Me and my girlfriend loved the feel of coziness and safeness of the place, yes given that it is small that doesn’t mean it is bad. It was perfect for our first ever stay at a location and it was close to home. We sincerely enjoyed the stay.

Five stars is not enough for this beautiful place. I booked on a whim I didn’t expect much but when we got there it was beautiful, we were then greeted by the two most friendly cats I ever seen along with all the other well maintained animals. The little black bear camper was the best sleep me and my husband had ever had in our lives, the phones were off but that was perfect because we didn’t want any distractions. My 13 year old daughter at first was your typical teen who loves the internet but she actually loved it after 45 minute and was asking when can we go back. The host was friendly and went over to make the stay out of this world.. book this now you can thank me later

Refreshing Taste of Country/Farm Life

Me and a friend stopped by on the way back from a friend's wedding. The host was excellent with communication, and responded astonishingly quickly when I contacted them with a question regarding check-in. The camper is in a secluded location with plenty of wildlife around (both farm animals and wild animals). We arrived at night, but when I woke up in the morning, I walked out the door to see a beautiful red fox scurrying through the meadow beside the camper. I walked a short way down the hill to the bath house to get ready, and I discovered that there were adorable farm animals everywhere (they were very friendly animals as well!). I could not recommend this quaint place more! There was no cell signal, which is a good thing (though there is Wifi at the bath house, if needed)! There is no noise, and you are just surrounded by the beauties of the West Virginia terrain. A brief note about the animals: It is spring time, so there were a few adorable baby animals. I took the liberty of picking up a baby goat and enjoyed holding him for a bit. There are also cats that will follow you around and enjoy your attention as you explore the beautiful (and well-kept) grounds!Thank you for a wonderful stay! We had a great time!

This was the most relaxing trip we have had in along time. The owners are so friendly and personable. We loved feeding the animals and even held baby goats. The peacocks are gorgeous and I loved waking up to there noises. I would recommend this property for anyone. You'll love it.

This was a fun stay. The camper was clean and comfortable. We ate meals with friends in Blacksburg so I can’t speak to the eating places nearby. The game room was small but had a variety of board games. The bathroom off the game room was clean, bring your own towel. The wi-fi in the game room worked like a charm, fast and reliable. The camper was cozy and had reliable electricity to charge things. The bed was quite comfortable, as well. This is a working property with farm animals in the barn and that was fun. They even have a couple of peacocks! Loved our stay here, brief as it was. Will stay again.
