Lovely Trip! My husband and I stayed in a treehouse at The Cabins at Pine Haven and LOVED it! It was relaxing to get away and be in nature, but we were also just a short drive from town and activities. We went to New River Gorge National Park and Preserve which was nearby and it had amazing views. There were also cool trails to go on that we both loved. I would highly recommended stopping by there! The Treehouse was great and we loved the hot tub. The whole vibe to the place was awesome and it was so cute inside! Can't wait to come again!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Fantastic Weekend Trip The Cabins at Pine Haven is a great place for a weekend getaway! The whole cabin community was peaceful and relaxing. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin which was exceptionally clean and very well stocked. The extra amenities were wonderful (coffee packets, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tabs, bathroom soaps and shampoo, etc.) as well. I would definitely recommend The Cabins at Pine Haven for anyone seeking a lovely mountain getaway in a beautiful cabin.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Love staying at the Cabins. I have stayed here several times in different cabins over several years. For quick couple's getaway or fun weekend with the kids. Always clean, always friendly staff. Love the decor of cabins. Each cabin having its own hot tub is big plus. This location is my "go to" when I need to stay in Beckley.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
