About this property
Cozy chalet w/hot tub & fire pit
Summary:
Discover Forest Haven, a tranquil mountain chalet tucked away on a private road in West Virginia, where the forest’s hush and crisp air invite you to unwind and reconnect.
- Sleeps 4 | 2 bedrooms | 2 beds | 1 bath
- Private hot tub & fire pit for cozy winter evenings
- Spacious deck w/ BBQ grill & forest views
- Full kitchen, TV w/ Roku & fast WiFi
- Dedicated workspace in private room; heating & window AC
- Pet-friendly
The Space:
Snow-dusted trees line the private road as you pull up to Forest Haven, and the crisp mountain air greets you with a quiet promise of rest. Tall east‑facing windows spill soft winter light across the loft‑style chalet, while the scent of pine lingers in every breath. After a day of trail‑side exploration, steam rises from the private hot tub and the fire pit glows, inviting you to unwind under a canopy of stars.
Sleeping arrangements
Two bedrooms each hold a queen bed, dressed with fresh linens, extra pillows, and blankets for cozy mountain nights. The shared bathroom offers a clean, functional space for your group of up to four guests.
Kitchen & dining
A full kitchen provides everything you need for a relaxed breakfast before a hike or a hearty dinner after a day outdoors. A dining area opens onto the spacious deck, making it easy to keep conversation flowing while meals are prepared.
Outdoor living
Step onto the deck to feel the forest surround you. A BBQ grill stands ready for casual meals, and a collection of yard games invites friendly competition for kids and adults alike. The private hot tub offers soothing warmth, and the fire pit creates a perfect gathering spot for winter evenings. The backyard is open and not fully fenced, so keep an eye on pets and children. Free on‑site parking is available.
Work & comfort
A dedicated workspace in a separate room with its own door lets you focus when needed, while fast WiFi and a Roku‑enabled TV keep you connected and entertained. Heating maintains a comfortable temperature during colder months, and window AC is available for warmer days.
Location
Forest Haven sits in Gerrardstown, a short drive from Berkeley Springs’ shops and restaurants, the historic river adventures of Harpers Ferry, and Winchester’s breweries and wineries. Nearby hiking trails provide year‑round access to the surrounding landscape, whether you seek a brisk winter trek or a gentle spring walk.
Perfect for
Pet‑friendly families, couples, or small groups of friends who want a quiet mountain retreat with space to relax, work, and play. Dogs are welcome; cats are not allowed due to allergies.
Notes
An indoor fireplace is present but currently decorative only. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, though you may still notice leaves, pollen, or similar natural traces during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature leaves its gentle mark.

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 Forest Haven in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cabin is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
