Perfect Location!

We loved staying at Blackbear Cabin. It was the perfect size and location for our family cabin getaway. Super close to Pipestem, Bluestone, and Hinton. We were even able to drive a little further out to see the New River Gorge Bridge!

Gorgeous winter getaway!!

This home was absolutely beautiful, nestled away in the Pipestem State Park. It snowed the entire weekend and the host was gracious to give us great directions and assistance if anyone got stuck. Would recommend for a group ski trip to Winterplace!

Had a great Christmas gathering with family. The cabin was perfect in size. We had 6 adults and 4 kids with still room to spare and never felt crowded. The views from the cabin are gorgeous, wrap around porch lovely and Pipestem state park so close for a winter hike ! The owners are very attentive and were wonderful to interactive ! The only disappointment i had was the add for cabin had christmas decorations/ tree and there was not any.

The prefect place for a family Christmas retreat.

This cabin was very comfortable and cozy. Plenty of room for everyone. One of our grandchildren said: “I don’t want to leave, I like this cabin.” I think that says it all. We will be back again.

We absolutely adored our time here at The Retreat! The location was amazing (seriously, couldn’t be better!) and we loved everything about our stay! Personally, I loved being able to cook upstairs and watch the firepit from porch upstairs while the boys hung out next to it. Tammy was also was fantastic. Responded quickly to our questions. It was just a perfect stay! Thank you again.

Host was very welcoming. Visiting from Raleigh, NC. Accommodations were perfect. We had total of eight (6 adults, 2 kids) guests for the weekend. Very cold outside and nicely warm inside. We skied at Winterplace about 35 mins away. Also had dinner over at the lodge which was reasonably priced and good quality. With cold and snow outside we were not able to use the porch area unfortunately. Overall great experience and would strongly recommend to others considering a visit..

Family Fun!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful cabin for a family ski trip. Winterplace is a quick drive from the cabin. Kitchen is well stock for family meals at home versus eating out. Three levels are perfect for some quiet time or for hang out space for different age groups. The manager responded timely to all my wuestions about the cabin and activities in the area.
