About this property

Historic pet friendly cabin with shooting range, and ATV trails on 80 acres.

** Please note Disclaimers at bottom**

The Catlett Gap Homestead is a hand hewn log cabin sitting on 80 acres nestled in a valley approximately half way between Winchester VA, and Berkley Springs WVA. Pet friendly, with room to roam, camp fires, and ATV trails; The cabin pre-dates the civil war and was a homestead originally deeded to the Catlett family; some of whom still live in the area. At one point the cabin is mentioned in records of confederate troop movements, and apparently Stonewall Jackson himself spent a night inside the cabin during a snow storm.

A rustic hunting cabin with certain creature comforts such as a smart TV with Netflix, Prime and whatever else streaming services you might have, Wi-Fi, HVAC, Alexa, fireplace, BBQ pit, two fire pits, dual stall shower and bathroom with washer and dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. Other extra amenities of note beyond the standard: Firewood, charcoal, bottled water, fresh ice, candy, fish food, paper goods for BBQ. Outside burning is only permitted in the two designated areas with a fire ring and only when risk of forest fire is low. It has 2 bedrooms and a couch, and could sleep up to 8. Other in-door amenities include a wood burning stove, a small library of the local wildlife, and classic novels. There is also a cabinet full of board games. Because of the local area, there are lots of fun activities to do year round. Please read the other descriptions of the photos. Please note, renters must be at least 21 years of age to book this property. Also please note, that while this a pet and firearm friendly location, anyone who books at this property who brings firearms or pets are booking at their own risk.

The gun range features a 20 and 55 yard back stop. Please bring your own targets. DO NOT LITTER, and police your brass. Property is checked by owner after every visit. If excessive abuse or trash is left onsite, extra cleaning fees will be incurred.

Animal Disclaimer: Given that this is a pre-civil war log cabin you are bound to encounter pests such as bees, fruit flies, ants, and house flies in the summer and stink bugs year round. These are virtually impossible to control. Fly swatter is on the fridge. There is wasp spray in the bottom left cupboard. Bring bug spray in the summer for mosquitoes. You may see the occasional mouse or black snake. But you also may see the occasional box turtle or toad. Toads like to hang out on the patio at night in the summer. Think of it as glamping.

We enjoyed our stay and nobody was bored with several activities just outside the door. Between the ATV and hiking trails, shooting area and trips down to the pond everyone enjoy themselves. We also took a few trips out to experience some of the surroundings areas as well and we weren't left disappointed. Definitely worth the trip.

This was a perfect break in a great location for a Father-Son (adult son) bonding thing. Nice cabin, great place to do some shooting, great trails to ride a mountain bike, e-bike or just hike, and so close to a WMA to turkey hunt and skeet shoot over there. The greatest thing is that our family's dogs go everywhere with us so they loved it, too. Host was wonderful. Will be back.

For having a supposed 82 acres the cabin and shooting range are about 100ft from a highway with constant noise, someone drove by in a truck on the property about 20 yards beyond the target range luckily we where not shooting, its a decent spot for a more rugged group someone looking for a newer more modern place will be disappointed

We had the absolute best time at the cabin. My son (9) had a blast riding his atv on the trails with us. The kids also loved feeding the fish and playing darts, and we all had fun with the shooting range. The water does have a strange smell, but it’s a short drive to Berkeley Springs where we filled up a bunch of jugs. The cabin was convenient to the almost heaven swing at Cacapon, and we made it on the last day the summit road was open before they shut it down for the winter. Berkley Springs brewery was a great spot too. They allow dogs inside and have pup plates. We all had a blast and can’t wait to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Anthony Ray

Host profile image
Born and raised in Fairfax County, after having gone to James Madison HS four years, my friends and I had countless opportunities to visit the farm. I basically grew up there on the weekends, shooting, hunting, and fishing. Although most of my friends consider me a 'city boy' this property has a special place in my heart- and I'll never part with it. It will eventually end up being my son's when I move on.

Why they chose this property

My dad bought this place from Mr. Bob Kerns, who in turn had purchased the property from the Catlett family many decades prior-who were the original homesteaders of the valley. The Catlett family built the house by hand. Some of the tools we still have. Some of the children were even born in the house. Mr. Kerns has one son who he deeded five acres of the 90 acre parcel to and is our nearest neighbor. He still lives there and is a close friend of the family. People describe the cabin as a 'man cave' or the 'ultimate hunting lodge' or a 'rustic farm cabin'. It's small but has all the creature comforts you would care about. All of my dad's friends, my friends, and myself have trophy bucks hanging on the wall there. When we shoot a big one, it is a group decision whether we keep the head-using Boone & Crockett measurements. If the deer is worthy for mounting, it stays at the cabin. If not, but still special we do a European mount and the owner decides whether they want to take it home or not.

What makes this property unique

- Dog friendly
- Gun Friendly (Shooting range)
- ATV trails
- Fishing in the summer
- Horse trails nearby
- Few neighbors
