About this property

Fern Creek Cabins @ New River Gorge, Secluded, White Water, Hiking, Hot Tub.

Conveniently located near popular area attractions and outdoor activities, Fern Creek Cabins offer year round, affordable, pet friendly vacation lodging in the beautiful mountains of southern West Virginia. Our two cabins sit on 38 private acres of pristine hemlock forrest near the north rim of the New River Gorge National River in Lookout, WV. You can check out our one-room cabin listing at #395725.

Both cabins feature hot tub, outdoor fire-pit with chairs and firewood, gas grill, fully equipped kitchens. All sheets and towels are provided. Fishing in small pond on property great for kids to catch small bass.

For those who just want to relax, Fern Creek Cabins offers plenty of space to roam about the property. Our cabins have comfortable porches equipped with grills and hot tubs, outdoor fire pits, and lots of beautiful yard space for throwing horseshoes or playing softball.

We welcome well behaved pets charging $40 pet fee for cleaning .

We ask our guests to not smoke in our cabins.

While our 2 cabin's share the peaceful seclusion of the Appalachians, it is but a few short miles over New River Gorge Bridge to downtown Fayetteville, named 'Coolest Small Town in America.' Come visit and take a walk around. You’ll find a vibrant shopping district and fantastic restaurants, windows to browse with lots to buy, and a lovely town park.

'Endless Wall Trail' lies a mile around the corner which tours one of the wonders of the New River Gorge -- the unbroken cliffline known as the Endless Wall, which follows the rim of the gorge and offers access to dozens of bolted climbing routes. Breathtaking panoramas await hikers as the trail leads along the top of the cliffs through gnarled pines, mossy boulders, and rhododendron thickets.

The best of times

We loved our time at Fern Creek Cabins. It was the perfect get away. The property is just enough removed from town that you enjoy the peace of nature but within minutes you can be in the middle of everything. Access to trails was great. Coming back to the cabin and enjoying the hot tub and puzzles and board games, it was just extra sweet time

Great cabin

The cabin is in a great location close to a lot of great hiking trails, overlooks, and parks. It’s also within 20 minutes of restaurants and stores. The cabin has everything listed. I will say the road in is a bit bumpy and a little troublesome but other than that it is a great place to stay.

Exploring New River Gorge

We wanted a place relatively close to Pittsburgh to explore and found the perfect spot! The area is lovely. The restaurants such as “ Pies and Pints” and “Secret Sandwich Society” were delicious. The whole experience of hiking and walking the bridge at the gorge was incredible. Our stay at Fern Creek Cabins was the icing on the cake. I have high standards for cleanliness and the place was spotless. Kitchen had everything you could want, and the whole cabin was very comfortable. The frogs peeping at night were very calming. We talked about coming back in the fall to see the leaves in the area and will definitely book this cabin again.

Fern Creek cabins

We had a great time seeing all the sites near the New River Gorge area. This cabin was nice and cozy, very clean. Being able to turn the gas heater up a bit after being outside in the cool weather sure does warm the bones. Cabin is on a quiet dead end drive. Road is narrow and had a small washout from all the rain, my only complaint but not Toms fault.
