Private Cottage With View of Beautiful Abrams Creek The Retreat Cottage is a funky old country house; it is not a lace-doily kind of place. Everything works, and everything is clean, but stylistically it is country hodgepodge. It is the kind of place you can be comfortable bringing your friends, kids, or dogs without walking on tiptoes so as not to disturb anything. If that fits your style, I think you would enjoy it, as well as the beautiful setting next to a whitewater stream. For people who delight in nature, it can be a deeply satisfying place to be.It has a full kitchen, full bathroom, washer and dryer. There is a bedroom on the first floor with two sets of twin bunk beds, and a pull-out queen bed in the living room. On the second floor, there is a queen bed, a twin daybed, and a twin trundle bed. There is WiFi and satellite TV in the cottage, as well as a landline phone with free long distance (in case your cell phone does not have reception). The cottage is fully furnished with beds, chairs, couch, tables, and other necessary furniture. We also provide pillows, blankets, sheets, towels, coffee maker, pots, pans, plates and silverware.Outside, there is a picnic table, a hammock, a charcoal grill, and a fire ring. We are located near the town of Mount Storm, WV. VRBO often gives inaccurate distances to other points of interest in the area. Please use a mapping program to get accurate times and distances. In particular we are 45 minutes to an hour from Deep Creek Lake.We sell charcoal, charcoal lighter fluid, fire starter, and firewood, all at very competitive prices. (Please do not bring your own firewood. This can spread many tree diseases that can harm our beautiful forests!)Dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash when outside the cottage. Most other pets are not allowed; please call if you have specific questions.The cottage is near the entrance to a campground and retreat center in the Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia. A wild and wonderful white water stream permeates the bouldered and hemlock forested property.Abrams Creek is near many extraordinary recreational sites, but is also its own destination. Many people love exploring the varied ecosystems that are here.In some places, the stream is a constant source of energy and playfulness; in other places, it is peaceful and calming, inviting you to soak in its beauty. The forest offers a vast array of plants, and signs of wildlife are everywhere.Mount Storm (3 miles) has a general store, gas station, library, motel, sports and recreation store, and public park.Other Things to Note:You may check in anytime after 3PM until 10PM, or later by arrangement. Our usual check out time is noon. If you need more flexible check in or check out times, please contact us!There is a full range of amenities, but no air conditioning--because in the mountains, you won't need it! The high temperature during the hottest months is usually below 80, and rarely gets above 85, at which time the house will be 10 degrees cooler. No recycled, "conditioned" air needed--you get to breath pure mountain air all the time!
