About this property

Relax and Unwind in Beautiful West Virginia Cabin

Come take it easy in this beautiful WV cabin! Enjoy mountain views, a cozy wood-burning stove, and the fun and comforts of this unique home. The cabin is fully equipped for vacationing with a grill on the deck, games in the loft, records to play on the Victrola, a telescope for stargazing and a popcorn maker for movie night. Enjoy the ten acre property on our nature walk, and sip wine in the soaking tub. We hope you enjoy your getaway!

The Space
The cabin's main floor holds the kitchen, dining space, and living room with glass doors out to the deck. Our kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, pots and pans, appliances, coffee, tea, spices, oils, and more. The main floor also has a bedroom with queen bed. Upstairs is a loft area perfect for reading or games and taking in the beautiful view, and a bathroom with shower.

Downstairs you'll find the den with TV, instruments, games, and a built-in bunk bed with a comfy queen bed on the bottom and twin on top. Down the hall you'll find another bedroom with a king bed, and the laundry room. The den and the downstairs bedroom TVs have Roku guest access.

We have decks on the main floor and lower level for outdoor dining and nature watching. Over to the side of the house is another patio and grill. Wander beyond the outdoor patio to follow our nature walk through the ten acre property!

Guest Access
We use self check-in and you will have the cabin to yourselves for the duration of your visit. The cabin is fairly secluded and quiet. The property is ten acres and includes a nice walking path through the woods next to the cabin.

The cabin is up a relatively steep dirt road and we strongly recommend our guests have a car with four wheel drive in case of wet or snowy conditions.

More Information
Along with coffee and tea, we are excited to offer complimentary cinnamon rolls from our neighbor who has a bakery! You will find a freshly baked pan in the fridge when you arrive.

We welcome your dog companions as long as they are house trained. We have a crate and dog bed available at the cabin. When you are booking please indicate that you are travelling with pets under the Traveler/Guests tab to pay the $40 pet fee.

You will not have cell service at or near the cabin. Once you arrive activate wifi calling on your cell phone to receive and send calls and texts as usual (or turn your phone off and unplug!)

Please note we have one ring camera on the property for security purposes on the front door facing the side porch. You can use the doorbell to ring us on our cell phone if you need anything.

A Great Mountain Cabin

Really neat place to stay. The host was quick to respond and very friendly. The cabin has lots of amenities and we had a great time. Its in a dark sky area and you can see a million stars from the deck. We had a really great time.

Amazing Find

We had a great time at the cabin! Arli was very easy to communicate with, and provided lots of information before we even got to the cabin. The kitchen is wonderful and very well stocked. They also had helpful sheets with information for and around the cabin, and we ended up going to a great spot nearby to hangout, They were also very dog friendly, which we really appreciated. We hope to stay there again!

Relaxing and fun time at the House of Jam

The property is beautiful, the cabin was cozy and clean and had everything you needed to hide away for a couple of days. We brought our two dogs and their favorite part was the nature trail. My husband and I loved sitting by the wood burning stove and listening to records while looking at the view. Thank you, Arli for letting us spend our Christmas vacation here.

Cabin In The Woods

What a gem tucked up on the mountainside! The driveway is steep but our Nissan Rogue had no issues. Quiet, secluded, and has a lovely nature trail right on the property. Kitchen was well stocked. Soaker tub was great to relax after aafter long days of hiking.

PA Family Visit

Loved the House of Jam! Everything was more beautiful in person. Great views from the decks. There were so many neat details about the house and property that made it unforgettable. We were even surprised with delicious cinnamon rolls from a local baker. We hope to visit again!

Amazing Place

We had a wonderful trip to Mathias for a bike race. The property was clean and the kitchen was well stocked making me feel foolish for bringing a lot of things I did not need. Thank you for sharing your place with us. Hopefully we’ll be able to come back for next year’s race!

Beautiful property, lovely host

Our time here was wonderful. The cabin exceptionally clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed e vynil player and the clawfoot tub. Beautiful view from the balcony as well. The host was even considerate enough to leave us fresh cinnamon rolls from a near by bakery. We'll definitely be coming back to this lovely cabin!

Return to WV family visit

We really enjoyed our stay at Arli's cabin. Cabin was nicely updated, many cool amenities such as a popcorn maker and record player. Bed were very comfortable. My sister and I enjoyed sitting on the deck with coffee in the morning taking in the view! Anytime I had a question or even had to call Arli, she was very responsive and always helpful. Thanks for a great place to stay while visiting family! David

Wonderful Winter Weekend

The "House of Jam" is a comfortable A-frame built on the side of a mountain overlooking a beautiful valley. It has a large, well equipped kitchen, a comfortable sitting room looking out over West Virginia, two bed rooms plus additional bunk beds. The hosts are most accommodating. I am happy to recommend it and hope it is available the next time I need to get away from the city.

House of Jam and Rejuvenation

Are you looking to rejunvenate in the woods, listen to the music of the winds through the pines, and watch a mountain sunset? Then this is your "jam." The House of Jam. It's infused with Arli's touch and love of music, with coziness in every room. We found peace, albeit only for a few days, and will definitely return. With it being about 2 hours from DC, it's a welcomed mountain treasure and retreat.

Great Place to Stay

Our family has booked vacation rentals before where it felt like we were intruding on someone’s space. This was never the case here. The cabin is welcoming, clean, comfortable, and has lots of thoughtful touches. The host provides lots of amenities, from coffee, tea, and spices to shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Our kids loved the built in bunk beds, the instruments, and the hammock. The beds are super comfortable and plenty of pillows are provided. There was even a bed for our dog. 😊 We enjoyed exploring the area during the day and watching the sunset over the mountains each night. The host provided suggestions of things to do in the area, which we appreciated. The driveway is a bit steep in some parts. We drove a small SUV (Nissan Rogue) but saw a neighbor make it up in a regular sedan. Lots of deer and wildlife in the area. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a nice getaway in West Virginia. 💜
