5. Don't go on neighbor's land. We do not have a fence due to trees but please keep within property lines, which are marked by boundary markers with pink tags.

Other things to note
1. Stay connected, even off the grid: cell phone service can be spotty in the area, but don’t worry. We recommend enabling WiFi calling on your phone, and downloading offline Google maps for seamless navigation.
2. Hot Tub & Fire Pit Safety: Follow safety instructions for an enjoyable experience. Guests assume all risks and release the host and owner from liability for hot tub and fire pit use.
3. We do not provide fire wood for the fire pit but you can buy them at nearby Lowe's.
4. Sorry, no pets.
5. During snow season: roads may be slippery and icicles may form near the roof edge. Be cautious of your surroundings! We recommend a 4WD vehicle during snow season.
6. We do not offer refunds for weather-related changes.
7. Your privacy is our priority—security cameras are installed on the front porch, outdoor deck and exteriors for safety, but there are no cameras inside the house. We have privacy-safe noise decibel monitors which alerts us to excessive noise.

Fantastic family vacation

Yvonne was a pleasure to deal with. Immediate responses and a detailed document describing how to use everything on the property. House was decorated beautifully and incredibly clean. Hot tub was great. Shower and hot tub towels provided. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious rooms. About 10 mins from town. Quiet property. Loved it! Would definitely go back.

Beautiful country home

The whole home looked newly updated, from new floors to new paint. Kitchen was very nice and everyone said they liked their beds. I really liked the fire pit out by the willow tree, and my daughter definitely enjoyed the hot tub porch. I love the area and I never meet a stranger when I’m in West Virginia.

Excellent location for Ace Adventure (10 min)

This home is quiet, very clean and newly updated. It has a large yard with another home on one side and I believe a small creek (tall grass next to creek) on the other. There is a hot tub on the creek side. We spent most of our time adventuring. We went white water rafting, zip-lining, UTV with New River ATV, water park at Ace and rode rail cars with Rail Explorers in Clay, WV. The host provided recommendations for eating out. I would add Mandabee’s in Oak Hill ( about 10 min). The food and service was excellent. We tried Secret Sandwich Society and the Cathedral Cafe which were good. Our UTV guide Jacob also recommended Tequila Tacos in Fayetteville (10 min and inexpensive) and the Long Point hike (3 mile round trip) for a great view of the bridge. The host was very responsive and great to work with. Lots of towels, washing machine and dryer, plenty of room to spread out for our family, so no complaints. Teens highly recommend New River ATV and Rail Explorers (cars move faster than they thought since they have a motor). Really they said they loved all of it.. except the hike which was hot.. but it is July and it had a beautiful view from the parent’s perspective. Come out and enjoy the outdoors in WV.
