Please note: You’re renting a cabin that is a mile from a local ranch that hosts the occasional cowboy style shooting tournament. Typically held March, April, and September - but they often practice on Saturday/Sunday during the third weekend of the month. You may hear gunshots from their place during the day. West Virginia is indeed wild and wonderful!



Our cleaning team sweeps the deck, stairs, and walkways before each arrival, but due to the natural setting, you may still notice some leaves, pollen, or similar—especially during certain seasons. We appreciate your understanding as nature tends to leave its mark, no matter how often we tidy up!



Pet Policy

We don't allow any dogs or cats.



Longer Stays

For stays of 14 nights or longer, guests will be asked to e-sign a rental agreement prior to arrival. This agreement helps us comply with local requirements while protecting the property, and will be sent in advance for review.
