Wonderful Property

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this charming property. Great views of nature and nearby mountains. My niece and nephew had a great time exploring the property. We had all the amenities we needed for the weekend. My nephew LOVED the pool table.

Lovely, peaceful spot!

Your home was the perfect spot for our girls’ weekend! The house has lots of character and the renovated bathrooms are very nice. Beds were quite comfortable (we couldn’t find linens for the futon but we made do). This was the perfect place for old friends to catch up!

Amazing Retreat!

We had such an amazing experience from start to finish.the property is beautiful, there are lovely creeks nearby, the neighbors were friendly and we were able to have beautiful bonfires at night. We couldn’t recommend the hosts any more. They were easy to communicate with and had the place fully stocked with everything we could need! We all highly recommend and hope to be back.

Stream walking

Our 3-pod family had a great quick getaway and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - from the quaint farm decor to modern amenities like a pool table, flat screen TV and updated bathrooms. The fire pit was a bonus and the landscape gorgeous. We used their map and found our way to the stream and we got to do a stream walk. We hope to return again soon!

Wedding Weekend

We rented the house this weekend since it was near our daughter’s wedding venue and it was everything Janet and Tony said it would be!! Highly recommend! It was beautifully decorated and in a quiet and peaceful location. Kitchens and bathrooms were stocked and the boys enjoyed using the pool table. We ended our stay with coffee on the front porch for a few hours. We even left something that they made arrangements for us to get back. Would definitely stay again!!

Two wonderful weeks

My husband and I and our two adult children and their partners spent 2 wonderful weeks in August at the Gordon Homestead. The house was extremely comfortable and more than well-supplied with everything we needed. Super comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms. The central AC was a lifesaver during the heatwave. We made forays to the many, interesting historical sites nearby, went swimming in the lake at Cowans Gap, read Agatha Christie aloud at the fire pit under the stars. We can't wait to return!

Everyone loved the house and the area

Coming from DC and not planning to ski we were worried the kids would not have any fun activities. We were wrong. We went to Berkeley Springs just 20-30 min away and had lots of fun even during a pandemic. Playing pool at the house, making a fire and playing outside we’re just additional benefits 😃

Beautiful Night Sky

The home was truly lovely. The night sky was beautiful, and the home itself was nice. The location is secluded so we didn’t have to worry about the music being too loud. The only downside was the location of the last two rooms as they’re connected through another room. However thankfully we were all able to have fun and enjoy the game room! Everything was truly wonderful and beautiful.

Awesome Getaway

Over accommodating!! From the owners to the home. This place is set up to relax and enjoy. Our sons loved fishing the creek. Our daughters loved walking the trails. The whole family enjoyed the pool table and fire pit. Kitchen was stacked with additional supplies and cookware to prepare for a large family. Overall we loved our stay and if we could give extra stars we would.

What a wonderful place for family bonding!

I want to thank the owners who made the process so smoothly. My family and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the homestead. There was no cell service which kind of forced us all to bond and interact more than ever. Only thing I would recommend to Janet and Tony is to update the door knobs/locks for each door as well as put up curtains or shades on the porch door, back door and side door so that the dark nights dont spook anyone. Thank you both for welcoming us into such a cozy and lovely home!

Tamara-- Thank you so much for the 5 star review on the property and the process. Thanks for the feedback. The door knobs/locks are period and original and over 100 years old something we should absolutely check to make sure all are working after each guest. Sorry for not having blinds up on the back door and causing anyone anxiety. Thanks for pointing that out.

Relaxing stay with family

Very nice property, old, rustic with modern conveniences. Very rural and peaceful setting, glad we brought our own food!. Cabin had everything we needed for family meals. Great central point for us, as families from NC and NY were able to meet up. Children enjoyed the pool table and walking the property, we even tried fishing in the river that flows on the property boundary. Owners respond instantly to question/concerns. Loved listening the birds, lots of wild turkeys, and the moon rising over Dickie Mountain was a wonderful sight. Would recommend if looking for the rural, tranquil setting, but yet 15 mins from towns to stock up on the basics.

90th birthday

We came here to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. This house reminded us of the farmhouse that she grew up in. Janet and Tony are wonderful hosts! The only reason that I did not give 5 stars across the board is because when we arrived we were unable to gain access into the property because of an issue with the door/lock. That being said, Tony and the caretaker got the issue resolved in the time that it took us to go to dinner, and were extremely happy with the rest of our stay! Got to see some wildlife during our trips as well. Would definitely recommend. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review. Again, we sincerely apologize for the door lock failing upon your arrival. We do hope the dinner for your family at the local staple, on us, helped alleviate the frustration while we worked on the door mechanism. We have replaced and upgraded the lock so this will not happen in the future. We are glad to hear the trip, itself, was successful for you and your family to celebrate a milestone birthday.

Peaceful & Restorative

Our weekend stay was more than we had hoped for! With 7 adults on retreat, this homestead was the perfect place to sit in silence, eat breakfast on the front porch, walk down to the stream, pray the rosary, stream videos over WiFi of our spiritual exercises, and share meals and conversation in a comfortable setting. Thankful for the modern conveniences — a/c so necessary with these record-breaking weekend temperatures. Maybe next time we’ll get to use the fire pit! Hosts were always quick to respond to emails. Everything in the process was great. One friend was happy I sent her the driving directions before she left home because she lost signal en route through the mountains. The place is well-cared for and beautifully & comfortably decorated. The flowers on the grounds are lovely! Mary
