27 Riverfront Acres of Serene Mountain Views - Dog and Kid paradise!

Vacation at this secluded property offered by All Get Out Vacation Rentals!

Enjoy your own private beach with no other houses in sight. Open meadows, trees, river and stream -- this secluded yet accessible cabin has it all. Warm and welcoming three bedroom, 2 full baths, sun porch, open kitchen with modern appliances, gas grill, outdoor fire-pit, and fine furnishings throughout.

Listen to the sound of the babbling brook within 50 feet of the house while lounging in the sunroom or relaxing on the deck. In addition, the property has 27 acres of private beach access to the Shavers fork river. The house is engulfed in a narrow band of trees and surrounded by meadows and glades for walks (bring long pants and socks to explore). It is also situated just 1/4 mile upstream from the one-million acre Monongahela National Forest.

The house features natural wood-plank paneling and a well-appointed kitchen, Wi-Fi, television with satellite TV and DVD player, and a stereo/home theater system. The kitchen is open to the dining area, perfect for social cooking. The sunroom has seating for dining or board games with a full view of the stream so you can enjoy the outdoors even in inclement weather.

This cozy ground-level home sleeps 8 in beds. There is a MBR w/ Queen; BR #2 w/ Queen, BR #3 w/ two sets of Twin bunks, and Livingroom w/ Queen pull-out sofa.

For fall or early spring visits, the house features electric heat and a wood-stove (a modest amount of firewood is included in the rental fee). There is a window unit A/C in each of the three bedrooms and the living room, and ceiling fans in each of the queen bedrooms and the living room.

In winter months, be prepared for snowy and/or icy road conditions by driving a 4WD or suitable vehicle. It's advisable whenever driving in wintry conditions in the mountains of WV to be prepared with chains as the roads are often hazardous. At times the snow can be deep and it takes 24-48 hours before it is plowed, therefore you should be flexible about travel.

The cabin is remote, so even in clear weather its narrow mountain gravel road can be concerning to those not experienced. Depending on whether the road crew has done repairs recently, there may be potholes. In most cases you can drive around them, but there may be a few on the way that you’ll just need to slowly drive through. There are also no guardrails on the road, but it has several turnouts to allow cars to pass. The gravel is not suitable for street motorcycles, we've been told.

Please be aware of the close proximity of the stream to decide if the risk is too great for your toddlers or other children who might leave the house unsupervised. Our other Vrbo listing #317752 has a larger land buffer between the house and the moving water.

The river is about a 5 minute walk across the property from the house. There is absolutely no vehicular traffic allowed off the driveway.

Pet friendly -- dogs only please, and no more than two dogs per reservation unless owner exception is granted in writing.

Owners provide a starter quantity of paper products, bathroom soap, and laundry/dish detergent. Personal toiletries are to be provided by Guests.

If you are looking for a remote mountain getaway and are willing to roll with what comes from a country vacation, you will be hard pressed to find a more beautiful spot!

Because the house is surrounded by forests, the creek, and the river, there is plenty of nature to enjoy but also to endure. Mice will occasionally come inside, and although we set hidden traps to keep them from settling in, there is a possibility that you will see them during your stay depending on whether they've found a food source recently (it could be from a prior guest -- not your own doing.) We do, however, check to make sure that the kitchen implements are sanitary at the beginning of your stay.

The bug situation is that we are at a high enough elevation to not have a mosquito problem, but there will be gnats in the field, and moths at night wanting to get into the house. There will also be plenty of dead bugs that wedge themselves between the screens and the windows.

If these aspects of nature are acceptable to you, then you will find a beautiful place of nature in which to relax and enjoy your vacation!

Great location and property. Loved kayaking the river and looking for fossils on the beach bank! The hot tub and fire pit were welcome companions after a long day of exploring wild wonderful WV. Will stay again!

Great house and location. Really enjoyed our stay. Our dogs particularly loved the freedom of being able to snoop around the property and even though it was a chilly week enjoyed jumping in and out of the creek.

Awesome experience
With the deepest appreciation Larisa for sharing your property with us. Very comfy and cozy with plenty of space to roam freely, everything we needed for our stay. The beautiful mountain scenery with access to the river was awesome, serene and peaceful don't come close to describing our experience. Will definitely return!

Super cute and cozy
The house was so nice and cozy and clean with easy-to-follow instructions on check in and out. It was supplied with plates, pots, pans, utensils, etc. So cooking is a ready option as there weren't many common options to eat (for us, at least) If you like the quiet and seclusion then I would recommend giving this place a try!

An oasis on the river
A beautiful, serene location. Had a campfire every night while listening to the creek run over the rocks. Finished each evening with someone in the hot tub. Our granddaughter love sleeping in the sunroom and even woke up one morning watching a ground hop. We saw deer every night, caught some fish at the river and loved every minute of it.

Gorgeous property
We very much enjoyed our mini-vacation on this farm. It was perfect for what we were looking for. Ultimately, if you're looking for a country getaway far away from the hustle and bustle, this is a great place, and the river was wonderful! Our only qualification would be that the wifi/dsl was extremely slow, which was honestly a plus for us since this decreased our teenager's screen time. Just come with the expectation of "unplugging" a little and you'll have a wonderful time! Thanks again for a great stay!

Shavers Fork vacation
Great place for outdoor fun. Enjoyed seeing wildlife in the evenings and morning. Our dog lost weight investigating all the smells and wildlife trails. The kids played ball and used their flying toys without fear of getting them caught in trees. Great place for a moat control vehicle’s. The river was beautiful and access. It was really good although fishing wasn’t so good.

Retreat
The property was amazing. Having the tygart valley river in the back yard was spectacular. Sitting in the hot tub of an evening looking at the mountains was very relaxing after hiking. Our border collie was happier than we have ever seen him. The property managers were Johnny on the spot when a problem arose. Couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

Great girls and pups weekend!
While the weather was rainy and sleety, we were able to enjoy walking the property and even ventured up the closest trail whoch is at a firegate entrance very close. Nice weekend with the girls and our pups. Road to the house was better than expected. Enjoyed making a fire inside and appreciate having a full tank of gas on the grill outside waiting for us. Our pups still enjoyed getting in the stream water even in the wintry mix of rain and sleet. Great time and looking forward to coming back in warmer months to enjoy the swimming in the stream and river. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

River Access and Beautiful Property
This was our 2nd stay at this beautiful property. We love the river access and exploring the area. Plenty of room in the cabin for 5 adults and 2 kids. Ate dinner at the high table and set up a puzzle and games at the sunroom table for a rainy day and evening activities. Plenty of wood for fire pit and cleanest gas grill I have seen. Hot tub warmed up quick. Room to park our bikes when we weren’t riding on the road or on the driveway. Saw deer in the front and back meadow every day. Great communication with host. Planning to come back again someday! We love to come to the area to ride the trains.

Great long weekend
We spent a long weekend at this property and it was very relaxing and peaceful. This was our second stay and our pup loved all the area to run and play. We took several walks around the property each day. Such a nice path from the house through the field to the river. River level low due to not much rain which is nothing that can be controlled. We had a small issue while we were there and the owner was very responsive and sent someone to fix it. The road is narrow leading to the property but that is what makes it so peaceful.. no traffic. We will be back! 😊

Very Relaxing
Very clear driving instructions (GPS is kind of sketchy in the entire area) & plenty of information sent by the owner before our trip. Very helpful. The house was very clean & had instructions for any question we may of had. The location is perfect - very quiet & away from it all. We had no cell phone service, which was perfect! The property is well kept right around the house. There is even a large path of mowed grass in the field that takes you right to the river. There was tons of space for our dog to roam around & enjoy herself. A wonderful stay - thank you!

Fall Break Trip with the Kids
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay in this cozy cabin. It was well supplied with all the basics and more in the kitchen. The hot tub was nice under the stars and the fire pit was in a great spot. We walked over to the river and saw lots of deer and small wildlife. The bathrooms were unexpectedly nice for a cabin and even had heated floors. We enjoyed unplugging and playing some games as a family and spending a lot of time outdoors. Our host was really responsive when I had a question about the hot tub and sent someone over to check on it. The grill was clean with full propane and there was plenty of firewood. We went horseback riding one day in Davis and checked out Blackwater falls one day, as well as Seneca Rocks. I recommend this property for a family.

Mountainside paradise
I didn’t realize booking this stay in January that most places in town were closed the days we would be there, but that didn’t matter at all because we never wanted to leave the house! Upon arrival the outside is perfect. Such a huge lawn and so well kept. Then inside it’s super clean, very inviting and relaxing in every room. Our dogs and kids had such a blast discovering the stream and river, or just playing ball and watching stars in the big flat lawn, or swinging on the porch swing or enjoying the hot tub. Without WiFi nobody would have had any cell service in the area, I enjoyed unplugging and enjoying nateure for a few days. The host always an absolute treasure to deal with from the very beginning. I would absolutely tell someone to stay at this cabin and I honestly don’t think I’ll find another place that will top this one. Thanks so sharing your slice of almost heaven with us!

We finally found it
After 2 hours of trying to locate with written directions, no satellite or cell for use and a downed tree over the road we finally arrived to a nice little spot. The written driving directions were not very clear and precise. Had to call emergency number for verbal directions. Lots of wildlife, sound of river in back nice but could not see due to overgrowth. Cannot fish there too much shrubbery. Home is well stocked. One bathroom is excellent (shower) other is very small and hard to shower in if you are a big person. Furniture is not comfortable in living room. Large property to explore in good location. Not much to do in Elkins. If you like outdoors and doing outdoor activities during the day it the area is nice.

This was a great place to relax and soak up nature's beauty. There was plenty of room for my family of 6 plus our fur babies. Our favorite part was the river. We spent several hours there exploring and letting the dogs swim. It was so peaceful just listening to the water. The host was excellent with communication.
