Wonderful Country Stay
A wonderful home in a beautiful setting. The property is peaceful, and relaxing. The home is well equipped and very comfortable. The hosts are wonderful, and helpful. Check in is a breeze. We loved sitting on the front desk in the morning drinking coffee and watching the deer and turkey. We had adventures to many of the nearby hikes, and back to the house at night for wine and wildlife watching. After dark there is a smokeless fire pit to sit around. If you need a get away, this is it! The only negative is that we didn't book it for longer! Will definitely go back if I have a chance

Calling All Nature Lovers!
Enjoyed a long weekend getaway with my son and "grand-dog". This beautiful property is off the beaten path but within an easy drive to New River Gorge NP, state parks, and outdoor adventures! The house is surrounded by lovely, wooded terrain and abundant wildlife, including wild turkeys and deer. The pup loved hanging out in the back yard and running in the fenced area at the bottom of the driveway. The house was clean, the layout was cozy, and the kitchen was well stocked. The property owners, Mike and Deanna were gracious and greeted us at check-in. Overall we had a peaceful, restful stay and would recommend this property to anyone interested in escaping the "noise" of everyday life!

If you’re looking for off the beaten path, this is it! Very peaceful and lots of wildlife. Owners are on the property but you hardly ever see them. And when you do they are nothing but helpful & friendly. It’s a bit of a drive to some of the area parks and attractions but well worth it for the tranquility that this rental offers.

Peaceful and relaxing
We had a really nice stay at Backwoods Retreat. The property is private and beautiful. It is a great base camp for experiencing the activities in the New River Gorge area. There are several options like the New River Gorge National Park, NRG bridge, rafting, and fishing within a 20-25 minute drive. If you'd rather spend your time unwinding from the stress of daily life, you can stay at the property and enjoy the wildlife (lots of deer, turkeys, and songbirds), hike the trail up to the top of the ridge behind the house, or just relax on the porch or back yard. The gravel road to get to the property is maybe a little longer than you expect, but it is well-maintained and no problem to drive. Mike and Deanna could not have been more gracious and helpful. Mike and his grandson provided minnows for fishing in the pond, which our 16 year old son really enjoyed. The wifi worked well and provided connectivity when we needed it. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay and would recommend this to families or couples who need some time away from the daily grind or need a base camp while exploring the NRG area.

This was a great property, peaceful. In the morning and evening we looked forward to seeing the deers! The owners have a trail in the back that is worth exploring if you don't want to go far. The location is great too. Highly recommend this cabin.

This is a wonderful cabin, it has a great view from the front porch the deer and turkeys wonder around and eat all day long. There is a fenced back yard with a deck and a camp fire area. The cabin was spotless. Overall a great place to stay.

Amazing place to stay close to all the hiking, sight seeing, rafting, and food. Super clean. Owners are great people. Abundant wildlife to see from the front porch. Fun fishing the pond. Lots of bass. Owner caught us some fresh minnows to use for bait. Hiking trails on property were great also. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay. The on-site owners were extremely respectful. The location was close to the park locations while still feeling remote and peaceful - we woke up most days to +4 whitetail deer and the sound of bullfrogs. Great location and dog friendly. Would recommend.

Piece of Heaven in WV
What a wonderful property owned by fantastic and responsive hosts! Communication really was very efficient. The cabin size was perfect for our young family of 5. We enjoyed being to stay in the WV mountains while still being close to a host of activities in the area. We got the peace and quiet as well as the adventure. The fishing pond was also a unique amenity. Our girls have started fishing and they enjoyed trying out their poles here with the large mouth bass. The property owners' grandson even came out to provide pointers and even gave us bait (minnows) he has caught earlier that day for our use! Such a special time for our family on a beautiful property.

Great location for visiting the 2 state parks and national park in the area. The house was great. We would see deer and turkey multiple times a day not even 20 feet from the house. They have a trail you can walk on the property along with a pond you can fish in. Great experience!

Great stay!
We had a wonderful time and Mike and Deanna’s property. Was so quiet and peaceful and served as a great place to truly unplug in nature. The backyard was perfect for our pup as well as a larger pen to run and play fetch. The house was comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed to cook meals. Would recommend coming in daylight…beautiful drive but some twists and turns. Owners are on property but were very respectful of our privacy and very kind. Mike even caught some minnows for my son to fish in the pond. Relaxing and easy access to the park.
