Very peaceful property about 20 minutes from the Bridge. We loved the catch and release fishing pond and Mile was gracious enough to give our boys minnows to use. We hiked the trails on the property to the mountain overlook and watched the deer next to our porch every night. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Wonderful stay!

Lovely setting away from everything, but close enough that we could easily visit the New River Gorge and other local places. Really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the wild turkeys and deer, fishing in the pond, and hiking up into the woods. We enjoyed our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Backwoods Retreat. The house was perfect and comfortable and dog friendly. We loved the peacefulness and solitude of the property grounds. Being able to view the wildlife from the front porch while drinking a cup of coffee was a wonderful bonus. Mike and Deanna are wonderful hosts and have done a fantastic job in making their guests feel welcome. We are looking forward to returning in the future.

Lovely home in the mountains

We thoroughly enjoyed oyr stay at this delightful home, surrounded by mountains and wildlife. The home was perfectly comfortable, abd welcoming to our two dogs. We loved the daily deer and turkey visits, playing cornhole , smores, and making memories. The location is just a shirt drive from the national park and is a great place to relax after adventuring in the park.

Perfect stay for a New River Gorge Trip

We had a fantastic stay at this quiet and clean cabin! The property is absolutely beautiful, with a spacious backyard and a great grill setup for outdoor meals. We were treated to amazing wildlife views every day, which made the experience even more special. The kids especially loved fishing in the pond! The location is also perfect—peaceful and relaxing, yet just a short drive from New River Gorge National Park. A wonderful place to unwind and explore the area.

A great way to visit the area. My husband fished on the pond every night and my son hiked up the property's trail to view the sunrise. Easy to access and not far from many Natl Park trails. Our hosts were very communicative and helpful. I hope to visit again.
