Good Weekend

PRO's: -The cabin was great. -Enjoyed Fishing -Enjoyed shooting -Local folks were super nice CON's: -Grass could have been cut/trimmed -Porta Jon could have been pumped Unexpected: -While well of the beaten path, it was not as secluded as I expected. There were folks in a house across the river and I think maybe a camp site down the road. Lots of 4 wheelers. I enjoyed my weekend and I will be back!

Liked the Cabin

We enjoyed the cabin, the shooting range and the river. The firepit was a mud pit, suggest putting a load of stone around it. The porta john hadn't been cleaned in a while. But overall it was a good time.

The river was dreamy

We spent most of our time floating and playing in the river, which is right in front of the cabin. The water is clean and deep. The land is expansive and lovely. The cabin is as described - basic and adequate - I especially liked the large screened porch. I hope to return soon!

Country Cabin

Rare to find such a nice cabin with river access and it's own private catfish pond. Peaceful setting with abundant nature. Great place to unplug and refresh!

WOW!

If the rating of the "accuracy of the online listing" didn't effect the score negatively, I would rate it a 1. The online listing does not do this place justice at all! It is so much more than the pictures or the description would lead you to believe. It is a local escape that seems like it is in the middle of nowhere. If you like 100% nature and no city whatsoever, this is the place! BEAUTIFUL! And Joe was so easy to work with Available if you need him but leaves you to your vacay otherwise. We will most definitely be back!!!

Good getaway from the wife and kids

Don't get me wrong, we love our spouses and children, but sometimes....we'll, you just need to go away for a long weekend. Seriously, though, on to the review. Loved it. Remote enough to where we didn't hear anything, but close enough to civilization that if you REALLY need a pizza you can run and get one. Fishing...too late in the year to catch anything, but WILL be nice at other times of the year. Shooting....nice set-up. Star gazing... beautiful. Cabin itself.....awesome. no concerns or issues. Numerous extra amenities and goodies throughout. Only thing that would make it better would be a LazyBoy recliner and onsite chef,,,,but hey, "camping", Thanks!

Great adventure for the kids

Everything was as expected, cabin was even nicer than photos (rustic cabin with bunks for the boys). It was a couple of cold May nights so we had the wood stove going which helped. Bring all your camping supplies and air mattresses! We did get off and on rain so site was pretty muddy around campfire as the area has recently been cleared. But it was what we wanted, off grid experience for the kids! We enjoyed some fishing and shooting (great shooting range!) coming in off Eddie Mill Rd right prior to the stream you cross is a large rock In the road. If you don’t have a larger truck you will bottom out on it, if you go down road 20’ you can take a more gradual road in! Thanks for the stay we hope to come back!

Great remote cabin

Jonathan’s cabin is an awesome, remote spot. It’s very rustic and in a great location to camp and unwind. We had some trouble getting into contact with him, but we had an amazing weekend at this cabin. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a rustic place to stay for a camping trip.

A rustic retreat

Joe's place was perfect for what we had planned, a 14 mile kayak down the Cacapon. He was quick to respond to my questions about river condiions and even allowed me to leave a vehicle there for our take out.

Utterly Fantastic Property

First off, Joe was responsive and accomidating. The cabin is nestled in the middle of a fairly remote plot of land. The property was beautiful! It was too cold to take advantage of the river 20 feet from the cabin, but we stayed warm by the fire. The cabin is rustic, but clean and well built. There were no creepy crawlies around the interior. We brought a propane smoker and smoked some brisket outside on the first day for the next days dinner. It was a fantastic weekend. If you hit Omps Grocery on the way in, you can get a couple cords of firewood for a reasonable price. Great people there. Note that there was no cell service with AT&T, so be prepared to put your electronics away for the weekend. We will definitely be back.

Great place to get in the woods an do some fishing / shooting

Basic primitive cabin on a nice plot of land. 4x4 vehicle with some ground clearance is definitely required, especially with the spring mud. Joe has a nice piece of land here, and my buddy and I had a blast. Watch the weather closely, we ended up in 35 degree weather. Wasn’t too bad, but a nice 60-70 degree weekend would have been ideal! Hoping to get back there sometime soon.

About the host

Hosted by Joe

Why they chose this property

This rental offers more for your money than any other similar priced option. Unlike other properties, this property offers renters a chance to unplug from modernity and camp in the relative comfort of a rustic river cabin. Enjoy over 200 acres of adjoining rural mountain land, trails, scenic views, the Cacapon River, a stocked pond, and a creek. For the sportsmen, there is a private shooting range (request authorization to use and sign waiver...use is not guaranteed and at sole discretion of owner), a canoe, and fishing in both the pond and river (WV license required for river and can be purchased online for a single day pass). In the winter, warm yourself by the wood stove. In the summer kick back and relax on the fully screened in porch.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is situated on a large track of land offering beautiful walks with 360 degree unobstructed views of the Allegheny Mountains and waterfrontage along the Cacapon River, which is one of the best kept scenic secrets of the Mid-Atlantic region. For paddlers, there are great float trips for both canoes and kayaks to the cabin from local state put-ins. Further, if you enjoy fishing, the river offers anglers a great opportunity to test their skills. The property also boasts a big pond stocked with bass, catfish, perch, and strypers (catch and release please) and a 100 yard+ rifle range that can be used with prior authorization. There are also ample trails for hiking, walking, mountain biking, or snowshoeing in the winter (weather dependent).

Don't forget to enjoy the wildlife. Nature abounds and Bald Eagles, Black Bears, and Whitetail Deer are often seen. The plant life is equally diverse with species rarely scene outside of the unique river valley ecosystem.
