Neighborhoods
Marlinton is making its comeback, slowly but surely! Don’t let the empty buildings fool you, most locals/entrepreneurs have big plans for our little community.
All the while, there is quick & easy access to not only The Greenbrier River, but, The 77-mile Greenbrier River Trail. Not to mention, the Mon Forest project to take off soon! Easy access to local shops & restaurants within walking distance from all of our properties in Marlinton!
Come see what it’s all about, it won’t disappoint you!

Sightseeing
Riding The Cass Train has been one of my all time favorite things to do, not only as a child, but as an adult! There is nothing quite like it, & the views are amazing!
Cass is also a very historical landmark in Pocahontas County, it looks the same as it did 100 years ago. The original Company Store is still open today & has the neatest old timey toys, souvenirs, candy, & more. There is also a restaurant located in the store. You can schedule train rides & historical tours of the little town located right in Pocahontas County. You can also bike The Greenbrier River Trail all the way from Marlinton to Cass!
