Lost River Forest, Almost Heaven
First off-grid cabin experience…
And I loved it.
I didn’t use the propane lights or stove, because I had solar lights and cooked on the wood stove, so I can’t speak to those.
But the stove was able to get the cabin really warm, even in weather that went down to the 20’s. The temperature often got up to about 80 in the cabin, and I’d have to open a window until it cooled off
The bed was comfortable, as was the furniture.
The property is beautiful, and a lot of the time it was eerily quiet, not even the sounds of birds. It is a mountain and very sloped. I didn’t get to explore as much because I’m recovering from a knee and ankle injury and just wasn’t steady enough on the steep terrain, but hopefully I can come back in a few months and be able to wander more.
My only suggestions would be some solar lights or colored reflectors at the bottom of the driveway because I arrived at night and drove past it, the road is really steep and there aren’t a lot of good places to turn around. Also, I wish there was a full length mirror, because after being outside, I found a tick on me (it’s the woods of course) but I was alone and couldn’t really do a good check for more.
All in all, Enis’s place is beautiful, comfortable, and a great way to get out and unplug.

Cabin getaway
What a perfect few days away! It was a mini adventure driving in and being so remote. The cabin was perfect and the natural spring was so convenient. The host and his son were super sweet. We will be back. Thanks!

This cabin was a little slice of heaven for a weekend! Without any of the distraction of modern amenities (no cell service, wifi, electricity, or plumbing), we managed to have all we needed for a comfortable and fun escape in the beautiful West Virginia woods.
Enis provides everything you need (and nothing you don't). Having an abundance of firewood was a gift, as we heavily used the outdoor firepit and indoor wood stove to keep us cozy (and well fed). While fun to have the option to cook over open flame, it was even better to know we had the propane stove inside for backup.
Also, the road up is no joke. All part of the adventure and making this feel truly off grid, the access road to the cabin should not be underestimated. We managed fine in an AWD RAV4, but I wouldn't recommend attempting with anything lower to the ground than an SUV. I can't wait to make a return trip to the magic cabin!

This little cabin was the perfect getaway. Its tidy and warm and has everything you need to be comfortable. The location is spectacular. We had a wonderful time and hope to return. Lots of space to explore. I would truly recommend a 4x4 vehicle though. We have a front wheel drive SUV that has traversed lots of rough forest roads, and this one nearly bested us with some prolonged deep mud patches.

Awesome cabin! I spent a long weekend here for a solo retreat and it was very comfortable, functional and secluded. The October foliage and weather was beautiful!! My clanky 2004 Honda CR-V made it there and back, but not without a new minor bruise to be honest, so be careful. I also picked up cell signal about 10 minutes up the hill (AT&T), so didn’t need to go too far if I had to have it. But I was quite happy to not see another soul, and the largest animal I saw was a squirrel (for better or worse). The cabin had no issue with bugs or leaks or anything, a bit of a gas smell from the propane but with the windows open it was fine. Recommended!

Very peaceful and secluded. Would definitely go back here again. Was able to get to the cabin in a stock Forester so something with all wheel drive and a little ground clearance is fine. There was a tree down across the trail on the way in so bring a chain and a saw or chainsaw just in case.
