Most folks rent mountain cabins in the summer— peak season for barbecues, rafting, hiking and warm-weather fun. But the best cabin season is in the winter.
Not only is that when you’ll most appreciate the hot tub and roaring fireplace, it’s also when you can score wildly steep discounts. (Yes, that’s right. Even for the holidays.)
Small to party-sizes, rustic to luxurious— tuck into the beauty of Appalachia for a cabin escape. Check out these huge winter discounts on Mountain State cabins:
1. 10% off at Berkeley Springs Cottage rentals
Just a couple hours from Washington, D.C., Berkeley Springs has been a relaxing spa getaway since the colonial era. If you want to have a cozy home-away-from-home either in the quaint little town or off in the woods, check out Berkeley Springs Cottage Rentals. They offer dozens of different cabins of every size and style imaginable.
And, for the winter, any stay of 2 nights or more will get an additional 10% discount.
2. 40% off at Adventures on the Gorge
Lansing
With their headquarters literally on the edge of the 1000-foot deep New River Gorge, Adventures on the Gorge is an all-encompassing adventure resort for hiking, mountain biking, climbing, rafting, ziplining and more.
Oh, and they’ve got lots of cabins right on-site.
Throughout the winter, AOTG offers discounts on both their Deluxe Cabin Packages and their simpler Mountain Cabins: 40% off peak season rates.
Plus, it can be even cheaper to book package deals that combine cabin stays with outdoor adventures. A winter canopy zipline is a tour you’ll never forget, especially when you end it with a nice soak in your private hot tub.
3. Romantic or group retreats at Country Road Cabins
Hico
Tucked into a beautiful hollow between the New and Meadow river gorges, Country Road Cabins is a gem.
Their most popular winter discount is their “Reconnect Romantic Getaway,” which is perfect for couples celebrating anniversaries and Valentine’s Day…. orrr maybe just wanting to get away from it all for a couple days! $350 gets you and your sweetheart 2 nights in a luxury cabin with a fireplace, hot tub and champagne. (Not valid on holidays).
If you’re looking for more big-group or family fun, Country Roads also offers discounted rates of $250/night on 2- or 3-bedroom cabin stays for 2 nights or longer. These Country Roads will definitely take you home!
4. Special add-ons at Mountain Creek Cabins

5. 10% off at Hillbilly Haven Log Cabins rentals

The wilderness around Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park is West Virginia at its finest, and it’s only a couple minutes off of I-79. In the winter, the crowds thin out, and you’ll have the run of this snow-frosted forest.
