Hatfield McCoy Trail System. We're not on a noisy trail, we're just about the right distance away to let you have some peace and quiet while still being close enough to jump right on the trail for a day's adventure! Pappy's Cabin at the Pond is located on a secluded 77 acres of wilderness. It's unlike anything you've ever experienced! Lots of fun for the entire family! Pappy's Log Cabin sits in the middle of a secluded 77 acres of West Virginia Mountain Forest. Furnished with many antiques, books and hymnals, the cabin makes a perfect setting for family singing and story telling. Some of the cabin's amenities include two stone fireplaces that heats the cabin with natural gas logs. All you have to do is push a button to get the fire started, the cabin heat is thermostat controlled. The cabin is outfitted with cathedral wood ceiling and exposed beams with sleeping quarters in the balcony and a large bedroom with a large queen sized bed and private 1/2 bath. Under the balcony you will find the bathroom and kitchen areas. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, sink, linen closet and commode. The kitchen contains an island, natural gas cooking stove, sink and eat-in bar. The front porch of the cabin is outfitted with a antique wrought-iron dinette set, gas grill with side burner, rocking chair and a six foot swing big enough to lay down on. The entire cabin is powered by 12V solar power. Fun, convenience and taking it easy. Three key elements for people of all ages to enjoy. When you stay here, only your group will have access to the entire 77 Acres and all of the fun things to do. This is a unique place to spend a relaxing time away. Our master bedrooms have more square footage than entire floor plans of those "mini" cabins you see elsewhere. Water Ways Fun Park is located just minutes down the road. Fun for the entire family! Our pond is a 400 foot body of water with a 40 foot boat dock and two boats. One boat is a paddle boat for leisure and laid back fun while the other boat is a row boat for fishing and exercise. Your group will be the only ones in the water! Speaking of water, the pond is full of fish. Bluegill, Large Mouth Bass, Catfish, Koi and Goldfish populate it's depths. All the fishing you would like to do. Kids have a ball here! Catch and release only please so that others may enjoy the next catch! Did we mention, your group will be the only folks on the water? Over the pond, you'll find a zip-line that starts up in the woods and ends in the water. Kids love it! The water is 15 feet deep under the zip line. There's a home made 35 foot slide down the hill and into the water. You can play, swim or just float around in the pond. And did I mention, you'll have the entire pond all to yourselves? On Pappy's 77 Acre Wood, hiking trails are available and ramble through the mountains. The trails are marked and easy to follow. We have a lot of wildlife around the cabin such as: deer, turkey, squirrels, hawks, owls, woodpeckers and many other small animals and birds. Please remember, our trails are for walking/hiking only. We don't allow ATVs on our trails. Did I mention that your family will be the only folks on the trails? The outdoor fire pit is a great place to roast marsh-mellows and hotdogs. The great thing about it is that it's very easy to use. As with our stone fireplace in the cabin, the outdoor fire pit is started by using a natural gas burner to start the wood burning. It is nice just to sit around and enjoy the quiet solitude of the Appalachian Moutains under a blanket of bright stars because there's no city-lights! Located just inside Lincoln County West Virginia off of State Route 3, we're within riding distance to the Old Ivy Branch Trail (Formerly of the Hatfield McCoy Trail System) and we're just a short drive of 8.5 miles to the Old Little Coal River Trail (Formerly of the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System) in Boone County West Virginia. You can park your trailer full of ATVs at the cabin and when you're ready, just hook up your trailer and head on out to the Hatfield-McCoy Trails for an exciting ride on your quad in the mountains! Just down the road a piece, you'll find a country store with a little bit of everything. If you can't find what you want there, we're about 30 minutes or so to the South Ridge Mall, Dudley Farms Mall and Trace Fork Mall areas of Charleston West Virginia where you can purchase just about everything and anything you might need. There's also a variety of restaurants located there as well. Some of our other amenities include a log-cabin playhouse for the little ones to play in, a see-saw and a swing that hangs down 25 feet from a walnut tree that is fun for all ages. Our well was "hand dug" in the 1800's and is still in use today through a hand-operated pump that the kids enjoy playing with. With all this, you don't have to leave the 77 acres to have lots of family fun.
