About this property

Hungry Mother Island. A unique cabin retreat. In State Park, Back of the Dragon

Your own island! Yes, this unique three bedroom property 'Hungry Mother Island' offers the chance to stay surrounded by a babbling creek on your own little isle of mountain paradise. Located on Hungry Mother Creek at Hungry Mother State Park. It’s just off the Back of the Dragon Trail & bordered by Hungry Mother State Park along with George Washington & Jefferson National Forest. Nearby multiple wilderness areas, superb mountain stream fishing, small lake fishing, swimming area & beach, wildlife management areas & miles of trails offer tons of natural amenities and outdoor opportunities. This newly remodeled cabin offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a jacuzzi tub in the downstairs bath. Eat in kitchen with stainless appliances, wood slab bar top and butcher block counter tops. Or use interesting dining room table for the whole family to sit down for dinner, all while seeing the creek flow by out of every window. Unwind on the sectional sofa in front of the stone fireplace while streaming your favorite show on the 60" TV. Relax on the rooftop patio or entertain under the lights on the stone patio while grilling out on the large stone fire/charcoal grill. The whole place is yours other than a couple of closet spaces and small areas we use for storage.

Wonderful Island oasis
This lovely, well appointed cabin retreat is surrounded by a babbling creek on all sides, giving us our our island oasis. We thoroughly enjoyed the privacy and the fire pit outside. This cabin had everything we needed and more, far exceeding our expectations. We enjoyed preparing meals in the well appointed kitchen and gathering around the picnic table outdoors fireside. The owners of this VRBO were very responsive and answered all of our questions before arrival. I will definitely make plans to return and enjoy all of the surrounding activities!
