Since it was a 4 hour drive away and inclement weather was on the horizon, we stayed overnight at the Station 2 Restaurant & Motel-which was about a half hour away from Train Station. Not a problem as last minute beggars can't be choosy. This is the newest option the Greenbrier Express trip takes you through the northern most 15 mile portion of the original 95 mile section of this railroad. First constructed in 1902 by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway it is an amazing ride through time as you see remnants of a lumber mill and imagine what it was like during Cass's timber industry. It snowed the ENTIRE approximately 5 hour trip. They instructed us on the phone to expect frigid cold and to dress accordingly. There are restrooms on the train and it is not wheelchair or handicap accessible. SIDE NOTE: This train ride goes through a portion of Monongahela National Forest. This area is quite remote and what we hadn't considered is the WiFi connectivity. I have an iPhone and the hubster has an android. We drove at least 2 hrs with zero connection except when we were actually standing in a business. We ended up plugging in our gps directions in a business then went to the car.. That seemed to work. It is a remote area and we were told that an observatory also impacts radio signals in the area. It was also off season so a lot of things were closed.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Turtle Brook Farms and proprietors Claudia and Lea. The…read morefarm has two cabins that have all the amenities needed to "rough it, but not too much" - full kitchen, sitting area / living room, and a beautiful porch that looks out onto the gorgeous mountains. The skies are so clear, with so little "light pollution" you can see the Milky Way at night with the naked eye. Fish in Dragonfly pond, hike the trails, climb to the top of "The Ridge," ride horses, dip in the natural Warm Springs, visit the George Washington National Forest, go "antiquing," visit The Homestead for music, fireworks and "high tea," eat a 5-star meal at The Waterworks at The Gristmill Inn -- all these activities are literally within a 10-mile radius of the farm. Claudia and Lea are friendly, helpful and respectful of your privacy as guests. Could not ask for more gracious hosts. Highly recommended, and we will be returning. Definitely.

Stayed here for a five day vacation in August and it was fantastic! It's just a simple nice house…read more There's no TV or other electronics which was just fine with me and my girlfriend. You can hike + bike straight from the house. The views are gorgeous. There are two small houses on the property, a horse farm. The houses are perfect for two people. I suspect it would be good for a small family too.

I met the husband Chris as we were leaving, he was very pleasant and approachable. We arrived late, after dark, but the light and the heat had been turned on. The cabin is small but not cramped and all the basics included. hot plate, mini fridge, stand-up shower. The heat system is badass for cold nights. The wifi worked no problem but we didnt use it much. There was a tv on a wall mount but we never even turned it on. The bed was the best part, after a long trip I just hit it and was done.

My wife and I have stayed here 3 years in a row and we absolutely love the area, lots of trails for hiking, a near by Golf Course at Canaan Valley Resort, Seneca Rocks are close by for day time activities. The towns of Davis and Thomas are also close by with tons of good shops, breweries, and restaurants. We absolutely love this part of the country. The cabins have everything you need whether you want to stay in and cook in their fully equipped kitchen, all you need to bring is food & drinks! There are even Charcoal grills at every cabin and the Jacuzzi hot tubs are perfect to pass the mornings & evenings away. Our cabin Serenity had a pool table and bubble hockey game upstairs. Plenty of DVD's, dish network tv, puzzles, books, and some games. The beds are a little firm for our taste, but that is really the only negative that I have. Not ridiculous but just wish they were softer. We can't wait to go back next year!

I call it a resort because it absolutely fits the definition of a resort which is a place that is a popular destination for vacations or recreation, or which is frequented for a particular purpose. The destination is popular for all Canaan Valley activities (skiing, horse back riding, cavern exploration, etc). We frequent these cabins for recreation, relaxation, rest and recuperation. The cabins are second to none and the attention to detail is simply amazing. The cabins are decorated with five star quality and they all present that home away from home feeling. The kitchens have all the appliances, dishes, pots and pans that you need in order to prepare those home cooked meals while living in your home away from home. This was our second time visiting this luxury cabin resort and we decided to bring our brother and sister along for a birthday celebration. My wife and I stayed in the Royale Cabin and my Brother and sister stayed in the Majestic Cabin. When we arrived we walked right into our cabin and were amazed by the captivating appeal. The soft music was playing in the background and the cozy gas fireplace had the place warm and toasty inside. Both cabins were even meticulously decorated for Christmas holiday which was a very nice touch. Daniel & Jamie Marsh are Simply Outstanding and you can tell that they care about their customers experience. They have thought of everything in order to make your stay extremely enjoyable and relaxing to include the jacuzzi/Hot tub which was excellent during the winter nights. We will FOREVER support them and this astonishing luxury cabin resort because they understand professionalism, quality, customer appeal and customer service.
