A gas fireplace adds warmth to the atmosphere, while the game room brings a playful touch with foosball, a Sonos Music Bluetooth speaker, and another Smart TV. WiFi is available throughout, and central HVAC helps maintain comfort during your stay.

Outdoor living
Days are well suited for time outdoors, whether you’re enjoying the deck, or relaxing on the covered porch with views of the surrounding trees.

All good. Nice property. Lots of amenities. Hot tub was great. Plenty of room inside and large yard with river front view. A little tricky on the road to get there but doable. The quietness of the area was worth it.We made it pulling a small trailer.
We had a wonderful time. The cabin was well stocked and we had everything we could have possibly needed. The hot tub was so nice and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back to this cabin. We loved the area and enjoyed the town.
Great property! Our only wish was for the loft bedroom to be comfortable enough to inhabit. Despite the portable floor A/C, the room was blisteringly hot.

Thanks for staying at Tayside-by-the-River, Eric. Glad you enjoyed the property. Sorry the loft bedroom was uncomfortably hot despite the portable floor A/C — we’ll review cooling options for the loft (fans, A/C placement, insulation) to make it more comfortable for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Great stay. We had everything we needed. The stream was nice and relaxing to sit beside. I would recommend to stay here. Neat location!!

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