Welcome to RiverLaurelRiverLaurel is a vacation property owned by Roger and Janey Wilmoth of Cincinnati, Ohio. RiverLaurel is located near Elkins, WV on the shore of the sometimes wild and always scenic Shaver’s Fork of Cheat River on 1000 feet of riverfront that is absolutely private and serene, accessible only by a private lane. In the summer, RiverLaurel offers unexcelled opportunities for mountain-related recreation, including fishing on the Shaver’s Fork or in the remote streams of the nearby Monongahela National Forest (which is two minutes away), fairly-mild whitewater tubing on the Shaver’s Fork, hiking the many mountain trails in the Monongahela National Forest, sightseeing in the nearby natural attractions of Blackwater Falls, Spruce Knob, Canaan Valley State Park (superb golfing), Bickle’s Knob, Smoke Hole Caverns, and Seneca Caverns (all of which are in a 50-mile radius of RiverLaurel). Or simply enjoy nature and watch wildlife either at RiverLaurel or anywhere in the Monongahela National Forest. Similarly, enjoy the scenery from the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railway, which offers scenic rides out of Elkins (seven miles away) or the nearby Cass Scenic Railroad. Visits to nearby historic Elkins and to it’s Davis and Elkins College are always enjoyable. In winter, in addition to hunting, RiverLaurel offers nearby skiing and snowboarding opportunities at Canaan Valley (30-minutes away) and Snowshoe (50-min away). Or simply enjoy the peacefulness of mountain snows at RiverLaurel. RiverLaurel was built by Carl and Dorothy Wilmoth in the 1950’s and has progressively been remodeled and enlarged; most recently in 2001 by Roger, a surviving son , and his wife Janey. RiverLaurel offers four bedrooms, one and ½ baths, full kitchen facilities, laundry, a great room with gas fireplace and skylights, a dining area, a glass-enclosed family area with cable TV, DirectTV, surround sound, DVD, and DSL wireless internet access. The spacious deck overlooks the river and offers a comfortable hot tub and gas grill. The facility is also handicap accessible with a wide deck ramp and wide doorways. RiverLaurel is a NON-SMOKING facility. For rental, contact Janey Wilmoth by email, phone 513-248-0711, cell phone 513-300-3135, or fax 513-248-0711.
