The place itself was fine it’s just location there is nothing there and have to drive 30 min to over an hour even for food
6/22/2025
Loved this place! Pro tip: use the Roku app on your phone instead of the TV remote. Advise against cooking, the oven’s on its last legs.

This location was perfect for what we were looking for. It was right in the middle of everything, at least for us. The check in process was very easy and Tony was great at answering questions and reaching out during our stay!
6/18/2025
It was very peaceful. The kitchen could use new cookware and more supplies
6/3/2025
Tony was a nice guy. Service worked good with WiFi had a nice creek with hot tub. Def worth it !
5/30/2025
Tony was kind and communicative. Overall, the place was comfortable, but we had some trouble finding it because there’s no house number and zero WiFi. We did have the map but still drove past the place a couple times before spotting it. The bathroom shower had a fabric curtain (no plastic liner) with a large brown and yellow stain on it and smelled like rust and a bit mildewy. The ceiling in the kitchen had water damage and a bit of mold smell. It rained a lot and the ceiling actually began leaking on our last day. It’s a cute place, the hot tub is fabulous, and the land is lovely, but I think a bit more maintenance would make it a 5-star experience.

Tony was amazing and the property is beautiful

Beautiful location and very nice cabin!

Great place in a peaceful environment! Cute cabin
4/23/2025
Excellent stay and very private
4/21/2025
Everything was great! Definitely in the middle of nowhere if your looking to get away from crazy city life. couple things where a little dirty but expected since it was in the woods.
4/15/2025
great place!
4/13/2025
Loved our stay at the cabin it really is a peaceful area with amazing views.The cabin was exactly as we hoped as my husband loves nature.We went with our 6 month old and the cabin was really cozy .Everything was great we had a little issue with the power going out for most of 1 day and the weather being on the chillier side but other than that perfect stay .
4/8/2025
Great place to get away for a bit
3/21/2025
Initially booked a cabin but due to a damaged gravel driveway on steep incline (not listed) asked to cancel bc it would damaged my vehicle. It was approaching night in a very rural area with no internet so I had to find WiFi at a restaurant. I was informed that I could not cancel but to be switched to another one of Tony’s properties. Our hands were tied and we didn’t check in til after 8pm to a smaller and not ideal cabin. I sent pics to Airbnb about the concerns. I was never contacted by the host Tony about several issues we had. Also the price. The initial cabin was ~750. The alternate was ~ 550. A 200 dollar difference. I have been fighting with Airbnb and the agency host to get the overpayment of 200 for a couple weeks now. Airbnb told me I had to pay the higher price for the smaller cabin even tho I have a screenshot of the listed price. So essentially it’s like going into a store to buy a shirt for 50 $ and insist they take 100. How is this even legal? Ridiculous!
3/21/2025
I really enjoyed my stay at Tony’s! I felt right at home and the rustic aesthetic and decor was so beautiful. Tony was responsive from the get-go, confirming that all the amenities I was hoping for were in working order, and going through the early check-in process.
The home was clean and tidy, very well decorated with all the logistical necessities- quality soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, games, blankets and ALL the kitchen items you could ask for.
There were a few issues with lighting, stains on the couch, a working but old grill, a tiny leak during a heavy, heavy hail storm, etc. but nothing that bothered our stay!
It was a perfect place for two who needed to unwind at home, with the grill, fire pit, backyard creek, as well as enjoy the area, be in nature, enjoy picturesque drives and explore a new area. We stayed for 4 days and it was perfect!!
3/14/2025
Fantastic cabin, very cozy and the hut tub was really spacious fitting four comfortably. The WiFi was fast and the grille was awesome!
3/12/2025
House was clean and beautiful. The Hot Tub was great. It is tucked away in the woods, perfect for a relaxing retreat. Everything went smooth.
3/5/2025
Tony communicated excellently! We loved the stay. Location was amazing
2/15/2025
Had an amazing stay very peaceful and beautiful!!
2/12/2025
Positive:
The lovely views on the property, the stream out back and the very nice fire pit setup. Quiet and peaceful surroundings.
Negative:
The hot tub was nice but we didn't use it because there was no door to access right off the house you have to walk outside to get to it. It would be nice if there was a door to access it directly from the house.
1/30/2025
The cabin is very cute! We had trouble with the wifi connection, as well as some noticeable signs of rodents around the house. Tony communicates proactively. The surrounding area is very lovely, too.
1/24/2025
This air bnb is such a cozy cute find! The interior is more spacious and well designed than the photos give credit to! The exterior is very private and secluded giving you the privacy to enjoy nature! There really is no cell reception out there so do plan ahead for that. WiFi works well though once connected inside the house. Bed is very comfortable and clean!
My only things I’d have liked to know beforehand- no back door so you have to walk around the house to get to the hottub (not a big deal in summer but in winter it’s a freezing walk there). The oven temperature settings are worn off so you can’t see what you’re setting the oven to (again not a huge deal and there’s a thermostat inside the oven). The right two burners of the stove weren’t working (hopefully will be fixed for next stay as owners were very responsive).
Overall highly recommend! Lots of cute places to explore nearby (10-15 mins away). Do try Lost River General Store for ice cream and food! We loved our stay.
1/20/2025
It was great to get away and it looked beautiful in all the fresh fallen snow!
1/15/2025
Enjoyed our NYE at Tony’s cabin. The kitchen was perfect for cooking all our meals. We had fun playing giant connect four, madlibs, and stargazing from the hot tub. The wood stove inside was a plus!
1/12/2025
We enjoyed our quick trip to this cabin. The peaceful setting and hot tub was the highlight of our stay. Go check out Lost and Found Pizza and Provisions-great place! Good communication with host.
1/5/2025
This place is amazing, secluded and peaceful. The views are absolutely amazing and the hot tub was highlight of our trip! The place is so cozy and welcoming!
12/25/2024
Relaxing trip to the woods, complete with snow while we lounged in the hot tub! Thanks Tony!
12/25/2024
we loved our stay! definitely will be coming back. thanks so much again tony!
12/19/2024
Very nice stay. Out of the way of people in the woods. Tony was very easy to work with and the price was perfect. Highly recommend this spot.
12/16/2024
This house was truly a peaceful place to unplug and relax. The house is adorable, bed was supportive and everything we needed was there. The heat was warm, the hot tub was ready to go and the house was quiet as a mouse!
There were a few things that I wasn’t a fan of during the stay. Before you arrive, you get the house rules and information in a manual. The rule given that firearms are not allowed on the property made me unsettled. The house is secluded and has ZERO cell service. You want me to be in a house in the mountains, where predators are a dime a dozen with no way to call for help…. And leave my means of protection at home? I understand the property isn’t mine, but I found that rule unsettling for me.
We also wanted to check in earlier in the day, but there was some sort of technological issue that prevented it. We were asked multiple times if we wanted to come a day early or stay another day, but that didn’t fit our work schedule. I wish we could have checked in early.
12/14/2024
Great place very peaceful
12/1/2024
We had a lovely couple of days in the West Virginia mountains at Tony’s cabin. Well-appointed kitchen and comfortable furniture and bed made our stay enjoyable. But the best thing of all was the hot tub under an amazing starry sky, no light pollution here!
The water at the cabin is sulphur-scented though good for everything but drinking. Recommend bringing your own drinking water.
Check out is at 10am and the house rules ask for the dishes to be washed and put away. Be aware that the dishwasher’s cycle runs about two hours.
11/21/2024
We had a great time and the cabin was lovely.
11/19/2024
Cabin was a true mountain retreat! Checked all of our boxes. Creek out back, fire pit, hot tub and adorable cabin! Surrounded by mountains, what else could we want! fantastic!
11/4/2024
This had to of been one of my most favorite getaways the hubby and I have been on. We had no complaints about our stay and about how welcomed we felt from the moment we booked. Tony is one of the easiest people to communicate with and was so extremely responsive and friendly. The cabin itself was one of the most peaceful and beautiful spots you could find with so much to do. Between the fire pit, hot tub and star gazing…felt like the perfect nature oasis. We loved hiking around the cabin and then being able to come back and soak in the hot tub right after! Can’t wait to come back with our kiddos next trip and can not thank Tony and his team enough for everything!
10/30/2024
We had a great time!
10/21/2024
The cabin was the perfect weekend getaway! It’s on a quiet road and the yard gives plenty of privacy. There are great trails nearby as well!
10/16/2024
We had a wonderful girls trip weekend here! It was perfect and had everything listed. Thank you!
10/16/2024
Beautiful private cabin with lovely surroundings and a stream in the backyard. Make sure to go stargazing at night. Dog friendly and the owners are friendly and responsive.
10/9/2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was tucked away back in the woods to make for a very peaceful stay. There is plenty to do in the area surrounding the cabin no matter what you’re into or staying in and enjoying the cabin itself is always a good choice too. Tony and the team provided a very enjoyable experience with giving out plenty of information and responding to questions expediently. Even if a problem does arise Tony and the team are quick to have it fixed. We would not hesitate to stay again.
10/1/2024
Host is very proactive in his communications. He provides clear instructions prior to arrival. It is critical you download the house manual onto your phone prior to arrival. Part of the beauty of this area is that there is no cell signal. There is no house manual at the property, wifi password is in the digital manual. The location is beautiful. Adventurous roads and God’s country all around. Neighbors are friendly but it should be noted the only deck is at the front of the house in close proximity to the road. Nearly no night traffic, but quite a bit of working traffic through the day. Listening to the trees in the early morning is a treat. The gentle rain on the dying leaves sounds like a rain stick. Beautiful. Make sure to visit Lost and Found Pizza about 20 mins down the road! Excellent wood fired pizza. Very affordable escape from the cities.
9/24/2024
GREAT stay! at river birch cabin, the place was cute and cozy with a perfect location, tony communication was excellent— he was always helpful and very responsive.
9/17/2024
I was looking for a secluded place in the woods and this is exactly that, it was nice to unwind for a weekend. You’re a little bit away from stores and stuff; but if you want a secluded, quiet weekend, this is the place to stay. Tony was very responsive and made sure to check up on our stay. Also loved that I got to bring the doggos along with no hesitations from Tony. I would definitely recommend this place!
9/11/2024
Beautiful and peaceful house in the middle if the woods. Tony is very responsive throughout the entire stay. Favorite part was the hot tub!
9/7/2024
Loved our stay.
9/4/2024
This little house on the mountains is perfect for those wanting to escape and be in nature. I have stayed at a lot of Air BnB’s and the communication level was 5 stars for sure! There is not much to do around the area, but isn’t that kind of the point of this place? Escape, relax, and enjoy the nature! The home was very cute and homey! We all slept great and had a wonderful time!
9/1/2024
We had a great time! Loved the hot tub and the peace. The place was larger than expected.
8/14/2024
House is clean, aesthetic, and comfortable. It was simple and had everything we needed. It was peaceful and private. Not much to do in the area, but it suited our needs for a weekend getaway just fine.
7/23/2024
This is a little slice of paradise away from the big city. The hot tub is lovely to soak in the stars at night. Great big yard to run with the dog or explore the woods.
7/11/2024
Loved this cabin! would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Lots to do around Mathias definitely recommend lost and found pizza!
6/25/2024
Awesome would stay here again!
6/16/2024
Very peaceful and relaxing mountain stay. We would go back 🙂
6/1/2024
Overall a 5/10
Pros
-private
-hot tub was amazing
-kitchen was well equipped
Cons
-No cell phone signal
-When receiving the address there was no numerical number. You had to download the house rules to see the full address. That was challenging as there was no cellular signal.
-Communication from the host was poor. He wanted to communicate via text instead of the app which was challenging as I didn’t have signal.
-An extreme amount of small bugs (I understand we are in the woods). Need to seal cracks for easy entry of bugs.
-The smoke detector battery was low and it beeped the entire weekend. Very very hard to sleep at night.
5/16/2024
Great place to stay ! Surrounded by woods and no noise .
5/14/2024
Great stay overall, we had a lot of fun.
5/8/2024
Excellent location and peaceful stay!
4/28/2024
We had a wonderful time! The cabin had was clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated and spacious! We felt right at home. There are walking trails and a creek on the property and hiking closeby. Tony is a great host and very responsive! We cant wait to go back!
3/31/2024
The location is great. And Tony is very responsive. Unfortunately there was a dying mouse on the kitchen floor upon arrival. At night you could hear the mice scratching behind the bedroom wall. They did sent out an exterminator while we were there but none the less it still was something we had to deal with.
3/31/2024
My boys and I loved our stay at Tony’s place! We enjoyed the giant connect four, hot tub, and exploring the creek. The beds were very comfortable and the area was peaceful. I would definitely stay again!
3/24/2024
A small getaway weekend was made perfect with the amazing hot tub and beautiful hiking trails!! We are already planning the next trip here!!
3/16/2024
Great little cabin by the creek with a hot tub!
2/19/2024
We loved our stay at Tony’s cabin! It was so peaceful and the location is perfect if you’re looking for some peace and quiet. The home itself is very well taken care of and there is everything there that you could need, plus some! Everything about this trip was a positive experience and I would totally book with them again 🙂
We did get some snow and with the cold temps the road froze a little bit but they were cleared and traveling to/from was not an issue.
Definitely recommend this cabin if you’re planning your next get-away!
2/14/2024
We enjoyed our stay. It was secluded yet not too far from town. The cabin had everything you needed. The huge connect four game was a favorite for our 4 year old. The hot tub was nice. The beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows and extra blankets
2/5/2024
This cabin is perfect for a relaxing getaway! Decor has lots of character and the place has a surprising amount of space. We enjoyed the hot tub and wood burning fireplace, but ran out of time for the fire pit by the creek! Super comfy bed and fast wifi – really anything you’d need. They mean it when they say no cell service, so plan your routes ahead of time. Not too much around the area, but we loved Lost & Found Pizza and the hike up to Cranny Crow Overlook.
1/30/2024
Great get away!

Positive:
Great
Negative:
Location
1/23/2024
The positives; Tony’s place was beautiful and clean. Our checkin process was smooth, and Tony/his team let us know that the place was remote and did not have good service around so they gave us a heads up to make sure to download our map and checkin directions.
The negative; my husband and I did not consider snow being an issue. We were there for work but on the first day found getting out of the driveway and out of the backroads was definitely not safe. We reached out to the host to see if they had information about how long the snow was going to last, how often the roads were salted, etc. We know that the weather isn’t the host’s fault or responsibility, but we’re just wanting to communicate with someone from the area that knew what was going on. Communication during this time was very inconsistent and our questions were not answered clearly. We ended up leaving when the snow started melting and did not feel comfortable returning with us needing to travel for work.
1/18/2024
Loved the house! Much larger than in the photos! Host was very responsive. We had an issue which we were able to fix. House was super clean, hottub worked great, loved the creek in the back, it snowed and it was magical!
Only item is I didnt know it was so close to the road, we didnt have an issue with the dog and cars outside because its snowed and we were inside more than we had planned.
1/15/2024
Loved my stay at Tony’s cabin! Already can’t wait to go back.
1/2/2024
Cute cabin in the WV country side. Loved the hot tub and fire pit.
12/23/2023
Kitchen roof was leaking. We also smelled mold, so we checked out early. We got a partial refund.
12/5/2023
Lovely and very comfortable. Will be going back again in the future. Great spot!
11/12/2023
A lovely cabin in the woods, away from the (very little) hustle and bustle of Lost City and Lost River — yet close enough to get to town quickly — and an incredibly peaceful place to spend a few days. If you’re lucky enough to get this space during the fall when leaves are changing, the colors are like another world. That said, it’s a bit pricey compared to other properties we’ve booked, and the cleaning fee is pretty exorbitant. Totally understand why it might be necessary for large groups, but for smaller ones, it seems egregious. Also, the host seems to prefer to communicate via text (and not the text notifications you get when the Airbnb app has a new message for you; I mean a direct text from the host), which is against Airbnb policy. I noted that I preferred communicating via the app because it protects both the host and the guest, but continued to receive direct texts. It’s a solid 3.5-star stay, all things considered.
11/7/2023
wonderful cabin, clean and cozy
great surroundings, hiking places
beautiful trout pond short drive
quiet, relaxing time
11/5/2023
This was an awesome vacation for me and my dog. Tony was very responsive and provided a manual for the house. All instructions were clear and everything was as pictured and described. The location was remote but the WiFi was excellent! I wish I would have stayed longer! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get away and unplug.
10/22/2023
We had a great time at Tony’s cabin in Lost River! This spot is definitely remote and nestled in the woods. We came prepared with all of our own food and snacks, but this is a little bit of a drive if you need to gather supplies from town. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with all the utensils if you’re looking to hunker down for a trip and not leave.
The hot tub was so nice and the queen bed was comfortable. There were just two of us for this trip, so with kids this could be comfortable but with more than four adults you will be in a tighter squeeze. The bedrooms sit directly next to each other and you have to enter the larger bedroom to get to the bunk bedroom. For us, this of course was no issue but something to keep in mind.
Tony was a great host, super communicative and helpful. Thank you for a great stay!
10/22/2023
We had a wonderful stay at Tony’s cabin in the woods! The cabin is deceptively spacious and perfect for our family of 3 and two small dogs. The cabin was also well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay, including a toddler training potty which was a nice surprise (that we needed!). Our daughter and dogs loved running around outside, but as other noted it is not fenced in and right off the road so take care. We loved the backyard, proximity to great hikes in both the local state park and national forest and the incredible fall foliage this time of year. Thanks Tony!
10/11/2023
Very nice cabin at a great location. Quiet, peaceful and the perfect get away. We enjoyed a lot the hot tub and sitting at the fire put at night. The cabin is clean and very well equipped. Would come back.
10/2/2023
We loved our stay in Lost River this weekend, such a fun and quick trip from DC! Tony’s house was great, convenient location, comfortable, adorable and had everything we needed.
We loved the fire pit and hot tub especially. And were so happy we could bring our dog to the house.
We went for a great hike in Lost River State Park and had some really good food at Lost & Found pizza, and Lost River General Store.
We will be back again sometime for sure!
9/18/2023
We loved our stay at Tony’s place! It was perfect for our birthday weekend get-a-way! Everything was clean and it was better than we expected. We did have a mouse in the kitchen but we were able to get it out. Tony is responsive and checked in on us during our stay. We will definitely be staying again in the future.
9/15/2023
Positive:
We loved the cleanliness of the cabin. The beds were comfy, clean soft linens. The hot tub was wonderful, as was the fire pit. It had soaps and shampoo. Also
feel very kid friendly. We loved enjoying the games, and of course that our pup could join the fun. Most of all the host was magnificent and answered right away when I had any questions.
Negative:
I feel the yard was neglected. It's fall yes, but the grass was extremely high…8 inches or so, and the flower beds could look better. They were full of dead weeds. Having to walk to the fire pit or hot tub would've been better with maintained lawn. If im setting on the porch I want it to feel nice, looking at flowers or something other than weeds. . Also, the water pump clicking anytime the water was on was kind of an annoyance but shut doors helped that. The hot tub quit our last night but honestly just a fluke. We hated it but the host did everything he could to help from afar.
9/12/2023
Great peaceful stay! Enjoyed the quiet and the scenic drives!
9/5/2023
Tony’s place is a clean, cozy cabin in peaceful surroundings. There is plenty of wildlife around and many local trails to hike and explore. The Wi-Fi worked great for conducting work meetings. Would definitely recommend. Cell coverage is spotty, at best, but once you get to Wi-Fi, you’ll be back online.
8/28/2023
Clean, comfortable, great amenities. Excellent communication from Tony
8/27/2023
Lovely cabin! We had a great stay!
8/10/2023
Tony was a great host. Proactively communicated, and was genuinely helpful all around. The home was better than expected, squeaky clean, and a great place to escape.
Also, the bed is probably the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in.
If you have a dog, they will love the space, keep in mind it’s not fenced in. But if your dogs recall is good, you don’t have much to worry about as not many cars drive through, and you can hear them coming before they do.
8/2/2023
Great host, perfect spot for hiking!
7/19/2023
Absolutely loved this place! Perfect for birthday getaways!
7/9/2023
Everything was great! Our dogs loved the outdoor space. It was very peaceful and a relaxing trip.
6/28/2023
Nice little cabin for a quiet getaway. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice bonus.
Tony was very communicative and accommodated an earlier check-in for me; text messages weren’t received until later since there is no cell service at the location. Overall, I got the basics of what I wanted – a quiet getaway with internet and a hot tub.
6/27/2023
Tony is an amazing host and this little cabin was perfect for our friend group to get together at. The hot tub was fun, the decor was super cute, and you can’t beat the local surroundings.
6/21/2023
Beautiful and serene. We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed sitting by the stream and relaxing in the hot-tub. Very clean and comfortable. A great place to unplug and refresh. Highly recommended.
6/14/2023
This is a very cute home. Perfect for a small family. Tony is a very active and responsive host. Check in was very easy. Made our first trip to WV enjoyable. Lots of games and outdoor sitting space. The side yard is nice a big which was perfect for our dogs and outdoor games.
6/8/2023
Tony is great and so is her place. If you’re looking for secluded but nice this is the place for you. Nice cozy cabin tucked away in the forest.

Initially booked a cabin but due to a damaged gravel driveway on steep incline (not listed) asked to cancel bc it would damaged my vehicle.

So essentially it’s like going into a store to buy a shirt for 50 $ and insist they take 100. How is this even legal? Ridiculous!

I really enjoyed my stay at Tony’s! I felt right at home and the rustic aesthetic and decor was so beautiful. Tony was responsive from the get-go, confirming that all the amenities I was hoping for were in working order, and going through the early check-in process.
The home was clean and tidy, very well decorated with all the logistical necessities- quality soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, games, blankets and ALL the kitchen items you could ask for.
There were a few issues with lighting, stains on the couch, a working but old grill, a tiny leak during a heavy, heavy hail storm, etc. but nothing that bothered our stay!
It was a perfect place for two who needed to unwind at home, with the grill, fire pit, backyard creek, as well as enjoy the area, be in nature, enjoy picturesque drives and explore a new area. We stayed for 4 days and it was perfect!!

Fantastic cabin, very cozy and the hut tub was really spacious fitting four comfortably. The WiFi was fast and the grille was awesome!
3/12/2025
House was clean and beautiful. The Hot Tub was great. It is tucked away in the woods, perfect for a relaxing retreat. Everything went smooth.

Tony communicated excellently! We loved the stay. Location was amazing
2/15/2025
Had an amazing stay very peaceful and beautiful!!

Positive:
The lovely views on the property, the stream out back and the very nice fire pit setup. Quiet and peaceful surroundings.
Negative:
The hot tub was nice but we didn't use it because there was no door to access right off the house you have to walk outside to get to it. It would be nice if there was a door to access it directly from the house.
1/30/2025
The cabin is very cute! We had trouble with the wifi connection, as well as some noticeable signs of rodents around the house. Tony communicates proactively. The surrounding area is very lovely, too.

This air bnb is such a cozy cute find! The interior is more spacious and well designed than the photos give credit to! The exterior is very private and secluded giving you the privacy to enjoy nature! There really is no cell reception out there so do plan ahead for that. WiFi works well though once connected inside the house. Bed is very comfortable and clean!
My only things I’d have liked to know beforehand- no back door so you have to walk around the house to get to the hottub (not a big deal in summer but in winter it’s a freezing walk there). The oven temperature settings are worn off so you can’t see what you’re setting the oven to (again not a huge deal and there’s a thermostat inside the oven). The right two burners of the stove weren’t working (hopefully will be fixed for next stay as owners were very responsive).
Overall highly recommend! Lots of cute places to explore nearby (10-15 mins away). Do try Lost River General Store for ice cream and food! We loved our stay.
1/20/2025
It was great to get away and it looked beautiful in all the fresh fallen snow!
1/15/2025
Enjoyed our NYE at Tony’s cabin. The kitchen was perfect for cooking all our meals. We had fun playing giant connect four, madlibs, and stargazing from the hot tub. The wood stove inside was a plus!
1/12/2025
We enjoyed our quick trip to this cabin. The peaceful setting and hot tub was the highlight of our stay. Go check out Lost and Found Pizza and Provisions-great place! Good communication with host.
1/5/2025
This place is amazing, secluded and peaceful. The views are absolutely amazing and the hot tub was highlight of our trip! The place is so cozy and welcoming!
12/25/2024
Relaxing trip to the woods, complete with snow while we lounged in the hot tub! Thanks Tony!
12/25/2024
we loved our stay! definitely will be coming back. thanks so much again tony!
12/19/2024
Very nice stay. Out of the way of people in the woods. Tony was very easy to work with and the price was perfect. Highly recommend this spot.
12/16/2024
This house was truly a peaceful place to unplug and relax. The house is adorable, bed was supportive and everything we needed was there. The heat was warm, the hot tub was ready to go and the house was quiet as a mouse!
There were a few things that I wasn’t a fan of during the stay. Before you arrive, you get the house rules and information in a manual. The rule given that firearms are not allowed on the property made me unsettled. The house is secluded and has ZERO cell service. You want me to be in a house in the mountains, where predators are a dime a dozen with no way to call for help…. And leave my means of protection at home? I understand the property isn’t mine, but I found that rule unsettling for me.
We also wanted to check in earlier in the day, but there was some sort of technological issue that prevented it. We were asked multiple times if we wanted to come a day early or stay another day, but that didn’t fit our work schedule. I wish we could have checked in early.
12/14/2024
Great place very peaceful
12/1/2024
We had a lovely couple of days in the West Virginia mountains at Tony's cabin. Well-appointed kitchen and comfortable furniture and bed made our stay enjoyable. But the best thing of all was the hot tub under an amazing starry sky, no light pollution here!
The water at the cabin is sulphur-scented though good for everything but drinking. Recommend bringing your own drinking water.
Check out is at 10am and the house rules ask for the dishes to be washed and put away. Be aware that the dishwasher's cycle runs about two hours.
11/21/2024
We had a great time and the cabin was lovely.
11/19/2024
Cabin was a true mountain retreat! Checked all of our boxes. Creek out back, fire pit, hot tub and adorable cabin! Surrounded by mountains, what else could we want! fantastic!
11/4/2024
This had to of been one of my most favorite getaways the hubby and I have been on. We had no complaints about our stay and about how welcomed we felt from the moment we booked. Tony is one of the easiest people to communicate with and was so extremely responsive and friendly. The cabin itself was one of the most peaceful and beautiful spots you could find with so much to do. Between the fire pit, hot tub and star gazing…felt like the perfect nature oasis. We loved hiking around the cabin and then being able to come back and soak in the hot tub right after! Can’t wait to come back with our kiddos next trip and can not thank Tony and his team enough for everything!
10/30/2024
We had a great time!
10/21/2024
The cabin was the perfect weekend getaway! It's on a quiet road and the yard gives plenty of privacy. There are great trails nearby as well!
10/16/2024
We had a wonderful girls trip weekend here! It was perfect and had everything listed. Thank you!
10/16/2024
Beautiful private cabin with lovely surroundings and a stream in the backyard. Make sure to go stargazing at night. Dog friendly and the owners are friendly and responsive.
10/9/2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was tucked away back in the woods to make for a very peaceful stay. There is plenty to do in the area surrounding the cabin no matter what you’re into or staying in and enjoying the cabin itself is always a good choice too. Tony and the team provided a very enjoyable experience with giving out plenty of information and responding to questions expediently. Even if a problem does arise Tony and the team are quick to have it fixed. We would not hesitate to stay again.
10/1/2024
Host is very proactive in his communications. He provides clear instructions prior to arrival. It is critical you download the house manual onto your phone prior to arrival. Part of the beauty of this area is that there is no cell signal. There is no house manual at the property, wifi password is in the digital manual. The location is beautiful. Adventurous roads and God's country all around. Neighbors are friendly but it should be noted the only deck is at the front of the house in close proximity to the road. Nearly no night traffic, but quite a bit of working traffic through the day. Listening to the trees in the early morning is a treat. The gentle rain on the dying leaves sounds like a rain stick. Beautiful. Make sure to visit Lost and Found Pizza about 20 mins down the road! Excellent wood fired pizza. Very affordable escape from the cities.
9/24/2024
GREAT stay! at river birch cabin, the place was cute and cozy with a perfect location, tony communication was excellent— he was always helpful and very responsive.
9/17/2024
I was looking for a secluded place in the woods and this is exactly that, it was nice to unwind for a weekend. You’re a little bit away from stores and stuff; but if you want a secluded, quiet weekend, this is the place to stay. Tony was very responsive and made sure to check up on our stay. Also loved that I got to bring the doggos along with no hesitations from Tony. I would definitely recommend this place!
9/11/2024
Beautiful and peaceful house in the middle if the woods. Tony is very responsive throughout the entire stay. Favorite part was the hot tub!
9/7/2024
Loved our stay.
9/4/2024
This little house on the mountains is perfect for those wanting to escape and be in nature. I have stayed at a lot of Air BnB's and the communication level was 5 stars for sure! There is not much to do around the area, but isn't that kind of the point of this place? Escape, relax, and enjoy the nature! The home was very cute and homey! We all slept great and had a wonderful time!
9/1/2024
We had a great time! Loved the hot tub and the peace. The place was larger than expected.
8/14/2024
House is clean, aesthetic, and comfortable. It was simple and had everything we needed. It was peaceful and private. Not much to do in the area, but it suited our needs for a weekend getaway just fine.
7/23/2024
This is a little slice of paradise away from the big city. The hot tub is lovely to soak in the stars at night. Great big yard to run with the dog or explore the woods.
7/11/2024
Loved this cabin! would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Lots to do around Mathias definitely recommend lost and found pizza!
6/25/2024
Awesome would stay here again!
6/16/2024
Very peaceful and relaxing mountain stay. We would go back 🙂
6/1/2024
Overall a 5/10
Pros
-private
-hot tub was amazing
-kitchen was well equipped
Cons
-No cell phone signal
-When receiving the address there was no numerical number. You had to download the house rules to see the full address. That was challenging as there was no cellular signal.
-Communication from the host was poor. He wanted to communicate via text instead of the app which was challenging as I didn't have signal.
-An extreme amount of small bugs (I understand we are in the woods). Need to seal cracks for easy entry of bugs.
-The smoke detector battery was low and it beeped the entire weekend. Very very hard to sleep at night.
5/16/2024
Great place to stay ! Surrounded by woods and no noise .
5/14/2024
Great stay overall, we had a lot of fun.
5/8/2024
Excellent location and peaceful stay!
4/28/2024
We had a wonderful time! The cabin had was clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated and spacious! We felt right at home. There are walking trails and a creek on the property and hiking closeby. Tony is a great host and very responsive! We cant wait to go back!
3/31/2024
The location is great. And Tony is very responsive. Unfortunately there was a dying mouse on the kitchen floor upon arrival. At night you could hear the mice scratching behind the bedroom wall. They did sent out an exterminator while we were there but none the less it still was something we had to deal with.
3/31/2024
My boys and I loved our stay at Tony’s place! We enjoyed the giant connect four, hot tub, and exploring the creek. The beds were very comfortable and the area was peaceful. I would definitely stay again!
3/24/2024
A small getaway weekend was made perfect with the amazing hot tub and beautiful hiking trails!! We are already planning the next trip here!!
3/16/2024
Great little cabin by the creek with a hot tub!
2/19/2024
We loved our stay at Tony's cabin! It was so peaceful and the location is perfect if you're looking for some peace and quiet. The home itself is very well taken care of and there is everything there that you could need, plus some! Everything about this trip was a positive experience and I would totally book with them again 🙂
We did get some snow and with the cold temps the road froze a little bit but they were cleared and traveling to/from was not an issue.
Definitely recommend this cabin if you're planning your next get-away!
2/14/2024
We enjoyed our stay. It was secluded yet not too far from town. The cabin had everything you needed. The huge connect four game was a favorite for our 4 year old. The hot tub was nice. The beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows and extra blankets
2/5/2024
This cabin is perfect for a relaxing getaway! Decor has lots of character and the place has a surprising amount of space. We enjoyed the hot tub and wood burning fireplace, but ran out of time for the fire pit by the creek! Super comfy bed and fast wifi - really anything you’d need. They mean it when they say no cell service, so plan your routes ahead of time. Not too much around the area, but we loved Lost & Found Pizza and the hike up to Cranny Crow Overlook.
1/30/2024
Great get away!
1/27/2024
Positive:
Great
Negative:
Location
1/23/2024
The positives; Tony’s place was beautiful and clean. Our checkin process was smooth, and Tony/his team let us know that the place was remote and did not have good service around so they gave us a heads up to make sure to download our map and checkin directions.
The negative; my husband and I did not consider snow being an issue. We were there for work but on the first day found getting out of the driveway and out of the backroads was definitely not safe. We reached out to the host to see if they had information about how long the snow was going to last, how often the roads were salted, etc. We know that the weather isn’t the host’s fault or responsibility, but we’re just wanting to communicate with someone from the area that knew what was going on. Communication during this time was very inconsistent and our questions were not answered clearly. We ended up leaving when the snow started melting and did not feel comfortable returning with us needing to travel for work.
1/18/2024
Loved the house! Much larger than in the photos! Host was very responsive. We had an issue which we were able to fix. House was super clean, hottub worked great, loved the creek in the back, it snowed and it was magical!
Only item is I didnt know it was so close to the road, we didnt have an issue with the dog and cars outside because its snowed and we were inside more than we had planned.
1/15/2024
Loved my stay at Tony’s cabin! Already can’t wait to go back.
1/2/2024
Cute cabin in the WV country side. Loved the hot tub and fire pit.
12/23/2023
Kitchen roof was leaking. We also smelled mold, so we checked out early. We got a partial refund.
12/5/2023
Lovely and very comfortable. Will be going back again in the future. Great spot!
11/12/2023
A lovely cabin in the woods, away from the (very little) hustle and bustle of Lost City and Lost River — yet close enough to get to town quickly — and an incredibly peaceful place to spend a few days. If you’re lucky enough to get this space during the fall when leaves are changing, the colors are like another world. That said, it’s a bit pricey compared to other properties we’ve booked, and the cleaning fee is pretty exorbitant. Totally understand why it might be necessary for large groups, but for smaller ones, it seems egregious. Also, the host seems to prefer to communicate via text (and not the text notifications you get when the Airbnb app has a new message for you; I mean a direct text from the host), which is against Airbnb policy. I noted that I preferred communicating via the app because it protects both the host and the guest, but continued to receive direct texts. It’s a solid 3.5-star stay, all things considered.
11/7/2023
wonderful cabin, clean and cozy
great surroundings, hiking places
beautiful trout pond short drive
quiet, relaxing time
11/5/2023
This was an awesome vacation for me and my dog. Tony was very responsive and provided a manual for the house. All instructions were clear and everything was as pictured and described. The location was remote but the WiFi was excellent! I wish I would have stayed longer! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get away and unplug.
10/22/2023
We had a great time at Tony’s cabin in Lost River! This spot is definitely remote and nestled in the woods. We came prepared with all of our own food and snacks, but this is a little bit of a drive if you need to gather supplies from town. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with all the utensils if you’re looking to hunker down for a trip and not leave.
The hot tub was so nice and the queen bed was comfortable. There were just two of us for this trip, so with kids this could be comfortable but with more than four adults you will be in a tighter squeeze. The bedrooms sit directly next to each other and you have to enter the larger bedroom to get to the bunk bedroom. For us, this of course was no issue but something to keep in mind.
Tony was a great host, super communicative and helpful. Thank you for a great stay!
10/22/2023
We had a wonderful stay at Tony's cabin in the woods! The cabin is deceptively spacious and perfect for our family of 3 and two small dogs. The cabin was also well appointed and had everything we needed for our stay, including a toddler training potty which was a nice surprise (that we needed!). Our daughter and dogs loved running around outside, but as other noted it is not fenced in and right off the road so take care. We loved the backyard, proximity to great hikes in both the local state park and national forest and the incredible fall foliage this time of year. Thanks Tony!
10/11/2023
Very nice cabin at a great location. Quiet, peaceful and the perfect get away. We enjoyed a lot the hot tub and sitting at the fire put at night. The cabin is clean and very well equipped. Would come back.
10/2/2023
We loved our stay in Lost River this weekend, such a fun and quick trip from DC! Tony’s house was great, convenient location, comfortable, adorable and had everything we needed.
We loved the fire pit and hot tub especially. And were so happy we could bring our dog to the house.
We went for a great hike in Lost River State Park and had some really good food at Lost & Found pizza, and Lost River General Store.
We will be back again sometime for sure!
9/18/2023
We loved our stay at Tony’s place! It was perfect for our birthday weekend get-a-way! Everything was clean and it was better than we expected. We did have a mouse in the kitchen but we were able to get it out. Tony is responsive and checked in on us during our stay. We will definitely be staying again in the future.
9/15/2023
Positive:
We loved the cleanliness of the cabin. The beds were comfy, clean soft linens. The hot tub was wonderful, as was the fire pit. It had soaps and shampoo. Also
feel very kid friendly. We loved enjoying the games, and of course that our pup could join the fun. Most of all the host was magnificent and answered right away when I had any questions.
Negative:
I feel the yard was neglected. It's fall yes, but the grass was extremely high...8 inches or so, and the flower beds could look better. They were full of dead weeds. Having to walk to the fire pit or hot tub would've been better with maintained lawn. If im setting on the porch I want it to feel nice, looking at flowers or something other than weeds. . Also, the water pump clicking anytime the water was on was kind of an annoyance but shut doors helped that. The hot tub quit our last night but honestly just a fluke. We hated it but the host did everything he could to help from afar.
9/12/2023
Great peaceful stay! Enjoyed the quiet and the scenic drives!
9/5/2023
Tony’s place is a clean, cozy cabin in peaceful surroundings. There is plenty of wildlife around and many local trails to hike and explore. The Wi-Fi worked great for conducting work meetings. Would definitely recommend. Cell coverage is spotty, at best, but once you get to Wi-Fi, you’ll be back online.
8/28/2023
Clean, comfortable, great amenities. Excellent communication from Tony
8/27/2023
Lovely cabin! We had a great stay!
8/10/2023
Tony was a great host. Proactively communicated, and was genuinely helpful all around. The home was better than expected, squeaky clean, and a great place to escape.
Also, the bed is probably the most comfortable bed I've slept in.
If you have a dog, they will love the space, keep in mind it's not fenced in. But if your dogs recall is good, you don't have much to worry about as not many cars drive through, and you can hear them coming before they do.
8/2/2023
Great host, perfect spot for hiking!
7/19/2023
Absolutely loved this place! Perfect for birthday getaways!
7/9/2023
Everything was great! Our dogs loved the outdoor space. It was very peaceful and a relaxing trip.
6/28/2023
Nice little cabin for a quiet getaway. The furniture and beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice bonus.
Tony was very communicative and accommodated an earlier check-in for me; text messages weren't received until later since there is no cell service at the location. Overall, I got the basics of what I wanted - a quiet getaway with internet and a hot tub.
6/27/2023
Tony is an amazing host and this little cabin was perfect for our friend group to get together at. The hot tub was fun, the decor was super cute, and you can’t beat the local surroundings.
6/21/2023
Beautiful and serene. We had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed sitting by the stream and relaxing in the hot-tub. Very clean and comfortable. A great place to unplug and refresh. Highly recommended.
6/14/2023
This is a very cute home. Perfect for a small family. Tony is a very active and responsive host. Check in was very easy. Made our first trip to WV enjoyable. Lots of games and outdoor sitting space. The side yard is nice a big which was perfect for our dogs and outdoor games.
6/8/2023
Tony is great and so is her place. If you’re looking for secluded but nice this is the place for you. Nice cozy cabin tucked away in the forest.
