    Close to Elkins but far enough to have a quiet country atmosphere.

    Cute little house close to Elkins and literally across the road from the Monogohala National Forest. Went specifically to take the New Tygart Flyer. Food at the “Smoke on the Water “ is highly recommend.

    This property exceeded our expectations. Plus there's a lot things to do and places to visit nearby. The Owner was super kind and helpful. I would definitely be revising The Landing again. And highly recommend this cabin.
