Rental Cabins, Beer, and Me: A Love Story

The first beer I ever tasted sucked.  I was 8 or 9 and it was a Michelob.  I still don’t like Michelob. I didn’t give up, though. I tried other beers (especially if no one was looking), and eventually found some I liked. Fast forward 40 years.  I’m traveling in the Czech republic with my […]

How To Accidently Get Into The Cabin Rental Business

15 years is a long time.  I know, because I am old. After the first 10 years of building the business and the cabins from the ground up, I started to notice I was not being as good a host as I once was.  Go figure- I was burned out! I’m not complaining. I just […]

The (Secret) Green Story Of Opossum Creek Retreat

Here in the New River Gorge, our rental cabins were green before green was cool. I’ve been called a tree huggin’ Hippy. I don’t know about the hippy part, but, yes, I’ve hugged a tree. Okay, many trees. I have also cut them down. It feels great to see it falling right where you had hoped, […]
