Cabins
Greetings to all PATC cabin renters,
Thanks for choosing to stay at one of our cabins where you are sure to have a unique and exciting rental experience. We hope that you have a wonderful visit, and ask that you promptly report any issues found at the cabin upon your arrival. Because our dedicated cabin maintenance volunteers visit the cabins on a semi-regular basis, we count on you to help us with general upkeep. Your role in maintaining these historically valuable structures remains critical to their survival. Please review all rental and cancellation policies and other cabin information before placing your reservation. Contact me at
cabincoordinator@patc.net with any questions.
Warm Regards,
PATC Cabins & Lands Coordinator
About Our Cabins
PATC maintains 45 cabins to provide hiking and outdoor experiences for its members and the public. These cabins extend from Charlottesville, Virginia through Maryland, West Virginia, and reach as far north as Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. Each cabin tells a unique, vibrant story; constructed by forest rangers, PATC members and benefactors, the Civilian Conservation Corps, or even Prohibition-era moonshiners.
Important Cabin Facts
Varying Amenities: The cabins differ in amenities, ranging from primitive; offering spring-fed water, a wood stove, an outdoor privy, no electricity, and solitude, to modern; offering electricity, running hot and cold water, as well as a kitchen and bathroom.
Membership: While the club offers 18 public cabins for everyone, most cabins are only available to members. Click here to learn more about becoming a PATC member and the benefits of supporting the organization. If, during the rental process, you decide to book a members-only cabin (they will appear in all capital letters), you can add an appropriate membership to your cart.
Hike-in Distance: In determining the cabin that’s right for you, note that many of the cabins require a potentially lengthy hike-in and some backpacking experience. These cabins may be less accessible for some folks.
Reservation Required: Although many PATC cabins are situated along the Appalachian Trail, you should not disturb the cabin occupants along your route without a reservation. The cabins are locked, and cabin keys are kept at our office in Northern Virginia. All reservations must be booked in advance.
