Golden Anchor Cabins

We stayed in 2 different rooms and we loved them both. Obviously the Royale was more luxurious than the pond view but the they were both amazing and so comfortable and relaxing. I think Pondview has the best view but the Royale is the most romantic. The people who take care of the place are really nice and friendly too! So convenient for people interested in Blackfalls, Dolly Sods, Smoke Hole Caverns, Seneca Rocks and all the other awesome attractions nearby.

The cabin looked wonderful. Great bathroom and kitchen. The wifi was not hooked up to the internet (not that big of a deal to me). The front door would not lock and they seid they couldn’t fix it until the next day. This was not the best wedding anniversary we had.

Where to begin… We arrived on a motorcycle and it was a little chilly. We were greeted with a smile at the restaurant when we signed in. When we walked into the Royale cabin… it took our breath away. It was warm and there was mood music playing on the stereo. The atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for.
The cabin was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The shower was simply amazing! The bed was extremely comfortable and the hot tub was clean and ready for use. We loved having the towel warmer and the robes to wear while we were there.
The only thing I have negative to say is in the afternoon you could hear a lot of road noise and it took away from the cabin in the woods feel. Other than that it was perfect and a stay that we will always remember and cherish. If you are looking for a romantic getaway… look no further. You will not be disappointed in your stay here. Daniel, thanks for answering emails questions promptly when I had them. Keep up the good work… we will definitely be back!

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.
