Great place to stay with nice owners. Came during an off-season and the owner was very accommodating. We stayed in room #1 the bed was comfortable, essential toiletries were provided, and everything was clean. Convenient spot for multiple hiking trails and parks.

Quiet, Charming B & B

If you like old style charm, you will love this place. The town is extremely quiet, so we arrived with a personal note on the note addressed to us, front door unlocked, and key in the door of our room. It was an early century 3 story house so clean and comfortable, we felt very cozy and safe. The proprietor has everything ready for you and has a phone number to call if any questions or issues. The table is set with a good continental breakfast, no charge, coffee and juices. This was set up each morning. We enjoyed our stay, very reasonable, and comfortable.

I was a bit hesitant when I arrived at the age of the house, it’s old. But the rooms are clean& the beds were very comfortable. We did tear the continental breakfast because it was all package muffins & high carb choices.

Our family had a two night stay. In the beginning we were surprised at how old and antique feeling the lodge had. But we had a very comfortable stay. My 12 yrs old said the hotel bed is the most comfortable one he ever had in a hotel. The help-yourself style breakfast has many thoughtful choices. People in this little town are very friendly and the scenery nearby is so beautiful and peaceful.

No one greeted us and the front door was locked. We had to call and then Tim greeted us and was very nice. The breakfast was terrible. The muffins were in a package dated two weeks prior. Two of the three mills in the frig were outdated. Most of the food in the frig was outdated. There were a few oranges on the breakfast table. We didn’t see any other guests even though Tim said the place was booked. The rooms were lovely as was the overall establishment decor. The internet wasn’t very good but we’re finding that typical in West Virginia this far.

Very clean, right beside river, quiet, and mattress was a 10/10 comfortable. Room even came with soaps, tooth brushes/paste, and lotions, everything you'd ever need for a nice trip. The only thing I would have added to room would be a small personal refrigerator for left over foods or deli meat to make sandwiches or food. Eating out constantly gets expensive.
