Rich Mountain Retreat - secluded mountain cabin Our cabin is remotely located near Rich Mountain Battlefield in Randolph County, West Virginia. If you want privacy and seclusion, this is the place. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a quiet break from the daily grind in life. Rural living brings peace & tranquility along with things you might not be used to - singing birds early in the morning, fire flies & buggy creatures that are normal in the outdoors, plus a total lack of street lights. You're in the country - enjoy it!THE SPACE-The upper (main) level of our cabin hosts an open floor plan (this means no defined bedrooms).

There are no other cabins or homes on the property or within view so its secluded and private, yet located within easy access to historic towns like Elkins and Beverly, West Virginia.Enjoy watching deer and wild turkey as you relax on the 10 foot porch that surrounds the cabin on three sides.
