Great getaway

We enjoyed our stay, the house was well stocked and clean. We have been here twice before and this trip was just as enjoyable. The host is easy to communicate with, the Wi-Fi worked well and we liked hiking around and playing by the pond.

Great place!

We really enjoyed the house and location. It was well maintained, clean, and in a really nice area. We have family nearby and the location made visiting Pickens, Helvetia, and Hacker Valley easy as convenient as can be for this part of Randolph County.

The Blackberry Cottage at Mountain Paradise

My friends and I spent a week at the Blackberry Cottage in April 2025. The cabin is super comfortable and located to so many great WV destinations. This is the second time we stayed at this particular cabin. Just like the previous time, the cabin was spotless when we arrived and exactly as advertised. The property manager is amazing. When the internet connection dropped, we contacted her and she called within minutes with a solution. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly be coming back.

Wonderful Weekend!

Being originally born in Weston 73+ years ago, living in Ohio most of my life, it’s always good to get back to WV. Your cabin was the perfect size for a family of 7. Price was right, like the online pics, no surprises, just as expected. We hope we left it as you would want, we’ll be back.

The host was awesome. We met halfway to see family and just hung out with everyone. There are two ponds to fish so the kids loved that. It was a very peaceful place and we will definitely be coming back.

This is a great place for anyone wanting a quiet getaway to whine down and unplug. There is Wi-Fi and TV available but you have to sign in, so you can choose not to. The house is lovely, clean, well appointed, and has everything you need. It is in the middle of nowhere so there isn't alot to do close by but is wonderful all the same. I highly recommend this location.

Wonderful mountain retreat!

The cabin is gorgeous! Very spacious, super clean and well maintained. From spending quiet mornings on the back porch watching deer to sitting by the cozy fire pit at night roasting marshmallows, we loved every minute we spent here at the Blackberry cottage and can’t wait to return soon. It was truly a mountain paradise!

Absolutely wonderful. We had a birthday party, which included 4 of us who styed at the cabin plus 16 guests and there was more than enough room for everyone. And everyone just loved the cabin. In fact, it may become a yearly outing!!!
