Wildwood cabin at Paradise in the Woods on the Buckhannon River

3/4 mile long driveway to your haven in the woods. Located next to Paradise Cabin at Paradise in the Woods. Cabin is all new and ready for the 2021 rental season. Cabin has downstairs game room with pool table. Downstairs also has one king bedroom and bathroom with laundry. Main level has 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining and deck. Easy walking path to secluded swimming area (there are 2 swimming areas to accommodate 2 cabins on property) There are fire pits at the cabin and by the river so you can build a fire and roast smores with your crew. Swim, fish, raft, hike, or just relax on the front deck and enjoy the wildlife.

Cabin sleeps up to 9 in 3 bedrooms, two bedrooms on the main level and one downstairs.

The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils you would have in the comfort of you own home. There will be a starter of garbage bags and dishwasher tabs to get you started.


Please be aware that the driveway is long and steep in a couple places and is a bit rugged. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended but not necessary. Keep in mind that low sitting cars may drag going in and out the drive. (4-wheel/AWD is necessary in the wintertime due to snow)

The train tracks are active but the train does not have a regular schedule, it may run twice in one week and not again for a month. If it goes by once, you are likely to see it twice, it is a coal train, the cars go up empty and come back down loaded.

We are pet friendly (dogs only, fee required). You must clean up after your pet inside and out. Excessive pet hair on furniture or pet excrement (especially inside the cabin) may result in forfeiture of all or part of security deposit.

Amazing stay
This was our second time staying at this property, plenty of sleeping arrangements for our group, we love this place it’s by the river we did a little fishing while we was there , the place is always clean when we arrive and the host is wonderful to work with, the only thing that I would say needs maybe looked into is the water pressure but nothing we couldn’t deal with!! Wonderful place we will be back!!

Nice getaway
We would stay here again, the cabin was cute and cozy enough room for everyone that stayed. The host was very nice and accommodating. It was secluded, no one bothered us and it was close to a river to fish had a little beach area to sit and relax and swim or fish . It had everything we needed, and was clean. We would definitely recommend staying here.

WONDERFUL STAY AT A BEAUTIFUL CABIN!!
We really enjoyed our stay at "The Wildwood Cabin". The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to make a meal. Cheryl was a great host and took care of all our needs. We loved the cabin because it is pet friendly. Our dad came with us with his dog and the downstairs was perfect for them. We really enjoyed seeing the train. We got to see it three times. We would definately stay here again. Thanks, Cheryl for a great stay!

Really is Paradise in the Woods!
We loved our stay here. The cabin is very isolated and at the bottom of a gravel driveway that made us a little nervous the first time down. The cabin itself is clean and well kept. We enjoyed swimming and fishing in the river and walking up and down the train tracks, as well as having a campfire at night and playing cornhole, pool, and lots of board games. We did do a bit of exploring in the area which meant a lot of driving as the cabin is really out there! If you want to get away from it all, this is a great place to do it!

Cabin and creek
The cabin is well secluded but in a nice piece a land. The creek access has a large swim area unfortunately it was too cold for a dip (I visit in February) but we still sat there and just enjoyed the view and the sounds. The cabin itself was well stocked, with wifi and entertainment. We didn’t get bored my family didn’t even have the urge to venture around the town all they wanted to do is stay in. I do recommend to order the wood and fire starters from the host, it rained but she had covered them and it was dry and waiting for us to be ready for our night around the fire. It made it easy. It was great, we enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful Seclusion
We were there in early August of 23. The cabin is beautiful and in a beautiful setting, but it is very secluded. 40 mins or so to any gas or groceries so plan accordingly. The road in is pretty rough, but we made it with some non 4 wheel drive vehicles. The cabin has lots of great amenities and the owners are very attentive and friendly. The AC died a couple of days after we got there and they showed up almost immediately with window units. They got the AC fixed within a couple of days. The river is close and very walkable and was fun and/or relaxing depending on what you want to do. There is a sandy beach like area to hang out. We took inflatable tubes and floated down a mile or two then walked the railroad tracks back which go right by the cabin. Only 1 train went by the entire week we were there so train noise wasnt an issue. Even though it is remote, the wifi worked great all week. There are several parks less than an hour away with great trails and a wildlife center 15 mins away where you can see some cool animals. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful place in the woods

Secluded Family Getaway
The house is very nice, the area is beautiful and very private and relaxing. We came with extended family (6 adults, 3 children) and had plenty of room for everyone. As everyone has mentioned, the stairs can be challenging, but are not unmanageable. Some in our party preferred to walk the driveway up and down. The fire pit is great. I recommend ordering the wood. It was there, stacked, covered, and ready for us when we arrived. Cheryl is a great host, very helpful, and responded quickly to messages. The beach area is a short walk, but worth it. I would recommend life vests for littles as the water is deep and swift in some areas. However there are other areas that are calm and more shallow. Plenty of areas to fish as well. All in all, we had a wonderful time. There was something for everyone to do, if they wanted to do more than just relax in the peaceul surroundings. If I were to make any suggestions, I would say maybe a few extra towels for showering or cleaning up spills and a new set of tupperware as some was cracked or missing lids, but we really did not have any complaints at all. We had an amazing 7 nights. We would definitely go again.

Shaky Start but a Wonderful Time
There had been snow prior to our arrival which had apparently melted some during the day of our check in. As the temperature dropped, the long, hilly driveway became ice. Our expedition turned in to a sled but luckily did not go down the hill on the side of the drive. After parking and walking to the cabin, roughly half mile, we figured our trip was doomed. After talking to Cheryl and sliding some more the next day, she made arrangements for gravel to be delivered. The temperature rose enough for the driveway to be drive able the next two days so all ended well. Cheryl was great and was very apologetic. The trip otherwise was amazing. The property was super clean and welcoming. The cabin is very cute and was just the right size. The spiral steps are kind of a pain for non children sized people but that and the softened of the downstairs bed were our only gripes if we're being picky. The location near the river was peaceful and private! We loved the full kitchen and having a charcoal grill was nice. Sitting by the electric fireplace, with a small Christmas tree nearby was an amazing way to end each night! We will be staying again as we loved the property and Cheryl was a great host!

Almost Heaven
On the wall of the Wildwood Cabin at Paradise in the Woods is a poster that says, "And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul." Our experience there provided the perfect opportunity to detach from our workaday world, listen to the river, and watch the leaves fall. Cheryl was an incredible host, providing detailed directions to the property and responding quickly to my pre-visit questions. The cabin was very clean and bright and loaded with amenities to make our stay comfortable. The decor was "woodsy" and complemented the mood of the property. There was ample room for our group of 5 adults to spread out for "me time" and gather together for meals, games, and camp fires. There are a few things for which travelers must prepare: The private "driveway" to the Cabin is long and narrow, a combination of dirt and gravel, with lots of ruts. Winter visitors are advised to bring their four-wheel drive vehicles. The circular stairway leading from the main floor to the ground floor is very narrow and almost impossible to navigate while carrying luggage or munchies; however, it is possible to go outside and around to access the area. The water smells of sulfur. It is soft and fine for showering, but we recommend bringing drinking water. Finally, the Cabin is truly out in the middle of nowhere, and there's little to do in the "nearby" towns (besides the Insane Asylum), so plan to stay in and enjoy the togetherness. We did.

Secluded Piece of Heaven!
We LOVED our week-long stay at this cabin in French Creek! The property description was spot on, so there were no surprises for us upon arrival. Asking any remaining questions or concerns up front prior to booking or your arrival is vital, and this host (Cheryl) was wonderful in both her communication and responsiveness to every question asked! Pretty much anywhere you stay in WV is going to be 20min or more from your typical shopping options and chain restaurants. Growing up in the hills of Appalachia, we judge "how far" some place is, by the time it takes to get there (not the distance). Read the description and Cheryl gives you an idea of how much time it will take to get to French Creek where there is a Dollar General and a diner (Bucks was a favorite), or Buckhannon where you can find a Kroger and a several small town shops and eateries (we could live on CJ Maggie's, very extensive menu!). The driveway to this cabin and it's bigger sister, is about 1/2 mile long and very rough - similarly as rough as the gravel road leading to the driveway. I don't consider this anything Cheryl can do much about...if you've ever lived in the hills/mountains, you know the difficulty with maintaining a smooth gravel road or driveway, especially one clinging to the side of a mountain next to a ravine. Cheryl's description is up front about this, so it should not be a knock on her rating if you choose to stay here. The road to seclusion is rarely paved, else it would be crowded :-)
