About Cucumber

Cucumber is a tiny rural community tucked along a mountain hollow in McDowell County, West Virginia. Home to fewer than a hundred people, it originally grew as a small coal camp during the height of the Pocahontas coalfields. Today, life here is exceptionally quiet and secluded, surrounded by steep wooded hills and classic Appalachian landscape. It offers a peaceful, remote setting for anyone looking to step far away from busier towns and everyday city noise.
