Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. As a family of bird nerds, we spent a lot of time enjoying the back porch just watching and listening to the wide variety of wildlife along the river. The cabin had just about anything you might need, and the communication with the hosts was great. Great proximity to the Stuart Rec Area and Bickle Knob Observation Tower. Would definitely stay again, thanks for sharing your cabin with us!

Awesome vacation

The cabin is away from the main road and faces Shavers Fork-a very wide flowing stream surrounded by tall trees. The cabin itself is lovely and very comfortable. It is next to Monongahela National Park which offers several hiking trails and a swimming hole. We loved our time there. So beautiful and peaceful.

Great Getaway

This was our second stay at Riverside Retreat and we hope to come back in the future. The cabin is clean, it has a great open floor plan, and the bed is super comfortable. The best feature of the property is the back porch. The view of the river is lovely and we spent hours watching the ducks, kingfishers, and hawks. Our dogs were in heaven, too!

Riverside Retreat

Riverside Retreat was an amazing little weekend getaway. Great for a couple or small group. We caught over 75 fish in 2 days!! Saw a bald eagle land right behind the cabin on a rock in the river, ate at great local restaurants, and chatted with some wonderful locals and visitors. We will definitely be back and tried to already book for next year but 2025 is not available yet. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a great relaxing weekend to fish, hike, relax, etc. We had an amazing weekend and will book an extra night next time!

Perfect for 2 parents with 2 teenagers

King bed in bedroom was a nice surprise. Still plenty of space in the room. Teenagers found the sleeper sofas comfortable. Rhododendrons and hemlock trees around the cabin were beautiful with snow. Nice view from inside cabin of the clear rocky bottom stream. Kitchen etc had everything we needed. Thank you!

Lovely Stay!

Had a great time here getting away in a socially-distant fashion. Super close to Stuart Recreation Area for walks and scenic drives. Elkins is close by for supplies restaurants, coffee, etc. Cabin is a perfect size for a couple.

Great get-away

The property is very convenient to Elkins and all the great restaurants there. It was a good base for some hikes too. The cabin is quiet, clean, well-stocked, nicely furnished and decorated. The door lock is a keypad - no more lost keys! The deck overlooking the river faces south, so even in late October we could enjoy sitting in the new comfy chairs on the deck. Andi was great to work with. The only issue for some may be that the shower stall is smallish, though it was fine for my husband and myself. Tips: My Verizon phone didn't work in most places in WV (Elkins - fine), but my husband's T-Mobile did. If you have Verizon, contact Andi or Billy before you loose service:) We had a nice stay and would recommend it to friends.

Have Your Coffee Riverfront

What a lovely cabin! More comfortable than a fine hotel suite, this cabin had a great riverfront view for morning coffee on the back deck. TV if you want it; cozy blankets for the aforementioned deck; dog friendly touches; and a great Elkins area location.
