We spent Mother's Day weekend at the tree house. We've stayed at most all other of the CRL cabins, and each one is a unique treat. The Tree House has a unique view of the river and the nearby stream guarantees the constant relaxing sound of running water. You can rent elsewhere, but no where will you get this perfectly... More

I hate to title this review this way, but it impacted our stay in a major way. The room was good, clean, but the bed was awful. I hate the sound a plastic mattress cover makes, even though I understand using it in family-oriented facilities. The main bed problem was footboards that projected out at least three inches beyond both... More

After a small blip with a lost reservation, my dad and I had a great stay in one of the kitchenette rooms. It is our third stay at the Lodge in the past three while we fished. The room is actually a bit fancier than we need but the price is great and we like to stay at the water's... More

I was impressed with the staff, the cottage (Swinging Vine), and the location. The moment I called Roxie I could tell that i was in good hands. It is a great location. A good soak in the hot tub after a day of trout fishing, hiking, or traveling the area was wonderful. I especially enjoyed the occasional visits from Ranger... More

The Greater Elkins, WV area has some spectacular national forest areas that are well worth exploring. The Vine Cabin that we stayed in was along the banks of the Cheat River. Stay here for the hot tub, privacy, and proximity to the River. The cabin needs TLC, infrastructural capital improvements, and better housekeeping. When we arrived the heat and lights... More

Thank you for your candid review. Keeping it in perspective for those using this review, price in regard to the amenities offered should be a consideration. Our cabins offer upgrades in 'every' aspect for not much more than the nearby Holiday Inn Express @ $144/night and Hampton @ $119/night.Neither rooms mentioned have cooking facilities, living room, or multiple bedrooms.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Rhodie cabin at Cheat River Lodge. The reservation process, access to key and stack of firewood waiting for us, started our two night stay perfectly. We arrived at night, in a very dark area, free powerful street lighting. We found the cabin well-stocked and in good repair. The bedding was... More

We stayed in the "Big Poplar" cabin. The cabin is very nice and in decent shape. The location, if you are looking for seclusion, is wonderful. The Cheat River is a few feet from the back deck. Elkins is just minutes away for groceries, fuel and restaurants. The cabin is a little over an hour from Dolly Sods and Seneca... More

Our family of 4 had a room for 2 nights in the lodge. It was clean and quiet. The river made a nice background noise at night. Location for Fall foliage was great. It would be convenient to reserve the place with a credit card, but it takes mailing in a check with a deposit to get a reservation. Then... More

In the ocean of franchise hotels/motels, not many small family owned lodges have survived. We are a relic. Travel, like shopping malls can become homogenized whereas little variety exists. Throughout the 30 years of ownership we have morphed to meet the needs of the patrons who frequent our business. The Lodge rooms originally served hunters/fisherman. We added individual cabins for...
