The cabin is nestled next to a running creek in a beautiful area of WV. It is very clean and comfortable. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is available. The rocking chair front porch is especially nice to relax on in the evening and for morning coffee. The cabin is conveniently located to all the areas attractions and is a great place to stay if exploring what WV has to offer. The host is very communicative and responsive. I highly recommend the cabin if planning a stay in the area.

Cute and quaint remote cabin! Very private. Our kids loved the creek. Cabin was clean and well stocked (I didn't even need the extra toilet paper I packed). Cabin has both indoor and outdoor games in the hall closet and on the porch. I would suggest arriving the first time in the daylight as GPS doesn't find this address. Dinah provided written directions from the Amoco station that took us right to the cabin. The host was great! Our kids left an Amazon Fire tablet behind (it had gotten kicked under the couch). Dinah found it and contacted me a few hours after we checked out. She mailed the tablet to me! What honesty and great customer service.

About the host

Hosted by Dinah Mitchell

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

Alpha’s Log Cabin was named after my grandmother. The cabin is a peaceful place and anyone who comes will find serenity and peace.
