Coal Miner's Cabin - Near Winterplace, Beckley and Princeton
Over 2000 square feet to give your family or group room to spread out, located just 4 miles north on Rt. 19 from Winterplace Ski Resort. It's 4 miles to Glade Springs and 15 miles to Beckley. Easy access right along Rt. 19 with roadside and private off-street parking for up to four vehicles. The coal miner's cabin is set up with lots of sleeping spaces and a kitchen roomy enough to feed them.

Please be aware when booking on our website or VRBO there will be a $200 security deposit that will be pre-authorized on your credit card the day before you arrive and is released 7 days after you depart unless there is damage. This is a standard practice for vacation home rentals as there is no staff at the facility and this allows you to check in with an electronic door code and check out by just texting us and leaving the morning of your last day.
We highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance. Problems can arise in multiple ways and travel insurance can be a low cost guard against losing your money if you have last minute problems and have to cancel. In the past, some of our guests have obtained insurance by going to www.InsureMyTrip.com for details and to purchase. We did call the people at InsuraneMyTrip and they do have plans that will cover for Covid issues but there are several important steps and needs to be done shortly after making your first deposit. The plans are called "Cancel For Any Reason" CFAR. Check with your insurance agent before deciding what insurance to purchase. We DO NOT endorse any insurance in particular.
~Long Term Stays ~
For those looking to stay for more than a week, the following changes apply:
- We only allow up to 4 adults to stay
- No pets allowed
- We do not provide daily maid service but will provide clean linens weekly if requested.
Please contact us for further information.
WINTERPLACE SKI RESORT
Enjoy skiing or snowboarding right down the road. Winterplace offers skiing, snow-tubing runs and a snowboard terrain park. Winterplace Resort is conveniently located only 5 minutes away from I-77 at the Ghent exit.
NEAR BECKLEY AND WHITEWATER COUNTRY
During the spring, summer and fall don’t think there is nothing to do. We are close to all the fun that southern West Virginia has to offer. Whitewater rafting, kayaking, river tubing, rock climbing, hiking, horseback riding etc. All different kinds of outdoor fun are waiting for you to take advantage of. There are several state and national parks, like Little Beaver State Park, and Grandview National Park. We are also near Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. The temperature in the mountains of West Virginia remains cooler than a lot of the surrounding states, so this is great place to come cool off. Enjoy something different from the beach, take your family out into nature.
And for anytime of the year fun, Beckley has something for everyone. Of course, there are all your favorite fast food and sit down restaurants, as well as some home-grown restaurants that might become your new favorites. There is a wide variety of different shops. The Tamarack has everything you might want to see from our unique West Virginia craftsman. There are a lot of different antique shops and Crossroads Mall for those that might want something a little familiar. There is the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, where you can tour an actual coal mine and let the kids explore the coal mining town and the Youth Museum. During good weather, there are also trails, playground, basketball and tennis courts and a pool with a waterslide. There is also, Mountain State Miniature Golf which doesn’t have just mini-golf but offers a small coffee shop and an indoor climbing wall. Beckley is a great place to spend a few days exploring all it has to offer and it’s only a quick drive up Interstate 77.
