First off John is an amazing host- responsive, informative, direct, helpful. The house itself is beautiful, quiet, enormous, with all the amenities you could need. It's rustic ambiance and furnishings with a kitchen loaded with modern appliances and really anything you might use. Everything was incredibly clean- rooms, bathrooms, kitchen and the property itself so well tended to- which there is a lot of!There's hiking right out the back door and tons to do within 20-30 minutes. It's a special place to appreciate the beauty and your surroundings in sheer quiet- like hearing the wind blow quiet. If you appreciate this kind of stuff, you will be delighted as the house is so comfortable and spacious- it's makes it easy to get away. Thank you John! ##### sheera R.

It's tucked up at 4,000 feet in SE West Virginia, Far from civilization but not so remote that it's eerie feeling or tedious to get to "the world" when necessary. This is truly an off-grid place to disappear at and gain peace of mind and peace of heart. John is an excellent owner and VRBO Rep and cares deeply about this special home and location. I highly recommend experiencing West Virginia Bliss in the mountains.

John is a terrific host and it is clear that the Cranberry Lodge -- built by him, his wife and father -- is a labor of love. How very fortunate we all felt (12 of us) to get to stay there and enjoy the beautiful mountains, the serene atmosphere, the cool nights and the isolation. Wow!! We could not recommend it more highly. The only challenge is that wifi and cell servife is spotty, but that leaves more time to enjoy the beauty. ##### Alex L. ### 8/10 Good #### Gregory J. Jun 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Great Views The views are breath taking and make the 15 minute driveway worth the drive! The lodge is beautiful, the pond is perfect, great bonfires, and views for days. Guests be warned though the WiFi is not what we were anticipating. We were told 2-3 streaming devices would work on the internet, sadly one device could barely open a page. We were downloading at 1.7 mbps. He informed us ahead of time that ATT has coverage at the lodge. We got some reception and were told there was a repeater to strengthen the signal. What we weren’t told is that the phone needs to sit directly below the repeater in order to work to make a hot spot. Overall we made it work, but I do not advise going if you intend on working remotely. The hottub also did not work. He was very clear up front that it was not a traditional hottub which we were ok with. The problem is there was a valve missing and the hottub couldn’t hold water. We mentioned it on day is one and sent pics but it was never fixed. On the last few days the septic tank also backed up flooding the basement with the backup. He was unable to get anyone up there to fix anything while we were there.... but the views! ##### Gregory J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### X B. Jul 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### More Amazing than the listing says! I did not realize the National Park was really in the backyard. We can hop on a trail right behind the backyard. It is also a trail maintained for mountain bikers, and we got to meet the folks maintaining the trail. Use MTB project app for that! We spent almost everyday swimming in the little pond. The kids loved finding newts in the pond. The view is phenomenal. We were there for 4th of July, and while super small and quiet, we could see about 5 different places doing fireworks that night, because your view is so expansive. The owner was just so amazing and attentive to details too! I also really enjoyed seeing all the off-grid stuff, and loved learning about it while I was there. The house is amazing, and so much room, skylights, lots of windows, just beautiful. There is also so much to do, we worried about that with our kids for a whole week, but the only times we left were when we were hiking on the trail in the backyard, which leads right to the nature museum/info center with live snakes, and lots of fun learning for the kids. Some of the things we brought to do weren't even opened, because we just didn't need it. The property was beautiful, well maintained, and just lovely. And the icing on the cake is having an owner who is so lovely and helpful, but we also didn't need the help, but we knew he was there. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture - amazing place!!! ##### X B. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa W.

CONS: My cousin was so very disappointed that the hot tub couldn’t be used after she spent so much time cleaning it. All of the joints were leaking, so it could hold enough water to run it. The driveway could use a few loads of gravel to fill in what the recent rains washed away. It’s pretty rough. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill T. Sep 18, 2018 #### Fantastic place! We spent a long weekend at the lodge (it was our second visit). The scenery is spectacular, and the hiking trails are excellent. The lodge is very spacious and comfortable. Great for families. ##### Bill T. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kaarthikraajan D. Aug 17, 2018 #### Amazing view! Great location to stay in WV, clean facility beautiful view!!! We had so much staying in this cabin for couple of days, we enjoyed small pond and trails around the lodge!!! I would surely recommend this place for my friends and family! ##### Kaarthikraajan D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Jonathan D. Aug 7, 2018 #### Spacious Delightful Secluded Retreat This is a great space in a beautiful location. While this rental is only for 22 people there is lots of space with four floors and an expansive property, there is room everyone to find a space of their own. The pond is a real treat, spring fed, with cool clean water beloved by salamanders. It feels special that the electricity is completely off the grid. The road up is pretty challenging so come prepared to stay up on the mountain for a couple of days. Cell service is nonexistent and the internet is spotty sometimes so keep the focus on the people you've gathered with. Still, it is worth a day trip over to Falls of Hills Creek and the owner is very helpful in providing information about the area. The hot tub is pretty DIY, but worth filling for a night sitting under the amazing stars. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes and pots and pans and the porch and fire ring make great informal gathering spaces. ##### Jonathan D. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill T. Jan 18, 2018 #### A + Our family of five spent six days in the house during a very cold winter week. The house and location are fantastic. The pictures do not do it justice. The owner was extremely helpful in providing guidance and suggestions by phone. We are looking forward to another visit. ##### Bill T.

Family was there August 2015 and returned September 2017. Whether you want to hang out on the deck and do nothing or be more adventurous and explore the National Forest and Greenbrier Trail, this place is perfect for a vacation with family and friends. ##### Frank G.

Jul 7, 2017 #### Peaceful, remote and phenomenally managed My group has stayed at the lodge 3 times now and we will keep coming back for years. This is a very special property adjoining the National Forest. If you like nature, solitude, tranquility and views this is the place for you. ##### David H.

My family takes a vacation every summer, and we have anywhere from 8-14 people that we need accommodations for. The Cranberry Mountain Lodge provided us with a wonderful space and had absolutely BREATHTAKING views. John was very helpful to our family, and was able to answer any questions we had. There is a humidifier that has been added in the basement, so any worries about musty rooms can be taken away. The Kitchen/Living area were huge and left us with plenty of room during the times we were in there. Multiple fire pits were available, along with firewood. We were able to see some wildlife on the trek up the mountain to the lodge which was amazing. The only downfall is the long drive up the mountain, but you would not be able to get a view like this house has without it! (just make sure to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle!) My family definitely loved our stay at the Cranberry Mountain Lodge!! ##### Brianna G. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spencer L. Sep 27, 2015 #### Fantastic escape for a guys weekend I organized a group of 11 guys to adventure to this oasis in the woods for a bachelor party and weekend of outdoor adventures. Nothing disappointed at all, and the accommodations, views, surrounding nature, and tranquility were absolutely perfect. This house truly has everything you need. Two fridges, tons of kitchen amenities, lots of dry wood, directions for every necessary power element, and the most stunning views of the West Virginia mountains we have ever seen. The drive up in the summer isn't too bad, we had low clearance cars that made it just fine. It rained all day our second day but we made the best of it and still hiked the trails behind the house. Rooms are plentiful and water pressure for showers is quite nice considering you are off the grid. All around 5-star experience. Would absolutely return again and can only imagine winter is even more fun. Don't miss this unique home! ##### Spencer L.

I brought a group of 9 friends for Labor Day weekend. John was incredibly helpful, and I couldn't ask for much more from an owner. The kitchen was impeccably stocked and there was plenty of seating and dining/living room. The view was out of this world, the photos don't quite do it justice. Highly recommended, and I hope to return soon! ##### Andrew D.

Even though it is a great distance from our home in Florida (800 miles), all 16 of us elected to return, and we will probably rent it again at some time in the future. It is hard to have quality time with children and grandchildren, but this affords it. We have been fortunate enough in our life to visit many beautiful places in the world, but none are more tranquil than this. The owners have made significant improvements to the property over the years, which make it even more accomadating. If you like relaxing, fellowship, hiking and nature watching, this is the place. It is an excellent place for large family gatherings. ##### Erick F. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron K. Jul 23, 2015 #### Wedding Day made by this location. Couldn't have been more happy I'm always weary about going to these sites without knowing the owners. This home was beyond what we were looking for. The view made our wedding that much better. The pictures we were able to get from the cabin and by the pond will make our memories for years to come exciting. John and Linda reached out multiple times to make sure things were going well. They had everything you could possibly need when staying somewhere which came as a surprise to me. My wife and I will stay here more in the years to come as well will our families and friends that stayed with us. Thank you again John and Linda for allowing our special day to be absolutely incredible we can't begin to show you how grateful we are. We would recommend this cabin to anyone thinking about staying here. ##### Ron K. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Beckley, WV](https://www.expedia.ca/Beckley-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h62910.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites Summersville / New River National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Summersville-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Summersville.h218301.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH](https://www.expedia.ca/Sandusky-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Sandusky-OH.h1183594.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Tru by Hilton Beckley](https://www.expedia.ca/Beckley-Hotels-Tru-By-Hilton-Beckley.h65379998.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonewall Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weston-Hotels-Stonewall-Resort.h892977.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott's Shadow Ridge I-The Villages](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Marriotts-Shadow-Ridge.h853695.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Four Seasons Retreat!](https://www.expedia.ca/Union-Hotels-Unique-Four-Seasons-Retreat.h18978132.Hotel-Information)
