Wonderfully updated small cabin on the crest of Jack Mountain
My wife and I stayed at this wonderful cabin for 3 nights to celebrate our anniversary. I mentioned the anniversary in my initial message to the hosts and we were greeted with a festive assortment of anniversary-themed decorations. That was very thoughtful and personal, and set the tone for our stay. Our itinerary was to breakfast at the cabin each day, venture out for a long hike, enjoy dinner in Monterey then relax in the cabin. The cabin with its amenities (hot tub, fire pit, smart TV) and its location was perfect. Monterey is literally just down the hill, 5 minutes easy drive. Returning after dark was not a problem.We ate dinner at High's and the Highlander, both good meals with a focus on comfort food. We enjoyed coffee and a pastry at Claire's one morning. We visited Big Fish Cider for a flight one evening before dinner. These two establishments have helped Monterey step up its appeal relative to some other similar destinations in western Va. and WVa. We hiked in the Monongahela National Forest on 2 days and in the George Washington Jefferson National Forest one day. Of these, Seneca Creek Trail in WVa was the highlight. We also walked 1.25 miles from the cabin to the Sounding Knob Fire Tower for sunrise. It's well worth the early morning and 500-ft elevation gain to get there.We arrived after dark and had some initial difficulty finding the cabin, not realizing that it was immediately off Hwy 250. Reflective street numbers would be helpful. 5 star stay!
