A Quiet Cabin Escape Near Coopers Rock State Forest

Coopers Rock State Forest is one of West Virginia's must-see natural wonders. The forest has wowed locals and tourists alike since its establishment in 1936. Its breathtaking centerpiece, Cooper's Rock, is a chain of sandstone cliffs towering over the Cheat River Gorge. The park draws visitors for its stunning views as well as opportunities to hike, bike, climb, cross-country ski, fish, and river raft. We've dug up an ideal Airbnb for enjoying Coopers Rock State Forest. The Homestead is a secluded modern cabin in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, perfectly situated for enjoying the great outdoors while basking in luxurious accommodations.

The Homestead comfortably accommodates six guests, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first bedroom has a queen-sized bed, while the second and third bedrooms have double beds. Each beautiful bedroom has wooden-planked walls and plush, comfortable bedding; guests can enjoy a rustic, woodsy environment and a great night's sleep.

The cabin's kitchen provides everything guests need to prepare delicious meals. It has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, dishes, silverware, and a coffee maker. I'm fond of hearty breakfasts on vacation, and this kitchen seems like the perfect place to whip up a morning feast.

There are two full bathrooms with modern amenities. One has a massive walk-in shower with stunning herringbone tile and a bench. Because the cabin is secluded, there aren't any window treatments.

The Homestead's outdoor amenities are nothing short of spectacular. The wrap-around deck has several sitting areas where you can enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the mornings or a heavenly cocktail in the evenings. There's also a fire pit and hot tub, where guests note you can enjoy the stars.

The Airbnb has several other amenities, including a washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, an indoor fireplace, and an outdoor grill. Pets are also allowed. My four-legged family member would love exploring the grassy area around the log cabin.
