The perfect West Virginia getaway

We chose the gingerbread house for its proximity to New River Gorge national park and we are so glad we did! The house was spacious and easily accommodated our group of 7 adults and 4 children. It was the perfect "home base" to zipline, horseback ride, hike, and raft, and then have a cozy, quiet retreat to come back to in the afternoons. The pool is spotless and the perfect size for kids - be aware that there really isn't a "shallow area" appropriate for very small children but my older child and nephew (9 and 12) had a blast on the waterslide. There is a large yard that is perfect for sports. We used the charcoal grill and the firepit as well. Bugs weren't too bad but it helped that we brought insect repellent and citronella candles. The nighttime sky was stunning - we are city dwellers and not used to seeing the Milky Way, so that was a lovely surprise. Debbie and Pat were gracious hosts and made sure we had what we needed to be comfortable. There were plenty of towels, paper products, and pillows - just need to bring your own bed linens. Would absolutely come back here again.
