This charming, rustic lodge is situated across the street from the Cheat River just a few miles from Elkins, WV and 30 to 45 minutes to Dolly Sods, Canaan Valley, and many other fabulous outdoor activities. I called short notice (3 days) wanting a room for a Saturday. The lady was so helpful, calling me back when she was able... More

It has always served us well, and did again last weekend, providing 2 days of fine xc in an otherwise snowless winter. could serve equally well in other seasons as... More

We came from Akron, Oh and my cousins family came from Manassas,Va. It was a perfect middle point to meet. We stayed in the Rhododendron house. With 4 kids under 7 it was perfect. We are already planning our return!! Thanks for a great weekend getaway!!

I had an absolutely lovely experience interacting with the staff and management of Cheat River Lodge. With only a few days notice before new years eve, I inquired about rooms for the holiday. Anticipating tight booking and a delayed response, I was pleasantly surprised that both my email and phone call were returned within 24hours. Everyone was courteous and thoughtful... More

As said in other reviews, this is not a 5star hotel however if you are looking for a getaway in the mtns in a private secluded area where the rooms are clean, then this place will suit. We stayed for three days in the studio room, it suited all our needs including cooking with a full size fridge and stove....Roxy... More

We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we too agree that we are not for everyone. It is our goal to offer unique accommodations in a private non-franchise setting. If you are looking for privacy, relaxation and all that the National Forest and Cheat River have to offer, then we are perfect for you! If you are looking for... More

Cheat River Lodge and Cabins are nestled in a remote, scenic area of West Virginia’s Monongahela National Forest within easy reach of three designated wildernesses reserves. Also, many interesting, cultural heritage festivals, restaurants and shops can be found in the towns and mountains not far from the lodge and cabins. We have been vacationing at the “Big Poplar” cabin two... More

My husband and I have been staying here for the past 2.5 years, since my son has been in college in Elkins and we could not ask for a nicer place. Rooms are clean, service is great. We also take our dog with us. In the spring we stay at least 4-5 weekends. Calling ahead has allowed us the convenience... More

I am sorry for your misfortune prior to your vacation. We are a very small family run inn and we do not overbook as larger hotels and resorts will do to plan for cancellations. Our cancellation policy states that a refund WILL be made for personal emergencies if we are able to re-rent the accommodations for each night that it... More
