The cabin is nestled next to a running creek in a beautiful area of WV. It is very clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is available. The rocking chair front porch is especially nice to relax on in the evening and for morning coffee. The cabin is conveniently located to all the areas attractions and is a great place to stay if exploring what WV has to offer. The host is very communicative and responsive. I highly recommend the cabin if planning a stay in the area.

gorgeous place up in the woods. you wont see a neighbor or traffic. nice little brook out back with an excellent sound. Front porch rockin' chairs were a favorite. Franklin WV is 4 miles away with a few restaurants and groceries if you care. Kitchen was great and had all the necessary things. turn off all the lights and step outside at night and it is pitch black except for the stars. WIFI was very handy and TV had Samsung streaming apps.

Beautiful cozy little cabin, amazing night skies, and thoughtful amenities provided by the host. We were provided with thorough directions and offered the option of an earlier check in time as well.

Cute and quaint remote cabin! Very private. Our kids loved the creek. Cabin was clean and well stocked (I didn't even need the extra toilet paper I packed). Cabin has both indoor and outdoor games in the hall closet and on the porch. I would suggest arriving the first time in the daylight as GPS doesn't find this address. Dinah provided written directions from the Amoco station that took us right to the cabin. The host was great! Our kids left an Amazon Fire tablet behind (it had gotten kicked under the couch). Dinah found it and contacted me a few hours after we checked out. She mailed the tablet to me! What honesty and great customer service.

This place is absolutely delightful! We loved the privacy, and proximity to parks and mountain trails. It is right next to a gurgling stream and has a great setup for a bonfire. The interior has everything you could need for a fun, cozy vacation.

Welcoming and cozy cabin

We loved our stay at this cabin. The property is very clean and has lots of little touches that make it homely and welcoming. The sound of the creek next to the cabin immerses you in nature. It is well connected to US Route 33, but far enough so you don't hear the sound of cars. Perfect getaway to disconnect and be in nature.

Love the location nestled in the woods, the quiet brook burbling past the firepit, the homey pinewood interior, the fully stocked kitchen, the delicious jam and cookies gift. We stayed two nights while climbing Nelson Rocks and wish we had stayed longer. Thanks so much for your hospitality...if I owned a cabin like that, I'd never leave!

The Perfect Cabin!

Everything about the cabin was great! Its beautiful, neat, comfortable and clean. Sitting on the front porch drinking coffee in the morning listening to the creek and we saw a family of deer on several days. Nothing bad to say about our experience here. Will definately be back!
