Activities Details

The surrounding area offers many activities for our visitors. Our own property, 160 acres nestled in the Appalachians, is crisscrossed with hiking trails. We are also mere minutes from the Cooper’s Rock State Forest, offering even greater exploration of our mountains. Cheat Lake is a short drive away, and the hills are dotted with interesting parks and waterways open to the public.

  • If it’s personal, special attention you’d like, it doesn’t get any better than Spa Roma. This full-service spa offers several types of massage therapy, master hair stylists, beauty services, and much more. Book some time here and you will come out feeling like a whole new person. Workaholics walk away from massage therapy transformed! Spa Roma is very close by, and we’ll be glad to point you there.

  • At Mountain Creek Cabins, we make and bottle our own genuine maple syrup, right here on the property. The entire process is in-house and the sap comes from our own trees. For information about maple syrup season, please contact us.

  • Cheat Lake is just a short drive away, and once there, Sunset Beach Marina can provide a ramp for your boat, or rent one of theirs to you for the day.

  • One of the best parts of a stay in the country is finding a genuine old-fashioned country store. For our guests, we’re fortunate to be able to share the secret of Hostetler’s Country Store! It’s a trip down memory lane for folks old enough to remember ‘em, and a great new experience for those young whippersnappers who don’t know what they’ve been missing!
  • If you like winter sports, Wisp Resort is only 35 minutes from your cabin doorstep. We are also located within about a 1 hr drive of 3 other top ski resorts.
