Parsons Riverside Retreat: Steps away from a rolling mountain stream and trails

Parsons Riverside Retreat is a new riverside SMART cabin (2021) located steps away from the beautiful Shavers Fork/Cheat River that will sleep up to 6 people (we recommend a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children). Local activities include hiking/biking, floating, tubing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, white water rafting, skiing and sledding. We're an ATV friendly town with endless scenic trails through the mountains and national forests that surround us. We're known for five beautiful clean rivers that merge here and host the annual Pickin' in Parson Bluegrass Festival.

The space:
New (2021) 2 bedroom, 1 bath, w/ sleeper sofa, riverfront cabin with an amazing deck overlooking the beautiful Shavers Fork of the Cheat river. This cabin has vaulted wood ceilings, is a clean and cozy space perfect for a weekend getaway, week long vacation or peaceful environment for remote working. We are equipped with a Charge Point level 2 EV charger on property (40 amp J1772 plug) that can be used to charge your EV after a full day of fun and exploration.

Other things to note:
Parsons Riverside Retreat is located in the Allegheny Mountains less than .2 mi from the Allegheny Highland Trail that is perfect for a nearby hike or bike ride. Be sure to explore our friendly town and visit our parks which includes a splash pad, skate board park, basketball courts, hiking trails, and civil war battlefield.

Notice:
The cabin is equipped with a professionally monitored security system which includes smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, motion detectors, and door and window sensors. The system also includes four security cameras on the exterior of the home that view the driveway, carport, yard, and entryway.

There is an Amazon Alexa Show located in the kitchen for guest use and SMART home feature control (thermostat, lighting, & ceiling fans). This device does have an embedded microphone and video camera (however we keep the camera disabled/covered). The microphone can also be disabled on the device if preferred (note this would also disable voice control of the property's SMART features).

Each night at 10 PM a siren will go off in town indicating that the curfew is in effect for the youngsters in our community. It's been a part of this small town for many years.

Great stay
The stay was awesome! The cabin is just as pictured. Lots of nice hospitality touches. The j1772 car charger was great, it allowed me to make a multi-state trip and feel confident for day trips in my EV. Very comfortable stay! Will likely go back.

Great Little Cabin
We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The property is in Parsons, so you can walk or bike to the store, trails, etc. The property is well stocked and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We plan to schedule a future trip and will rent the cabin again.

Excellent property and amazing host!
My 9 year old son and I had rented this home for a father and son adventure trip. Our host was so accommodating and helpful. The home was in amazing condition and had all modern, smart home amenities. The home was exceptionally clean and there was a washer/dryer, toiletries, fire pit and board games, which was a great activity with my son. The home was on a beautiful river which we were able to enjoy and do some star watching. The cabin was close to surrounding areas of interest and the town was pure Americana. We had an absolutely wonderful time and the home was a huge part of that!

Clean with everything you need.
Such a beautiful spot right by the river. The house was spotless clean. It had everything and more that we needed for our short weekend to attend a reunion. The two grandchildren loved the beautiful river. I will definitely be back next year for our yearly reunion. The only suggestion I would have would be to build some sort of steps with the natural rock to the river. The steep bank gave my 60 plus knees a workout.

Dark
I named my review “dark” because the region lost electric for five hours. Warren was nice to bring us candles, but forgot matches, etc so thankfully the only restaurant/business in town with a generac had a waitress who gave us her lighter!! We loved the cabin. But it was a cold january so we didnt get to sit on the porch and listen to the roaring river out front. Would stay again. But will be more prepared with our own lighter, no matter where we stay

This cabin will not disappoint
We thoroughly enjoyed Parsons Riverside Retreat. The cabin was well stocked with everything we needed and more. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching/listening to the sounds of the river. My husband did a bit of fishing and caught 7 small bass during our stay. No keepers though he did enjoy it. We shopped at the local Shop & Save Express for a few groceries for our stay. We grilled on the charcoal grill but enjoyed a breakfast and a dinner at B & J’s Family Diner. The food was fantastic both times. It’s an easy walk and we recommend this to any other visitors. A day spent at Blackwater Falls State Park was the highlight of our trip. We ventured down the 214 steps to see the Falls, ate a picnic lunch at Pendleton Lake and started the trek to Lindy Point. However, we got rained out and never made it to the overlook. We drove by the small waterfall between Parsons and Hambleton and saw the swinging bridge in Hendricks. Both are very short drives from the cabin. We had lunch in Elkins at the Steer Steakhouse, visited the Elkins Depot Visitors Center and shopped a bit at the Delmonte Market. It’s a cute gift shop. Fun fact, Kingsford Charcoal is manufactured here as well as it is the home of the States Largest Known Butternut Tree. This was a great trip for scenic views and enjoying the river. We loved the cabin. Thanks to our hosts. We are glad we found Parsons Riverside Retreat.

Wonderful cabin!
My husband and I spent four nights at this lovely cabin while we explored Parsons, Davis, and Thomas. The owners have stocked it with everything you need to feel at home. (Seriously, check the kitchen cabinets and bedroom closet before you head out to the store for that thing you forgot. 😉) Very comfortable. The pics of the porch facing the stream are what sold me, and I was not disappointed! Perfect spot to read and listen to the water. ❤️ Highly recommended!
