The Space:

Cool mountain air drifts through the trees as you step onto the porch, the quiet broken only by the soft rustle of leaves. The scent of pine mixes with the faint smoke from the fire pit, inviting you to unwind after a day on the trails. Inside, the glow of the indoor fireplace draws you to the open living area where a Smart TV waits for a cozy movie night. As night falls, the hot tub steams invitingly, offering a warm soak under a clear West Virginia sky.

Two private bedrooms accommodate up to four guests. The main‑level bedroom features a king bed, while the upper‑level bedroom offers a queen bed. A full bathroom serves both rooms, providing convenient access for couples, families, or a small group.

Outdoor living

The year‑round hot tub is especially soothing on chilly evenings, while a BBQ grill offers the option to grill when the weather permits. Comfortable outdoor seating lets you soak in the scenery at any time.

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. :)
