Water Gap Retreat

Elkins, WV

With a comfortable cabin and the recent addition of five new riverside sleeping shelters, we can accommodate groups ranging from two to 25 people. Water Gap Retreat is a perfect spot for a family reunion, board meeting or small group retreat.

The 133-square-foot, custom-designed waterproof canvas shelters have a spacious four-alcove design that will comfortably accommodate one to three people. Each one has two sets of shelves, a writing table, single-bed air mattresses, and solar-powered lights.

The Cabin at Water Gap Retreat has three sleeping areas and comfortably accommodates up to eight people. The two downstairs bedrooms have full-size beds. The cabin's sleeping loft, accessible by a ladder, has a single bed and a full-size bed. The cabin has a fully-equipped kitchen, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, front porch, stone fireplace, television with a DVD player, small stereo, and air conditioning.
