You might look into the PATC cabins. I have stayed at a number of them and have never been disappointed.

NJ Pine Barrens. State parks for rental cabins.

It’s a 3.5 hour drive from Philly to Great Cacapon, West Virginia. I stayed at a very cute cabin in this area recently (had WiFi, screened porch, wood burning stove). There’s tons of gorgeous trails and not very many people.

For a 2.5 hour drive maybe Catoctin Mountain or Michaux State Forest in Maryland?
