Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this peaceful riverside spot along the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River, just minutes from Elkins, because it offers the perfect blend of serene nature and convenient small-town charm. The cabin sits in a quiet, rural area at the edge of the vast Monongahela National Forest, where the rushing river provides a constant, soothing soundtrack and world-class trout fishing is literally steps away.

What I enjoy most is waking up with coffee, relaxing on the screened porch listening to the water, and feeling completely unplugged yet close to everything. A quick drive takes you to charming downtown Elkins with its arts scene, scenic train rides, breweries, and festivals—or deeper into the forest for hiking and wildlife spotting. It's true Almost Heaven: secluded, beautiful, and full of adventure without the crowds!

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.
