Muskie-Lounge River Retreat! Secluded getaway.

Come spend a weekend, week, or more at the River Retreat! Our secluded cabin is situated along the Buckhannon River. We are conveniently located 2 miles from the Hampton boat launch, 3 miles from Upshur County Trails and Recreation Park, and 6 miles from downtown Buckhannon. The space is comprised of 2 bedrooms, a large living area, 2 bathrooms, dining/kitchen area, patio, balcony, and fire pit. Secluded Riverfront Property on Best Muskie River in the State!
The space
The Muskie-lounge River Retreat boasts a beautiful rural view in all seasons. Enjoy the peaceful woods, firepit, or fishing the Buckhannon River. The section of river bordering the property is known for being prime muskellunge territory. Within a short drive are the Hampton boat launch, Upshur County Trails (for biking, hiking, frisbee golf, and more), WV Wildlife Center, and Fidler Mill.

If you're from out of town you may also want to consider exploring well-known attractions such as: Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum (22mi), Stonewall Resort (31mi), Tygart Lake State Park (45mi), Seneca Rocks (65mi), Blackwater Falls (68mi), and Dolly Sods (72mi). Some of West Virginia's finest attractions, as well as our favorite restaurants, can be found in a brochure upon your arrival.

PLEASE NOTE:
-We frequently replenish the gravel in the driveway; however, it can still be difficult to navigate in the winter. We recommend a 4wd vehicle if the weather is icy.
-Cable and wifi are unavailable due to the cabin's secluded location in the West Virginia mountains. WE DO HAVE A HOTSPOT AVAILABLE On Site and plenty of dvds to choose from.
-Cell phone service in rural WV can be spotty at times; however, we have AT&T and get good service.

My wife's great grandfather originally built the Muskie-Lounge River Retreat as a hunting cabin. We have recently undergone adventure of transforming this cabin into our family home. We are frequently making renovations to create a more family friendly atmosphere while still maintaining the rugged mountain environment. We appreciate any thoughtful feedback you may provide.

Wedding Trip
We had a great stay here at the Muskie-Lounge River Retreat!! We were here for my son’s wedding. The cabin was clean and ready when we arrived. The Tenney’s were flexible on check-in times and allowed us to get in a bit early to be able to shower/change from traveling before our rehearsal dinner. Evenings spent on the deck around the fire was very relaxing!! Would for sure bring the family back again!

Wonderful getaway in the woods
The house was clean and ready for use. Lots of beds and spaces for sleeping for larger groups. The house was a little cold but there was an electrict fireplace so the upstairs was always nice and cozy. We had a fire outside the last night and enjoyed the outdoors. Priperty is conviniently only 15 minutes away from grocery stores/gas stations/ etc. There was some cleaning we had to do before check out but it was not too bad. Overall we had a very pleasant experience.

Lovely family getaway
Great experience! Clean, Wi-Fi hotspot provided as requested, excellent communication with property owners throughout as they answered questions quickly and offered recommendations. Upstairs stayed cool with window A/C and ceiling fans, although I recommend bringing an extra box fan for any hot sleepers (one fan was provided with property, but we’re a bunch of hot-sleepers). Beds were comfy, free firewood offered was extremely thoughtful. We had a lovely stay and recommend staying here.

one issue
Very nice... only issue for us was fishing and swimming wasn't available at the cabin. We thought the river would be in front and easy to access but there wasn't a place available.

Middle of nowhere not far from anywhere!
A great experience that isn't really far from any of the area's attractions while feeling like you've retreated to your own personal little valley... very reasonable accommodations for 1 person, 1-3 couples, and even some kids if you had them with enough common space plus places to retreat off to for sleeping and bathroom coverage needed with 2 fulls. Really neat secluded hillside spot just a short drive to groceries and thoroughfares. Our purpose was to visit the asylum in Weston and the excursion train in Elkins; both were a very easy day-trip-level drive to/from. Did not experience any problems during the visit; thank you!
