About Us

A Family-Run Hideaway
in the Kanawha Hills

The Overlook Rental sits on a quiet stretch of Cabwaylingo Park Road, where the hills roll into the dense Appalachian forest and the sky opens wide. We started this property with one simple idea: give visitors a place that feels like home, only higher up and surrounded by more trees.

Whether you're chasing waterfalls on the park trails, casting for trout in the nearby creek, or simply unwinding on a cedar deck with a book and a cold drink — our rentals are designed to slow you down and let the mountains do the rest.

Fully Equipped

Kitchen, Wi-Fi, heating & cooling in every unit.

Pet Friendly

Your four-legged friends are welcome on the trails too.

Guest Stories

What Our Guests Say

"We drove in from Pittsburgh for a long weekend and were blown away. The cabin was spotless, the deck views were unreal, and the kids wouldn't stop talking about the fire pit. Already planning our next visit."

Pittsburgh, PA

"The Overlook Studio was exactly what I needed — quiet, beautiful, and completely private. I spent two days reading on the deck with nothing but birdsong. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly."

SL

"Brought the whole extended family for a reunion and the Hollow Creek Lodge was perfect. Plenty of room, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the kids loved exploring the trails. Truly a hidden gem."
