Another peaceful and fun stay

We love the place. This was our second time at the cabin, so we knew what to expect. The first time we were there was in the summer when everything outside was green. This time we hoped for snow, but it rained all but one day. So we stayed indoors quite a bit, enjoying the popping sound of the fireplace. We are looking forward to returning when the weather warms up.

Perfect getaway

Love the location nestled in the woods, the quiet brook burbling past the firepit, the homey pinewood interior, the fully stocked kitchen, the delicious jam and cookies gift. We stayed two nights while climbing Nelson Rocks and wish we had stayed longer. Thanks so much for your hospitality...if I owned a cabin like that, I'd never leave!

Almost too good to be true

For my wife’s birthday weekend I surprised her with a trip to this mountain getaway, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The hostess had a few birthday surprises for my wife which was very thoughtful. She was also very responsive when it came to contacting her for questions or for suggestions on what to do in the area. The cabin was amazing, very clean warm and inviting. Everything that you could need was available, from the bath towels to coffee maker. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly and the streaming smart tv was a very nice touch. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who is looking for a getaway retreat in the WV mountains!

Anniversary Getaway

My wife and I stayed the weekend for an anniversary getaway. The cabin was perfect! It had everything we needed and was so cozy and comfortable. My wife especially enjoyed the old cast iron tub! We enjoyed exploring and off-roading with our Jeep durning the day, and cooking amazing meals together at night. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. Dianh was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We would definitely like to come back for another stay at some point.

Welcoming Cabin

The log cabin is very welcoming, front porch decorated with flowers and ferns, extra blankets and throws for cold nights-even on the rocking chair and swinging bench on the porch. It is in the hills, very quiet with a small creek runnning along the side of the house. Franklin is not a touristy town but we ate at 3 good restaurants and the closest grocery store is surprisingly big, everyting you need. Overall a very good, restful vacation.

Amazing as Always

Just as clean, cozy, and comfortable as it was two years ago. We did a little more cooking inside than anticipated due to the weather, but found everything we needed, from a measuring cup to a little aluminum foil and plastic wrap. It really does feel like home while you are here.

The coziest of cabins

Our stay in this cozy cabin could not have been more perfect! From the babbling brook to the tranquil surroundings, this spot is truly a slice of heaven! Check in could not have been easier and we were even greeted with jam and fresh apples! Neighbors were friendly in passing and we just enjoyed being unplugged for the weekend. We hiked, played in the creek, made campfires, laid in the hammock and enjoyed many games of Checkers on the front porch. It was a quintessential Fall weekend in WV and this little rustic cabin was absolutely perfect for our needs!
