Perfect getaway with great space in the woods…..cabins are a bit older but in good condition, great communication with host and would definitely come back!
Really enjoyed staying here for a few nights. Everything was clean and tidy. Location is cozy and perfect for a relaxing time in Summersville. Highly recommend!
Perfect for a friend getaway and very close to the lake. Fire pit and grill came in handy. Seclusion is a plus.

Great place and location!
Do yourself a favor and stay here! It was close to entertainment but still far enough away from everything. The owner was great and very responsive. I look forward to staying here again!

Over all our stay was very nice. The cabin/chalet was quite homey. The only issue we had was the WiFi. Every night around 8:00, like clockwork, it went missing. Sometime around 5:00 AM or so, the following morning, it would reappear! LOL I would recommend staying to those interested, most definitely.

Great location with all the essentials
You can't beat the location! This place is 1 mile from the Upper Gauley put-in, 30 minutes from Fayetteville and 15 minutes from Gauley Fest. We stayed here for 2 nights and it was clean, had all the essentials like towels, linens, kitchen utensils and a hot tub. Love that it's pet friendly. We will be back for Gauley Fest next year, for sure!

Thanks for the great review Melissa! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and look forward to seeing you next Gauley season.
Convenient location, Quaint, but shower could use some TLC.
Very convenient location to the lake and surrounding trails. The lodging was just what we needed; a place to sleep and make breakfast. The bathroom, and particularly the shower, however, left a lot to be desired. You can see plumbers tape wrapping around the faucet, the switch between bathtub and shower was stuck, so the water pressure was poor, the hot water ran out within about 3 minutes, and there was clearly mold/mildew surrounding the edges. For the cost, I would search alternatives in the future if some of these issues were not addressed.
The property was clean and well maintained. Very much enjoyed the hot tub. Heating worked very well. The setting was pleasant and despite other cabins nearby it felt fairly secluded. We will certainly be willing to stay there again.
I came to this property, but a different chalet last year. Both trips were amazing! I kind of wish the celing fan worked in this cabin, but LOVED the jacuzzi bathtub! My husband has already asked when we are going back

Was a very nice stay in clean updated rooms. New carpet and mattress. Now on to updating linens. Old and dingy. Friendly check in/out.
We will DEFINATELY be back to these Chalets. They were clean, cozy, had everything stocked, Host immediately texted me back, and even let us have a late check in due to time change!! We are at the point we want to rent one of these monthly now! WE WILL BE BACK!! BOOK HERE!!
Stay was amazing as always. Comfortable, clean, and just overall outstanding. It was our third stay and we will definitely be back again. We were here for our Honey Moon, and our one year anniversary so we came to a conclusion its gonna be our yearly wedding anniversary tradition. We absolutely love it. Will always recommend.
It was ok the cabin was clean but the AC was not very good

if the mattresses were replaced and the hot water improved[two of us could not take a warm shower within hours of each other.] this A frame cabin would be a great place to stay again. However, with back problems already this would not be a place my husband and I would want to try to sleep again.Perhaps a younger couple without these issues would rate it A . We inadvertently locked ourselves out and the owner could not have been nicer or more responsive.Also I have never stayed in a cabin that was as clean or smelled as fresh.There were plenty of towels and linens and they smelled great too. Cudos to their housekeeping service..
