Live Like A Local : Part 1
Make it stand out
Webster County relishes in its untamed beauty and pristine, natural setting, and along with that visitors often find a lack of hotel/motel accommodations that we've grown to expect. If you were to Google search for rooms in the Webster area you may find yourself at a loss, but fear not weary traveler! The area has an abundance of cabin-setting lodging with all the appearances and seclusion, but with all the niceties of home and then some!
1. Camp Driftwood Cabin
This 2-bedroom bungalow sits along the Holly River in the Hacker Valley Region – a stone's throw from the area's state park attractions. The rural setting surrounding the cabin is as primitive as it gets as the interior offers a full kitchen, TV, and satellite, blazing wood fireplace. Electric heating is also built into this domicile, in case you forgot to invite the family Boy Scout on the trip to build a proper tee-pee style fire.

2. Living Waters Cabins
Located within the Monongahela National Forest along the Williams River sits a cozy cabin built for four people that promise breathtaking views without ever having to leave the rocking chair of your screened in porch. A kitchen with all the amenities along with a stone, gas full fireplace, and stacked washer and dryer will give up to four guests all the comforts of home while hanging their hats in the area. The real piece de resistance is the hot tub, perfect for a little R&R under the stars, unspoiled by city lights!
