Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MyFairLAdy Jul 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a great time at Cheryl’s cabin! The river (across railroad tracks and through a small strip of trees- about 2 min walk) is beautiful! We tried to tube the river but it was a bit low in areas. We enjoyed it nonetheless - down river is remote and scenic. There are a few swim holes near the cabin (about 4 to 5 feet deep in spots) that are beautiful with clear water, sand/rock beaches, and large rocks cropping out of the river bed. We hiked around the property looking for small caves, and along the railroad tracks. Made a visit to the Wildlife Center (fun and a beautiful walk). We went to Helvetia, a tiny town founded by Swiss craftsmen, that has a general store, a cheese shop, wood furniture/art shop, local honey store and a Swiss restaurant. Be aware- the restaurant/ stores have limited operating hours - most are only open from Wednesday to Saturday, so plan ahead. The town has a picturesque stream, a bridge landscaped with flower boxes, and other small garden areas throughout. My family hiked the historical trail and a dog named Buck, who lived in the house next to the general store, walked the 2.8 mile trail with us and even showed us where to go a few times. He was such a great guide! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed! We made hotdogs and smores on the fire pit. The night sky was amazing! We lost power for a few hours due to work being done, but Cheryl was at the cabin within minutes to let us know. NBD. It was a great stay and very family friendly! ![A short way down river from the cabin](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2ea4681a-ac76-4516-a07e-704d8d3cc6e8-1753424394157.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![River near cabin](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9551ff2f-4233-408d-9f2d-5ec2de1b4127-1753424384941.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Buck guiding the way at the Helvetia historical trail! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/24f82adc-e29b-4238-a747-9789c9e0cb14-1753424384227.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Helvetia ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fb4bb4e7-9f38-4608-92f4-3e10fb047531-1753424384798.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MyFairLAdy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Z. Sep 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Seclusion We were there in early August of 23\. The cabin is beautiful and in a beautiful setting, but it is very secluded. 40 mins or so to any gas or groceries so plan accordingly. The road in is pretty rough, but we made it with some non 4 wheel drive vehicles. The cabin has lots of great amenities and the owners are very attentive and friendly. The AC died a couple of days after we got there and they showed up almost immediately with window units. They got the AC fixed within a couple of days. The river is close and very walkable and was fun and/or relaxing depending on what you want to do. There is a sandy beach like area to hang out. We took inflatable tubes and floated down a mile or two then walked the railroad tracks back which go right by the cabin. Only 1 train went by the entire week we were there so train noise wasnt an issue. Even though it is remote, the wifi worked great all week. There are several parks less than an hour away with great trails and a wildlife center 15 mins away where you can see some cool animals. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful place in the woods ##### Chris Z. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom S. Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Secluded Piece of Heaven! We LOVED our week-long stay at this cabin in French Creek! The property description was spot on, so there were no surprises for us upon arrival. Asking any remaining questions or concerns up front prior to booking or your arrival is vital, and this host (Cheryl) was wonderful in both her communication and responsiveness to every question asked! Pretty much anywhere you stay in WV is going to be 20min or more from your typical shopping options and chain restaurants. Growing up in the hills of Appalachia, we judge "how far" some place is, by the time it takes to get there (not the distance). Read the description and Cheryl gives you an idea of how much time it will take to get to French Creek where there is a Dollar General and a diner (Bucks was a favorite), or Buckhannon where you can find a Kroger and a several small town shops and eateries (we could live on CJ Maggie's, very extensive menu!). The driveway to this cabin and it's bigger sister, is about 1/2 mile long and very rough - similarly as rough as the gravel road leading to the driveway. I don't consider this anything Cheryl can do much about...if you've ever lived in the hills/mountains, you know the difficulty with maintaining a smooth gravel road or driveway, especially one clinging to the side of a mountain next to a ravine. Cheryl's description is up front about this, so it should not be a knock on her rating if you choose to stay here. The road to seclusion is rarely paved, else it would be crowded :-) ##### Tom S.

Oct 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Almost Heaven On the wall of the Wildwood Cabin at Paradise in the Woods is a poster that says, "And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." Our experience there provided the perfect opportunity to detach from our workaday world, listen to the river, and watch the leaves fall. Cheryl was an incredible host, providing detailed directions to the property and responding quickly to my pre-visit questions. The cabin was very clean and bright and loaded with amenities to make our stay comfortable. The decor was "woodsy" and complemented the mood of the property. There was ample room for our group of 5 adults to spread out for "me time" and gather together for meals, games, and camp fires. There are a few things for which travelers must prepare: The private "driveway" to the Cabin is long and narrow, a combination of dirt and gravel, with lots of ruts. Winter visitors are advised to bring their four-wheel drive vehicles. The circular stairway leading from the main floor to the ground floor is very narrow and almost impossible to navigate while carrying luggage or munchies; however, it is possible to go outside and around to access the area. The water smells of sulfur. It is soft and fine for showering, but we recommend bringing drinking water. Finally, the Cabin is truly out in the middle of nowhere, and there's little to do in the "nearby" towns (besides the Insane Asylum), so plan to stay in and enjoy the togetherness. We did. ##### Melinda F. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katerina C.
