About this property
Muskie-Lounge River Retreat! Secluded getaway.
Come spend a weekend, week, or more at the River Retreat! Our secluded cabin is situated along the Buckhannon River. We are conveniently located 2 miles from the Hampton boat launch, 3 miles from Upshur County Trails and Recreation Park, and 6 miles from downtown Buckhannon. The space is comprised of 2 bedrooms, a large living area, 2 bathrooms, dining/kitchen area, patio, balcony, and fire pit. Secluded Riverfront Property on Best Muskie River in the State!
The space
The Muskie-lounge River Retreat boasts a beautiful rural view in all seasons. Enjoy the peaceful woods, firepit, or fishing the Buckhannon River. The section of river bordering the property is known for being prime muskellunge territory. Within a short drive are the Hampton boat launch, Upshur County Trails (for biking, hiking, frisbee golf, and more), WV Wildlife Center, and Fidler Mill.
If you're from out of town you may also want to consider exploring well-known attractions such as: Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (22mi), Stonewall Resort (31mi), Tygart Lake State Park (45mi), Seneca Rocks (65mi), Blackwater Falls (68mi), and Dolly Sods (72mi). Some of West Virginia's finest attractions, as well as our favorite restaurants, can be found in a brochure upon your arrival.
PLEASE NOTE:
-We frequently replenish the gravel in the driveway; however, it can still be difficult to navigate in the winter. We recommend a 4wd vehicle if the weather is icy.
-Cable and wifi are unavailable due to the cabin's secluded location in the West Virginia mountains. WE DO HAVE A HOTSPOT AVAILABLE On Site and plenty of dvds to choose from.
-Cell phone service in rural WV can be spotty at times; however, we have AT&T and get good service.
My wife's great grandfather originally built the Muskie-Lounge River Retreat as a hunting cabin. We have recently undergone adventure of transforming this cabin into our family home. We are frequently making renovations to create a more family friendly atmosphere while still maintaining the rugged mountain environment. We appreciate any thoughtful feedback you may provide.
