Cabin No. 12 - McKinley's Cabin

McKinley’s Cabin is our authentic, hand-hewn, 1840’s era log cabin with a hot tub, wood burning fireplace, and air-conditioning. Its charm is matched only by its coziness.  

This lovely hideaway includes a living area and complete kitchenette with apartment-sized appliances including microwave. Please be aware that the only freezer is a small compartment in the fridge. There is a spiral staircase leading to the upstairs bedroom where there is an antique brass bed.  Linens, towels and a generous portion of firewood are all provided.  At night, the dark star-lit sky will enchant you as you relax in your hot tub or roast s'mores over the fire.

The cabin is only a few minutes drive from Summersville Lake, the largest lake in West Virginia.  It has over 28,000 acres of water and 60 miles of shoreline.  Boating, water-skiing, swimming, scuba diving, picnicking, fishing, and biking are the favorite activities enjoyed by visitors. Technical rock climbing and whitewater rafting are available year-round, with scheduled whitewater releases below the dam on the world class Gauley River in September and October. 

The cabin is only 20 minutes from Fayetteville, named one of America’s Coolest Small Town by Budget Travel Magazine and Matador Networks.  Fayetteville is known by most as being the home of the New River Gorge Bridge, the longest arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere.  This foodie town, with a huge number of outdoor shops and boutiques, will delight everyone who visits.  

The cabin’s location is right off the road to the Carnifex Ferry Battleground State Park.  The State Park includes a museum and historical information, which appeals to Civil War and history buffs.  Couples and families love the miles of hiking trails, picnic facilities, and famed view of the Gauley River from the park.
