Stayed in the stone house. My impression was as the owners simply given up on the upkeep of this place... No air conditioner. Dirty and smells as cat urine. Advertised as a river view, in reality, a dumpster across the street. Then a small cliff that leads to a dried up (to no fault of the resort, just time of year) river bed. Would not recommend!

Stayed here with friends (5 adults total 1 dog) in February 2021. Our favorite parts: pet-friendly, daily-serviced hot tub, effective heating, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, and a large dining table where we could all sit. It took us about 45 minutes to get to White Grass for cross-country skiing. Simply and comfortably-enough-for-campers furnished.

Over spring break my Son and his girl friend drove up from Florida and as I needed some great R&R we booked The Big Polar Cabin. I had stayed in the lodge years ago and truly enjoyed it but this time we wanted the perfect cabin and that is exactly what we got! All the comforts of home but with a hot tub and the cabin was feet away from the river. I took the bedroom with the view of the river but even better was the sounds of the river as I slept in my comfy bed. The (adult) kids took the loft and enjoyed the stars at night from their skylight window (one bedroom was empty as it sleeps 6) The kitchen has everything you need and the wood burning stove was great for the cooler nights. Scott came by every day and checked the hot tub, took the trash, stocked firewood and we all enjoyed his conversation and love of the area. Check in was effortless and house keeping made sure we had everything we needed. As a world traveler, I wish I'd known about this hidden gem right in my WV State. The owners are delightful and take great pride in the lodge and all their cabins. Peaceful, 1/4 mile of private fishing and boy did we fish and caught all our fish on the stretch of river behind our cabin. None of that elbow to elbow fishing when they stock trout as we had this portion of the river to ourselves. The Big Poplar puts the heaven in "Almost Heaven West Virginia". We even extended our stay with no complication, well there was one. My cell got service and I got called back to work early. My advice to all looking for a great cabin and true relaxation book with The Cheat River Lodge and remember to turn your phone off! Thank you to Roxy and her staff...we will be back next year booking several cabins for a bigger family retreat!

Our cabin was very clean, beautiful scenery, very peaceful atmosphere. Had a situation come up and Scott the property manager was right there to get the situation corrected in a timely and professional manner. Only thing we would change is instead of staying 3 days next year it will be a week for sure. Once again Scott thank you for making our stay enjoyable. C-ya next year.

We had a lovely family vacation 8/31-9/6. We stayed in the Poplar cabin. The beds were comfortable and our cabin was very tidy. This property is naturally beautiful and secluded. We were able to tube right from our backyard. The hot tub is well maintained and. checked daily. The staff.is very friendly and helpful. This is not a Hilton Hotel, so if you are expecting that this is not the place for you however if you love the outdoors, want to get away and stay in a clean, comfortable cabin that has been well loved then this is the place for you. We look forward to returning!!!

If the odor of mildew trapped in a home that has no air conditioning or circulation is your idea of a terrific getaway accommodation, then the Stone House is for you! If you enjoy being overrun by feral cats, come to the Cheat River Lodge! If your idea of a river view is needing to look beyond the dumpster directly in front of your cabin, you'll love this place! To be fair, there were ample linens provided and the hot water never ran out and the hot tub was clean. Aside from that, not a particularly enjoyable stay.

Worst experience I have ever had with lodging internationally or domestic for work or personal travel. "Cheat" River Lodge is an appropriate name. They care more about taking your money than provide a great customer experience and services. They were not willing to help out customers given the COVID-19 situation especially where states the guests resided were requiring shelter in place. They only care about what WV state restricted (no NY or NJ guests allowed. Funny they acknowledged that, but did not care about our state's policy. I had two high risks guests (father 72 years old and military vet) and they still would not cancel and refund our money initially. We will push it out 30 days...which is not helpful given the severity and potential risk to my other guests. The owner hung up when I was explaining our situation and that per the Governor of Ohio's policy...we were not allowed to leave per legal authority. She hung up on me mid-sentence as I respectfully pushed this issue given the unfairness and treatment. I had to call her back. She did not care and only talked about her employees. My wife and I have a small business and had to refund our customer's money even though it put our business and employee’s livelihood at risk because we could not provide the service the customer paid for. Their money is not ours until we provide and fulfill the service. Multiple times "Cheat" River Lodge did not return email correspondences requesting updates. It should not be the customers responsibility to have to continually request updates. That's not how we treat our customers. Customers are how you and your employees have a job. The customer is not here to just transfer their money too you and your employees’ pockets. Finally, we got 90% of our money back after they rebooked all 3 nights. Then they charged us a 10% credit card fee!!!

We reserved the tree house cabin for 3 nights. The property is dated and the outside space was not clean (think a dirty BBQ, dirty table and chairs). Does not have a 'river view'; the river can barely be seen through the thick trees. Generally overpriced for what it is. We reported an issue and subsequently spent the whole day on the phone with a long chain of people involved in the property management, before finally getting through to the owner, who asked us - in a defensive and unpleasant manner - to vacate the property so that the issue could be addressed. She offered us to stay in one of her hotel rooms instead, but at that point we preferred to leave the premises all together.
