About this property

Papa Bear's Den!! “The perfect location to visit the trails”

Papa Bears Den is the Perfect Location to Visit the Hatfield and McCoy Trails offering access to not only one but two different trail systems (Devil Anse & Rockhouse)within a mile of the property! Devil Anse connects with a Third trial system (Buffalo) offering days of trials with no need to trailer to other locations! Relax on the porch or by the fire pits while cooking on the grills by a scenic creek! While here visit the gravesite or museum of Devil Anse, just a short walking distance away

We offer a fully stocked kitchen, which is equipped with stove, refrigerator, microwave, a regular coffee pot, and toaster. We also provide towels, washcloths, and hand towels in each bathroom, along with a couple rolls of toilet tissue. Our bedrooms each contain a flatscreen TV and provide you with queen size beds (linens provided). 2 of our bedrooms contain 2 queen size beds is each room. The 3rd bedroom contains a bunk bed with queen size mattress on the bottom, a twin on top, and a trundle underneath. This will provide our guests with a total of 5 queen beds and 2 twins. Our house also offers additional sleeping with 4 futon couches located in the living room.
Our outdoor area is a great place to sit & relax on the deck, enjoy the scenery of a beautiful stream of water and a waterfall in the rainy season or after a heavy rain. The creek would also be nice to wade in. There are 2 fire pits, 2 grills and 2 picnic tables. Some wood and charcoal is provided (additional wood for the fire pit can be provided a donation would be appreciated but not required).

Property was great, in a nice location to fit my f450 and gooseneck trailer. Inside was still decorated for Christmas which was nice. The stream in the backyard with fire pit made for a relaxing evening. Host was awesome. Will definitely be back

This has been one of the best vacation experiences of our life! Gary gets 1000 stars for how welcoming and informative he has been and thank you for the recommendations as well. Listen...if you want a trip filled with off road excitement look no further. We trailered to Bear Wallow only because didnt want that much hard top of newer tires. Literally everything else went right from this property. Everything we needed was here except the groceries we wanted. Convenient fuel 4 miles away woth more friendly folks. Plenty of room for multiple groups. We just had our favorite friends with us...3 of our furr babies! Mama Beagle even did 2 trails with us! Thank you again a d we have our go-to HM/Mingo county vacation stay now!

Words cannot describe how great the owner is. He was more than accommodating and gave us all the tips on how to get our trail permits for the trails. He even stopped by to make sure we were all good and didn’t have any questions. It was a mile down the road to two different trails and we could just drive our side by sides right to the trail my truck and trailer never left the driveway. I would stay here again when visiting the trails.

Perfect Location

The house is a great location to trail ride. Ample space for our group of 9. There was a hornet nest on the side of the house but Gary was quick to take care of it. We would stay here again.

The inside of the cabin is adorable and they have thought of your every need. It is comfortable and well stocked.We walked up the trail leading to the Hatfield Family Cemetery, and visited the museum as well A lot of WV history in such a small museum. The Lady running the store/museum was very nice and very happy to answer all of our questions about the Hatfield and McCoy feud.She had much interesting information being a direct descendent to Devil Ance Hatfield.

Host goes out of his way!

The Host (Gary) goes out of his way to make sure you have EVERYTHING you need for an enjoyable stay! He communicates and asks if there is anything you need. The house was awesome and clean and was well stocked with EVERYTHING! When he says you don’t need to bring anything but your clothes, he really means it! I will definitely return! Thumbs up!

Great location to ride HMT

Very convenient location, close to Rock House and Devil Anse systems. We had a power outage our first night and Gary stopped in to check that we were okay and see if we needed more batteries for the provided lanterns. Just a note, when the power is out, the wifi obviously goes, too, and cell service though both Verizon and AT&T is nonexistent until you get closer to the gas station on 44 and 52. Well equipped cabin! It's nice to sit on the back porch and listen to the creek, or light a fire with the provided wood and roast some s'mores (chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows provided!) Bring your clothes and some groceries and you're set for your stay.

Best Cabin in WV

From the beginning to the end Gary the host communicated with us brilliantly. The cabin was just as we expected and the attention to detail is second to none from the amenities to the coal and firewood. We stayed for two nights and it was a real restful environment from driving from NC and then being on the UTVs the next day. We enjoyed cornhole and being with British friends they enjoyed the different surroundings and experience of the WV countryside. I would definitely recommend Papa Bears for anyone wanting a beautiful retreat after a long drive or an adventurous day in the trails and it is perfect for all age ranges.

Great house near trails and history

Papa Bear's Den was a perfect place for my husband and I to stay with our son and daughter in law. Plenty of space, comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and linens, great TVs and even outdoor areas to cook and visit. We loved sitting in the backyard listening to the river. Gary was a very responsive and friendly host and went out if his way to make our stay nice. He's put a lot of love and care into the house and it shows. I especially appreciate him not being stingy with things like TP, trash bags, dish soap, etc. It was so refreshing to not have to worry about those little conveniences. If you're interested in history, you can walk to the Hatfield Mccoy Museum or to the cemetery Devil Anse is buried in (it is a little hike uphill to the cemetery). If you're into trail riding, this is the perfect location. If you don't mind trailering, Cabwaylingo and Warrior (we parked in Welsh) trails are an hour away. Buffalo and Devil Anse trail heads are less than 30 mins away. All of those trails are easy enough for new riders. If you're a slightly more advanced rider, you can pick up Rock House and Devil Anse blue trails (slightly harder) just 5 minutes away from the house. The house has plenty of room for parking which we've found is very rare in this area. Our Ram Megacab and 32 ft trailer fit just fine with room to spare. Overall, this was a great stay. We highly recommend to anyone...especially those wanting to visit the Hatfield Mccoy Trails. Can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Starr

Host profile image
My name is Gary Starr I have lived in southern WV since I was a child. I am now retired and excited to share a property I am blessed to own with others so they can enjoy a place I have called home for many years!

Why they chose this property

When you walk into the back yard or set on the back porch or set around the fire pit and hear the soothing sound of the creek that runs behind the house you will
Experience that I love most. My
Biggest smile came when I read in our visitors journal where someone wrote my kids “caught their first crawfish!” When I was a boy I caught hundreds of crawdads and being able to share that experience with other young children puts joy in my heart!

What makes this property unique

I have labeled the property as “the perfect location to visit the Hatfield & McCoy trails!!” The property is unique because it offers the opportunity to ride on not just one but two trail systems (Devil Anse & Rockhouse ) within a mile ride from the Property. Devil Anse joins up to the Buffalo trail system and Rockhouse joins up with the Brave Heart trail system offering days and days of riding without needing to trailer to find new trails. Also BearWallow is only a 13 miles (ATV friendly roads) away.
