Amazing host and extremely well stocked - kitchen had every appliance imaginable, and so many thoughtful touches throughout. Loved the binder full of local tourism knowledge and instruction manuals. Whoever cleans the house did a great job. However, the house was in pretty bad shape, literally. Not disrepair, but because it’s so old, everything is a bit jenky. All the floors are uneven with quite a few tripping hazards. You need to duck in several places. The neighborhood was probably safe, but a lot of homes have fallen into disrepair.

We enjoyed our time at this vrbo. They have clearly put in a lot of effort to make a dated home feel modern. We appreciated all of the plugs, remote ceiling fans, bedroom lighting, etc. the kitchen may have been one of the best stocked that we stayed at with every kitchen gadget from a countertop ice maker (very helpful!) to a waffle maker. The house is on the historic side, so some of the settling has made things uneven, including the stairs- so just be mindful of that. This property was halfway between two WV locations we needed to be, so it was ideal in that regard. The neighborhood itself was a little dicey. Outside of some street evangelizers, we didnt have any issues. The door keypad is very user friendly (some are tough to figure out) and the prop mgr was very responsive and helpful.
