Close to hiking, kayaking, trout streams, and the Monongahela National Forest; just 8 miles to Snowshoe Resort in a calm and secluded setting. Walk down to the creek on your private hiking trail, relax around the fire pit, have a meal outside on the deck and enjoy the cool breeze - it’s all there for a perfect mountain getaway. Our main house is nearly half a mile away - you will enjoy total quiet and privacy. Note there are stairs to enter. Our garage is available for locked indoor mountain bike or ski equipment storage during your stay; $50 fee per stay and must be arranged in advance.

The space
Our cabin is fully private (there are no visible neighbors and our main house is 1/2 mile away on the property).

Guests enjoy the entire living area and raised deck (the first floor is a garage).

Guests enjoy a full kitchen (including dishwasher) stocked with coffee and coffee pods, cooking oil, salt & pepper, cooking utensils, BBQ utensils, and pots and pans. We also have kid safe plastic plates, bowls, cups, and silverware.

The kitchen includes both a Keurig (coffee pods included) and a drip coffee maker for your convenience. The living room has a 50” smart TV.

Guests also enjoy two private bed rooms and a loft area upstairs. Both bedrooms and the loft have hotel quality queen size beds (3 queen size beds total) with usb charger stations, bed and bathroom linens, hotel mattresses and pillows. One of the bedrooms has a smartTV.

The cabin and Pocahontas County are located in the National Radio Quiet Zone around the Green Bank Observatory and so there is no cell service. Most guests can connect to the FAST fiber optic Internet WiFi (not satellite) which is very reliable for calling over WiFi and texting.

Mountain and forest views from every window. The creek is just a short walk down the hill (and has water in it except when it is very hot and dry).

We’re only 15 minutes (8 miles) to Snowshoe Resort, but in a very calm and secluded location.

Other things to note
Our contractor keeps tractor used to plow snow etc is located in the garage below the cabin so we may access that from time to time.

Our driveway is kept plowed regularly in the winter, but due to the mountain location AWD or 4WD vehicles are recommended in the winter months. We do not give refunds for power/heat/ water/internet outages.

Very important is to download directions to your GPS app before leaving as cell service can be spotty on the way. We're happy to help with directions if needed!
