About this property
The Palace of Dreams – Secluded Cabin on 68 Private Acres
Tucked away on 68 private acres of untouched forest in Princeton, West Virginia, The Palace of Dreams is a secluded cabin retreat designed for guests who crave peace, nature, and a touch of magic.
Originally built by my grandmother and father in the 1960s—with stones pulled from the nearby creek—the cabin has deep roots and family history. In July 2025, we completed a full renovation, blending the property’s rustic charm with thoughtful updates and modern comfort.
Recent upgrades include:
• Full interior repaint for a clean, refreshed feel
• All new furniture and room-by-room redesign
• High-quality bedding, linens, and curtains throughout
• Brand-new kitchen appliances, cookware, dishes, and silverware
• A cozy new coffee bar setup
• A refreshed fire pit area for stargazing and evening hangs
• Professional cleaning team hired to ensure top-to-bottom care for every stay
The cabin’s layout is simple, warm, and full of character—perfect for couples, solo travelers, creatives, or small families. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch, exploring forest trails, or unwinding by the fire, this is a place to slow down and reconnect.
🌲 What to know: Access to the property is via a half-mile gravel driveway that winds through the forest. It’s part of what makes the place feel so private and peaceful—but guests should be comfortable driving on rural roads. The cabin is surrounded by woods and wildlife, with strong cell service and reliable Wi-Fi. While the Wi-Fi generally works great, rare outages can happen due to the remote location.
If you’re looking for a stay with soul—not just a place to sleep—The Palace of Dreams welcomes you. Come experience the peace, the privacy, and the care we’ve put into every detail.

About the host

Why they chose this property
This land has been in my family for generations, so I didn’t choose it—it chose me. The property is nestled deep in the Appalachian hills of southern West Virginia, surrounded by forest, wildlife, and quiet. There are no crowds, no traffic—just space to breathe and connect with nature.
What I love most is how it feels like a world of its own, while still being just a short drive to historic downtown Princeton, local restaurants, antique shops, hiking trails, and river adventures. There’s a raw, grounded beauty here that’s hard to describe—but once you feel it, you get it.
This area is rich with Appalachian culture, history, and a deep-rooted connection to the land. It’s the kind of place where people wave when you drive by and time moves just a little slower. That’s why I’m here—and why I keep coming back.

What makes this property unique
The Palace of Dreams is a one-of-a-kind retreat tucked away on 68 private acres of Appalachian forest in southern West Virginia. Originally built by my grandmother and father in the 1960s—with stones from the nearby creek and no road, power, or plumbing—it began as a simple family homestead.
Today, it’s been thoughtfully restored into a peaceful getaway where guests can unplug, recharge, and reconnect with nature. The cabin carries deep roots: my grandmother was a Native American healer, and many visitors say the land still holds a calming, almost sacred energy.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a solo retreat, a creative hideaway, or a quiet spot to share with family or friends, this space was designed to help you feel grounded, inspired, and at ease. It’s rustic, real, and full of soul—just like the land it sits on.
