West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort!
The idea for creating a cabin rental/camping vacation getaway in the Allegheny Mountain Range came to life over several meetings at a Bob Evans restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, between co-owners Paul Liimatta and Joe Boffo. Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge. Come and judge for yourself ;)

Forked Run State Park

State park 45mi from Cross Lanes · 23 sites
Forked Run State park features hickory and maple trees lining lake shores, making this a classic Appalachian beauty. Walk along one of the hiking trails where you can keep an eye out for white-tailed deer and gray foxes tucked away behind the blue phox and bloodroot wildflowers. Catfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, and crappie are plentiful for the taking if you plan on bringing your fishing pole, and a ten horsepower limit on boating guarantees to keep the waters calm. If you're interested in catching some deer or turkey for a pre-emptive Thanksgiving feast, be sure to bring your hunting license with you. A small sandy beach and athletic courts provide that perfect balance of recreation and relaxation.

Highly recommend! This cabin is perfect. Not only is it beautiful, but it is clean and fully stocked with anything you might need. The wood burning stove keeps it incredibly warm and cozy in the winter. The property surrounding the cabin is beyond beautiful! There are hiking trails and a stream that can be heard from the cabin's porch. The site is very private and quiet. I also can't say enough good things about the host Craig! Incredibly nice, quick to respond, and willing to whatever to make your trip perfect. I can't wait to go back!!!

Weekend Trip to Walnut Falls Escape
Fantastic! Despite some of the drawbacks others have noted, my now fiance and I had a great time! I booked this cabin because of the incredible privacy, and mainly to propose in Hocking Hills! (She said yes 😎)
Craig was a very nice host and made sure the cabin was well stocked. Despite no running water it had everything you could think to need, and overall you can tell the cabin was built with safety/comfort in mind.
We will definitely be staying here again! Thanks Craig!

We stayed at Papa's place cabin. It was simple but clean and the campground office space was nice to watch a show or make some food. We only stayed one night but it worked well for us! The cabin had one outlet for a light and a fan and a heater which was nice heating it up a little in October. 🙂

What a sweet little spot! The mattress was super comfy! We stayed in Papa’s and loved that there was a small fan as we love sleeping with white noise. Shower got hot and was just fine for fall traveling - I’m not sure how cold winters get, but weather was ideal so the open air bathroom was no issue. The community center was cute and convenient for us to fill water bottles for our trip! Super sweet lady that greeted us too! Would’ve absolutely stayed longer if we weren’t just passing through!

If you’re wondering whether you should book or not, just do it! Ray’s was everything I needed and more for my three-night trip visiting NRG. I stayed in the Kentucky cabin which had 2 bunk beds, larger bed (full or queen?), nightstand w/ light, extension cord, standup heater fan, ceiling light/fan and trash can. There was a porch with a picnic table and two additional wooden chairs. There is also a fire pit.
In the common room (quick walk from the cabin) there’s a living room with TV, sofa, board games and more. There's a kitchen with a fridge/freezer, stove, oven, sink. There’s a large covered area off this common room that has a grill, tables and chairs. Next to this area is a small open shed that has ice $2 and firewood $6 or $7 if I recall.
On the opposite side of the campground (still a quick walk from the cabins) theirs is a large outdoor utility sink and cabinet, and a washer/dryer that is $2/ea under an awning. I didn’t use them so I’m not sure how you pay. There’s a separate men’s & women’s restroom/shower. I believe there were 3 showers and 3 toilets in the women’s room. The showers had hot water and the utility sink was super convenient for washing dishes.
I have AT&T and had 2 bars everywhere I went around the campground. After each day of hiking from AM to PM, the Kentucky cabin was an absolute oasis. Especially after ending a long roadtrip of camping in the rain!

Craig’s Cabin was awesome, it is a bit of a hike in but to be only 5 minutes from a shore and 12 minutes from town while being surrounded completely by nature with no neighbors to mind is wonderful. If you want nature with peace and quite Craig has done an amazing job! The cabin is comfortable and cozy with plenty of room, everything you need and nothing you don’t.
Last but not least… Holy crap Craig is amazing! Friendly, responsive, helpful, and a very down to earth host that makes you feel welcome!

Ray’s Campground provides great access to the National Park, and we loved the cabin that we stayed in- rustic, with a cute covered outdoor space, at a good price. The campsite itself was lovely, lots of shade, trees, and the staff were very helpful. We recommend a stay here.

Good layout, quiet, super close to Fayetteville and the sights of NRG! Shared spaces were clean and well lit. Cabin was small but comfortable. It was pretty humid but the ceiling fan helped! Would stay there again!

Ray’s Campground has been by far the best camping experience I’ve ever had. The whole place was super clean, quiet, peaceful, and pet friendly exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone I met was so friendly and made the atmosphere feel really welcoming.
The location couldn’t be better. It’s close to everything but still tucked away in a cozy, tucked-back spot that feels like a true escape. Whether you’re into exploring or just want to kick back and enjoy the outdoors, this place has you covered. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better spot. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great camping trip.

Ray's was great to me. I booked last minute and they accommodated my nighttime arrival. Staff was kind. I stayed in papa's place and my sheets just fit but not sure if they were queen or full, size up just in case! Didn't use bunk beds but love the option if I come back with friends or family. No fridge or microwave in room but great cabin and grounds.

We had such a great stay at this peaceful off-grid cabin in the woods. It was quiet, relaxing, and the perfect place to unplug. Our dog loved roaming around and exploring—definitely pet-friendly! Craig was a fantastic host and made sure we had all the info we needed before arrival. Just a heads-up: bring bug spray! We’re already planning our next trip back.
