No, it is not a hoax. I got that question many times over the past week or so. I guess it sounds too good to be true. It is true, though. Just a couple thank you notes from Veterans who stayed free with us this weekend: “Thanks so much for the ‘Free Veterans Stay’ at […]
2 Free Nights for Veterans Day Deal
Free to: Any Veteran 2 free nights, Nov. 8 & 9 or 10 & 11, 2013 Yes, it is free. The Deal For the past few years, we have been giving a free cabin to veterans on Veterans Day in honor of our friends and family who have served. Not the whole cabin. Just […]
Shutdown Be Damned!
Shutdown be damned! Bridge day is really happening anyway. It’s Official. “We will have Bridge Day even if the government is shut down,” said Sharon Cruikshank of the Fayette County Chamber of Commerce. Yes, it will be a little different, but who will notice? My guess is no one. All the security and traffic control […]
Cleanliness is next to…
Cleanliness is next to Ossumness! Our guests always rank cleanliness at the very top of the scale on the exit surveys— something we are very proud of and work hard to ensure. Actually, now that I add them up, it is easily the highest-rated category. Looks like we need to work on signs, and we […]
HELP WVU!

Whitewater Wonderland

They had me at…
They had me at Dangerous! The Via Ferrata. No, this is not really about our cabins, but some things are worth talking about, even if you won’t get any cabin bookings from it. I really did not pay any attention to the planning, as I was going on this end-of-summer family trip regardless of what […]
Do What?
In a Cabin? In West Virginia? You are doing what? Does it have electricity? People do all kinds of things here at OCR: Start writing books. Finish books (a woman stayed in cabin 3 writing for a month because she was “on a roll”.) Paint. Get married. Get inspired to get married. Get inspired to […]
Speed Puddles
Puddles. I hope this is my nickname in my old age. I was talking to a guest and he was going on about what a great area the Gorge is, how much he liked the cabins, how private and peaceful it was, and how great restaurants in Fayetteville were. And then he asked, “Why don’t […]
