- 10‑min drive to George Washington & Jefferson National Forests for hiking
The Space:
The scent of pine drifts in as you step onto the deck, the sun warming the wood while birds flit among the trees. A gentle ripple from the brand‑new hot tub invites you to unwind, and the crackle of the brick fireplace promises cozy evenings after a day on nearby trails. Here at Golden Oak, the forest feels like a private retreat, yet adventure is only minutes away.
Sleeping arrangements
Two spacious bedrooms await. The master bedroom features a comfortable Queen bed, while the second bedroom offers a Twin bunk bed, perfect for kids or extra guests. Fresh linens and plenty of storage keep the space tidy and inviting.
Living space
An open living area centers on a brick fireplace, creating a warm gathering spot. Electric heat and a portable AC unit let you tailor the temperature for any season. A Smart TV paired with fast, reliable WiFi makes streaming movies or video calls effortless.
Outdoor living
Step onto the large deck, where a propane grill stands ready for al fresco meals. The brand‑new fire pit adds a touch of magic for starlit storytelling, and the expansive yard holds a selection of indoor and outdoor games for all ages. After a soak in the hot tub, you can linger on the deck to watch the sunset over the woods.
Kitchen & dining
The fully stocked kitchen includes all the comforts of home, from cookware to coffee makers, so you can bring family recipes and enjoy home‑cooked meals. A spacious dining table on the deck or inside the cabin makes sharing food a natural part of the stay.
Neighborhood & activities
Golden Oak sits just a 10‑minute drive from the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, where well‑marked hiking trails wind through pristine scenery. A short 20‑minute ride brings you to Bryce Resort, offering skiing and snow tubing in winter, and swimming, kayaking, golf, restaurants, bars, and shops in summer. Whether you seek outdoor adventure or relaxed evenings, the area has something for every traveler.
Pet policy
We are family‑ and dog‑friendly, welcoming your four‑legged companion to share the experience.
Arrival notes
The cabin rests on a quiet country road that is unpaved and features a few potholes; most vehicles navigate it year‑round, but we recommend a cautious drive for a smooth arrival. Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each stay, though you may still notice occasional leaves or pollen—a natural reminder of the surrounding forest.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
We loved our stay here. The property was super clean and quiet. The hot tub and grill both worked as advertised. One thing worth mentioning is that the last mile of road in is a single lane, gravel road, that not only crosses through what appears to be a creek but is also quite steep and rocky. While we managed in a Tesla model 3, I wouldn’t advise it, particularly if it is wet.

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