Excellent property owners

The property was very neat and tidy. A small issue that the property owner had no control of arises. She was very accommodating and had a solution in a very timely manner. Would recommend the property to there for sure

Rhododendron cabin

Cabin was very nice and clean, great location,staff very friendly, the only thing we didn’t care for were the mattresses they were very,very firm , some prefer firm lol we prefer softer mattresses we woke up stiff lol. I would recommend and have recommended the cabin to others. Thank you for a nice ,peaceful mini vacation it was very relaxing. Oh and we loved the river I caught a brown trout right from the porch lol

Wondeful

The cabin was literally on top of the Cheats River. Although there was only two of us, the cabin would comfortably sleep 6. The only unpleasant experience was related to the volume of disinfectant used to clean the property. The smell was overwhelming the first night but it cleared out the following morning and the rest of our stay was perfect. I guess clean is good in today's world of Covid. Thoroughly enjoyed are stay!

Quiet and scenic

This legit log cabin was just what we needed for a quiet and scenic weekend to get away from the craziness of life! We unplugged from social media, read, enjoyed the hot tub and the peaceful, up-close view of the Cheat River. The gas fireplace was convenient and perfect! When we noticed the freezer wasn’t working Roxye had Scott bring over a mini-fridge within 20 minutes so we wouldn’t be inconvenienced! Much appreciated. The town of Elkins is great—good people, great places to eat (i.e. Scotty’s for breakfast and The Forks for dinner). We’ll definitely be back!

Quiet getaway

If you need technology, this is not the place for you. Simple, quiet time alone is just what we needed. Grocery is minutes away which is good because there is nothing there. No salt or pepper, no paper towels etc. Come prepared. The house is clean, plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Only challenges were the hot tub jets did not work, and the ceiling fan remote had no batteries. The fan would have helped to circulate the heat. .

Perfect Getaway

The pictures that are shown don't do this place justice. The cabin is beautiful. It has an equipped kitchen with cooking utensils, pots and pans. It has an electric stove, microwave and full size refrigerator. When we checked in, we walked in to the air conditioning on and it was very cool. The hot tub was a nice feature as the boys were fishing, us girls lounged in the hot tub. The bedrooms had clean and comfortable linens and they provided more than enough bath towels and toilet paper. The only thing I was disappointed with was that we were not able to have a fire, but when I spoke to Roxye, she explained the reasoning behind it. This cabin provides privacy and it was beautifully open to gaze at the starry night. The fishing was not too good, but it had rained all day the Friday so the river was murky, high and running fast, which no one could prevent. Overall, I would stay here again and recommend this to others. The next time we stay, we will probably have to stay at another one of their properties due to the size in our party.

Fantastic Experience

Stayed at the Rhodie with my wife and dog. Cabin was gorgeous. Right on the river. Quiet getaway. The cabin was incredibly clean, hot tub was clean and well maintained. The area was beutiful. Stuart rec area is a five minute drive. Town of Elkins is 10 minutes…it’s a quaint town with everything you need. Within 40 minutes we hit Seneca Rock and Blackwater Falls. GREAT EXPERIENCE. Hope to get back some day

Last minute weekend getaway

My boyfriend and I were looking for a close to home weekend getaway and came upon this listing for cabins in Elkins, WV. We liked that it was just a couple of hours from home but was still kinda off the grid. We couldn’t be more pleased with the cleanliness of the cabin. It had everything we needed and the screened in porch and hot tub was our haven. Thank you for such a great place to stay and relax. Next time we will be bringing our fishing poles.

Weekend Stay on Shavers Fork

We had a lovely long weekend at the Rhododendron cabin. Plenty of room for the two of us. Every thing was very clean and warm. The hot tub was delightful. We had a little trouble with the WiFi, but Roxye was extremely helpful in getting it up and running. We would definitely go back again, maybe in the summer, when we would enjoy the gorgeous scenery from the delightful screened in porch.

Very nice

Place was beautiful, right in the river. Loved the screen porch. We received a lot of instructions after we booked; would have been better to get those up front. But they weren’t unreasonable asks, so it was fine.

Amazing getaway!

This place is just what my daughter (14yrs) and I needed for a relaxing getaway. I'm always hesitant about booking new places, but I'm so glad I booked this one. This is definitely an old bones cabin, which is exactly what we wanted. We didn't want to stay in a newer house that is called a cabin. We loved how cozy and full of old, rustic character the cabin is. We even loved the "uneven" floors. While one bed downstairs was definitely firm, the other bed was much softer and perfect for me. The couches are leather, clean, and comfortable. It was stocked with everything that is listed in the description. We found the manager, Roxye, to be responsive and accessible. A staff member came by daily to check the hot tub, see if we needed anything, and remove the outside trash. Checking in and out was a breeze. The cabin's location is excellent. It is 30 minutes to a hour away from all the things we wanted to do; Blackwater Falls, Seneca Rocks, and Snowshoe Mountain. Bickle Knob is 5 minutes away from the cabin and is a beautiful drive up to the observation tower. Being from Florida, the freezing temperatures (17°F - 35°F) were a wonderful change. We even had a little snow. We would definitely like to come back in the summer to enjoy the river. The only thing I can "complain" about is the bathroom vanity drawers. The inside of them needed to be cleaned better. There was quite a bit of hair in them. This isn't enough to give less than 5 stars in cleanliness. Everything else was perfect. If you are looking for a true cabin getaway, I highly recommend this place! Thanks to Roxye and Staff for making our stay perfect. We will be back!

All was calm and peaceful. Staff very helpful and nice. Too bad the fish took the week off and I’m not a river fisherman. Not the lodges problem. Would go again.
