Perfect stay for a New River Gorge Trip

We had a fantastic stay at this quiet and clean cabin! The property is absolutely beautiful, with a spacious backyard and a great grill setup for outdoor meals. We were treated to amazing wildlife views every day, which made the experience even more special. The kids especially loved fishing in the pond! The location is also perfect—peaceful and relaxing, yet just a short drive from New River Gorge National Park. A wonderful place to unwind and explore the area.

Very cool to see deer and turkey walking all around, nice to sit on the porch and hear the rain. Our two year old loved the pond, and the owners were very kind. House is down a gravel road a ways and glad to have all wheel drive.

We enjoyed a relaxing retreat that is truly an "almost heaven" experience. The cabin was just the right size for our group of four plus two dogs, and was neat, tidy and well-equipped. The hosts were kind and accommodating. The location was secluded just enough to give you the feeling of disconnect from the hustle and bustle, but was also only miles away from markets, restaurants and other conveniences. We went out every day to explore what the national park has to offer, but I would not have minded spending a whole day, just sitting on the front porch/deck, watching the local wild life. Highly recommend. If you are thinking of a more extended stay, please note that laundry-related amenities are not offered with this property. It was an only a three-night stay for us, so it was not an issue or a concern, but for longer stays, you will need to pack accordingly.

Beautiful property and house

Great family getaway with the dog. The property is beautiful and the house is lovely. Plenty of supplies. On the approach to the house you drive by some mobile homes in disrepair and scrap piles. Was worrisome on our first drive through but turned out fine. Owners live in the house right next to the cabin which surprised me but they're vernice

What a peaceful and beautiful mountain getaway!

My wife and I loved this beautiful mountain cabin getaway! We brought our two dogs and it was perfect for us. The couch and living area is super cozy and comfortable. The backyard is awesome and really wonderful for dogs because it’s enclosed and also has a great fire pit for enjoying the beautiful night sky. We saw bald eagles, deer, and turkeys while we were there all around the cabin. It’s a very relaxing country escape. We were able to explore the new River Gorge national Park conveniently for the four days we were there. Thanks for the great stay!

This was a great property, peaceful. In the morning and evening we looked forward to seeing the deers! The owners have a trail in the back that is worth exploring if you don't want to go far. The location is great too. Highly recommend this cabin.

This is a wonderful cabin, it has a great view from the front porch the deer and turkeys wonder around and eat all day long. There is a fenced back yard with a deck and a camp fire area. The cabin was spotless. Overall a great place to stay.

Very peaceful retreat near NRG park

We had a great stay. The on-site owners were extremely respectful. The location was close to the park locations while still feeling remote and peaceful - we woke up most days to +4 whitetail deer and the sound of bullfrogs. Great location and dog friendly. Would recommend.

Backwoods Retreat

If you’re looking for off the beaten path, this is it! Very peaceful and lots of wildlife. Owners are on the property but you hardly ever see them. And when you do they are nothing but helpful & friendly. It’s a bit of a drive to some of the area parks and attractions but well worth it for the tranquility that this rental offers.
