About this property

Mountaineer Cabin 1 - Hot Tub & Fireplace close to New River Gorge National Park

Single-story cabin 7 miles from New River Gorge Bridge in a secluded wooded area. This charming 2-bedroom cabin sleeps 6 with two queen bedrooms, a sleeper sofa, & full bathroom. Full kitchen with open living room. Amenities include private hot tub, grill (propane & charcoal), fireplace, and outdoor fire pit. Front deck has patio swing and rocking chairs. 10-minute drive to Adventures on the Gorge (AOTG), 12 minutes to downtown Fayetteville, & 25 minutes to ACE Adventure Lake.

Our cozy, quaint cabins include two bedrooms with a queen bed and sink with mirror in each. Living room area has pullout couch and multiple chairs with a 50in smart TV. There is one full bathroom in the unit. We provide towels and linens. Shampoo, conditioner, & body wash is provided. The living room & kitchen area are open with a dining table perfect for groups of 4-6. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, and basic cooking utensils. Basic cleaning supplies are provided under the kitchen sink. Each cabin has internet, air conditioning, & parking right beside unit.

Cell phone service in this area may be spotty. We are located in rural West Virginia which has its advantages & disadvantages. Starlink has recently been installed in this cabin with better internet access being reported since installation.

Our property has 6 cabins with 2 tucked away completely and the remaining 4 in their own cul-de-sac (Mountaineer Cabins #1-#4). This cul-de-sac is wooded and secluded from the road, however, you will be within eye sight of some of our other cabins. We find them all to be fairly private. Cabins 1 & 2 may have minimal road noise.

We do not have a washer/dryer listed on our amenities, however, we do have a shared washroom with washer/dryer that guests may use when it is not in use by our cleaning staff. This room is used as a staging area by our cleaning staff to service all 6 of our cabins. During the day at least one of the washer/dryer units is typically in use by our cleaning staff, if not both. Both are generally open during the morning & evening. The wash room is located beside cabin 1, has two washers/dryers, and has laundry supplies that the guests may use free of charge. Please note no washers/dryers are in the cabins. The facilities are available as a curtesy to our guests.

Each cabin has its own private hot tub that is enclosed in a room attached to the cabin. We empty, clean, and refill our hot tubs after each stay. For this reason, there is a chance that the hot tub will not be up to full temperature immediately after checking in, especially if a guest checked out that morning. It generally only takes a couple hours at most but may be a little longer during the colder months. Please do not push hot tub buttons attempting to heat it quicker. Hot tubs have many locks (kid,eco etc…). You may lockout or shutdown the heating process by pushing the wrong button.

Cabin 1 has a real fireplace. All of the cabins have an outdoor fire pit area with a picnic table. Firewood is not provided but is sold at Walmart, Kroger, Lowe’s and the Exxon station by I19. Each cabin has both a propane grill & charcoal grill on the front porch. Propane is included but charcoal is not. Additional propane tanks can be found at our shared washroom area in a closet next to the entry door.

We do allow well-behaved, small-medium sized dogs (50 pounds or less) for a $50.00 additional cleaning fee. No cats. 2 dogs maximum. Guests are expected to dispose of their dogs waste before leaving. There is an outdoor trashcan near the walkway of the cabin. All pets must be listed on the reservation when booking and housebroken. Failure to include your pet in the reservation will result in fines. Guests will be responsible for any damages caused by their pets.

Our cabins are less than 10 minutes away from the newest National Park! The New River Gorge offers world class whitewater, rock climbing, mountain biking, ziplining, hiking, fishing, bird watching, and more! The gorge provides some of the most beautiful scenery on the east coast. Fayetteville West Virginia, voted top 10 coolest small towns in America, is a short 15 minute drive from the cabins and has lots of great local restaurant options. Our welcome guide includes food and activity recommendations during your stay.

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary/birthday trip, we also brought our two dogs. Overall, had a wonderful experience! The cabin was beautiful and very well maintained. The only things I would want others to be made aware of was that it is somewhat close to a main road, so the road noise during the day can be a little loud. At night it quiets down a bit, but if you’re wanting something very secluded and private, this might not be it. Also, the cabins are a bit close together, so again, if you’re looking for being really secluded/private, this may not be it for you. Otherwise, it was a beautiful cabin with your own private hot tub, big front porch with a nice porch swing and rocking chair, fire pit, and grills. The inside is a beautiful log cabin with very cozy ambiance and a fireplace. Communication with the owner was great. Very responsive and helpful, provided directions for the cabin and even provided good suggestions for things to do / places to eat. Took some of their suggestions and it was super helpful! They even offered us early check in/check out with no additional charge (I didn’t even have to ask), which I feel is rare to find and was honestly a huge bonus for us. We were able to get into the cabin early which was super helpful for us instead of having to drive around waiting for check in. Wish more Air B&B’s would do this, so thank you for offering this! Gave me an immediate positive experience! Overall, my husband, myself and our dogs loved the cabin!

A charming cabin!

The cabin was perfect for my family's needs. We loved leaving the front door open and listening to the birds singing as the rain fell. The front porch swing was a delight, and the proximity to the trails and gorge were excellent! Paul was very gracious when my inability to unlock the house turned out to be my error. We definitely would stay again!

Double Booked that ended up great!

Somehow I ended up double booked with another couple but the property owner stepped up and resolved it quickly. The property was exactly what I was wanting. Hot tub was great. Rooms were big enough but not to big. Definately had the little cabin in the woods feeling, which was exactly what I was looking for. Would highly recommend!

Exactly what we were looking for!

We traveled from Ohio to kayak on the Gorge and hike with our dog. The cabin was perfect for us! It was clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen, was close to food and activities, wifi worked well, and the hot tub really set it off! We also really liked all the games there. The traffic noise didn’t bother us at all. There were people in the other cabin close to ours and we didn’t see or hear them the entire time. It’s as secluded as you can get if you want the city within close driving distance.

Not cozy

The cabin experience was awful. The beds were atrocious and we could not sleep as a result. The towel racks were all moldy and there were mouse traps hidden around the cabin. The hot tub was covered in spiders and the temperature was not easy to control. Importantly, it is on a main highway with loud trucks usuing their brakes regularly, so nothing about the experience was tranquil. I never give bad reviews unless it feel necessary to warn other potential guests to.not stay here.
