The landing on the shaver's fork

Located on the banks of the Shaver's Fork River, The Landing is a platform for launching your outdoor adventure during any of our four majestic seasons, or just cozy up to our gas fireplace. The house is situated adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest, paved access to the front door, and minutes to Elkins for your convenience. There are countless activities and destinations within easy reach based on your interest.

Finally, The Landing is loaded with many conveniences such as USB ports, WIFI inside and out, mood lighting inside and out and blue tooth speakers to add your favorite tunes.

The Landing has 420 feet of Private River Access. This is perfect for the fisherman or those thrill-seekers who want to float on the river in a tube, kayak or canoe. The expansive yard on both sides of the house have hammock locations got guests to enjoy the sounds of the river while relaxing. Cook on the back deck with the outdoor grill. Enjoy dinner along the river while watching Eagle, Kingfishers and waterfowl.

Great location
Cute little house close to Elkins and literally across the road from the Monogohala National Forest. Went specifically to take the New Tygart Flyer. Food at the “Smoke on the Water “ is highly recommend.
