The best cabin and experience we ever had as a family in WV. This place had everything we were looking for, and beyond!Paula's cabin is a perfect retreat for relaxation and fun! Pristine clean, close to the lake, with amazing amenities for all the family and your pet. We appreciate all the amenities (whirpool, sauna, indor and outdoor fire places, games, kayaks, etc) the beautiful nature (very close to the lake), night star gazing, birth watching. We felt very fortunate to have found this place to celebrate my husband's birthday. The place transmits the care Paula put together in all the details, thank you!

Very nice clean, eclectic place with great amenities. Paula is a great host, tentative when we had questions. It was cold and windy by the lake, but there was plenty to do inside (games, sauna, TV, etc.) on a snowy winter day. Enjoyed having a fire in fireplace in the sunroom watching outside nature. We hope to return to enjoy all that is offered when it's warmer.

My wife and I loved our stay at this location. Was a perfect weekend getaway. We really enjoyed what the house had to offer, especially the hot tub, sauna, and fireplace. Made the cold rainy weather we had cozy and enjoyable as we huddled up inside.
