About this property

Just off I-77, Christmas on the farm! ...a wonderful experience for 2, wifi, TV

Located 5 minutes off I-77 & very close to Princeton, guests may enjoy the entire 100 year-old historic homestead filled with glimpses of the past! The charming antique-filled rooms are perfect for and restricted to 2 people. Sip wine under the stars around the firepit, watch deer graze in the pastures, or just sit back & relax while reading the history of the cabin and farm! Peace, quiet, and tranquility await!

This historic cabin and farm has been featured in numerous print articles and 'Traveling West Virginia' TV segments.

Whitewater rafting in the New River Gorge National River is exhilarating.

The cabin is situated on a 60 acre farm nestled in the valley. The Bluestone River runs around the boundaries of the farm. Beautiful mountain views provide a peaceful setting for both sunrise and sunset. The Greenbrier and New River, Bluestone Lake and Dam are close by. Floating down the Greenbrier River is breathtakingly beautiful, soothing, and kayaking on the Bluestone River is a great way to relax!

The main level of this historic cabin has a sunporch that allows viewing of deer as they graze in the pastures. There is a kitchen, dining room and comfortable living room with flat screen TV (Dish). 2 comfy recliners and fireplace. Queen bedroom and sitting area. The front door opens onto a porch with antique rocking chairs.. There is one bath with shower on the main level.

The area around this property offers extensive indoor and outdoor activities, all within a short drive.

Each room is appointed with beautiful antique quilts, old trunks, and pieces of furniture used on the farm. It is like a museum! You may sip coffee while watching the deer eat apples from the old tree!

If you are looking for pampered, modern conveniences this is not your place. If you want peace, quiet, tranquility amid old relics, antiques, and farm pastures you will enjoy this property. The homestead is much like it was during the time it was built (early 1900s). It is intended to give visitors and guests an idea of how living on the farm in the early years might have been. Our guests tell us its like 'revisiting their childhood when ‘going to Grandma's house'.

Life on the farm remain pretty much the way the it was when grandma lived there in the early 1900's. Guests today have a few more modern conveniences including wifi, cable tv, and . . . a bathroom, replacing the old outhouse that once stood on the farm.

Experience the freshness of the cool mountain filled with the sound of owls and crickets chirping softly in the stillness..

If a rain should be falling on the old tin roof, you're in for a special treat. There's nothing like listening to the soothing raindrops as you curl up with a good book or nap the entire afternoon.

The farm comes with a 4-legged security system named Diesel who watches over all who visit, barks upon your arrival, and waits for his biscuit treat!

Guests can go for a walk to the old barn, go fishing or kayaking in the river, watch deer graze in the pastures, or make conversation around the crackling firepit while roasting marshmallows and taking in the beauty of a clear, starlit night.

Time stands still at this old farm, rusted glimpses of days gone by, inviting guests to visit and remember when life was simpler. Paradise awaits!

Please note: Cabin is restricted to 2 guests, no smoking or vaping, no pets, and no extra guests allowed.
A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a desk and a microwave.
Take in the views from a terrace and a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Best Place to Stay EVER.
This was our second stay at the cabin and once again, it did not disappoint. Everything about this place is exceptional. We love the antique decor, the peaceful surroundings, the comfortable bed, and Diesel the dog! The kitchen and bath are furnished so well with anything you could possibly need. We only hope we can stay there again!!

Felt like home
Upon arrival the property was as beautiful as the pictures. We were enchanted by the feeling of home that this little cabin exudes. I grew up in this area. I felt like I was at my grandmother's home. It brought back wonderful feelings and memories. The property owner is great and easy work with as well. If you are looking for a peaceful and comfortable place to stay this is the one.

I had a very nice stay at the cabin. It’s exactly as described. It was comfortable and had everything you need. Diesel was a welcomed friend as well. He came by in the mornings for his biscuit and even kept me company by the campfire. I’d definitely rent again.

It was so peaceful-something I needed for a minute in time. Perfect location to Princeton, which is where I had to do some business as well as where my relatives live. I loved watching the deer play in the field. They were truly beautiful.

Weekend getaway
This place was just as described. We enjoyed getting back early each evening just to sit in the sunroom or walk along the field. And we liked having the kitchen for breakfast as well. Just a very pleasant stay if you like old cabins and antiques.

Cozy Cabin
The cozy cabin was exactly as listed. The decor brings you back to earlier times when this cabin was perhaps first constructed. The sunroom was a great place to watch the deer in the adjoining pasture. The kitchen is well equipped. I would suggest bringing food with you as it is a little drive to Princeton just to get something to eat.

Such a pretty setting, we truly enjoyed our stay. Communication with Carla was great!! Diesel waited until we were leaving to visit but so glad we got to meet him. The weather changed quickly during our stay so we were glad there were heaters in all of the rooms. We would love to visit again.

Quaint mountain/country get away that takes you back a few generations
My wife and I enjoyed the experience of stepping back in time to life in the country/mountains of West Virginia. The log cabin feel balances life back then and life now with some modern conveniences like TV and internet. The host made a great recommendation for supper at The Oak in Pipestem. Highly recommend, the idyllic setting.

Beautiful, restful cabin
We opted for a short stay in this rustic but comfortable and well-appointed cabin during a recent road trip rather than staying in a local hotel. It was a wonderful experience. Carla was gracious and accommodating, and went above and beyond when I got the dates wrong and just showed up! I strongly suggest staying here longer than just one night to truly soak in the scenic beauty and history of this part of West Virginia. Definitely recommend!

Country Cabin
If your looking for the perfect place to relax in a country setting look no more. This family owned cabin is the perfect place. Located just a few miles from I-77 and about a 15 minute drive from Princeton WV gives plenty of opportunities for groceries/shopping or many name brand commercial restaurants to choose from. Within 1.5 to 2 hour drive is many recreational opportunities such as state parks, National Park Service trails and activities, fishing, New River Gorge bridge, local veteran and railroad museums and several small communities that sprang up from the coal industry. Diesel the farm dog is the gentle giant who patrols the property and seeks the occasional treat from his guests that is provided by the hosts. Many thanks to the family for sharing this property with the public, we plan to return.
