Nice weekend away

Great little cabin to getaway to for a weekend. The hot tub was a treat, and the stars were beautiful! We loved how well stocked the cabin was too. So many spices and tools to do all the cooking we wanted to! Very comfy bed as well.

Amazing Romantic Getaway

The cozy cabin had lots of wonderful charm. The outer room had a sauna and a fireplace. The windows were great with a perfect view of the snow. The porch had a very nice with a big hot tub. The bed room was nice with a reading area and the living room has a great TV. We were greeted with cookies and a bottle of the good stuff. I would recommend this cabin and we cannot wait to go back.

The cabin/house was wonderful…clean, well equipped, charming, steps from a lake, on an extremely quiet road away from everyone/everything. Saw deer, lots of birds, etc. The host, Paula, was terrific! We loved it!

Perfect

Our family wanted a weekend away before the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Holiday. This getaway was perfect. I was nervous our kids would be bored but they really enjoyed it and want to come back every year. We brought our dog with us which was a first for our family. She lived her very best life. We played cards, darts, made a fire in the fireplace, enjoyed the hot tub, watched the birds at the birdfeeder, went to the lake and local pizza joint and played outside with our dog. We never even turned the tv on while we were there. I can't recommend this place enough. Very peaceful!

Beautiful Fall Getaway!

Paula was a great property manager. Not only did she leave us cookies, but her home was Clean and equipped with every necessity you could need. I live in the city so the stars at night in WV we’re breathtaking around the cozy fire. The well taken care of property, beautiful scenery, comfortable beds, hot tub/sauna (very clean), and coziness made us feel right at home. Great stay Megan Mulvey

Amazing

My husband and I had a wonderful one-week vacation in the middle of nature in this quiet, peaceful, cozy, and wonderful home! We brought our two dogs; they loved the space as much as we did! We had faced a short power outage because of a storm a couple of minutes before we arrived for our staying, but Paula got in touch with us, and we did not have any issues. She is an amazing hoster, takes care of all details, is kind, and is a great cook! Her cookies are delicious! Also, she left a botter of wine for us! Wow! If you want a place to get away, disconnect from the world, and recharge your energy! This is the place!

We stayed here for 9 days while working. Here’s how it played out:

Your first welcome challenge is to resist a perfectly baked soft and chewy cookie 🍪 Paula has prepared for you. Then wake up in the morning, look out the window and you’ll have chickadees, juncos, goldfinches, titmouses, nuthatches, cardinals, woodpeckers… coming by the bird feeders set up strategically for your appreciation as you sip your coffee. After coffee, walk outside to check on the weather. A great green space lies outside for your dog to play ball. Walk down the driveway and across to Warden Lake with a walking path and back for morning strides to get your blood flowing. Some mornings you’ll witness bald eagle flying over the lake, or a red tailed hawk in the front yard. Back in the house, workdays begin in the sunroom as the morning sun helps you light up the room which also happens to have internet access. You can choose to sit anywhere in the sectional, table, or even a rocking chair by the fireplace if it’s cold enough. Maybe light up a candle or two Paula has left for you. Meanwhile your dog is snoring soundly next to you as they sleep in the nice Serta dog bed Paula has provided, one of two. After the workday is over, it’s time for a nice hot tub on the deck looking out the moonlight or infrared saunas followed by puzzles or games. Or even a movie or favorite show in the Roku tv. Downtown is 10 min away for quick errands or even a nice treat like a hot apple cider at the Lost River Trading Post, pies and even eggs at the Wardensville Garden Market. But not everything is perfect like Paula’s cookies because otherwise where the fun would be in that? So bring your own TP 🧻, paper towels, bird seed, and garbage bags. Internet was about 30 Mbps over wifi so you might hit a snag or two if you’re on a video call with screen sharing or 2 zoom calls at the same time. But works mostly okay. We can’t wait to come back.
