We stayed at Bessie end of May and had a great trip. The area was very quiet and the home was perfect for our 4 adults. We were celebrating a birthday and the house had a nicely stocked kitchen for cooking breakfasts. We visited waterfalls and hiked around the area. For dinner we went to Billy’s Motel which had a surprising menu. We also drove about 40 minutes to Elkins to have a birthday celebration at The Folks Inn and Restaurant in Elkins. It was a great stay and the communication couldn’t have been better with our host.

Being on a lake was a big hit from morning coffee on the balcony to endless canvassing the lake on the paddle board and funyak and then a campfire, this was extended family vaca at its best.

Cabin was nice, kitchen nice there was a little dust, we could not find remote to tv by kitchen and we looked every where and we found it tucked in stairs by chair with ottman. We could not use grill as it was full of charcoal and not clean. But it was a nice stay and cabin was beautiful and peaceful. Would stay again.

Bessie is the best!

We had an excellent stay during Thanksgiving week. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Kitchen is super well equipped and made cooking thanksgiving dinner away from home a breeze. Dog friendly, too! Would love to visit again.

Great for a family with kids

This house was wonderful for our family gathering. It is fully equipped with everything, feels like home, and has such beautiful views on the lake. The bed was comfortable, and there were plenty of toys for our 18-month-old baby. We would definitely come back.

Beautiful View and Family Friendly

We really enjoyed our stay at Bessie! The host was super accommodating and allowed up to check in early after an early flight from Fl. We enjoyed the location which was near two ski resorts and plenty of hiking near Blackwater Falls. The view was gorgeous and the house had everything from toys for the kids to dog beds for the dogs. The host thought of everything!

Bessie is the BEST!

Quiet and serene. Short drive to multiple parks and trails. This property's backyard is a lake which we had fun doing some fishing and catching some fish! Nightly sunset and stargazing! A complete hit with our family.

West Virginia Wonderful

We thoroughly enjoyed our adventure in Davis, WV and the cabin was the perfect backdrop for it. The location was peaceful and the cabin had everything we needed. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, from dishes to pans to leftover containers and common spices. The railings on the deck allowed the dogs to enjoy hours outside and the gates at the stairs on the main level made it easy to keep them safe. The owner was a "10 out of 10" and I would absolutely recommend Bessie to anyone wanting to have their own WV adventure.

Fabulous family vacay at ‘Bessie’ in Davis

This was the perfect spot for my two grown children, their spouses and four grandchildren to join me for a few days in WV. ‘Bessie’ was extremely clean, spacious, well-appointed (complete with children’s toys and sporting equipment) AND comfortable. It is located in a beautiful area close to outdoor activities and conveniences. I really appreciated the host’s prompt responses to my questions. We all had a wonderful time and said we’d love to return. I highly recommend this beautiful property.
