This charming original chink log cabin, “River’s Edge” built in 1910, sits on almost an acre of riverfront property. It has 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, laundry room, large master bedroom, 2 fireplaces, free WiFi, modern TVs, DVD’s with DVD library. Sleeps 6. The large screened in front porch is superb for dining or reading a book. The property has a large deck overlooking the river, a spacious fire pit area, gas and charcoal grills, and a 6 person hot tub. Look us up on FB to find out about the many year round activities: fishing, kayaking, tubing, golfing, skiing, snowboarding, wildlife viewing, rock climbing, mountain biking and spelunking. The local restaurants, bars, and live music will provide your stay with excellent entertainment and great local cuisine. The only pets we allow are dogs that are house trained.
This cabin was perfect for a relaxing, romantic, birthday getaway! Tiffany was amazing and so helpful in pulling off a great birthday surprise!
It was great. Had a nice time. Steps going to the bedrooms upstairs are a little sketchy. Could not have my father sleep up there, was too scared he would take a tumble down them. You literally have to put your feet sideways and hold onto the rail to make it down safely.
I love this cabin! It’s such a great and well preserved original cabin, but also offers newer amenities like washer/dryer and AC. The deck overlooking the river is so great. You’ll find an extremely well equipped kitchen, fishing rods, firewood, river access, tons of towels, super nice hot tub, I could go on and on, they’ve thought of everything. I would definitely stay here again!
Over all we had a great time . Disappointed that there isn’t direct access to the river bank , shallow water for the kids. The steps off the deck were too dangerous for senior members of the group . No mention of not having air conditioning on the second floor . Hot tub was at 105 degrees . After fiddling around for half an hour we got it out of hold position and turned it down and enjoyed it . We ended up having firewood delivered because no matter what we tried , the wood provided would not burn . What we couldn’t take , we left , so who ever is after us should have a nice fire . The cabin was spotless and comfortable . Kitchen well equipped . Bathroom very nice although it’s odd to have a toilet that runs on hot water ! Toilet seat was always damp if the seat was left down . Probably nice in the winter , seats nice and warm ?. Would have been nice to have access to a hose . Close to Elkins for shopping and eating . Definitely recommend . Lol! Also , the bed upstairs is very noisy as is the floor . Standing downstairs when someone is up there , sounds like they’re moving furniture . Anyway , thanks for a very nice long weekend .
Unfortunately, we only stayed the first night there due to my husband twisting his knee (same one from an old Air Force disability injury) and we had to return home for all of our adventures involved a lot of hiking and white water rafting. :(
We will definitely be back
Cabin was clean and everything bee needed was there
What a wonderful cabin on the river. Not much more we could ask for. It was so much better then expected and hoped for. We will definitely be back.
Rented for our Anniversary. Couldn’t have stayed anywhere better to relax. Peaceful and beautiful view of the river. Great place to stay.
My husband and I came here for our anniversary trip and we had the best time. We cannot wait to come back! The cabin and river are absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what we needed.
We had a fantastic stay this weekend. The house is very clean and cozy. We decided to stay home instead of hiking because the property was so lovely. We all enjoyed the super clean hot tub and the closeness of the river. I felt like we took a step back in time…. Perfect place to feel a bit of history while also watching the Super Bowl on a flat screen. I would recommend this property for all seasons. Also- our host was awesome- quick to respond and easy to communicate with :)
Expectations were exceeded in this beautiful, authentic cabin. The atmosphere was so cozy, we spent hours with the fire place going and doing puzzles. The hot tub was spotless and it was awesome relaxing in the tub while watching the ice float down the river. We would love to stay here again, possibly in the summertime!
Overall we liked this property. It would be beautiful in the summer when you could take full advantage of the river just outside. Has plenty of space, we didn't even use the upstairs. Was great as a basecamp for all our hiking adventures
We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and master bedroom which were the highlights. The property is right on Shavers Fork which provides some gorgeous views. There is a house directly adjacent to the property which detracts from the location somewhat. That said, it was a lovely stay. The owner was gracious about letting us stay a bit later on our last day as we had a tree branch fall on our car. Would definitely return.
Loved our stay here! Beautiful old cabin with modern amenities tucked in next to the beautiful shavers fork. Great location for exploring the area, less than an hour from Davis, Thomas, Seneca rocks, dolly sods, blackwater falls, and many other local attractions. The fall colors were phenomenal. We're already making plans to come back in the summer so we can take more advantage of the river (which was frigid when we went, though we still did a polar bear plunge then jumped into the hot tub). Felt very private event though the neighbors aren't too far away. Highly recommended vacation spot!
If you are looking for a nice get-away with beautiful scenery and a cozy cabin, you've found your spot!! My family and I enjoyed a relaxing trip kayaking, fishing, and hiking. The hot tub was a nice touch at the end of an adventurous day! The host, Tiffany is great! Highly recommend!
Nice authentic cabin on the river. Great fishing off the deck. Peaceful setting. Everything you need to enjoy yourself
Quiet, restful location with old world charm of a log cabin with many new world amenaties.. would have taken more advantage of the river except for our bad luck with storms. Nevertheless, enjoyed having dinner overlooking the river, listening to the water sounds, and relaxing. The hot tub is a nice touch as well.
My brother, sister and I take a yearly trip and this was by far the best time we have had. You couldn’t ask for more. Right on the water, beautiful view, cabin is rustic but has all the modern amenities. Lots of scenic areas within driving distance. Had a great time. We recommended this property to everyone and some friends have already booked for their vacation. Thank you Tiffany.
The cabin was in a nice secluded area, and very peaceful, beautiful place to be, but being an old home it had some areas which could use some fixing and upgrading. The kitchen and bathroom were upgraded, but the toilet had scalding hot water from the tank. We did ask about this, and were advised that they had to have hot water due to condensation issues, but being burned by scalding water splashing up on your nether regions was an issue. The screened in porch had numerous rips in the screens, and open cracks for bugs to enter. The living room was comfortable but very dark. A few table lamps would have taken care of this.. we did see that past reviews addressed this, but no lamps were added. We were there when indoor fires were not allowed, but burned logs had been left in the fireplaces leaving a heavy smoky odor that took over the cabin.
My boyfriend and I booked this property for 2 nights to do some fishing and relaxing. The property is really cute and we had a blast trying to catch some fish. No complaints here, we will definitely return.
This is our family’s new favorite vacation spot. We had so much fun learning to fish from some very kind locals having fun in the river and relaxing in the huge hot tub. The master bedroom is also huge and has its own fireplace. The home feels like it’s Christmas all year round and makes you want to curl up with a book and hot cocoa. Tiffany is a wonderful host and was very responsive. We even tried to stay a few more days but of course this jem was all booked up. Will have already all promisedh each other that we will be back.
