Amazing mountain property

The house is beautiful. Our group takes a yearly mountain cabin trip, and we have stayed in a different property every year. We loved this souch we have decided to keep coming back and make this place our dedicated destination.

Sweet Retreat

Our group had 10 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was the peaceful retreat we all needed. The owners communication was quick and answered all my questions. If we go rafting again on the new river, we will be staying here again.

Fun in WV

Home was prefect. Host (Tama) was very accommodating and helpful with local tips, restaurants, hikes and more. We had a large group and there aren’t many homes that could facilitate our group.

Not as expected

The spacious great room and deck/hot tub were a hit with our teens. On the surface everything was tidy, floors and bathrooms clean. However I was expecting a smoke and pet free house. There was a strong odor of cigarettes so that we even opened windows and doors to air out. We also encountered dog hair in the linens and towels. Not sure it’s a good idea to have guests do the laundry. There wasn’t enough detergent for us to do the laundry properly after use as required. This VRBO has potential for a higher rating with a good spring cleaning, and enforcement of no smoking and no pets.
