We were visiting friends for the weekend and found this house perfect for us. Very spacious and accommodating for the short visit we had. Plenty of clean towels and linen.We had to call upon arrival to get the updated code and the host picked up on the first try and got us in.

This house was very, very well stocked. The quality of pots, pans, well, basically everything in the kitchen was 10/10.High quality appliances. Deck was so nice with plenty of quality chairs, table, etc. I've stayed in many rentals that provide cheap and over-used furnishings, so this house was a refreshing change. This house was perfect for our family.

Gorgeous house in secluded location

Really nice house exactly as described. Beautiful deck overlooking the river with osprey and eagles soaring around. Everything was comfortable and just as described. It was a bit of a drive to get back to “civilization” but really nothing was out of reach. Loved our stay and would come back if the opportunity presents itself!

Response from VrboOwner on 14 November 2020
We are not sure what rated the 3 star review. As you can see, Carolyn said the house was very clean. We tried contacting her to see if there were any issues we could resolve and did not get a response. Please rely on our nearly 100% 5 star ratings.

Wonderful weekend in West Virginia

The home was updated and clean. The fishing was great. The scenery was very pretty. It's off the beaten path and the neighbors are a little intimidating, but they were as kind and welcoming as the property owners. I highly recommend this home for an off the grid getaway.
