Very cozy cabin. We stayed a week and will definitely come back. Little restaurant at the bottom of the hill was nice. We pretty much saw everything to see plus more.
We came up from Charleston to get away for the weekend. Really enjoyed the size and remoteness of the cabin and the readiness of the fire pit and grill. The firewood for sale just up the hill was really nice too.
Loved the location in a more secluded area, though close to many outdoor activities and popular hiking paths. Absolutely cozy cabin with a fire pit outside that we used often during our stay.

Had a nice vacation at this cabin. My wife and I spent 5 nights. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. We are avid hikers and there is plenty of trails to visit. We added an extra day prior to our arrival and Cynthia handled it for us with no issues. She was pleasant to communicate with. Kent happened to stop by while we were on the porch. We had a pleasant conversation with him. I highly recomend this cabin for anyone who loves peace and quiet. We will return at some point.
This is a nice little cabin in the hills. Beautiful location. Just right for the two of us. It was nice and clean. Close to the places we wanted to visit. A great getaway location.
If you're headed to the Spruce Knob area, this cabin is right on the forest road that leads in there. Pretty easy check in, fairly cozy, the cabin is RIGHT by the road so be aware. Great place.

Beautiful Little Cabin - Wonderful Location
Great little cabin. The pictures don't do it justice, it seemed so much nicer in person. great location at the foot of Spruce Knob and right down the road to Seneca Rocks. This part of WV is a little slice of heaven.

Thanks for your review. We try to have good pictures but we are happy you found it better than expected. Hope you can come again sometime!
Small Cabin with just the essentials. Located on the forest road up to spruce knob which is worth the drive prior to sunset.
Clean place. Nice local diner reaturant down the hill.
Stayed in this cute and clean cabin so we could explore the area around it. The cabin was awesome and everything we needed was there. We saw Spruce Knob, went on the hunt for a close up view of the wind turbines, saw Seneca Falls and found all sorts of things to photograph in the beautiful countryside. This cabin and area are awesome!

Thank you so much for coming and enjoying this beautiful area!
Cabin is perfect for exploring this area of West Virginia. We took a short drive over to Seneca Rocks and hiked the Seneca Rocks trail. Fabulous views along the trail and great viewing platform at the end. Luckily, the fog lifted the next day and we were able to go to both Spruce Knob Lake and the Whispering Spruce Trail that circles the knob. Views were absolutely breathtaking and some of the best we have seen in our travels around the country.
We really enjoyed our stay, made us feel like we can do comfortably with so much less at home- bc it was perfect. We shared the bed rather than use the pull out couch. We should have planned ahead better for hot plate, microwave meals- or they have an outdoor charcoal grill, but we had rain every day. We really loved staying there.
If you're looking for the perfect cabin with that West Virginia vibe stop scrolling. This is it. Let's start with the important stuff. The place was super clean. It has everything you need. Plenty of linens, towels, cooking equipment. The location is on a road but we're not talking the autobahn. It's a mountain road with occasional vehicles driving by. Does not distract from your experience. Perfect base camp for hiking the many parks in the area.

Cozy, mountainside cabin
Attractive, very small cabin appropriate for two people. Clean, with amenities as promised. Our only negative thoughts were regarding the lack of directions. We were advised that there was no cell/gps service in the area, so a street address was given to us that we might plan how to get there in advance. The address was no help in locating the cabin. Nowhere on the listing was it mentioned that the cabin was part of the Spruce Mountain Rentals, only that it was in the Spruce Knob-Senaca Rocks National Recreation Area. The day before we left, I asked for the lockbox number, and whether the house number was posted on the road where we could see it, since the cabin seemed to be up on the mountainside. The answer simply came back Cabin #3. It would have been helpful to have a mention of Spruce Mountain Rentals or a photo of the sign sporting that name with #3. We did see that sign as we passed, but didn't know it was the cabin we were looking for, there could be several rental companies in the area...we were also looking for the street address. Even a mention of the distance from the main highway, Rte 33, to the cabin would have been helpful.

We are very sorry this guest was not able to feel sure that they were at the correct place. We have been directing people to this cabin since 2014 and have had no problems before.... GPS has been locating the cabin fine for the last couple years so not sure what happened there. We will try to be more detailed in the future. For future guests reading this, PLEASE read and look at the pictures and feel free to contact us if you are unsure of anything. We do cabin rentals partly because we enjoy customer contact. Even a good old fashioned phone call is fine with us! We love our guests even if we do not get to meet all of you!:)
I would also like to point out that there are pictures of the sign in front of the cabin. They have been on the page since we built the cabin in 2014, so it is very obvious that this guest did not look at all of the pictures. There are actually two pictures of the sign and one of how the cabin looks from the road. Yes, we are all in a hurry these days but please save us all some headache by slowing down and looking at the listing before you come. Thank you!
