A Luxury Retreat. An Airbnb Opportunity. Less Than Two Hours From DC & Baltimore.
What if your weekend house could also work when you aren't there?
Tucked into the trees in The Woods of West Virginia, 132 Algonquin Trail is a completely reimagined luxury retreat designed for buyers who want a place of their own and the potential of a distinctive short-term rental.
Originally built in 1977, the house was taken down to the studs and completely remodeled in 2026. The result feels nothing like a typical cabin—or a quick investor renovation. It's dark, dramatic, sophisticated, intentionally different and professionally designed.
And that matters on Airbnb.
In a sea of beige cabins and predictable mountain rentals, this house was designed to photograph beautifully and give guests something they'll remember.
Less than two hours from Washington, DC and Baltimore, this is the kind of getaway that doesn't require a vacation to enjoy.
Leave the city after work. Wake up Saturday surrounded by trees. Spend the weekend hiking, golfing, exploring Berkeley Springs and the Eastern Panhandle—or stay home, close the 12-foot blackout drapes and disappear for a while.
The soaring black interior, walls of new windows, skylights and dramatic lighting create a completely different atmosphere from morning to night.
And despite the sophisticated design, this isn't a house you're afraid to actually use.
An extra-wide vestibule creates a true mudroom-style arrival. New stone parking areas accommodate 6+ vehicles. The new deck expands the living space outdoors, while cable railings inside and out preserve the openness and views.
BUILT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER
The transformation wasn't cosmetic.
The 2026 renovation included a new 1,000-gallon septic tank, architectural-shingle roof, 200-amp electrical service, buried exterior electrical lines, new water line, new deck with proper footers, new staircase, extensive grading and tree removal, new stone parking areas and all-new black energy-efficient double-pane windows.
The work was permitted and inspected by Berkeley County.
The floor plan was completely reconsidered, incorporating pocket doors, accessible features, custom interior glass and a custom glass-block window.
Four new self-flashed skylights have remote-controlled shades, while the dramatic living room features approximately 12-foot blackout draperies.
This is a 1977 house with an entirely new personality—and a substantial amount of new infrastructure behind it.
A KITCHEN THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A RENTAL
The kitchen continues the home's black-and-gold design with matte-black Forno appliances and brushed-gold accents.
There's an induction range, range hood, double-door refrigerator with ice makers, built-in drawer microwave, Kraus sink and faucet, and granite countertops and backsplash.
Even the laundry room got the treatment, with a new matte-black Samsung washer and dryer.
It is unapologetically dramatic.
YOUR WEEKEND HOUSE. THEIR FAVORITE AIRBNB.
For the right buyer, 132 Algonquin Trail offers an interesting proposition:
Use it when you want it. Rent it when you don't.
Its proximity to two major metropolitan markets, distinctive interior design, generous parking and completely renovated infrastructure give it the ingredients for a compelling luxury vacation-rental concept.
There is no Woods Club membership transferring with the property, although membership may be available separately for an additional fee.
And for a buyer who wants to move quickly, the home can convey furnished with a full-price offer—creating the possibility of purchasing the entire look rather than spending months trying to recreate it.
Offered without an appraisal contingency.
Not another cabin in the woods.
132 Algonquin Trail is the black cabin in The Woods—a sophisticated escape from the city, a potential luxury Airbnb, and a place you may decide you don't want to rent out at all.
Owner is broker/designer.
