Reviews
"One of my favorite places to see Fall. Staying at the pioneer cabins was quite an experience. You get to experience cooking with a wood stove (some cabins also have a gas stove), lighting a gas light, and hand pumping water from a well. Despite no electricity or running water, I didn't feel like I was roughing it. You get plenty free woods from the shed, free hot water shower and internet at the headquarter (5 mins drive from the lake), and the beds are very comfy and plenty warm blankets even if you suck at keeping fireplace going at night (the wood stove actually functions better than fireplace). The view around the lake where the cabins located is very peaceful and scenic. However, the hiking trails in this state forest is generally difficult (either too steep, too muddy, too many spider webs, or too hard to find) and there is no scenic viewpoint."
"Tucked away in the mountains, just beyond Green bank. We stayed in a rustic cabin with only gas lights and no running water. There was an old wood cook stove which was a new challenge to use. We enjoyed this new experience. It's a complete dead zone."
"Wonderful experience in Cabin 5. Especially liked the wood cooking stove, single room with screened in porch, with view of lake. Complimentary wood, kayaks, canoes and rowboats. Wish the fishing had been better, but very good hiking trails and Greenbrier River trail access only a few minutes drive."
"Stayed in cabin 8 and had a blast! Easy access to the Greenbrier river, very secluded and well kept cabin. Relaxing atmosphere and we were very pleased to find out we had access to the boats at the lake with the rental of the cabin. Would highly recommend!"
"Very accommodating and friendly, stayed in cabin #1, wonderful cabin, very clean, beds were actually comfortable! Will definitely stay here again on my next WV adventure!"
