About this property
Stay WATERFRONT. Stay CHEAT RIVER LODGE
BOOK NOW to lock in your vacation prices ! 'WaterFRONT' properties will soon experience significant increase in flood insurance rates that will unfortunately have to be passed on to patrons.
When you stay at Cheat River Lodge's SWINGING VINE CABIN, rest assured you will satisfy your affinity for water as the river is just steps from your doorway. The SWINGING VINE CABIN is an authentic log structure with cabin charm inside and out. This premier property is situated on on 5 acres with a great beach for kids. It shares 5.5 riverside acres with our BIG POPLAR cabin (VRBO listing #510827) that are private and heavily wooded. Adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest.
Hot tub. Pet friendly. Nearby dining & shopping
Nothing better exists for those needing access for fishing, kayaking, and tubing. as its at your front door. It's a quick 10 minute drive to the Greenbrier-Durbin scenic train depot in Elkins. Hike & X-County ski the Monongahela National Forest. 23 miles to downhill skiing.
SWINGING VINE's cathedral ceiling, log walls, glass fronted wood stove w/stone hearth combined with the personalized linens and tasteful décor will provide a warm welcome. A gentle access to the river, a large lawn, a step in shower stall, and a main floor just a few steps up from ground level make the Swinging Vine undoubtedly the best choice for pets, children, or elderly persons.
Two bedrooms on the main, each with a queen bed.. The kitchen is fully equipped with all of the essentials, to include dinnerware that matches the décor. Remodeled to provide all of the modern appointments you would expect to find in a charming mountain getaway, it includes electric baseboard heat, air conditioning, cable TV. Additional fans, a charcoal barbecue grill, and picnic table are provided.
As a CHEAT RIVER LODGE property guest, you will benefit by our 40 years in the hospitality industry. We are NOT a remote property management company. We have an 'on premise' office location that is staffed 24/7 to meet your needs.. All of our properties are RIVERFRONT, and are listed with VRBO. If you need additional accommodations nearby you may also like our RHODODENDRON cabin (#98664), and BIG POPLAR (#510827). Coming soon on VRBO is our LODGE (#1507732), TREEHOUSE (#987137), and STONE HOUSE (#987138)
Gorgeous views await at our SWINGING VINE cabin. Let your vacation begin here, where you will be greeted by a warm hot tub and fresh linens on the beds.

Riverfront. Hot Tub. Log Cabin. Private. . Full staff. Hot tub maintained DAILY by professionals.
What makes this property unique
This stretch of riverfront offers privacy that is hard to come by as other areas have developed with camping parks and cabins. It’s perfect for fishing enthusiasts as it sits along the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River, which is a notorious, heavily stacked stream. The location adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest offers tons of opportunities to get outside! Proximity to the ski-resorts (30 miles to Canaan/Timberline, 50 miles to Snowshoe/Silver Creek) offers the option of downhill skiing too for day trips. Within a short drive is Elkins, known as a quirky, eclectic town where you will find interesting shops and restaurants in addition to the conventional retail outlets and grocery stores.
