We had the blessing of meeting Trent and Tonja at their sweet cabin in the depths of a winter wonderland. The hot tub was in the best condition I’ve seen a renal hot tub - that was a bonus. The place is well stocked and fit our family of 5 wonderfully. We hope to visit again!
Beautiful, secluded spotlessly clean cabin in the woods of WV. Easy driving distance from Seneca Rock to Canaan Valley/Blackwater Falls. Absolutely stunning scenery.
Our hosts were by far the best ever. They offered to meet us right off the interstate to make sure we were able to drive into the property without any problems. They made sure we were settled in and answered any questions we had about the home and surrounding area. Very pleasant, warm, and welcoming.
We had the most relaxing stay. The cabin was absolutely perfect and sitting out on the porch watching and listening to the wildlife was beautiful. We went for a walk out the road which is through the woods and so pretty. Trent and Tonja made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be going back. The hot tub was great and everything was very clean. We slept really good too.
What a beautiful cabin! The accommodations were fantastic, and we had a wonderful stay. The listing is right - make sure you have four-wheel drive in the Winter months. The snow can be heavy, but the drive there is so worth it!

Thanks Meghann ! We look forward to your next visit.
The cabin was gorgeous. Super clean. Spacious. Would highly recommend staying here - it is beautiful in the photos, but even more beautiful in real life. We had a great visit!

Thanks Jen and a bigger thanks for caring for our property. We hope to see you again. Trent and Tonja
Beautiful cabin and Trent and his wife are wonderful people. The cabin was the cleanest we have ever stayed at. Trent met us to guide us to the cabin. It you want beauty and backwoods that’s what you will get. And have 4 wheel drive cause your back in the woods but loved every minute of our stay
The husband and I stayed at The Lazy Bear for a long weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Trent and Tonja have done a fabulous job with making their guests feel at home in their cabin. Super clean, super cute (lots of bears!), and very comfortable. We will absolutely be back for another long weekend in the colder months!
This cabin was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. We found a little spot of heaven on top of the mountain ❤️The hosts were very easy to keep in contact with, and were very kind. I can say with certainty that we will be returning to this hidden gem.
A little tricky to find, cell services spotty, but very charming house and beautiful location. Definitely bring a vehicle suited for rough roads, but completely worth the stay!

Timothy, thank you for choosing to stay at our property. As you know we offer to escort our guests on the "1.4 mile drive through the woods". Cell service is spotty throughout much of the mountainous regions of West Virginia, and that is why we have a land line and wifi at the cabin for our guests. Thank you for leaving our property in spotless condition. You are certainly welcome back anytime, or you may enjoy our sister property, The Hummingbird House, just off US 48 at Maysville WV.
We had such a wonderful time here! We’re from Deep South country but currently in a big city for work and wanted to get away to a secluded place out in the woods for Labor Day weekend, this cabin checked all of our boxes! Even more beautiful in person, lots of deer and birds out everyday, well equipped and cozy! Trent was such a kind host as well, even offered to meet us late at night to guide us in, as it can be difficult to navigate the timber roads but we managed with no problem. We definitely want to visit again when there’s snow on the ground
Comfortable & nicely furnished modern log home off the beaten path (high clearance vehicle best). Dolly Sods hiking very close and other attractions within 1 hour. Bluegrass music 7pm Thurs at Mullins in Moorefield my recommendation.
