Milam Ridge: Modern Cabin Escape. Hot Tub, Covered Deck, Fire Pit

This cabin was an absolute dream stay in West Virginia! The view alone was breathtaking — wide, peaceful, and the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The cabin itself was immaculate, with such mindful placement of everything. You can tell so much thought and care went into every detail. The design was truly one of a kind, with gorgeous woodwork throughout. Each piece of wood, from the beams to the finishes, had its own unique character, making the cabin feel warm, inviting, and unlike anywhere I’ve stayed before. It’s clear that this cabin was built with love. Whether you’re planning a romantic trip, a family vacation, or bringing your dog along, it’s set up beautifully for all. I brought my dog, and I can’t say enough about how perfect it was — the separate fenced-in area let him run freely, and he could roam on the patio safely without me worrying at all. If you’re looking for a quiet, thoughtfully designed, and welcoming escape surrounded by nature, this cabin is it. I can’t wait to come back!

We loved how everything you could possibly need was thought of. We loved the remote location and the quiet.

We had a great stay! We chose this cabin to help us escape from our busy life. The home is beautiful, designed with such care and unique finishes. The kitchen is well stocked with high quality cookware and appliances (there was even a large assortment of coffees, spices, sweeteners), the outdoor space is incredible, and the setting is gorgeous. We enjoyed watching squirrels and birds play in the oak trees throughout the property. Brett was an excellent host, he was great at communicating with us prior to our stay to make sure we had all the information necessary for a smooth check in. You can see the love and care poured into making this cabin special, every detail about the property is so carefully selected. We spent 8 nights at the cabin and only ventured into town twice. If you’re looking to get away in nature but want to do it with luxury, this is a great place to do it! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Everything stood out, the host, the home, the amenities and all associated with it. Milam Ridge is exceptional, the host has created a place of exceptional beauty, comfort, peace & tranquility!! Everything that you could possibly need or want in this setting has been thought of and provided so all you have to do is show up and enjoy!!

Fantastic place! Loved the artistic industrial theme, and woodlands that feel like they are a part of the living spaces. Would love to have stayed much longer!

This cabin is 100% just as the other reviews said!! So clean, so well stocked, the dog run was better than expected. Even the pots and pans were luxurious!! For a quick night away from the craziness of life the is was perfect! I enjoyed the quiet morning on the porch with my coffee and pups! Thanks Brett!!

Excellent stay at this cabin, extremely clean, smooth check in and out process, and all amenities were available plus a well stocked kitchen. Highly recommended stay for a nice quiet getaway.

Had a great time with family. We had all that we needed. The cabin was clean, the deck and dog area was spacious, the fire pit was fun for making s’mores. Too hot for the hot tub but was private and nice. Having the two separate cabins gave all some privacy at night to unwind from the day.

The cabin was very clean, thank you to the property manager!! The photos showed the property perfectly. We loved the deck and enjoyed the fire pit, great weather. I will share on my facebook page. Good luck I’m sure you will continue to get great reviews

The most unique,cozy & relaxing cabin we have stayed in. Off the beaten path and in a very quiet secluded area! We loved watching the wildlife from the gorgeous deck, listening to the coyotes howl at night from the hot tub, and viewing the stars from the outdoor shower. Host communication was fantastic! Property was very clean and extremely well stocked. The attention to detail throughout the cabin was exceptional! If you’re looking for relaxation this is the place for you!

The property was superb, flawless check in, kitchen was stocked to the max with every utensil possible.

This was my first time using VRBO myself and I was deeply impressed. This property is not only accurately reflected in its photos, it is even nicer in person. Little details... the scent of the unit, the sweet sound of rain drops on the roof, the ample firewood, and the detailed organization add so much charm to this property. Everything we needed was there, and labeled for an easy find. While so many rentals are tired and worn, everything about Milam Ridge was fresh, crisp, and cared for. The hot tub was delightful, as was the hammock. The fire pit was beautiful. We cooked a detailed dinner one night and were impressed with the utensils and spices, etc. This does not feel like renting a home... it more feels like when a stylish, curated, and generous friend throws you the keys to their getaway. My infant son, dogs, and wife all found enjoyment, and we plan to return in the future, as well as encourage others (from Baltimore, DC, Pittsburgh, and Philly) do the same. We also enjoyed getting there. The host was very communicative and attentive.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty and craftsmanship of this cabin. Every detail—from the layout to the woodwork—was thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed. You can tell a lot of love and intention went into creating this space.The peacefulness of the back deck was exactly what we needed. Sitting out there, surrounded by trees and nature, we truly felt like we were away from it all. It’s secluded in the best way—private and quiet, yet still close enough to anything you might need.One of the highlights for us was the outdoor shower. It was such a fun and refreshing experience, and it’s inspired us to think about building one at home! The mix of nature and comfort throughout the entire property was perfect.Our dog, Wyatt, had the time of his life exploring the outdoor space. It was like a sniffing adventure park for him. It made us so happy to see him enjoying himself in a safe and open area.Overall, this was more than just a place to stay—it was an experience. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and already talking about when we can return. Highly, highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet escape with charm, comfort, and character.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cabin, which combined rustic charm with all the modern amenities you could ask for. The kitchen was fully equipped, making meal prep a breeze, while the living area was cozy and relaxing. The beds were incredibly comfy, and the bathrooms were spotless. We spent hours on the porch, it felt like our own little peaceful retreat. The cabin’s location offered seclusion but wasn’t too far removed. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We’re already planning our next visit — it’s hard to imagine a better way to disconnect and recharge! Thanks to Brett for being so thoughtful and thorough in his communication.

Property was amazing and everything you would need and more loved everything and would diffently recommend to anyone looking for a nice relaxing get away

This property is just as beautiful as the pictures show. The covered deck is the centerpiece of this destination and is where you will want to stay. House was stocked with anything you could ever need! 5 service and experience!

My husband, two dogs, and I loved everything about our 3 day stay here. The house and large deck were just gorgeous, with a great, uninterrupted backyard view of the woods and a stream; it felt like a breath of fresh air and we all felt very at peace there. It was slightly hard to tell from the pictures, but there was a huge fenced in yard the dogs loved. The house was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed, plus more that showed the owner put a lot of thought and intentionality into making the place ready for guests. If you stay, go to Wild Roots Cafe and spot eagles on the Potomac Scenic Railroad.

Very comfortable stay with all of the amenities. We especially enjoyed the wildlife and the view from the back porch.

We loved staying at this cabin in April. This cabin has so many thoughtful details and beautiful views. Both of my teenagers already want to know when we can come back, which is a glowing recommendation from them as well. Thanks for the great trip!

Had an incredible time at Milam Ridge. The property itself had an amazing architectural layout that you can tell a lot of planning went into, plenty of things to do, and was in a very quiet/peaceful area in the woods. The owner responded to all inquiries promptly and clearly, and was very helpful throughout our stay.Our stay was perfect without any issues, and we intend to come back!

Everything about the place was perfect. Hot tub was great. Family had a great time. We will be back.

Awesome property! Amazing detail to the design and super user friendly. Will be back!

Very well appointed property. Lovely view. Looking forward to a future trip back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the property and our stay. The small details and use of building materials had us pointing things out all weekend. Was probably one of the cleanest homes we’ve rented. You really could just pack clothes and a toothbrush, they have thought of everything! The kitchen was fully loaded which was nice considering we didn’t need to buy spices for one meal, if you cook when traveling then you know what I mean! We would love to come back to make better use of the outdoor space (it was a tad too windy for an outdoor fire). We spent a ton of time in the hot tub, playing board games by the indoor fireplace and exploring some of West Virginia. There’s a small town about 15 minutes away which was convenient. We visited Wild Roots cafe daily their pastries and coffee were delicious (we even brought some home). So if you’re looking for a little getaway from the responsibilities of life then look no further and book it! Brett was exceptional with everything and very quick to respond. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

My husband and I had a perfect getaway here. Everything was just as the pictures show. So much thought has been put into this cabin and we appreciated every aspect of it. We will definitely be back!

So unique in its construction and the large deck and fire pit were amazing

The cabin is beautiful! It was a private relaxing getaway. Everything was very clean and well organized. They had an information packet set out that answered most of our questions. It was really nice enjoying the peace and quiet by the fire drinking our wine.

Everything was great, very clean attention to detail was amazing, they thought of everything

Property was excellent in every way! So unique and fun!!

This cleverly designed and decorated cabin is perfect for privacy and quiet relaxation. We’d like to return when we have time to stay longer and really enjoy the layout and the amenities. The cabin has everything you could think of needing and some things you would not have thought of but are smart additions. The host is very reachable and very dedicated to having you enjoy your stay. There’s even a new electric car charger so you can noiselessly drive in and out with no worries about where to charge. We came out to ride the Potomac Eagle and this is a perfect location just a few minutes from the station. Our adult daughter joined us and the separate cabin space was ideal for a private place to get away and sleep comfortably. Meticulously clean and it looks as good as the photos!

A well appointed cabin that features a recent fully-renovated property, structures, and interiors with a craftsperson's touch - the exposed structure and industrial design motif was carried through uniquely and in great detail. A large furnished outdoor covered pergola that includes cover from the rain expands the living space to outdoors. A large fire pit, lots of covered/dry cut firewood, a hot tub, and broad views of the hillside woods add to a seamless experience to blend the outdoors with the in. Indoors, beds were super comfortable, the entire property and interiors were spotless! All furnishings were comfortable, modern, and continued the industrial chic look and feel. The WiFi was spotty which may have been the result of the rain, (happens at my home as well). Large windows let in abundant natural light and views of the surrounding trees. The Property Management team was super communicative and responsive from initial rental inquiry to check out confirmation. Towels, linens, curtains for privacy, a Kurig coffee maker, selection box of teas, a drawer full of games, a selection of movies on DVD, a User Guide that includes thorough instructions and restaurant recommendations, (for what they are in this area), and more thoughtful additions are in place to make for a restful, enjoyable, and memorable stay. If my travels take me back to this area, I'd stay here again.
