About this property

2BR chalet w/ hot tub, porch & refreshing views

Summary:

Welcome to River Birch Cabin, a cozy woodland retreat designed for slow mornings & crisp air. Tucked into the woods of Mathias, this newly-renovated cabin offers comfort, privacy, and space to unwind year-round.

- Private hot tub for relaxing any season

- Wood-burning stove & central heat

- High-speed WiFi + dedicated workspace

- Pet-friendly cabin in a peaceful wooded setting



The Space:

Woods hush the landscape, and steam curls gently from the hot tub as evening settles in. This is a place where nights feel cozy and unhurried, and mornings begin with forest views and the sound of water flowing just beyond the trees.



About the cabin

River Birch is a newly-renovated cabin tucked into the woods of Mathias, West Virginia, offering a comfortable retreat with the conveniences of home. Designed for couples, families, or small groups, the cabin blends country living with thoughtful updates, making it easy to relax after a day outdoors or a quiet afternoon inside.



Sleeping arrangements

The cabin sleeps up to six guests across two bedrooms and a pull-out couch in the living room. One bedroom features a queen bed, while the second has a twin bunk bed. The pull-out couch provides additional sleeping space without crowding the living area. A full bathroom with a bathtub and bathroom essentials serves the home.



Living space

The main living area is set up for unwinding during cooler months, with comfortable seating & a TV for streaming. Large windows bring in natural light and forest views, even on overcast days. Central heating keeps the cabin comfortable throughout the season, and WiFi supports streaming, video calls, or remote work. A dedicated workspace is available in a common area.



Kitchen and dining

The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals at home, whether you are cooking a hearty dinner after hiking or brewing coffee on a quiet morning. The open layout keeps the kitchen connected to the rest of the living space, making it easy to gather and spend time together indoors when the weather turns cold.



Outdoor setting

Step outside to enjoy the private hot tub, a favorite year-round feature after a crisp day outdoors. The covered front porch and private backyard offer space to take in the wooded setting. Free parking on the premises and a private entrance make arrivals simple, with self check-in via lockbox.



The area

River Birch is a short drive from downtown Lost River, where you will find small shops and local flavor, and within easy reach of hiking trails throughout the area.



Pet Policy

We’re happy to welcome dogs to join you on your getaway! Please note that due to allergies, we’re unable to accommodate cats. A $29 pet fee applies per furry friend, per night to help cover additional cleaning and care. Thanks for understanding—we look forward to hosting you and your pup!



Longer Stays

For stays of 14 nights or longer, guests will be asked to e-sign a rental agreement prior to arrival. This agreement helps us comply with local requirements while protecting the property, and will be sent in advance for review.



Note

We often take our three little kids and dog to the cabin with us, so we're very family- and dog-friendly. Unfortunately we don't allow cats (we're allergic).

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.

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. :)
