Great location

Cute little house close to Elkins and literally across the road from the Monogohala National Forest. Went specifically to take the New Tygart Flyer. Food at the “Smoke on the Water “ is highly recommend.

Chris Nixon was a super host...

This property exceeded our expectations. Plus there's a lot things to do and places to visit nearby. The Owner was super kind and helpful. I would definitely be revising "The Landing" again. And highly recommend this cabin.
