Thank you Yael. This area has so much to offer in the way of outdoor activities. Its nice that you mention the ones that you particularly enjoyed. In contrast to our private location that is adjacent to the National Forest, restaurants and shopping are only 10-15 minute drive

Great winter weekend getaway!

We loved this cabin! Stayed for a weekend but would have loved it to have been a week here. The kitchen was equipped well and the hot tub on the deck overlooking the river was fabulous. We plan to come back this summer!

We loved this pet friendly cabin! Proximity to the water for fishing was absolutely perfect (steps off the back porch) and the view from the cabin is beautiful! Very peaceful location. Hot tub was a great additional feature, with the same great view of the water. Ample firewood provided for the wood burning stove for our weekend stay. Absolute only downside of this location would be that you are not able to have an outdoor fire.

This cabin is situated on 6 acres of huge awesome deciduous trees. They add to the privacy, but the leaves on the ground and the floating embers from the burning wood of campfires create a huge fire hazard for us.

Lovely place on the water!!

It was the much needed relaxing and quiet vacation we needed. Property manager, Roxy, and her team were extremely professional and shared lots of great information about the area. Our dog ****LOVED**** it. If you are looking for takeout, we highly recommend the white pizza and eggplant rollatini from Mama Mia’s in downtown Elkins. They are authentic!

The property was great! The only thing that we didn't like was the strong iron smell and taste in the water and that the Wi-Fi password didn't work. I could not get a hold of anyone in the office when I tried to call about the password.

We have someone at our office 24/7. This is where you picked up your keuy. Additionally, we monitor calls 24/7, howeve you must listen to the message in order to select the correct prompt for the call to forward to a staff person. It is neccesary for us to use this phone answering system becasue of the numerous robo calls we are receiving...and you certainly understand that if we answer a robo just one time....it opens the flood gates for many, many more. Yesterday we had 25 attempted robo contacts. Also,...good news...city water will soon be available...but then it will probably smell like chemicals :-/ Thanks for your comments,
