A quiet and secluded retreat.

Modern, attractive, clean, well-equipped, extra amenities. The road to get to the actual cabin was very narrow but passable w/vans and SUVS. When you get close to the property, use the host's directions. The lower porch was a great place for young kids to ride scooters and trikes... adequate wood for a fire. ... great stay I

Family WV Trip

I am not sure I describe our trip in words. It was virtually perfect!! When we go home to WV to visit family, we usually stay in a hotel in downtown Charleston. This year we were looking for a unique experience and we hit the jackpot. The whole process was super easy and the owner made it even easier by his willingness to put up with my wide variety of questions, even contacting him while at the property on multiple occasions. The cabin was in great condition, had all the necessary cooking items, we had plenty of room for six adults and two very busy boys under five years old. It had snowed there previous to our visit, then Mother Nature added a few inches while we were there which made the sleigh-riding awesome. I strongly recommend you choose the Serene Mountain Retreat for your next trip to WV. I know it will be as memorable for you and your family as it was for ours!!

Best place ever!

When you firsr pull into the property, you will be amazed that the view. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is much more beautiful in person. A few times during the day, deer would come into the meadow. There were baby birds in the nest on the front porch. We saw them take flight and leave the nest. The log home is very beautiful and very clean. Very nice and spacious. JR is the best host. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and more. He responded to all my crazy questions in a timely matter and with compassion. We even stayed an extra night because of the beauty and JR. We will definitely stay again. If everyone is looking for an amazing place to relax or just get away, this is the place you nèed to stay.

Great spot for a little outdoors time

The property was tricky to get to. Apple Maps got us almost all the way there, then the owner’s VERY helpful information packet got us the rest of the way there! The owners thought of almost everything! I loved the laid back vibe that they had too, which just set the right tone for the weekend. We were celebrating a milestone birthday, so we wanted somewhere we could do lots of activities without bothering neighbors, and this place was perfect for that! It’s just secluded enough, but also has some stores within 20 minutes to grab supplies. The owner was very communicative and I felt like I could have reached out at any time and they would have been ready and willing to help. We were sad that there was not a trampoline on the property, but that was the only negative thing I have to say really! The property is ripe for exploring. It’s so serene and they provide all the tools you need to have a successful outdoors trip! 100% would book here again!

Our Myers Family Gathering :)

We were so grateful to all gather together at this beautiful cabin! Our son's thoughts he wrote in their "Blah Blah book". ;) The Myers' extended family gathered here from VA, OH, and NC. for 3 days. The property is spacious and relaxing with plenty of areas for kids to explore. The children enjoyed finding crawfish in the creek and even found a painted turtle we affectionately called "Timmy". Our children walked the creek on the property and even named a portion of it their HQ, headquarters! The walkie talkies added to their adventures. We took a walk up the ridge and over down to the Elk River and swam. A small group of us split off to walk back on Upper Ranch Rd, which crossed over the creek multiple times with full shade and beautiful sights to see. (including tons of tiny fledgling toads hopping out of our way as we traped through.) As Nana, I appreciated the variety of kitchen tools. Even having a rolling pin to have a granddaughter help me make raspberry cream cheese empanadas with the ingredients we brought. We appreciated having the "if you see it, you can eat it" items in the pantry, especially when we had forgotten a spice. The firepit was a nightly highlight as well, with the fire lending itself to relaxing and settling into the night. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space here at the Head of the Hollow! Our host, J.R. Stamples was so attentive to help us find their home and very accommodating and generous. Such a wonderful experience together!

Amazing large house for a big family or group. The house has several places to sit & enjoy each others company inside & out. It is clean, well maintained and fully supplied with anything & everything you could want or need! We really appreciated the welcoming home feel!

COUNTRY PERFECTION! 10/16-10/24/22

This place is just magical. The property is gorgeous - views for days! J.R. and his family have provided every comfort and plenty of space to spread out. Our family is in OH and FL - this was a great area for us to meet for family time. We spent a lot of time rocking on the porch and gathering around the fire pit - just talking and enjoying being together. There was a lot of hiking, some fishing in the Elk River, enjoying the Clendenin Brewery, a great dinner at Bridge Road Bistro., etc. We met so many lovely neighbors when my d-i-l's dog "escaped" on our second night. Everyone in the "holler" helped look for him. J.R. even txtd several times to check in with us - such kind, caring people. Fortunately, the dog came back on his own on the 5th day as if he'd just been out for a stroll and he is fine! Our time here went by much too quickly. We didn't get it all done, but we have a list for next time! Thank you!!

Wonderful Cabin!

We had a wonderful time at J.R.’s terrific cabin, just off the Elk River and near all kinds of outdoor wonderfulness. The cabin is perfect for large or small groups, on a beautiful piece of property (with huge meadows and forest) but with all the amenities you might need and a fully stocked kitchen. J.R. Is a lovely and responsive host. We will absolutely be back!

Cabin deep in the woods

This cabin is very secluded and offers much privacy. There was plenty of space for all of us and our two large dogs. The beds were comfortable and the decor was beautiful. There was plenty of dishes and there was even some food there. The refigerator was pretty full so if you are bringing food as stated in the advertisement you may consider asking the owner to not have it there. We saw plenty of wildlife and enjoyed a nice fire. We made many memories. This was by far one of the nicest cabins I have ever stayed at. The only thing that could have possibly made it better in my opinion is a hot tub or pool. We would stay again. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us.

Fantastic Place

This place was great. Beautiful place in a great remote location. Large place with plenty of room and places to sleep. Place was very clean and JR the owner was very great at communicating and answering ant questions. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure place had everything you needed plus some. Plus the views and outside area was so relaxing. If you are in the area this is a must stay place.

Cleaning the cabin

We were so grateful to be able to stay at the cabin while pressure washing it and staining it. We did a few other things but it's a piece of wv paradise for sure. Really enjoyed the fire pit area. Can't wait to bring our grands up with us and hit the trails. Rich is the neighbor he is very nice enjoyed talking with him. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.

Wonderful Escape

I traveled down with three friends for a girls tip and we had a wonderful time. We were able to explore the area, have a huge campfire and be comfortable the entirety of the trip. The cabin is massive and can hold a large number of people if needed and has an excellent location. As it is more in the country you can fully embrace the nature sounds of WV.

Fall Break Adventures!

My friends and I stayed here during our fall break. We absolutely loved every minute of our time in this cabin. The cabin had everything we needed and more to have a wonderful stay in the middle of the West Virginia mountains. We spent our days taking in the surrounding property and trails, while also taking a day trip to New River Gorge National Park. We also went kayaking down the Elk River. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a mountain getaway. JR was a great host and made the whole process super easy!
