Wonderful winter weekend away from DC!

This cabin is so beautifully designed and worked perfectly for a weekend away from DC. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use, the living room was so cozy, and we had a wonderful time. We hope to stay again when it warms up!

Nice place with cabin charm. Everything was clean and cozy. I think it would be a great place to stay in any season of the year. Remote location, but a quick drive to restaurants in the city. Hope to go again!

rustic cabin getaway

This is definitely a place to consider if looking for a rustic getaway, willing to experience all that nature has to offer, and yet still want some of the finer comforts of home, including great water/indoor plumbing, fast internet and TV streaming, and a gas fireplace.

A quiet time in the woods

After an exciting holiday season I was looking forward to spending a few days alone in the quiet woods. This cabin was the perfect place. My only recommendation to anyone else, if there is a heavy snow then you will need a truck to get to the property because it is on the top of a hill. You can park at the bottoms of the hill and walk .2miles up, but the neighbors are pretty protective of the space and threatened to two my car. After explaining that my car belongs there, they were nice enough to let it stay :)

About the host

Hosted by Kurtis

Host profile image
Fun fact about me, I proposed to my wife, Kelly, in a Vrbo. Yes, it was a cabin. From that moment on, I realized a vacation rentals are more than just "places to stay," - they're an opportunity to write a new chapter in your life. We hope our cabin, space, the surrounding mountains, rivers, and area provide you an opportunity to do the same. We look forward to your stay!

Why they chose this property

As the description highlights, it's a special neighborhood. This our home as much as it is yours. We want others to feel and experience the feeling we have at our cabin, which is to allow you to be in the present moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Its the place where you can just, "be." We hope our thoughtfulness and care in the space translates into your stay.

What makes this property unique

Directly behind the cabin, up the hill, and our property are the five acres that border George Washington National Forest. You can hike right from the property is you feel inclined. We do recommend locating some nearby trailheads, but know that that is an option. From the cabin, you can hear the, Dry River rushing. The Dry River is a popular fly fishing destination for the area, too. The cabin is a short drive to the public access parts of the river.
