What a sweet couple and adorable area they are creating! There is a hotdog stand, with an outdoor patio, where you pick up your key. Then, you climb a gravel hill to your place. We had Cabin #1 which was decorated with cactuses. It was warm and cozy with lots of space inside. We got settled in nicely and ventured off to Tygart Lake State Park. Thank You for a nice welcome and a cute place to stay for the night.

Thornton Cabin #1
Just what we needed! Great cabin clean and secluded. Great price as well
See other cabin for full review, highly recommend!
Rented both cabins with another family and had a wonderful time. The hosts were incredibly communicative and helpful, cabins were just as advertised and the location was private. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a private getaway with more amenities than a tent but still at a reasonable price

Great hosts and the cabin had plenty of amenities. There is a queen bed and a fold-out couch.

Loved the cabin! It was private and spacious both inside and outside. It had a fridge, microwave, A/C, and table with chairs inside, as well as a bar table on the porch and another table by the firepit. Bathhouse with a shower down the hill, compost toilet right by the cabin. The hill to reach the cabin is extremely steep, but I was able to make it up in a Jeep without using 4wd. Host were friendly and welcoming.
Set deep in the woods with no Wi-Fi, basic electricity, and no distractions, this place offers a truly authentic outdoor experience. The cabin is simple but solid — built with charm and practicality. The compost toilet setup was clean and well-maintained. If you're looking to disconnect from the chaos and reconnect with nature, this primitive cabin stay is the perfect getaway.
One of our favorite features was our firepit and the privacy of where the cabin is located. We spent our mornings sipping coffee while listening to nature come to life. Total serenity.
The location was perfect — close enough to hiking trails, a lake, and a small town for groceries or dining, but far enough to feel completely private and peaceful.
The hosts were also incredible: responsive, welcoming.
We left feeling refreshed and already planning our next trip back. If you’re looking for a quiet, retreat Laurel Rock is the place to stay.

Thornton Cabin #1
Place looks a lot better in person. Cabins were clean and beautiful inside. They’re tucked up the mountain side with fire pits and charcoal bbq pits. Town is a short drive away for any of those forgotten camping supplies. Walmart, gas stations, auto parts stores, restaurants. Head the other directions and it nothing but back country roads. We stayed for 4 days memorial weekend with our 4 kids and had a blast exploring the beauty WV has to offer. I’d definitely book another trip in the future. Dave and Rachael are also super nice and accommodating. Hope to see them continue to grow their business more in the future!
I stayed here at davids land for three nights. Beautiful spot tucked away off of the main road rt 50. Close to stores and restaurants. Lots of civil war history in the area along with state parks located close. The cabins sit up on the hill they have electricity a/c, heat and an outhouse. There is a full bath house also just down the hill from the cabins. I had a great memorial day weekend stay.
