About this property

Nature Retreat l Minutes to WV Mtn Adventures!

Life is crazy yet monotonous. You need a breather and an adventure. You need to get away for a few days. At this cabin, mountain adventures are just outside your door. At the end of the day, return to your Home Away from Home for a campfire and a long night’s rest.

But, can't get away from your job? No problem-- this cabin has WiFi available! How about a workcation?!

Please read the following cabin description so you know what to expect.

The cabin is in the heart of the Spruce Knob Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area-- 20 minutes from Spruce Knob or Seneca Rocks. Other popular attractions are nearby also.

The property borders the national forest, so hiking and other nature activities are right there.

The cabin has a full bath, stocked with linens.

As for food preparation, the cabin has a kitchenette with a double-burner hot plate, a microwave, four-cup coffee pot, and a small refrigerator. Note: please do not drink the tap water; there will be several bottles of drinking water at the cabin to get you started; after that, you will need to provide your own.

Outside, chill out on the country-style front porch and let the world go by. Enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the squirrels.

There is also a fire pit, park-style grill, and a picnic table, because what vacation to the mountains is complete without a campfire and burgers?!

Please note that we do not allow early check-ins or late check-outs. Check-in is anytime after 4 pm, and check-out is 11:00 am or before.

Also note: if you come in the winter, you’ll want to bring an AWD.

Guests have access to the entire cabin except for one locked closet with cleaning supplies.

We are available by phone, and may or may not stop by. Phone service is not good in the area, so it is best to make all contact before you come.

We have two other cabins close by. Other than that, there is wilderness, hiking, and scenery in abundance!

Bring your own transportation.

It is best to come in an all-wheel drive vehicle in snow months. The cabin is at 3000 ft elevation.

Please do not drink the tap water at the cabin. You will find several bottles of water under the kitchen sink. Other than that, you will need to bring drinking water.

This is a disconnect-from-it-all-and-recharge-in-nature vacation, although WiFi is now available at the cabin. (: Phone service is limited. If you have AT&T, you can get service 15 minutes from the cabin. You can drive 45-50 minutes to get Verizon.

Quaint Cozy Spot
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.

Right on Spruce Mountain
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.

Great Getaway
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.

About the host

Hosted by Kent & Cynthia & Marissa

Host profile image
West Virginia resident since 1986. We love living in the mountains of WV and working together as a family to make a living. You, our guests, help make this possible! We know from experience that a periodical break from everyday living is a necessity. We bought this land in 2004 and decided to use our construction experience to build inviting cabins for you to stay in. We find fulfillment is providing you with a place to get away in nature so you can recharge your batteries.

Why they chose this property

Why this property? Nestled in the woods at the base of Spruce Mountain, it’s the perfect home base for all your mountain adventures! You can find tons of fun things to a short distance away from the cabin. Then you can come “home” to a comfortable place to relax and be immersed in nature!

What makes this property unique

Secluded, peaceful, immersed in nature, surrounded by mountains, close to Monongahela National Forest. Leave your cares behind and come for a recharge in the mountains. Reconnect with your loved one without distractions.
