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.

Awesome place to stay!
Fantastic location. Great view of the river. Very peaceful and yet handy to everything in town. We brought our side by side and enjoyed riding in town and on the never ending back roads. Love the small town of Parsons. Wonderful place to stay. Very clean and comfortable. Warren was a great host. Answered all our questions. Can't wait to visit again!

Beautiful, quaint and cozy
The cabin had all the comforts of home. Coffee on the porch overlooking the river was a wonderful start to the day and took full advantage of the outdoor grill. We enjoyed our days at the bluegrass festival and it’s a short drive to Blackwater Falls. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

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.

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!

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.

Cute Cabin!
Cozy little cabin! When I say this place had anything and everything you’d need on a trip I mean it. I have never stayed at a place that was so fully stocked with every little item you could have needed or forgotten to pack. I rated the cleanliness at a 4 only because of the hellgrammite bugs coming in and they gave me the creeps. We also had 4 adults and one child so it would have been nice to have a half bath upstairs for toileting purposes but other than that we loved it!
