Test drive before booking with the kids
The property was fine although a little sterile feeling. Not cozy but I get it; easy to clean and turnover for guests. Dishwasher stunk badly like another reviewer mentioned. The biggest turnoff and sole reason for never returning is the surveillance cameras. I understand why an owner would want them but they were not disclosed anywhere. Not disclosing the visible cameras made me wonder if there were more that I could not see. Very disappointed and nearly caused me to abandon the rental. We felt uncomfortable and watched the entire stay. I would not bring my kids to a such a place that could be monitoring their every move and listening to every word spoken. If you want a secluded river location and don't mind big brother, this place is perfect.

Amazing river front cabin
We could not have enjoyed our stay more. Host was flexible and accommodating, cabin was clean and well stocked. Great remote location that is easily accessible to so much of what this area of WVa has to offer. We hope to come back and enjoy the cabin in the summer. Great find!

I am a north central West Virginia native who has lived in Elkins most of my life. I have skied, hunted, fished, hiked, explored, and most of all played in these mountains since I was a small child. I'm here to help you with tips, suggestions, and anything else you need to ensure your visit is memorable. I designed this house myself and with the help of a few good friends we built it together.
