After coming to WV for years we fell in love with the state, my husband would say some day we want to buy a property and build a log cabin, We purchased this 4 acre lot in 2006, on the day our second grandchild was born, we still had 3 sons at home, we built a small bunk house , moved our camper on the property, dug a well , septic and electric installed. We have lots of good memories and great times with our kids and grandkids, now the rest of our kids are married and giving us more wonderful grandkids, in 2020 we started building the cabin, however as much as we loved a log home, we decided to do vinyl siding where exposed to the weather ,wood board & Batton under covered porches , trying to save us maintenance and the bore bees were bad. Our long awaited dream come true, and we would love to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it’s quiet and mostly vacation homes. Also close to the river .

What makes this property unique

Our family spends lots of time here, so it’s very well stocked, and lots to do if you enjoy the outdoors, cabin is big enough to stay indoors and read , play games, puzzles, or watch tv and movies. Very cozy and toasty warm indoors when it’s snowing. Beautiful surroundings, lots of birds deer and even saw a bear once.
