3700ft Off-Grid Solar Cabin in Kumbrabow Forest w/ Fireplace & Stars

Escape to Star View Lodge at Kumbrabow State Forest, a true high-country gem perched at 3,700 feet elevation—one of West Virginia's highest spots for an unbeatable sense of peace and proximity to the stars. This off-grid solar-powered cabin on a private 2-acre parcel offers unbelievable quiet, stunning sunrises over the mountains, and nights so clear you feel like you can reach out and touch the Milky Way.
Key Features & Comforts:

True off-grid solar power with a backup generator if needed—reliable, eco-friendly energy in complete seclusion.
Fully stocked kitchen and propane grill for easy meals, indoors or out.
Cozy firepit for evening gatherings, roasting marshmallows, or simply soaking in the crackling warmth.
55-inch Smart TV for entertainment when you want a break from the stars.
Gated access for added privacy and security.

Adventure Right Outside Your Door:

Just 2 minutes to the entrance of Kumbrabow State Forest (West Virginia's highest state forest, spanning 9,474 acres from 3,000–3,930 feet elevation).
Miles of hiking trails, scenic overlooks (like Raven Rocks and Rich Mountain for 360-degree views), waterfalls along Mill Creek, and pristine native brook trout streams—perfect for fly fishing (check WV DNR regulations for licenses, seasons, and catch-and-release rules).
45 minutes to Snowshoe Mountain Resort for skiing, snowboarding, or summer mountain biking.
45 minutes to Holly River State Park for more waterfalls, swimming, and family-friendly trails.

Important Notes:

Winter access requires 4x4—snow is common from December through March at this altitude, so plan accordingly with proper vehicles and tires.
The cabin's remote location means no traditional utilities—embrace the off-grid experience for ultimate tranquility.

Whether you're chasing epic sunrises, stargazing in one of the darkest skies in the East, hiking remote trails, or simply unplugging in profound quiet, Star View Lodge delivers an authentic West Virginia high-elevation retreat. We're hands-on hosts—happy to share trail tips, fishing spots, or generator know-how.
