Glamping on Timber Ridge

2 sites · Lodging12 acres · Seneca Rocks, WV
Our property was a small family farm for several generations. Our family purchased the property about 18 years ago. Since we are not farmers but love living here, the question became "What would be the best use for the land?" Living in a scenic area and already being in the vacation rental business on some other family property answered the question. We decided to share the beautiful view and seclusion of our area with others. Our goal was to keep the cost of building down so that we could pass on the savings to you so that you would not have to be rich to enjoy our lovely area. This inspired the idea of a glamping cabin. The cabin is actually a repurposed office building that was built about the time this property was purchased by our family. We moved it to the present location and completely remodelled it in 2018 and added the bathroom. For 4 years, guests enjoyed an off-the-grid experience. In 2023, when we began work on the glamping dome (stay tuned--coming soon!!), we decided to add electricity, running water, and a hot tub to the tiny house! We hope you enjoy the cabin (and, soon, the dome) and the stunning view from them as much as we enjoy sharing this beautiful spot with you! Note: The Charming Glamping Cabin is at a totally different property. That property also has a section that used to be farmed. Now a lot of it is forest. We purchased the property around 2000. This cabin was built approx. 10 years later. At that point, the cabin was a tiny economy cabin with a sofa bed. However, it seemed most folks preferred comfort over economy, so in 2020, we added a bump-out to the side of the cabin so there would be room for a queen bed. Guests have loved the improvement. (: Please read the individual site descriptions for more information on each of our listings.

The best camping near Holly River State Park guide

Overview

About

You don’t hear much about Holly River State Park, because most of their regular visitors don’t want to let the cat out of the bag. One of West Virginia’s best-kept secrets, this densely wooded park takes you far away from city life, onto 8100 acres of narrow valley nestled between peaks that climb as high as 2800 feet! Cell service is almost non-existent, but the office has wi-fi, as does the full-service restaurant, great for when you get tired of hot dogs.

Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa Falls, Shupe’s Chute, and Potato Knob all serve as great destinations for hikers and photographers alike—the steep climb to the Knob is a great workout that pays out in breathtaking views from 2480 feet. Wooded pathways and decks weave around the falls, and log cabins with stone fireplaces are peppered throughout the grounds. Park staff lead hayrides and marshmallow roasts, and even put on a haunted campground in October! Visit in the fall for Irish road bowling contests, or Labor Day weekend for live music, potato peeling contests, and tons more at the Holly River Fest.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Holly River State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural world is in full bloom or awash with autumnal colors. Summer brings warmth perfect for water activities, though it can be crowded. Winters are quiet but can be chilly, so pack accordingly.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's website for any alerts on trail closures or weather advisories before your visit.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the diverse terrain.
  • Remember to pack out all trash and leave the park as pristine as you found it.
  • Cell service may be limited, so plan your route and communicate with your group in advance.
  • Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to bring extra supplies.
