Wildwood cabin at Paradise in the Woods on the Buckhannon River
3/4 mile long driveway to your haven in the woods. Located next to Paradise Cabin at Paradise in the Woods. Cabin is all new and ready for the 2021 rental season. Cabin has downstairs game room with pool table. Downstairs also has one king bedroom and bathroom with laundry. Main level has 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining and deck. Easy walking path to secluded swimming area (there are 2 swimming areas to accommodate 2 cabins on property) There are fire pits at the cabin and by the river so you can build a fire and roast smores with your crew. Swim, fish, raft, hike, or just relax on the front deck and enjoy the wildlife.
Cabin sleeps up to 9 in 3 bedrooms, two bedrooms on the main level and one downstairs.
The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils you would have in the comfort of you own home. There will be a starter of garbage bags and dishwasher tabs to get you started.
Please be aware that the driveway is long and steep in a couple places and is a bit rugged. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended but not necessary. Keep in mind that low sitting cars may drag going in and out the drive. (4-wheel/AWD is necessary in the wintertime due to snow)
The train tracks are active but the train does not have a regular schedule, it may run twice in one week and not again for a month. If it goes by once, you are likely to see it twice, it is a coal train, the cars go up empty and come back down loaded.
We are pet friendly (dogs only, fee required). You must clean up after your pet inside and out. Excessive pet hair on furniture or pet excrement (especially inside the cabin) may result in forfeiture of all or part of security deposit.

Weekend getaway
We love this property! I love the cleanliness of the cabin and the amenities. My husband and kids love playing in the river. We didn’t get to see a train this time, but hopefully next time. We all love this cabin and will be back!

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.

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

Nice secluded area.
Loved the river access. Did not care for the steps to the basement, they were too narrow. The rest of the house was nice and spacious.

Secluded Family Getaway
The house is very nice, the area is beautiful and very private and relaxing. We came with extended family (6 adults, 3 children) and had plenty of room for everyone. As everyone has mentioned, the stairs can be challenging, but are not unmanageable. Some in our party preferred to walk the driveway up and down. The fire pit is great. I recommend ordering the wood. It was there, stacked, covered, and ready for us when we arrived. Cheryl is a great host, very helpful, and responded quickly to messages. The beach area is a short walk, but worth it. I would recommend life vests for littles as the water is deep and swift in some areas. However there are other areas that are calm and more shallow. Plenty of areas to fish as well. All in all, we had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone to do, if they wanted to do more than just relax in the peaceul surroundings. If I were to make any suggestions, I would say maybe a few extra towels for showering or cleaning up spills and a new set of tupperware as some was cracked or missing lids, but we really did not have any complaints at all. We had an amazing 7 nights. We would definitely go again.
