We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed for cooking. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable! We really enjoyed sitting on the front deck watching the deer and turkey's in the evening. The hosts were great! Very responsive, helpful, and very nice! It was great to have a fenced in backyard for the dog.

Absolutely wonderful property and host. Enjoyed watching deer frolick in the fields, hummingbirds fly about, and turkeys wornder theough each day. Dogs loved the backyard. Convenient to town and New River Gorge, yet far enough to feel like you are in your own little slice of heaven. Look forward to staying again.

This is a large house and property for the two of us and our black Lab. The beds and furniture are clean and comfortable. The entire place was spotless and uncluttered. Our hosts live nearby and were able to help when anything came up. It is a beautiful area to explore near the New River Gorge National Park. We enjoyed it!

Very peaceful property about 20 minutes from the Bridge. We loved the catch and release fishing pond and Mile was gracious enough to give our boys minnows to use. We hiked the trails on the property to the mountain overlook and watched the deer next to our porch every night. The home was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Wonderful stay!

Lovely setting away from everything, but close enough that we could easily visit the New River Gorge and other local places. Really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the wild turkeys and deer, fishing in the pond, and hiking up into the woods. We enjoyed our stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Backwoods Retreat. The house was perfect and comfortable and dog friendly. We loved the peacefulness and solitude of the property grounds. Being able to view the wildlife from the front porch while drinking a cup of coffee was a wonderful bonus. Mike and Deanna are wonderful hosts and have done a fantastic job in making their guests feel welcome. We are looking forward to returning in the future.
