We enjoyed our stay in WV. We enjoyed being able to bring our dog on vacation. The house was great and the outside area was nice with the fire pit. It is definitely secluded with the driveway being 2 miles. The nearest town is about 30 mins. Make sure you take the recommended directions on the way to the house as recommended by the host.

Location was ideal for a quiet weekend away from life. House was very clean however being in the woods expect some pests. Most amenities available minus on-site laundry. Suggest if you prefer a solid stiff bed.Overall minus some minor pests and stiff beds experience was great.

Wonderful stay! FYI- Maps app doesn't bring up the address. However please take note and print out the details that they give you prior to getting there. Service is spotty in the area. This house is on gravel road and it's secluded. We had a great stay and will definitely rent again if we are back in the area. We enjoyed the corn hole boards and horse shoes for the afternoon wind down. We stayed for 3 days and was able to see all the New River gorge areas in these 3 days. No hiking just taking in all the overlook areas and visitor centers.

No water

The property was great and in a nice location but the first morning there was no water. Once reported there was a lack of response. Was told a maintenance man was coming to repair but would be bringing paper dining products and water. There was no identification of the name of the person coming to rural isolated location. That night maintenance showed up at 9:20pm and could not identify the hosts name. No water was restored. We left the following morning because he host supplying paper products and water indicated there would be no water restoration.
