Cozy cabin, close to many hiking trails. Cabin has everything you need. The bathroom is updated and the shower has nice water pressure. Everything was clean and was great having a large tv above the fireplace in both the living room and bedroom.
Very peaceful and relaxing stay! We thoroughly enjoyed everything the cabin had to offer. Whether casting a line or just sitting on the deck, watching the wildlife and listening to the river, we had a wonderful time. We’re already talking about coming back next summer. Tiffany is an excellent host! Thank you for your hospitality.
Our family of four had a super fun and relaxing time at the cabin. The setting is perfect. Quiet and beautiful on the river. The log cabin is awesome, and the hot tub and fire pit and deck were much enjoyed. The scenic mountain train ride out of Elkins is fun! Thank you for the great stay and for the easy communication with host.
We love River's Edge...this was our 6th time visiting. The fishing is great...a big plus for our 3 boys. There are lots of things to do nearby...train ride in Elkins, biking, hiking, Senca Rocks, Canaan Valley, Blackwater Falls, ect.
First time stay. Loved the location. Outside property could use some cleaning up and outside grill needs replaced but overall the experience was relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Our second time staying here and it did not disappoint. Such a fantastic long weekend getaway!
The cabin is well equipped and had we forgotten anything it was probably there for use. The owners are friendly and accommodating and we appreciate it!
We will definitely be back!

My husband and I came here for our anniversary trip and we had the best time. We cannot wait to come back! The cabin and river are absolutely beautiful. It was exactly what we needed.
I love this cabin! It’s such a great and well preserved original cabin, but also offers newer amenities like washer/dryer and AC. The deck overlooking the river is so great. You’ll find an extremely well equipped kitchen, fishing rods, firewood, river access, tons of towels, super nice hot tub, I could go on and on, they’ve thought of everything. I would definitely stay here again!
Expectations were exceeded in this beautiful, authentic cabin. The atmosphere was so cozy, we spent hours with the fire place going and doing puzzles. The hot tub was spotless and it was awesome relaxing in the tub while watching the ice float down the river. We would love to stay here again, possibly in the summertime!

Uncomfortable
Rustic is one thing. But the dimly lit, unusually narrow and attep stairs to the upstairs bedrooms was unsafe. The fire extinguisher in the kitchen was empty. We found 2 in a cabinet in the laundry room but, had there been a fire, it is unlikely we would have found them in an emergency. Lovely location,
Unfortunately, we only stayed the first night there due to my husband twisting his knee (same one from an old Air Force disability injury) and we had to return home for all of our adventures involved a lot of hiking and white water rafting.
:(
It was great. Had a nice time. Steps going to the bedrooms upstairs are a little sketchy. Could not have my father sleep up there, was too scared he would take a tumble down them. You literally have to put your feet sideways and hold onto the rail to make it down safely.
We had a fantastic stay this weekend. The house is very clean and cozy. We decided to stay home instead of hiking because the property was so lovely. We all enjoyed the super clean hot tub and the closeness of the river. I felt like we took a step back in time…. Perfect place to feel a bit of history while also watching the Super Bowl on a flat screen. I would recommend this property for all seasons. Also- our host was awesome- quick to respond and easy to communicate with :)
Shower backed up immediately as well as the sink, bought some strong Drano ourselves and it cleared the clog. The toilet seat was always covered with condensation so we had to keep wiping it off. Could use some new bath towels and bed spread…little things like that could use a refresh. The upstairs is very creaky and feels unsafe to walk on and the steps are very dangerous. The porch needs all new screening and the screen doors are pretty old. The rest of the house is great, but could use a thorough cleaning. It was confusing as how to regulate the heat and the living room and kitchen were very cold. I do feel like most cabins we’ve stayed at tend to have the same issues and I understand a lot of people come and go and make messes, so I get it…and we did love the place. The view was amazing as well as the jacuzzi. The TVs are great and the furniture was nice as well as the bed.
I hope this review was not offensive…we loved the cabin, we know renters cause damage, just wanted to offer feedback so things can be easier on the owners too and make their cabin the best rental in the area. Even though we had some issues to list, we totally would come back again. We loved the bedroom the most! It was
huge and the fireplace was the best! The dining table area was so cute and nicely decorated. There could a better way to locate the property. It was so hard to find and there was no actual sign indicating the name of the cabin.
