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!
Okay, we need your help. Well, WVU needs your help. Well, WVU and New River Gorge CVB. We all need your help. We will bribe you to help us, too. It is easy; it will take a few minutes. It’s just a quick survey. And if you are like me, you will get mad at […]

Mowing Grass is Our Least Favorite Chore at Opossum Creek Retreat
I hate to mow! Especially hate it in the spring when all the pretty flowers are coming up. Only two of the cabins really have yards; The Meadows and The Farm House. All the others are in the woods. But even with just two yards, we still have to mow. The Farm House has rich […]
