Riverfront / Fishing / Elk Rail Trails / 4-bedroom house in beautiful Duck
Riverfront Retreat on the Elk River! Welcome to your perfect riverside getaway. Cast a line and enjoy excellent bass & trout fishing right from the property! Bring your kayak for a float down the winding river. Located at the Elk River Trail Head perfect for walking, biking, or horseback riding along the scenic paths. After a day of fun, unwind around the fire pit under the stars or relax on the balcony & watch deer, ducks, geese, beavers, & otters play in the wild.
Take a step back in time at Duck Trails! This is a charming 1925 home with modern amenities where every room is its own experience! Nestled along the Elk River Trail, you’ll find hiking, biking, and horseback riding just outside the front door, along with fishing, floating, and local folklore to explore.
Inside, the adventure continues: drift into the calming Riverside Room, step back in time in the Speakeasy Suite, chase local legends in the Bigfoot Bunk, or ride the rails in the Conductor’s Cabin. Each room is decorated with vintage furniture and paired with written descriptions to immerse you in the history and spirit of West Virginia and the 1920s.
At Duck Trails, your stay is more than just a getaway — it’s a step back in time filled with stories, charm, and adventure.
