Hunting Cabins

[jumpsfromplanes]

What is the best way to find a cabin in the woods to rent for a weekend? I have done several google searches and not quite finding what I am looking for. Anybody have ideas? I would like it to be in Maryland and not stray more than an hour and a half from the Fort Meade area.

How rustic do you want?
rustic cabins with bare mattresses and no amenities except a fir ring?
Or more like a ski chalet with a/c running water and maybe a hot tub?
State parks are good for rustic cabins

or pick a spot and then search for a nicer cabin with amenities

or try VRBO

I found a nice cabin in WV for uber cheap. I asked the owner if I could shoot on the property and they said OK but no shooting animals. The house had a hot tub, but no AC and piss poor heat.

I just booked an awesome cabin on a lake in NC using VRBO and so far the experience has been awesome. Its easy to search for properties and the rating system helps.

I really could use a kitchen and electricity. Cots or stripped beds are OK. Need a fire ring. Don't need to shoot animals, even though that is a plus.

PS. Thank you all.

I recently stumbled on this place. I think it was from a link here on MDS.

I have not been here so I cant vouch for it, but it meets some of your requirements.
Its in VA probably about 1.5-2hrs from Ft Meade.
Cabins with electric are available.
Lake for fishing/boating/etc.
100 yrd range, but no hunting.

Like I said I have never been there. I might give it a try once the weather cools off a bit.
