Welcome to Whitetail Cabin, a cozy retreat where nature and comfort come together. Originally one of the mountain’s first hunting cabins, this property sits just down the road from a private airstrip (now hidden under the communities newer homes) once used by Washington, D.C.’s hunting community as an escape from the city. Today, it has been thoughtfully updated into a welcoming getaway, perfect for couples, families, and small groups looking to relax in the scenic Blue Mountains.



Step inside to an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, designed for gathering and relaxation. The living room features a fireplace with an electric insert, creating a warm and inviting space to unwind. The kitchen is fully stocked with high-quality cookware and top-tier appliances, including a Vitamix blender, KitchenAid mixer, and Instant Pot. While there’s no full-size oven, the Calphalon® Performance Countertop Convection Oven and Air Fryer meet nearly all cooking needs. The kitchen island seats four, and the dedicated coffee station offers a Keurig, cold press, and a selection of coffees and teas to start your day right.



The cabin features two comfortable bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers a king-sized bed, while the second bedroom features a twin trundle bed with two twin mattresses and a dedicated workspace with a desk, ideal for remote work. The bathroom includes a tiled shower as well as washer and dryer.



For those who love outdoor living, the 275-square-foot screened-in porch extends your space, offering a perfect spot for dining al fresco or relaxing with a book. Just below, the lower patio features a propane grill, seating, and a private hot tub, creating a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.



Whether you`re here to soak in the history, explore the outdoors, or work remotely with a view, Whitetail Cabin is the perfect escape for making lasting memories.



Guests have access to the entire cabin including screened-in porch, patio, and hot tub. The crawl space under the cabin should only be accessed in the event of an emergency.
