Not the WHOLE family holiday

Being honest, would you take time to spend a holiday vacation with just your immediate family? You know, the ones who live under the same roof? Yeah, I mean not the WHOLE family, just the everyday ones. I know the holidays are family time, but does it have to be all of them, every time? […]

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 […]

Whitewater Wonderland

Epic, never seen before WHITEWATER WONDERLAND. Everyone has more whitewater than they know what to do with. What they don’t have is a quiet, cozy cabin tucked in the woods, and our inside info on how best to handle it. Don’t get me wrong, this Gauley River rafting season is going to be epic. More […]

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 […]

Disney, but Dirtier: The BSA Summit is Not All Sparkle, But it Shines

Wow! The BSA Summit is very “Disney-esque.” Very well organized; everyone knows what to do when. Amazing design, wonderfully constructed with attention to detail. Yes, they are still studying mud. I heard not one complaint about the mud. But there is lots of it. But the Tree House is perfect. What an amazing piece of […]

Out of my comfort zone?

What is better than a costume party? No, really, it is hard to make a party any better than starting with costumes and dressing up. It’s like Halloween in June. But there are a few things that really made this day in one of America’s “Coolest Small Towns” even better. Start with a town full […]

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 […]
