We highly recommend that you purchase travel insurance. Problems can arise in multiple ways and travel insurance can be a low cost guard against losing your money if you have last minute problems and have to cancel. In the past, some of our guests have obtained insurance by going to www.InsureMyTrip.com for details and to purchase. We did call the people at InsuraneMyTrip and they do have plans that will cover for Covid issues but there are several important steps and needs to be done shortly after making your first deposit. The plans are called "Cancel For Any Reason" CFAR. Check with your insurance agent before deciding what insurance to purchase. We DO NOT endorse any insurance in particular.


~Long Term Stays ~
For those looking to stay for more than a week, the following changes apply:
- We only allow up to 4 adults to stay
- No pets allowed
- We do not provide daily maid service but will provide clean linens weekly if requested.
Please contact us for further information.

WINTERPLACE SKI RESORT
Enjoy skiing or snowboarding right down the road. Winterplace offers skiing, snow-tubing runs and a snowboard terrain park. Winterplace Resort is conveniently located only 5 minutes away from I-77 at the Ghent exit.
NEAR BECKLEY AND WHITEWATER COUNTRY
During the spring, summer and fall don’t think there is nothing to do. We are close to all the fun that southern West Virginia has to offer. Whitewater rafting, kayaking, river tubing, rock climbing, hiking, horseback riding etc. All different kinds of outdoor fun are waiting for you to take advantage of. There are several state and national parks, like Little Beaver State Park, and Grandview National Park. We are also near Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. The temperature in the mountains of West Virginia remains cooler than a lot of the surrounding states, so this is great place to come cool off. Enjoy something different from the beach, take your family out into nature.
And for anytime of the year fun, Beckley has something for everyone. Of course, there are all your favorite fast food and sit down restaurants, as well as some home-grown restaurants that might become your new favorites. There is a wide variety of different shops. The Tamarack has everything you might want to see from our unique West Virginia craftsman. There are a lot of different antique shops and Crossroads Mall for those that might want something a little familiar. There is the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine, where you can tour an actual coal mine and let the kids explore the coal mining town and the Youth Museum. During good weather, there are also trails, playground, basketball and tennis courts and a pool with a waterslide. There is also, Mountain State Miniature Golf which doesn’t have just mini-golf but offers a small coffee shop and an indoor climbing wall. Beckley is a great place to spend a few days exploring all it has to offer and it’s only a quick drive up Interstate 77.

GREAT STAY!!

We had a total of 6 adults & 9 teens. At first, once we arrived we questioned whether we would all fit however it worked perfectly for us. We did use the futons in the living room, host did mention to bring queen size bed sheets. Though not the most comfortable it worked for the 3 adult couples. Overall experience was great.

The house was actually much better than the pictures gave it credit. The dryer did not work but the sellers informed us of issues with it prior to our arrival. All was great and we will visit again!

Inexpensive small town Home Base

We had a week-long visit with family in Beckley. We didn't want to be cramped up into hotel room, which would have cost nearly the same as staying in the cabin. In advance of our arrival, we had received an email from the property manager regarding checkin, house rules, amenities available. Having basic pantry items in stock took away the stress of trying to anticipate and pack simple cooking basics like salt and pepper. Hotel kitchenettes don't provide even those items. My son had left his toiletries at home. Well voila, there in each bathroom bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The bunk style beds were comfortable in the 2 downstairs bedrooms. Unique feature to the area, the downstairs, backdoor entrance straight into the bathroom. Handy if you're grimy from a day of hiking.

Family Time Together!

When you first see this cabin, your thought is that it’s to small for a large group to stay there. We had 10 adults, 3 teens and a 8 yr old, we had PLENTY of room! The living room & kitchen/dinning area of course with the open floor plan was very comfortable for us to gather together for meals and planning our WV Adventures! We were in town for a Family Reunion and stayed a few extra days. We toured the Coal Mine Exhibition and everyone enjoyed it. Would recommend. Thank you for the use of your cabin. Definitely would come back. Next reunion is 2023 if they continue having them. Sad to say most of our older folks have passed on and the younger generation not so interested. God Bless, Mary Waddell & Family

Practical place to stay

If you are looking for a practical place to stay while you explore southern WV, this is the place for you. If you are exploring a "destination"/luxury place, keep looking. We were in the first category and made good use of this "cabin"

Property was nice, spacious, great location. We were approximately 4 miles from ski resort.

Cabin is huge and we could have slept a dozen more. Owners were attentive and responsive to general questions from the initial contact til we left. Lots of lists provided for places to eat, things to do and see, as well as discounts for local attractions. Well done. Would and probably will come back.
