Monterville balances quiet mountain living with easy access to big outdoor adventures. Tucked within rugged highlands of Randolph County, the community sits near vast public lands, where the peaks and hollows of the Monongahela National Forest frame four seasons of fun. Minutes away, the trails, overlooks, and rustic cabins of Kumbrabow State Forest invite hikers, anglers, and stargazers to linger. Crisp summer evenings, trout-filled streams, and hardwood forests paint a day-to-day rhythm that rewards anyone who craves space and sky.
When it’s time for groceries, live music, or a gallery night, residents head to Elkins, a regional hub with festivals, coffeehouses, and services. Winter weekends often mean carving turns at nearby Snowshoe, while scenic drives into Pocahontas County deliver overlooks, rail history, and leaf-peeping that ranks with the state’s best.
Families value the strong sense of community and the grounded, practical approach of Randolph County Schools. Depending on zoning, students are served by small, close-knit schools with hands-on programs and ample room to roam. For continuing education, healthcare careers, and cultural programming, Davis & Elkins College’s campus resources in Elkins provide an added boost through Davis & Elkins College.
Housing options range from timber-frame cabins tucked in the trees to acreage parcels for a future homestead.
