The host, Karin, was just the right amount of communicative. The cabin was beautiful. It had plenty of supplies and room to hang out. We enjoyed our stay and would go back!

Thank you for such kind words, Emily! We really enjoyed hosting your group, and glad to hear the house was a great fit for you all. We'd thrilled to have you back anytime!
The home was extremely clean and so very welcoming. We loved how secluded it was and really enjoyed the hot tub on the cold mountain night. We will be back for sure.
The property was amazing and the four of us over 60 loved it. The host was quick to respond and very helpful. This is a place we will want to return to if we return to the area. We visited Laurel Caverns and hiked at Coopers Rock which were both amazing. I highly recommend this house. Be sure to follow the Google map.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Janet! We're thrilled to hear that you and your group enjoyed the area and had a memorable time exploring beautiful West Virginia—those two spots are some of our favorite local gems as well. We truly appreciated how respectful and communicative you were throughout your stay. We'd love to welcome you back anytime you're in the area again!
The host was welcoming, friendly, and lovely. She answered all of my questions and was quick to reply from when I booked to trip to when we left. The house is stunningly beautiful with breathtaking windows that show off the woods. – every item (the coasters, the tea bags, seasonings, the adorable makeup towels) was perfectly placed and every utensil/bowl/cup/pan, etc. was there if you needed it. Hot tub is in mint condition and was a great spot to relax after a long hike. This is a wonderful area to decompress away from a city. The hiking trails are conveniently close. Gorgeous location. 10/10 recommend and would absolutely come back to this spot.
The home was wonderful. Our code that was supposed to be personalized didn’t work to check in. For a family visiting it was hard not having a single dining room table in the entire house so our family couldn’t sit together for any meals. The top sliding door also didn’t lock so the home was not secure, the landlord was very prompt in responding but also said she couldn’t fix it until after we checked out so there were very real security concerns especially when staying with children. Overall beautiful home with some quirks.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for choosing to stay with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the home’s beauty and peaceful, secluded setting.
For future guests reading this, I’d like to offer a bit of clarity around the upstairs sliding door: it was professionally inspected by Anderson Door the next business day after Chelsea’s stay. The technician confirmed the lock is fully functional—it simply requires a firm turn farther to the right to engage. No repairs were needed, and they provided video confirmation for peace of mind. We’ve since made a small adjustment to make it even easier to use, and rest assured there are no security concerns at the home. We’re always available during check-in to ensure a smooth arrival, and we were glad the access codes provided prior to arrival allowed for easy entry. As for the dining setup, we sincerely appreciate the feedback. The home offers multiple gathering spaces, and we’re always exploring ways to better accommodate larger families who prefer a single dining table. Thanks again for staying with us, Chelsea. We’re always working to improve and hope to welcome you back in the future!
The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and had a wonderful time. Karin was very responsive and replied quickly whenever we needed anything. I also forgot my AirPods, and after I contacted Karin, she kindly found them and is sending them back to us. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We would love to stay at this property again!

About the host
Hosted by Karin Ventresca
Karin & Andrew Ventresca here. We are both Navy vets with 3 small children, residing in Maryland. We love to travel, and enjoy the option of having our family together under one roof, with that home away from home feeling, as we explore new areas.
Why they chose this property
The first time we visited the Whitewater Preserve community, we knew it was something special. The peacefulness of the area, away from the hustle and bustle, was just what our family needed. We had space to explore, and land to enjoy -- exactly what we needed to recharge our batteries and connect as a family.
What makes this property unique
Riverside Haven is a place of peace. We enjoy being able to share this slice of paradise with others. A major perk is while at the house, you get that "in the woods" remote feeling, yet you're close enough to just about anything you could need in the Morgantown area -- just a quick 20-30 minutes away. It's the best of both worlds. Also, being right along the Big Sandy, there is SO much to do for those looking to explore. West Virginia does NOT disappoint!
