We've stayed twice and have had wonderful stays both times. It's a very comfortable small cabin near wonderful hiking in Cranberry Wilderness Area.

Wonderfully Quiet
The listing was exactly as described. Additionally, there is no photo of one wall, which contains a sofa, a small chest-of-drawers, and an end table. There is a small closet with room to hang a few things. And there was a patio umbrella (not pictured). Don't expect to use the internet (pack your maps) or be able to watch the water from the cabin. Do expect to be comfortable and rested and in a great location to explore the area. Water access (wading/kayak put in) is available, downhill at end of the driveway. Greenbriar bike trail is on the opposite side of water, so a short drive is needed to access. Marlington had all the necessities we required. Grill is charcoal (charcoal provided). Simple, affordable, friendly, and cozy way to experience Pocahontas County.

Relaxing Stay in a beautiful setting
We could not have found a better place to explore this beautiful part of the world. It was close to the Greenbriar River Trail and we spent a lot of our time on this bike trail. The parking entry point is really close at Buckeye. The cabin was clean and we felt very comfortable there. Carter and Maureen were great hosts! They both went beyond the call of duty to help us with our car trouble. We are very grateful for their kindness. We recommend Watoga State Park where we saw a black bear loping through the woods. And also Beartown State park, so unusually cool! We also rode up to Cass Scenic Railroad State Park and spent time at the Company Store. There is just so much to see and explore in this area, by bicycle or by car. And you have a lovely cabin to come home to at night.

Greenbrier retreat
Perfect location to enjoy some mountain and stream beauty in West Virginia. Had a great time trying out some fly fishing with my son. Hosts were awesome. Wifi and cellphone are a little sketchy but that might not be a bad thing if you're looking to get away.

Nice Secluded Cabin
Nice cabin. Located walking distance to river. Close to sights in/around Marlinton, including Cranberry Glades, Falls of Hills Creek and Highland Scenic Highway. Cass Scenic Railroad is about 35-40 minutes north. Would recommend for those who want to get away for a few days.
