My wife and I loved this beautiful mountain cabin getaway! We brought our two dogs and it was perfect for us. The couch and living area is super cozy and comfortable. The backyard is awesome and really wonderful for dogs because it’s enclosed and also has a great fire pit for enjoying the beautiful night sky. We saw bald eagles, deer, and turkeys while we were there all around the cabin. It’s a very relaxing country escape. We were able to explore the new River Gorge national Park conveniently for the four days we were there. Thanks for the great stay!

Beautiful setting with great view and wildlife. Great place if you want to get away and chill. Hosts live next door and are very friendly and helpful without being overbearing - were very accommodating when my wife experienced broken ankle while at New River Gorge.

This was a great property, peaceful. In the morning and evening we looked forward to seeing the deers! The owners have a trail in the back that is worth exploring if you don't want to go far. The location is great too. Highly recommend this cabin.

This is a wonderful cabin, it has a great view from the front porch the deer and turkeys wonder around and eat all day long. There is a fenced back yard with a deck and a camp fire area. The cabin was spotless. Overall a great place to stay.

What a gem nestled in the mountains. The home is well appointed and very comfortable. I sat on the porch watching deer and turkey for hours. Will definitely stay here again!

We had a great stay. The on-site owners were extremely respectful. The location was close to the park locations while still feeling remote and peaceful - we woke up most days to +4 whitetail deer and the sound of bullfrogs. Great location and dog friendly. Would recommend.

If you’re looking for off the beaten path, this is it! Very peaceful and lots of wildlife. Owners are on the property but you hardly ever see them. And when you do they are nothing but helpful & friendly. It’s a bit of a drive to some of the area parks and attractions but well worth it for the tranquility that this rental offers.

Great location for visiting the 2 state parks and national park in the area. The house was great. We would see deer and turkey multiple times a day not even 20 feet from the house. They have a trail you can walk on the property along with a pond you can fish in. Great experience!

Amazing place to stay close to all the hiking, sight seeing, rafting, and food. Super clean. Owners are great people. Abundant wildlife to see from the front porch. Fun fishing the pond. Lots of bass. Owner caught us some fresh minnows to use for bait. Hiking trails on property were great also. Would definitely stay again.

First time staying in WV. Came up for the week and this cabin was wonderful. The perfect get away from our bustling city life. The host was accommodative and communicative. If you like hiking, the property has a nice 2 mile trail on it with an overlook at the top. Highly recommend staying here.
