Was perfect ! Fun time and lots of outdoor activities to do in the area ! There is not much food selection in the area so I suggest grabbing something on the way or utilizing the grill on the property ! Owner was super helpful and nice overall! Much appreciated for the great time!
This was our second time staying, and the first time we ever returned to a cabin we've stayed in because we typically like to explore new places. Let that be a testament to the property.
The cabin is located near the base of Spruce Mountain and Spruce Knob is just a relatively short drive away. There are a plethora of hiking spots in the area, so if you're traveling to hike, this is the cabin for you! Smokehole Caverns is also a short drive away, as well as several restaurants.
If you drive a sedan it won't be an issue (I drive a Corolla) but I'd highly recommend winter tires if staying in the winter months. My friend stayed at a nearby cabin and had trouble navigating the mountain roads in his 4WD truck running all terrains, but there were no issues on my end.
It was our engagement weekend and this cabin was perfect for the weekend getaway! It is tucked up on the mountain and is in good driving distance to Seneca and Dolly Sods. The property is nice and secluded. The fire pit/grill area was lovely to have dinner at on a brisk night. Spacious and cozy cabin! Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice get away spot!
Very charming cottage and setting. We saw a fox within the first five minutes of arrival.
Electric heat would be nice, as I just felt like dealing with space heaters on vaca is not something I want to do again.
Our host was excellent....so helpful.
I chose this cabin because it was close to Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob and other hikes I love in West Virginia.
I was very happy with the location and the communication with the owner.
And it was such a cute place! Lovely interior. I would definitely come back!
The place had everything I needed to be comfortable for a few nights. It was quiet and clean and super convenient to get to Spruce Knob/ Seneca creek or the lake and Seneca rocks was east to get to too!
Small cabin, yes. Perfect for a family of up to four, max. Perfect for a couple.
This cabin is absolutely delightful, though. I would love to come back to it. It is actually a bit bigger than these photos make it look, and has a great outdoor space around it. It is also well appointed and the decorations and style are perfect.
Perfect location for those who want to venture to Seneca and Spruce. Great communication with owner, place has all you need, good wifi, and a comfortable and great setting.
The cabin was great, and the owner was extremely responsive! He clearly cares about the experience of his guests. While we couldn't make it to Spruce Knob on account of the ice, there is plenty to do in this area; we visited Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, and Chimney Top during our stay. Restaurants generally close early and can be a bit of a drive, but the cabin is equipped with a full kitchen and there is a grill and fire pit to cook your own meals. We look forward to staying at one of Ashton's cabins again in the future!
I my family made a last-minute reservation to stay here because we thought we might see the aurora borealis in the dark night sky close to the mountaintop. Unfortunately, it was a very cloudy night with storms, but the rain let up just enough for us to make a beautiful fire with the provided wood, and the cabin was warm, comfortable and well apportioned. One thing I would suggest to future visitors is to download the email and directions before you journey up the mountain. We didnât have a signal When it came time to find the driveway. It is clearly marked and we figured it out pretty quick in the dark. The Wi-Fi from the cabin is also pretty good once you get there. Thanks for a lovely stay!
Me and my wife stayed here for our 7th anniversary and it was wonderful . Small and cozy . Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a to get away from the hustle and bustle of life to just come and relax . The gateway restaurants below rhe cabin is well worth the visit as well . Will definitely consider booking again in the future . Lots if wildlife surrounding the cabin as well.
Looking for peace and quiet? Want to enjoy a cookout? This sweet cabin is a perfect place for a weekend of R&R! Loved the firepit, dry firewood and all other fire building supplies, porch, cozy loft and lots of windows to feel those cool mountain breezes! Don't forget to step outside at night and enjoy the stars - spectacular! We had a great time - thank you!
As close as you can stay to Spruce Knob without camping. Fairly recent construction. Very clean. Has a fridge, microwave, and basic kitchenware items available in addition to the listed amenities. You will pass a family restaurant 2 miles before the cabin. The bed is in a loft with access via a steep, narrow stairway - not recommended for mobility challenged or older (70+) folks.
We loved it and plan to stay there again later this summer.
Amazing place!!! Would go again! It is a very convenient place to stay near the Monongahela National Forest
You can't stay any closer unless you are staying in the forest. The wifi was fast. The fridge has plenty of room. The exterior is well lit when the lights are on. The host is very fast to reply and is friendly. It was very clean. The beds were comfy. Lots of nice supplies. It was very quiet. Overall very positive experience!
If you are a larger person you'll have to watch your head when going upstairs.
Great cozy cabin secluded in the woods. Very clean. Fully furnished. Hot water and heat. WiFi works great. Highly recommended. Very close to highest point in WV. Many hiking trails close by.
