Anniversary Getaway
My wife and I stayed the weekend for an anniversary getaway. The cabin was perfect! It had everything we needed and was so cozy and comfortable. My wife especially enjoyed the old cast iron tub! We enjoyed exploring and off-roading with our Jeep durning the day, and cooking amazing meals together at night. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. Dianh was a wonderful host and very accommodating. We would definitely like to come back for another stay at some point.

Perfect getaway
Love the location nestled in the woods, the quiet brook burbling past the firepit, the homey pinewood interior, the fully stocked kitchen, the delicious jam and cookies gift. We stayed two nights while climbing Nelson Rocks and wish we had stayed longer. Thanks so much for your hospitality...if I owned a cabin like that, I'd never leave!

Welcoming Cabin
The log cabin is very welcoming, front porch decorated with flowers and ferns, extra blankets and throws for cold nights-even on the rocking chair and swinging bench on the porch. It is in the hills, very quiet with a small creek runnning along the side of the house. Franklin is not a touristy town but we ate at 3 good restaurants and the closest grocery store is surprisingly big, everyting you need. Overall a very good, restful vacation.

The coziest of cabins
Our stay in this cozy cabin could not have been more perfect! From the babbling brook to the tranquil surroundings, this spot is truly a slice of heaven! Check in could not have been easier and we were even greeted with jam and fresh apples! Neighbors were friendly in passing and we just enjoyed being unplugged for the weekend. We hiked, played in the creek, made campfires, laid in the hammock and enjoyed many games of Checkers on the front porch. It was a quintessential Fall weekend in WV and this little rustic cabin was absolutely perfect for our needs!

Amazing as Always
Just as clean, cozy, and comfortable as it was two years ago. We did a little more cooking inside than anticipated due to the weather, but found everything we needed, from a measuring cup to a little aluminum foil and plastic wrap. It really does feel like home while you are here.

Our Anniversary Get-Away
Alpha's Log Cabin in the woods exceeded our expectations held when we selected this location for our 37th anniversary get-away. The cabin itself is a wonderful lodging place located on a beautiful secluded wooded site where no other dwellings are in view, with a well-kept small yard and attractive flower/shrub beds that all served to give us a nestled-in, very comfortable feeling. The specially themed cabin was very tidy and amenities very well organized; we felt right at home. Dinah even graciously provided us with the added special touch of anniversary best wishes complete with tasty cookies and jam! Adding to an already-superb setting, Alpha's Log Cabin comes complete with a babbling brook that one can view right from the front porch (while relaxing and sipping on hot coffee), front and back yards, and even from the kitchen window! During our stay we thoroughly enjoyed the gurgling sounds of this creek as the water flowed across the rocky streambed. Several different songbirds, including a whip-poor-will with its night song, provided great background music. With all of these experiences in hand, we absolutely loved our anniversary get-away stay at Alpha's Log Cabin!

We had an absolutely amazing time. There were so many thoughtful aspects put into the property from things you may have forgotten to things to do. It was so peaceful and homey. Everything was spotless and clean. We will be back for a summer trip. The snow we got to see was the cherry on top of the trip.

Weekend Heaven
The cabin was beautiful, clean, and just what we were hoping for. The seclusion makes for great star gazing and animal watching, I was fortunate to have my coffee on the porch while watching deer. The wood fireplace was probably my favorite part. We definitely plan on using the cabin more in the future. Dinah was a fantastic host and was easy to contact/communicate with!

Charming Cabin
Wow, Dinah was wonderful about giving accurate directions to her charming cabin. So many thoughtful touches made us feel welcome. We had everything we needed for a delightful two-night stay. We enjoyed a hike at the Dolly Sods (1.5 hr drive) and lunch at the Gateway Family Restaurant. We also enjoyed browsing the flea market in Franklin, but our favorite activity was hanging out at the cabin! Thanks, Dinah!

Lovely Cabin
I cannot tell you how sweet and charming this cabin is in words! It sits far back off the main road, at the end of a private gravel side road. In the morning we could hear the moo's of cattle in a neighboring pasture faintly echo off the hillsides. It had a big front porch for drinking coffee on. The host has a little bit of everything you could need while keeping the cabin very organized and nicely decorated. She was thoughtful without being overbearing or having any tedious requests. It was a little distance from Seneca Rocks as you have to navigate around the curvey mountain pass. German Valley is on the way though and it gives you something to stop and admire on your way in and out that direction. I will brag to everyone about the little cabin in the woods!

Really delightful stay!
We were looking for a “little house on the prairie” experience with the children where we could just relax and play with them and it was perfect! We read a few chapters (edited) of Tom Sawyer to the kids, had a picnic in the grassy field, explored around the creek, laid in the hammock, had s’mores over the campfire, and all of our meals at the round table in the kitchen! It was really sweet, slow and just what we were looking for! Thank you for hosting well!!

Beautiful log cabin next to a small stream down a private dirt road. Includes all kitchenware, towels, sheets, candles, matches/lighter, books and crayons, streaming tv, a/c in bedroom, ceiling fans and comfortable furniture. Has a charcoal grill, a fire-pit with grill, a variety of outdoor seating to include a hammock! All amenities in excellent working order, even hot water and water pressure! Multiple personal, homey touches through out, they thought of everything, even foil and plastic wrap! Love the welcome gift of cookies and jam waiting for us! So thoughtful, thank you! Saw two small bucks going across the yard up into the woods the evening we got there! We had a most enjoyable and relaxing weekend, much needed, thank you!
