The space
🌲 Experience True Glamping at The Red Roof Cabin
Escape the noise and reconnect with nature at this secluded mountain retreat. Nestled on 7 private wooded acres, the Red Roof Cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic simplicity and modern comfort.
Stay connected in the wilderness with Starlink internet, ideal for streaming, remote work, or simply staying in touch while surrounded by peace and quiet.
💧 Water
There is no running water on the property, so you’ll need to bring your own water to fill the two provided 5-gallon jugs. These connect to the sink and instant hot water heater for washing and cooking.
If you run low, you can refill your jugs for free at the natural spring in Berkeley Springs—a local favorite spot just a short drive away.
🔥 Firewood
We keep firewood available right on-site:
$15 per bag — for use in the indoor woodstove.
$30 per wheelbarrow load — for the outdoor fire pit (kept dry and covered).
Please do not bring outside firewood, as transporting wood can introduce invasive pests. You’re welcome, however, to burn fallen branches or wood already on the ground around the property—just no cutting down live trees.
🚪 Gated Driveway
A gated entrance ensures your privacy and peace of mind. You’ll receive the lock combination upon booking so you can come and go freely while keeping the property secure.
🚻 Composting Toilet
The cabin features a clean, eco-friendly composting toilet, designed for simple and sustainable use:
The urine (“pee”) bucket should be emptied nightly.
After each use, turn the side handle to aid the composting process.
It’s part of the cabin’s off-grid charm and helps preserve the land’s natural beauty.
🔥 Cozy Woodstove
The woodstove is the heart of the cabin. Once lit, it warms the space quickly—usually within about an hour. It’s the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring or stargazing.
⚡ Power & Connectivity
Even deep in the woods, you’ll have full electrical power—the cabin is now connected to the grid. A battery backup handles short outages, and a generator is available for extended ones (just message if needed).
🛏️ Sleeping Arrangements
The cabin sleeps up to five guests comfortably:
Full bed in one loft
Twin bed in the opposite loft
Fold-out full bed in the main living area
A single ladder provides access to both lofts—it’s sturdy yet easy to move. Linens are provided for all guests.
🍳 Cooking & Essentials
While there’s no traditional shower, you’ll have a sink, instant hot water, and washcloths for a simple mountain-style refresh. The kitchen area includes:
A propane camping stove with pots and pans
Refrigerator, microwave, and Smart TV (Netflix, Prime, YouTube)
DVD player for cozy movie nights
It’s all you need for an off-grid experience without giving up the comforts of home.
🌌 Nature & Stargazing
Explore your own slice of wild Appalachia—rocky woodlands, seasonal streams, and endless skies. With no city lights for miles, the stargazing here is nothing short of breathtaking. Whether it’s a quiet night by the fire or a moonlit walk under the trees, this is where time slows down and peace takes over.
Guest access
Guests will have access to the entire property. The green sea container and gray shed will be for the host's use only. Message me if running low on propane, butane, fire starting materials, etc.
