We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Backwoods Retreat. The house was perfect and comfortable and dog friendly. We loved the peacefulness and solitude of the property grounds. Being able to view the wildlife from the front porch while drinking a cup of coffee was a wonderful bonus. Mike and Deanna are wonderful hosts and have done a fantastic job in making their guests feel welcome. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

Lovely setting away from everything, but close enough that we could easily visit the New River Gorge and other local places. Really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the wild turkeys and deer, fishing in the pond, and hiking up into the woods. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely home in the mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed oyr stay at this delightful home, surrounded by mountains and wildlife. The home was perfectly comfortable, abd welcoming to our two dogs. We loved the daily deer and turkey visits, playing cornhole , smores, and making memories. The location is just a shirt drive from the national park and is a great place to relax after adventuring in the park.

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property! The house is super clean and comfortable, with everything you could need. Sitting on the front porch while watching the deer, hummingbirds, and butterflies was a highlight...so tranquil! The location is great-convenient to all the attractions at New River Gorge National Park, yet extremely peaceful, quiet, and secluded. Mike and Deanna are lovely people and excellent hosts! We highly recommend this property -especially to those who appreciate the beauty and solitude of nature!!

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.

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!

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.
