! The cabin was clean and cozy and looked just like the photos. The hot tub was clean and ready to go. There is a nice yard and the road is quiet so our dog was off leash most of the week with no issues. The neighbors were so nice, multiple people stopped to talk to us when we were hanging out on the front porch. We didn’t hear back from the owner for about a week when we initially reached out (before the trip) but communication was quick and thorough every time after that. Highly recommend.

Thanks again for staying with us. We'd love to welcome you back anytime :)
We stayed at the River access cabin for 5 nights with our 2 doggies and had such a nice time. The absence of traffic noise at night time while listening to whippoor wills was glorious. We enjoyed Bob fires, hot tubbing, lazy days at the lake in the trout pond recreational area and a hike to Cranny Crow overlook in Lost River State Park. We took some adorable #almostheaven photos on the swing at the top.
The cabin is well appointed with various cookware, WiFi and a smart tv which we never used. The air conditioner works well and was a blessing as we arrived for a week of over 90* days. I had hoped to get some stellar stargazing in with my new telescope but the nights were not cooperative. We couldn’t bring our suv due to car trouble but we were able to access the property with my little Nissan Sentra. That said, something with more ground clearance and more horsepower would have been ideal for the steep gravel roads.

Had a nice stay at Tony's cabin. kids ran around the yard and visited the creek. We took advantage of the games and fire pit. the cabin is a bit remote, but enjoyed every minute. good communication and high value.
a relaxing weekend getaway for my spouse and I, we really enjoyed the grill and hot tub, the Adirondack chairs by the fire were really great. The cabin itself is updated and super clean. The cabin is a bit remote, but that was the allure!
Rustic chic cabin/cottage in the woods with hot tub and fire pit
We had a great time at this cabin with our teen kids. we bbq'd, watched movies, and used the hot tub. Tony was a gracious host and communication was great. We had lots of questions and they answered all of them.
Thanks again for staying with us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime. :)
About the host
Hosted by Tony Cappaert
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.
Why they chose this property
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 River Birch Cabin in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
