Great Stay in Quiet Cabin next to Stream

Very nice clean cabin set back from main roads. Quiet with the only the sound of the small stream next to cabin. Set back from main road about a mile, but easy access.

We had an absolutely amazing time. There were so many thoughtful aspects put into the property from things you may have forgotten to things to do. It was so peaceful and homey. Everything was spotless and clean. We will be back for a summer trip. The snow we got to see was the cherry on top of the trip.

Weekend Heaven

The cabin was beautiful, clean, and just what we were hoping for. The seclusion makes for great star gazing and animal watching, I was fortunate to have my coffee on the porch while watching deer. The wood fireplace was probably my favorite part. We definitely plan on using the cabin more in the future. Dinah was a fantastic host and was easy to contact/communicate with!

Golden Needle in a haystack

There were many to choose from but somehow I hit the jackpot when I chose this one. This gem is so well appointed. Every detail was taken into account and clearly thought out. I didn’t want to leave and I’m already planning my return.

About the host

Hosted by Dinah Mitchell

I grew up in Pendleton County and presently resides at Sugar Grove, WV. I am married and have two daughters and a son.

Why they chose this property

The property joins my mothers's homeplace. I have many fond memories spending time visiting my grandfather. In the early 1900’s there were two Lumber camps on the property. It's a place of peace and comfort listening to the creek and watching nature.
