A Rustic Ravine Cabin Adventure

26 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents400 acres · Genoa, WV

West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort! The idea for creating a cabin rental/camping vacation getaway in the Allegheny Mountain Range came to life over several meetings at a Bob Evans restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, between co-owners Paul and Christy Liimatta and Joe Boffo. Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge. Come and judge for yourself ;)

Cozy Cabin W/ Lake View & Hot Tub

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Catlettsburg, KY

Welcome to our Little Lakeview Cabin. We set this up for the perfect couples getaway, the view in the fall is breath taking. Morning coffee on the covered front porch, watching the leaves fall and steam rise from the lake is just 😍. Our location is settled in nicely, get the remote feeling, without being super remote. Distance from destination points: * Camp Landing Entertainment District - 15 mins * Tri State Airport - 15 mins * Rush Off Road Park - 15 mins * Grayson Lake - 35 mins * Greenbo Lake - 40 mins * Yatesville Lake - 40 mins * Cave Run Lake - 1.5 hr We are also within delivery area for food partners / Walmart delivery if you prefer to stay in. Now for the goods, Why is it the perfect little getaway you ask? Not only is the cabin in a quiet neighborhood nested on a hill by itself with the perfect view. We have a fenced in side yard with a hot tub, which offers privacy for those (well you know) moments. You’ll also have access to a propane grill, Outdoor heater (seasonal only), Outdoor games (Corn hole, Giant Connect 4), Fire pit over looking the lake with seating (We provide one bundle of wood, more can be purchased or you can bring your own). Not looking to be outdoors? No problem, we have some board games available to play, a Roku TV (maybe cozy up and watch a movie), and a Game System preloaded with games to play! This location does not have cell phone service that works very well, which is the perfect time to disconnect from the world. We do offer WIFI, if you choose to be connected, also It powers our Roku Tv. Our cabin is an open floor plan, as you can see from the photos. We have a queen size bed with sheets that will knock you out faster then (Fred Flintstone) only some will know who that is. Our couch / futon folds out and can accommodate 2 more people kind of snug. We have a full oven with cooking utensils and spices. Mini Fridge with freezer with enough space to store food for a few days. K Cup coffee machine with creamer and k cups on hand. We would like to think we have everything you need to make yourself at home, minus clothes. If you find your self needing something that should be there. Let us know, this is a fresh new build and you will be one of the first guest to stay and enjoy our cozy cabin. We also offer Self Check In, you will receive your door code the day of check in. So you can come and go as you please. Note: We do have a security camera in place, showing the traffic coming up the hill in to the driveway. This is the only location with camera access, so you can retain the privacy you desire. Also we designed this cabin for 2 people comfortably, however as mentioned above, the futon can accommodate to smaller individuals as needed. With that said we have a cap of 4 occupants maximum.
