This is a small cabin in a quiet area of West Virginia with a beautiful river. The back deck overlooks the river. There is a nice area for a fire and the sound of the river is delightful.

I was amazed by the beauty of the area and the cabin! The inside of the cabin was very clean and welcoming! The over all area is secluded enough away that you definitely need transportation to and from anywhere. Overall it was a great stay with my kids. We brought the ATVs for them to ride and they enjoyed the entire weekend without cellphones!!!

Cute Little Cottage

Had a great vacation visiting with old friends. The place is nice but could use a new back door. The gap at the top let in several bugs. There are other places nearby, but they’re far enough away for a degree of privacy. No reason we wouldn't return.

Wonderful getaway!

This was such a great stay! It was just me and my teenage daughter, who is used to busy city life. So to be basically in the middle of nowhere amd be surrounded by just nature was amazing. The house was so cozy and made us feel so welcome and inviting. Thank you Cheryl for letting us stay. I will be telling everyone about your place!!

Run down

We didn't stay. Directions sent us up a mountain for an hour and a half. The property wasn't even up there. I Did finally find the property. Property was in such disarray. Pictures did not match the property. The pictures show a some what nice house. Maybe at one time when the pictures were first taken. I have to show my misses where we are going first before I book a trip. When we pulled up to the house she looked at me and said I'm not staying here. This isn't what I saw in the pictures. This place is nasty. As much as I wanted to stay myself because I needed a couple days off the grid. I had to agree with her. We didn't even go in. We figured if the outside is this bad why bother. Now I drove over 6 hours to get there. It has to be pretty bad for me to turn around and leave. Then drive almost 3 hours more to find a hotel let alone one that will except dogs. I am requesting a full refund.
