About this property

Wildwood cabin at Paradise in the Woods on the Buckhannon River

  • 3/4 mile long driveway to your haven in the woods. Located next to Paradise Cabin at Paradise in the Woods. Cabin is all new and ready for the 2021 rental season. Cabin has downstairs game room with pool table. Downstairs also has one king bedroom and bathroom with laundry. Main level has 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining and deck. Easy walking path to secluded swimming area (there are 2 swimming areas to accommodate 2 cabins on property) There are fire pits at the cabin and by the river so you can build a fire and roast smores with your crew. Swim, fish, raft, hike, or just relax on the front deck and enjoy the wildlife.

    Cabin sleeps up to 9 in 3 bedrooms, two bedrooms on the main level and one downstairs.

    The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils you would have in the comfort of you own home. There will be a starter of rubbish bags and dishwasher tabs to get you started.


    Please be aware that the driveway is long and steep in a couple places and is a bit rugged. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended but not necessary. Keep in mind that low sitting cars may drag going in and out the drive. (4-wheel/AWD is necessary in the wintertime due to snow)

    The train tracks are active but the train does not have a regular schedule, it may run twice in one week and not again for a month. If it goes by once, you are likely to see it twice, it is a coal train, the cars go up empty and come back down loaded.

    We are pet friendly (dogs only, fee required). You must clean up after your pet inside and out. Excessive pet hair on furniture or pet excrement (especially inside the cabin) may result in forfeiture of all or part of security deposit.

Amazing stay

This was our second time staying at this property, plenty of sleeping arrangements for our group, we love this place it’s by the river we did a little fishing while we was there , the place is always clean when we arrive and the host is wonderful to work with, the only thing that I would say needs maybe looked into is the water pressure but nothing we couldn’t deal with!! Wonderful place we will be back!!

Father's Day Trip for my Dad

This was trip for my dad and his sons, grandsons, and great grandson. We had a great trip. The place was secluded. The cabin was spacious and had plenty of rooms to sleep, plenty of room to cook, plenty of room throughout the house. Thank you for allowing us to use your cabin.

Peaceful river stay

This is a beautiful, quiet spot by the river. House is clean and comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and by the fire pit. The river is gorgeous, we saw eagle and river otters! The stairs in the house were tricky to navigate for our pregnant friend but you can easily walk outside between the two floors of the house. Thank you for sharing your quiet retreat with us!

The house was exactly like the listing mentioned. I loved the clean and simple home with the wooden animal decor. The home and outdoor area have a lot to offer. We loved the pool table, railroad tracks and river. The spiral staircase was loved by the kids, the only challenge was when we brought our luggage up or down the steps (but it is manageable). The driveway, as mentioned in the listing, was very long and steep and luckily we did not have any snow we had to drive in. Since it was a shared driveway with another home, we did have a fear of driving down the driveway while the other car was going up since it is really narrow for 2 cars to pass. We did not run into any issues with that. Cheryl was very quick to respond and answer any questions which was very reassuring. There is no phone signal around the area, but the WiFi worked really well! It was a great home and the whole family really enjoyed it!

Beautiful Seclusion

We were there in early August of 23. The cabin is beautiful and in a beautiful setting, but it is very secluded. 40 mins or so to any gas or groceries so plan accordingly. The road in is pretty rough, but we made it with some non 4 wheel drive vehicles. The cabin has lots of great amenities and the owners are very attentive and friendly. The AC died a couple of days after we got there and they showed up almost immediately with window units. They got the AC fixed within a couple of days. The river is close and very walkable and was fun and/or relaxing depending on what you want to do. There is a sandy beach like area to hang out. We took inflatable tubes and floated down a mile or two then walked the railroad tracks back which go right by the cabin. Only 1 train went by the entire week we were there so train noise wasnt an issue. Even though it is remote, the wifi worked great all week. There are several parks less than an hour away with great trails and a wildlife center 15 mins away where you can see some cool animals. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful place in the woods

We had a great time at Cheryl’s cabin! The river (across railroad tracks and through a small strip of trees- about 2 min walk) is beautiful! We tried to tube the river but it was a bit low in areas. We enjoyed it nonetheless - down river is remote and scenic. There are a few swim holes near the cabin (about 4 to 5 feet deep in spots) that are beautiful with clear water, sand/rock beaches, and large rocks cropping out of the river bed. We hiked around the property looking for small caves, and along the railroad tracks. Made a visit to the Wildlife Center (fun and a beautiful walk). We went to Helvetia, a tiny town founded by Swiss craftsmen, that has a general store, a cheese shop, wood furniture/art shop, local honey store and a Swiss restaurant. Be aware- the restaurant/ stores have limited operating hours - most are only open from Wednesday to Saturday, so plan ahead. The town has a picturesque stream, a bridge landscaped with flower boxes, and other small garden areas throughout. My family hiked the historical trail and a dog named Buck, who lived in the house next to the general store, walked the 2.8 mile trail with us and even showed us where to go a few times. He was such a great guide! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed! We made hotdogs and smores on the fire pit. The night sky was amazing! We lost power for a few hours due to work being done, but Cheryl was at the cabin within minutes to let us know. NBD. It was a great stay and very family friendly!

Almost Heaven

On the wall of the Wildwood Cabin at Paradise in the Woods is a poster that says, "And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." Our experience there provided the perfect opportunity to detach from our workaday world, listen to the river, and watch the leaves fall. Cheryl was an incredible host, providing detailed directions to the property and responding quickly to my pre-visit questions. The cabin was very clean and bright and loaded with amenities to make our stay comfortable. The decor was "woodsy" and complemented the mood of the property. There was ample room for our group of 5 adults to spread out for "me time" and gather together for meals, games, and camp fires. There are a few things for which travelers must prepare: The private "driveway" to the Cabin is long and narrow, a combination of dirt and gravel, with lots of ruts. Winter visitors are advised to bring their four-wheel drive vehicles. The circular stairway leading from the main floor to the ground floor is very narrow and almost impossible to navigate while carrying luggage or munchies; however, it is possible to go outside and around to access the area. The water smells of sulfur. It is soft and fine for showering, but we recommend bringing drinking water. Finally, the Cabin is truly out in the middle of nowhere, and there's little to do in the "nearby" towns (besides the Insane Asylum), so plan to stay in and enjoy the togetherness. We did.

Secluded Piece of Heaven!

We LOVED our week-long stay at this cabin in French Creek! The property description was spot on, so there were no surprises for us upon arrival. Asking any remaining questions or concerns up front prior to booking or your arrival is vital, and this host (Cheryl) was wonderful in both her communication and responsiveness to every question asked! Pretty much anywhere you stay in WV is going to be 20min or more from your typical shopping options and chain restaurants. Growing up in the hills of Appalachia, we judge "how far" some place is, by the time it takes to get there (not the distance). Read the description and Cheryl gives you an idea of how much time it will take to get to French Creek where there is a Dollar General and a diner (Bucks was a favorite), or Buckhannon where you can find a Kroger and a several small town shops and eateries (we could live on CJ Maggie's, very extensive menu!). The driveway to this cabin and it's bigger sister, is about 1/2 mile long and very rough - similarly as rough as the gravel road leading to the driveway. I don't consider this anything Cheryl can do much about...if you've ever lived in the hills/mountains, you know the difficulty with maintaining a smooth gravel road or driveway, especially one clinging to the side of a mountain next to a ravine. Cheryl's description is up front about this, so it should not be a knock on her rating if you choose to stay here. The road to seclusion is rarely paved, else it would be crowded :-)

Due to Morher Nature we spent the first night without electricity…….what a blessing. The abundance of privacy and outdoor activities just out the front door were all we needed to be entertained. Power came on afternoon of day 2 and there was plenty do to inside and air conditioning for those that may have wanted/needed it due to heat. The location though is the draw and these two cabins soak it in. Host was extremely informative through the whole electricity debacle which was much appreciated

Amazing cabin, we ran into some issues, HVAC went out but the host addressed it quickly installing window a/c units. Power went out due to a storm but the power company got it back on reasonably quick. King size bed it really hard, but other beds are perfect. River was beautiful with easy access for the kids. Road to the cabin is definitely rough could use a good revamp.
