What makes this property unique
This stretch of riverfront offers privacy that is hard to come by as other areas have developed with camping parks and cabins. It’s perfect for fishing enthusiasts as it sits along the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River, which is a notorious, heavily stacked stream. The location adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest offers tons of opportunities to get outside! Proximity to the ski-resorts (30 miles to Canaan/Timberline, 50 miles to Snowshoe/Silver Creek) offers the option of downhill skiing too for day trips. Within a short drive is Elkins, known as a quirky, eclectic town where you will find interesting shops and restaurants in addition to the conventional retail outlets and grocery stores.
