The cabin is very well maintained and we were all comfortable during our stay. One issue we had is with the driveway. The gravel on the hill near the cabin is very thick and our van had a hard time getting up the hill. I had to give it three attempts on the first time driving in. We eventually had to unload a few things from the vehicle to get up to the parking area. I think it warrants some improvement, perhaps even just thinning the gravel? Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay!

I needed a little Christmas getaway, and this place delivered. The house was cozy, the owner was responsive, and they even left a little gift for us. The decorated Christmas tree was also a nice touch. I'd happily rent from them again when I'm in the area.

SECLUDED MOUNTAIN CABIN.

Lovely, spacious cabin is off the beaten path but so close to Summersville Lake and all the whitewater rafting you could ask for. Clean, cozy and well stocked for an ideal getaway. We had a peaceful and private stay. Many thanks to our great hosts for their super hospitality.

Cabin is clean, roomy, well-kept, and super peaceful. Secluded is not the word. So nice to sit on a porch and listen to nature. Beautiful surroundings. Hot tub feels wonderful after a long day of hiking, boating, fishing, or whatever. Great place!

Perfect Getaway

We stayed here for 3 nights while celebrating our anniversary. It was absolutely perfect. Secluded and beautiful. We had 2 nights with clear skies and enjoyed the firepit out front. The 3rd night it rained, so we sat on the front porch and played cards. The cabin itself was great, everything we needed. If we find ourselves in West Virginia again, we'll definitely be staying here again!

Great place to get away

Great hilltop cabin surrounded by great parks and little historic spots scattered throughout. It was a nice, cozy getaway. Only thing to give a heads up about, is depending on your cellular provider, you may not get reception at the cabin. But this was settled by takinga short drive down 129.

Peaceful and Serene

This cabin is very secluded and you do not have to drive on the main road to get to the Gauley River. Very comfortable and clean with a hot tub under the stars. The hosts are kind and attentive. The atmosphere beautiful and relaxing. Close to Summersville Dam, lake and recreation area. Very close to the upper Gauley and many cool hiking areas.

Weekend getaway

We rented the cabin for a weekend getaway from the city. It was exactly as described. Check in was super easy and Miss Barbara was right on point with answering my questions. She was so accommodating as we were driving 4 hours to come. So easy to work with. The stay was cozy, there was everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and the cabin was clean and stocked with amenities. The property is extremely pet friendly. Our dogs had a wonderful time. Getting around was a breeze with 4wd (recommended) but also because the hosts told us ahead of time about steep parts of the road and driveway…. Beautiful scenery. Super nice people. The local community was kind and welcoming as were the hosts. And there’s a Piggly Wiggly up highway a few miles! We will be back not just for the scenery and cabin, but also because there are still genuinely nice people in this world and the hosts are an example of that. I left with serenity and new people in my life that I’m grateful for. We can’t wait to come back.

We Stayed a Full Week, Within 30mins Of all the Places we wanted to See, I Enjoyed the Hot Tub! & the Bath tub, Cabin was as seen On Pictures. Dog Friendly My Girls was Very Happy with Yard and Free Roaming. I Hope to Return Again In the future, Such a Beautiful Area. Loved having a Washer & Dryer. It Had Everything we Needed & More. And Our Host Gave Us the Privacy we Hoped For & Responded within Minutes of Any Messages! We'll be back ;) The Bathroom was On Top Floor, but We Used Upstairs Bedroom So work Out Great. Only thing I Would Advise is Not having a Vehicle to Low to Ground. You are In the Mountains on Back Roads. But We Loved it...

From start to finish we enjoyed everything about our vacation. Steve and Barbara are absolutely the most wonderful hosts we have ever encountered. Barbara saw we were having some issues with our truck upon arrival and showed up quickly to offer a helping hand. Unfortunately we found out the hard way we have a vacuum issue with our 4 wheel drive that made it impossible to make the last 50 yards of the hill to the property but Steve showed up with his tractor to pull us to the top! Again...amazing over and above hosts. The hottub was perfect and hot! Much needed to soothe aching muscles after rafting the Upper n Lower G plus the ATV trails going straight to the river are amazing. Plenty of supplies available in home and the peace and tranquility and seclusion are exactly what we wanted. Advise to 1st timers...make sure to test tour 4 wheel drive before attempting that hill...front wheel drive vehicles probably have the advantage. We will 100% be back for our WV visits! See ya soon
