I’m easy to reach by Airbnb message anytime during your stay — most replies within 1 hour during daylight hours. The home is set up for self check-in via smart lock, so you can come and go without coordination.

Neighbourhood
Marlinton sits in Pocahontas County, the heart of West Virginia’s Allegheny Mountains — locals call this region “Nature’s Mountain Playground.” Honey Haus is in-town Marlinton, a 2-minute walk to Old Mountain Tavern for live music and locally-sourced meals. The Greenbrier River Trail — a 78-mile rail-to-trail corridor for hiking, biking, and fly fishing — runs 5 minutes from the front door. Snowshoe Mountain Resort is 28 miles north for skiing, mountain biking, and summer festivals. Cass Scenic Railroad State Park (11 mi), Watoga State Park (12 mi), Beartown State Park (25 mi), Falls of Hills Creek (35 mi), and Green Bank Observatory (15 mi) are all within easy day-trip range. Pocahontas County is a certified Dark Sky region — on clear nights the Milky Way is visible from the backyard. Cell service is patchy outside of town, but Wi-Fi at the house is strong (Frontier fiber). The neighborhood is quiet, residential, and walkable — leave the car parked and explore downtown on foot.
