We had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend this home! From the moment we arrived, we could tell how much care the hosts put into making it a welcoming place. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious, giving our family plenty of room to relax and spend time together.The location was perfect—we loved being so close to the park, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. In the evenings, we gathered around the fire pit, and during our stay we were able to prepare family breakfasts and dinners in the well-equipped kitchen and on the grill, which made it feel like a home away from home.The hosts were fantastic—friendly, responsive, and wonderful to work with throughout our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again the next time we're in West Virginia!

Loved it! The house was fully stocked with what we needed and spacious enough for our family. We enjoyed the fire pit (already set up) along with all the fixings provided. We enjoyed a day rafing on the New River and this home was the perfect spot to relax before and after.

It was a great place to come back to after having a long day of hiking or other events that we found ourselves doing. I did find my self calling the place home after each activity we got done with and saying it’s time to go home. A lovely place to stay at to make it feel like you never left home

Family gathering for a Wedding in the area

This was a very beautiful, spacious and clean place to stay. The kitchen had all the amenities that you you need. The beds were all comfortable. Their preparation was outstanding and it made things easy for us all coming from different parts of the USA. The area was quiet and had a large yard with a pond stocked with fish. If I ever go to Fayetteville again I will definitely stay at this place again

Bridge day guests

We had an amazing stay during our time in Fayetteville. The property was close to bridge day festivities. The kitchen had everything for our cooking needs, we played ping pong in the game room, roasted marshmallows in the out door fire pit and made use of the board games. The owner was very responsive. Would highly recommend!

Fun Family Time

We had a wonderful time staying minutes from the Gorge A great location, we went to the Bridge and hiked a trail with beautiful vistas. The house had everything we needed for 3 families. We used all 5 bedrooms, living room, sunroom, kitchen, dining room and game room. The children enjoyed running down the hill to the pond. Thank you for sharing your home.

Perfect for us

We had a great weekend. The weather forecast changed at the last minute in our favor and that made all activities more enjoyable! The home is lovely and accommodated our party of 10 perfectly. When not out, we enjoyed fishing, ping pong, corn hole, and s’mores at the house. Someone drove by and told my son there was a 40 lb catfish in the pond and so my son has vowed to return to catch that.

Everything we hoped for in a family & friends weekend retreat

Booking and check in were very smooth. Hosts responded very promptly to questions ahead of the trip. When we arrived we were so pleased that the place felt even more spacious than it looked in the pictures and it was immaculate. The hosts provided so many nice touches and really seemed to have tuned into how make everything very user friendly, from the grill to the fire pit and everything inside the home. Our group enjoyed our whitewater rafting weekend and the Pond House was a perfect location for food, fun, and some much needed rest after the day on the river. Would not hesitate to book this property again and would recommend highly to others visiting the region. Thank you for sharing your property and for helping us make so many terrific memories.

Wonderful Country Home away from Home

From booking to checkout, hosts were very quick to respond to any questions and very accommodating. We were in town for a local family reunion. This is a large home with peaceful setting. House was stocked with everything we needed. Beds were extremely comfortable. We had young children with us, ages 1,3, and 5. The kiddos enjoyed the game room. The hosts even went above and beyond and brought out a baby gate for the steps. The pond provided hrs of entertainment for my husband who loves to fish. This is a perfect vacation home. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Superb

This is a hidden gem. The location was very quiet and relaxing. The house was very clean and modern. There was a welcome sign for us with our names on it. That made us feel very welcomed. The house was stocked with lots of amenities, towels, air freshners, q-tips, hair dryer, suntan lotion, mosquito spray, paper, pens, markers, etc. There were lots of games, books, and TVs. They provided wifi (worked well), fishing supplies, umbrella, cornhole, ping pong table, tabletop foosball, relaxation rooms with 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths. They provided a fire pit with goodies to make smores. The grill was ready and waiting for use. We really enjoyed ourselves. This is a wonderful property. The host provided great communication from start to finish.
