We welcome you to Mountain Laurel, a new 4000 sq ft, 4BR + office, 4 bath rustic modern cabin set on 8.5 private acres in Monongahela National Forest. And just 10 minutes from Timberline Ski Resort.
In our two years of welcoming guests we've received only 5-star reviews, and we feel this is a direct result of our dedication to delivering a premium experience to our guests across all aspects of their stay.
This is your opportunity for a private and luxurious mountain getaway. Come join us!
Walk directly off the property to over 100 miles of hiking trails in Dolly Sods, Canaan National Wildlife Refuge and the brand new 1400 acre Dobbin Slashings Preserve, drive 10 minutes to Timberline Ski Resort, or get on your bike and explore hundreds of miles of single-track trails, railroad grades, and dirt roads. Or, just relax in the deck loungers, sauna, or around the wood-burning stove.
At Mountain Laurel, we've also taken care to upgrade all the aspects of your stay, including premium linens and bath products, luxury furniture and mattresses, a cook-ready kitchen stocked with oils and spices, and even firewood for the winter. See below for a list of all the wonderful amenities we have to offer.
• Primary bedroom with a queen-sized bed, walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with soaking tub and walk in shower
• Two bedroom, one bath private suite with privacy pocket door. Each bedroom has queen-sized beds, and one includes a dedicated workspace

What makes Mountain Laurel special:
• Located at the end of the road and down a 100 yard driveway, you'll have the peace and quiet you desire in a forest home
• Eight and a half private acres

NOTES:
• In winter months 4WD/AWD is required
• NO PETS - We love dogs, we really do, but we have found it's nearly impossible to welcome pets and provide guests with a luxurious experience that meets our standards. We hope you will understand.

About the host
Hosted by Adam Goldsmith
We have been living in the DC area for the past 7 years and are still exploring. We drag our 8 and 5-year olds on hiking and biking adventures and bribe them with food.
Why they chose this property
We discovered the mountains of West Virginia during COVID lockdowns and immediately fell in love. In searching for a place to build a home, we discovered this unique 8.5 acre lot that offered direct access to Dolly Sods and Canaan National Wildlife refuge and knew it had to be ours.
Please make yourselves at home.
What makes this property unique
8.5 acre lot at the end of a road with a 150 yard driveway offers privacy and the necessary quiet to enjoy the forest.
Walk-off-the-property access to Dolly Sods and Canaan National Wildlife Refuge is unique, and we mean that in the strictest definition of the word - there is no other property that sits next to both trail systems.
