The Space:

Cool mountain air drifts through the trees as you step onto the porch, the quiet broken only by the soft rustle of leaves. The scent of pine mingles with the faint crackle of the indoor fireplace, inviting you to unwind after a day on the trails. As night falls, the hot tub steams invitingly under a sky dusted with stars, while the fire pit glows with the promise of s’mores and shared stories. Here you can slow down, reconnect, and savor the calm of a mountain retreat.



Sleeping arrangements

Two private bedrooms accommodate up to four guests. The main‑level bedroom features a king bed, and the upper‑level bedroom offers a queen bed. A full bathroom serves both rooms, providing convenient access for couples, families, or a small group.



Living space

The bright, two‑story living area flows effortlessly from the loft to the open lounge. Comfortable seating surrounds an indoor fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. A Smart TV is ready for movie nights or streaming, and central heating keeps the space warm throughout the colder months.



Kitchen & dining

A fully equipped kitchen invites you to prepare meals together, with ample counter space and modern appliances. The dining table seats four, ideal for shared meals, board games, or a warm cup of coffee while planning the day ahead.



Outdoor living

Step onto a spacious deck and patio where string lighting adds a gentle glow after sunset. An outdoor fire pit offers a welcoming spot to warm up, and the year‑round hot tub is especially inviting on crisp evenings. A BBQ grill and outdoor seating let you enjoy the mountain scenery when the weather permits.



Family & pet‑friendly touches

Children’s books, toys, dinnerware, and board games are provided for family fun. The home welcomes dogs, with a private entrance and generous outdoor space, but cats are not allowed due to allergies.



Location & surroundings

Nestled in Rio, West Virginia, the cabin is about 10 minutes from Bryce Resort and within easy reach of state parks, scenic trails, and charming mountain towns. Winter visitors enjoy peaceful drives, nearby hiking, and the quiet charm of the region without crowds.



Good to know

Wi‑Fi is included and works well for streaming and video calls, though speeds may vary because of the remote mountain setting. Seasonal elements such as leaves or pollen may appear on decks and walkways despite regular cleaning.

We loved our stay here. Very quiet, pretty setting, great hot tub, comfy couch for relaxing. Keep in mind that the road to the house is gravel and very bumpy. Also note that the water has a strong sulfur smell, if you are sensitive to scents. Definitely recommend at stay here for a mountain weekend!

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.

What makes this property unique

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 Red Feather Cottage in particular. We love how cute and cozy our cottage is, and all the fun outdoor activities we can enjoy year-round. :)
