Golden Anchor Cabins

Reviews & Tips

  My wife and I honeymooned here 3 years ago.  We were looking to get away from the crowds and just hang out by ourselves and that's exactly what we got.  The cabin we stayed in, the King, was nicely appointed.  Through the front windows we had an AWESOME view of the ridges leading up to Dolly Sods, and we enjoyed all the amenities like a private hot tub out back, big shower and the big porch.  Ron and Rella, the owners, were great at meeting all of our needs as well.  If you get a chance, chat with Ron over a drink about how he came to own a set of cabins in West Virginia; he's had quite the life so far.
  
  Please note: I will say that one potential issue for folks could be the food.  When we went the restaurant across the field in the barn wasn't that great (not terrible, just not notable either).  The big problem here is that there's not really any restaurants or even grocery stores until you get about 25 minutes down the road (there's a Shop 'N' Save in Davis).  So, come to Golden Anchor, but come with a cooler stocked up with and use the kitchen in your cabin.  Because the restaurant wasn't stellar, I've gotta give 4 stars.
  
  For local activities we recommend checking out Dolly Sods for some hiking, horseback riding at a farm toward Davis (I forget the name but we had a blast) and maybe driving to see Seneca Rocks and even Spruce Knob.  On our last morning we actually drove 3.5 hours away and did white water rafting with ACE on the New River.  Super long day but totally worth it.
  
  If you're looking to just get away from everyone, relax and enjoy the great outdoors, Golden Anchor hits the spot.

  My wife and I just returned from a two night stay at the Honeymoon Royale cabin.  I expected the cabins to be hidden in the woods, but the property is right off the main road.  They are exceptionally quiet, however.  The main office was not indicated off the driveway, but we guessed (correctly) that the restaurant with the same name also contained the front desk.  An older gentleman greeted us and gave us a few tips regarding the cabin.  Service was friendly and personal.  The cabin was amazing.  I didn't expect so many small luxuries such as heated flooring in the bathroom and full body jets in the shower.  There was a full kitchen, Bose sound system, and satellite TV.  There really was everything and more we expected.  I took off a star due to no internet access and the owners requesting the guests remove and prep the dirty linens and remove their own trash.  I don't mind the work, but a five star resort would be expected to do everything for the guests.  For a getaway in the mountains, it doesn't get much better than this.
