\"Southern<\/p>\n

We don’t know about you, but a few peaceful days on a private island sound pretty darn good right about now.<\/p>\n

While most people equate private islands with far-flung destinations and exorbitant price tags, we’ve got our eyes on Coney Island. No, not that one<\/em>. This little slice of heaven isn’t in Brooklyn, but in humble Hinton, West Virginia. And thanks to the passage of a recent bill, it also happens to be located in the country’s newest national park.<\/p>\n

Sitting on the southern end of New River Gorge National Park, at the confluence of the New, Greenbrier, and Bluestone rivers, this private island features a charming cabin that’s available for a mere $332 a night.<\/p>\n

The Cabin on Coney Island is managed by the nearby Guest House Inn, and is currently New River Gorge National Park’s only private-island rental. Accessible only by watercraft, it can accommodate up to 10 people, with three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms, and seven acres of sandy beaches and forested trails in close proximity to countless opportunities for outdoor adventure.<\/p>\n

“When you rent the cabin, you’re getting exclusive access to the island, which has paths that are well-manicured, but still feels like you’re out in the wild,” Holli Lathroum, the property’s marketing manager, told Travel + Leisure<\/em>. “The cabin lets out right onto a sandy beach and has a fire pit. It’s really an amazing place.”<\/p>\n

The cabin is available from mid-May through September. To get there, you’ll have to either use a local ferry service, or paddle a boat. Reservations can be made through Airbnb or at GuestHouseWV.com.<\/p>\n

Fair warning: you might never want to leave.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great place to relax and just listen to the rivers,” Lathroum added. “And the night skies here are so dark, you can even see the Milky Way.”<\/p>\n
