About this property

Ugly Cabin, Stunning Escape – Hot Tub! Fire Pit! Fast WIFI! Sunroom! Hiking!

Welcome to Rainbow Cabin #3 at Revelle’s River Resort – Where Mountain Charm Meets Cozy Comfort!

Step into a slice of West Virginia history—with a modern twist. What was once a 1950s one-room schoolhouse has been beautifully transformed into your home-away-from-home in the heart of the mountains. Rainbow Cabin #3 is your launchpad for outdoor adventure, riverfront relaxation, and fireside memories—all wrapped in rustic charm and creature comforts.

Located just steps from the Shaver’s Fork River, you’ll enjoy access to some of the best trout fishing in the state, tubing in the summer (when the water’s high), and scheduled on-site activities perfect for guests of all ages.

Your Cozy Cabin Includes:
2 Bedrooms
→ One with a queen bed
→ One with two twin-over-twin bunk beds

Living Room
→ Queen-size sofa bed
→ Flat-screen TV with cable
→ Pellet stove with pellets provided

Bathroom
→ Clean and modern with full-size shower

Kitchen
→ Fully equipped with fridge, stovetop, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, and bakeware

Dining Area
→ Comfortable indoor table + outdoor picnic table

What You’ll Love:
Shared hot tub in a screened-in gazebo (with Rainbow Cabins 1 & 2)

Private fire pit, charcoal grill & outdoor dining area

Sunroom (enclosed porch with table & chairs—not heated in winter)

WiFi & cable TV for when you want to unwind indoors

Pet-friendly! Bring your furry friends (just let us know in advance)

Window AC and strip heat + cozy pellet stove for year-round comfort

Resort Perks & Fun Stuff:
When you stay at Rainbow Cabin #3, you’re not just booking a cabin—you’re unlocking a full resort experience.

Camp Store & Office (April–November): Forgot marshmallows? We’ve got you.

On-site Splash Pad: Kids love it, and parents appreciate the peace of mind.

Seasonal Events: Check out our event calendar online or at check-in—think tie-dye, movie nights, live music, and more!

Tubing rentals: Float your stress away during summer stays.

Fishing access: Cast your line into the legendary Shaver’s Fork River.

Playground & green space: Perfect for little explorers.

Pet & Guest Info:
$20/night per pet (must be approved at time of booking—no exceptions)

Base rate includes 4 guests; each additional guest is $20/night

Must be 21+ with valid ID to book

Quiet hours begin at 10 PM—bring your s’mores and your inside voices

Please Note:
Rainbow 3 shares a backyard area with Rainbow Cabins 1 & 2. While you’ll have your own private grill, fire pit, and picnic table, this is a family-friendly campground setting—expect some neighborly noise and laughter (especially in summer). If you’re looking for pure solitude, try visiting in winter when it’s quieter and more private.

Who This Cabin is Perfect For:
Couples looking for a romantic escape under the stars

Families who want space to play, fish, grill, and chill

Friends on a weekend retreat

Solo adventurers chasing peace, river sounds, and unplugged moments

Because it's not just a stay—it’s a memory in the making.
Because here, you can catch a trout at sunrise, tube the river by lunch, grill burgers by the fire, then soak in the hot tub beneath the stars.
Because life’s too short to stay in boring places.

Ready for Your Escape? Here’s What to Do:
Pack your poles and plan your cast—Shaver’s Fork is waiting.

Everyone who worked at the campground was very pleasant! Beautiful scenery!

Overall it was a pleasant stay. I was traveling with my elderly parents and my father had difficulty maneuvering around in the bathroom. The bathroom was small for anyone with any type of disabilities. This was an oversight on my part, because I didn't ask. We really enjoyed playing games on the porch!!

An Awesome Experience!!!

My 3 kids and I came for spring break. With working from home and my kids doing virtual learning, we needed to get away! We are new to WV and came from Martinsburg. What a beautiful drive! It was so nice to get to explore our new state! When we arrived we went to check in to the camp store and was greeted by the owner. She was very friendly and check in was smooth. I forgot a few things and was able to purchase them at the store. Very nicely stocked and even had a mini library for their guests to borrow books during their stay. Our cabin was clean, fresh linens and nice fluffy towels. The kitchen was well stocked and the appliances were clean and functioning. We weren't able to use the grill outside as it was rotted out at the bottom, but we used the fire pit instead. Our hot tub was clean and had a nice seating area inside. The playgrounds were in good shape as well as the basketball court. The volleyball net wasn't put up just yet but I think because it's opening season. The ducks onsite were too cute. They liked to walk around the campsite and had no problem coming right up to you. Lots of areas to go fishing. The mountain views are breathtaking! Since we came early in the season, it was still quiet. I would love to return during the summer months when it is busy and the rafts are available to rent for the river. Speaking of river, the water was so clear and peaceful to hear at night! As far as safety, I am a single mom and totally felt safe at night! "I am so jealous of your trip, it looks awesome there" is the reaction I got from my Instagram posts! Some have already booked their vacations here. Overall, a great experience! We can't wait to return!

We had an amazing weekend in Rainbow 3. Everything was clean and the owners were easily accessible for contact. This cabin was the perfect size for our group and we’re already talking about coming back.

great trip

this was a very enjoyable trip. IT was so much fun having our first big snow event while staying. It is beautiful . the river is so beautiful and mountains. Dogs were happy. We want to go back again. but the queen bed was not a good bed it sagged and we could only sleep one in it, but it was worth it to get such a terrific trip.
