Wildwood cabin at Paradise in the Woods on the Buckhannon River

3/4 mile long driveway to your haven in the woods. Located next to Paradise Cabin at Paradise in the Woods. Cabin is all new and ready for the 2021 rental season. Cabin has downstairs game room with pool table. Downstairs also has one king bedroom and bathroom with laundry. Main level has 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, dining and deck. Easy walking path to secluded swimming area (there are 2 swimming areas to accommodate 2 cabins on property) There are fire pits at the cabin and by the river so you can build a fire and roast smores with your crew. Swim, fish, raft, hike, or just relax on the front deck and enjoy the wildlife.

Cabin sleeps up to 9 in 3 bedrooms, two bedrooms on the main level and one downstairs.

The kitchen has all the appliances and utensils you would have in the comfort of you own home. There will be a starter of garbage bags and dishwasher tabs to get you started.


Please be aware that the driveway is long and steep in a couple places and is a bit rugged. A 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended but not necessary. Keep in mind that low sitting cars may drag going in and out the drive. (4-wheel/AWD is necessary in the wintertime due to snow)

The train tracks are active but the train does not have a regular schedule, it may run twice in one week and not again for a month. If it goes by once, you are likely to see it twice, it is a coal train, the cars go up empty and come back down loaded.

We are pet friendly (dogs only, fee required). You must clean up after your pet inside and out. Excessive pet hair on furniture or pet excrement (especially inside the cabin) may result in forfeiture of all or part of security deposit.

Favorite rental property

This is the best cabin and location out of all my vrbo rentals. Group of old friends get together here every year going on 6 years. There’s no other place we would rather stay.

Amazing stay

This was our second time staying at this property, plenty of sleeping arrangements for our group, we love this place it’s by the river we did a little fishing while we was there , the place is always clean when we arrive and the host is wonderful to work with, the only thing that I would say needs maybe looked into is the water pressure but nothing we couldn’t deal with!! Wonderful place we will be back!!

Peaceful river stay

This is a beautiful, quiet spot by the river. House is clean and comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and by the fire pit. The river is gorgeous, we saw eagle and river otters! The stairs in the house were tricky to navigate for our pregnant friend but you can easily walk outside between the two floors of the house. Thank you for sharing your quiet retreat with us!

Nice getaway

We would stay here again, the cabin was cute and cozy enough room for everyone that stayed. The host was very nice and accommodating. It was secluded, no one bothered us and it was close to a river to fish had a little beach area to sit and relax and swim or fish . It had everything we needed, and was clean. We would definitely recommend staying here.

WONDERFUL STAY AT A BEAUTIFUL CABIN!!

We really enjoyed our stay at "The Wildwood Cabin". The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with anything you would need to make a meal. Cheryl was a great host and took care of all our needs. We loved the cabin because it is pet friendly. Our dad came with us with his dog and the downstairs was perfect for them. We really enjoyed seeing the train. We got to see it three times. We would definately stay here again. Thanks, Cheryl for a great stay!

Really is Paradise in the Woods!

We loved our stay here. The cabin is very isolated and at the bottom of a gravel driveway that made us a little nervous the first time down. The cabin itself is clean and well kept. We enjoyed swimming and fishing in the river and walking up and down the train tracks, as well as having a campfire at night and playing cornhole, pool, and lots of board games. We did do a bit of exploring in the area which meant a lot of driving as the cabin is really out there! If you want to get away from it all, this is a great place to do it!

Cabin and creek

The cabin is well secluded but in a nice piece a land. The creek access has a large swim area unfortunately it was too cold for a dip (I visit in February) but we still sat there and just enjoyed the view and the sounds. The cabin itself was well stocked, with wifi and entertainment. We didn’t get bored my family didn’t even have the urge to venture around the town all they wanted to do is stay in. I do recommend to order the wood and fire starters from the host, it rained but she had covered them and it was dry and waiting for us to be ready for our night around the fire. It made it easy. It was great, we enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful Seclusion

We were there in early August of 23. The cabin is beautiful and in a beautiful setting, but it is very secluded. 40 mins or so to any gas or groceries so plan accordingly. The road in is pretty rough, but we made it with some non 4 wheel drive vehicles. The cabin has lots of great amenities and the owners are very attentive and friendly. The AC died a couple of days after we got there and they showed up almost immediately with window units. They got the AC fixed within a couple of days. The river is close and very walkable and was fun and/or relaxing depending on what you want to do. There is a sandy beach like area to hang out. We took inflatable tubes and floated down a mile or two then walked the railroad tracks back which go right by the cabin. Only 1 train went by the entire week we were there so train noise wasnt an issue. Even though it is remote, the wifi worked great all week. There are several parks less than an hour away with great trails and a wildlife center 15 mins away where you can see some cool animals. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a beautiful place in the woods
