Wildwood cabin at Paradise in the Woods on the Buckhannon River

Beautiful Cabin! Amazing views. We enjoyed our stay. The host was very kind and helpful. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing

Very relaxing and clean home. Perfect get away to unwind!

We had a great time, everything was perfect

Was a beautiful cabin but those steps going down stairs is a killer you can not get anything up or down the steps but you. But would not stop us from renting again .

This is paradise. We will be back! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with our family!

The house was exactly like the listing mentioned. I loved the clean and simple home with the wooden animal decor. The home and outdoor area have a lot to offer. We loved the pool table, railroad tracks and river. The spiral staircase was loved by the kids, the only challenge was when we brought our luggage up or down the steps (but it is manageable). The driveway, as mentioned in the listing, was very long and steep and luckily we did not have any snow we had to drive in. Since it was a shared driveway with another home, we did have a fear of driving down the driveway while the other car was going up since it is really narrow for 2 cars to pass. We did not run into any issues with that. Cheryl was very quick to respond and answer any questions which was very reassuring. There is no phone signal around the area, but the WiFi worked really well! It was a great home and the whole family really enjoyed it!

We were a group of 10 (2 families: 4 adults, 2 elderly people, 4 kids).1. 10 people is the listed occupancy of this property, however, the position of beds in rooms is not logical at all as you would not place 4 adults in one room. There is also an air mattress but be aware that there is no space to put it. 2. The noise from the water filtration system was a huge issue. It kept all of us awake at night so we could not rest properly. Every time one of two toilets is flushed or you open any tab for a longer time it starts working. People upstairs woke up every time and forget about sleeping in the bedroom adjucent to the bathroom where that system is placed. 3. There are only metal winding stairs that are not suitable as the only means of getting from level to level. Incredibly narrow, sharp and steep. The only other option to get up and downstairs is to go around the house in darkness at night or when it's raining is not a good option either.One adult fell on those stairs and I slid injuring my elbow. And we didn't let the kids use it to be on the safe side.A table for ten people would be a plus, otherwise some people have to sit at the table while others at the kitchen island.Warmer blankets would be greatly appreciated. Getting to the property was inconvenient. It was mentioned in the description in several places but the narrow off-road way with stones is extensive it's not only the driveway. Other than the property is nice, cosy, has everything you need.

Cabin is secluded, but that’s what we were looking for. Just take everything u think u might need with u and enjoy the stress free experience with ur family and pet(s)

The scenery was amazing & our stay was a lot of fun! Cheryl was extremely helpful with anything we needed & made our stay much smoother! We will definitely be back next year!

Cabin was great for our family vacation. We enjoyed the river and fire pit. It fit the description of the listing and was exactly as we expected. We would definitely return!

We had a great time at Cheryl’s cabin! The river (across railroad tracks and through a small strip of trees- about 2 min walk) is beautiful! We tried to tube the river but it was a bit low in areas. We enjoyed it nonetheless - down river is remote and scenic. There are a few swim holes near the cabin (about 4 to 5 feet deep in spots) that are beautiful with clear water, sand/rock beaches, and large rocks cropping out of the river bed. We hiked around the property looking for small caves, and along the railroad tracks. Made a visit to the Wildlife Center (fun and a beautiful walk). We went to Helvetia, a tiny town founded by Swiss craftsmen, that has a general store, a cheese shop, wood furniture/art shop, local honey store and a Swiss restaurant. Be aware- the restaurant/ stores have limited operating hours - most are only open from Wednesday to Saturday, so plan ahead. The town has a picturesque stream, a bridge landscaped with flower boxes, and other small garden areas throughout. My family hiked the historical trail and a dog named Buck, who lived in the house next to the general store, walked the 2.8 mile trail with us and even showed us where to go a few times. He was such a great guide! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed! We made hotdogs and smores on the fire pit. The night sky was amazing! We lost power for a few hours due to work being done, but Cheryl was at the cabin within minutes to let us know. NBD. It was a great stay and very family friendly!

The cabin was very nice. Only got to stay a couple of days. My sister passed away and we had to leave. The road to the cabin was ruff.

This is our third stay here we love it , it’s by the river and has everything you need for a great getaway we will be staying here again!!

Perfect.

We all enjoyed the peaceful setting. Always have fun at the cabins by the river. Plenty to do and get out for adventures. Host was spot on with everything and very helpful.

We LOVED our week-long stay at this cabin in French Creek! The property description was spot on, so there were no surprises for us upon arrival. Asking any remaining questions or concerns up front prior to booking or your arrival is vital, and this host (Cheryl) was wonderful in both her communication and responsiveness to every question asked! Pretty much anywhere you stay in WV is going to be 20min or more from your typical shopping options and chain restaurants. Growing up in the hills of Appalachia, we judge how far some place is, by the time it takes to get there (not the distance). Read the description and Cheryl gives you an idea of how much time it will take to get to French Creek where there is a Dollar General and a diner (Bucks was a favorite), or Buckhannon where you can find a Kroger and a several small town shops and eateries (we could live on CJ Maggie's, very extensive menu!). The driveway to this cabin and it's bigger sister, is about 1/2 mile long and very rough - similarly as rough as the gravel road leading to the driveway. I don't consider this anything Cheryl can do much about...if you've ever lived in the hills/mountains, you know the difficulty with maintaining a smooth gravel road or driveway, especially one clinging to the side of a mountain next to a ravine. Cheryl's description is up front about this, so it should not be a knock on her rating if you choose to stay here. The road to seclusion is rarely paved, else it would be crowded :-)

This is a beautiful, quiet spot by the river. House is clean and comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and by the fire pit. The river is gorgeous, we saw eagle and river otters! The stairs in the house were tricky to navigate for our pregnant friend but you can easily walk outside between the two floors of the house. Thank you for sharing your quiet retreat with us!

If you want to get away from everything for a while this is the place. It was very quiet and somewhat deep in woods. Great host!
