Delightful couples retreat cottage.

Quaint, tastefully remolded, perfect for a short getaway, close to nearby activities, friendly owners. The muffins, water along with coffee and tea upon arrival were a nice touch. Soft bedding and towels were a plus.

The house was very clean, well-stocked, and decorated so cute! Nancy was very responsive and the binder of info inside was very useful! I would consider staying again if we're in the area in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Such a gem!

We are long time VRBO fans and this one didn’t disappoint. The property was so clean, check in was easy, the owner is super kind, and the all around vibe of the place is just fantastic. From the extra blankets on the bed to the fully stocked coffee maker, to the plentiful towels and linens, to the birds chirping at us in the morning…We had an amazing time! Definitely coming back with more family.

Great character just enough space

Great place to stay when visiting the area. House is well maintained and has most things you might need. Kitchen is adequate so you don’t have to eat out all the time and the bathroom is nice as well. Beds are super squeaky but adequate. Location is a bit tough to get to at various times of day due to traffic. Best VRBO in the area by a long shot

Fabulously Cozy and Chic

This was by far one of the better VRBO stays that we have had. It was a chilly day of arrival but we came in to a very warm and cozy electric fireplace that was just what we needed. Everything was very clean and the linens were spa quality. Fluffy, warm and cozy just what I like! The property was quiet and peaceful. Thank you for a fantastic break from reality! We only wish we could have stayed longer!

It was a nice place. Very pretty. We are from Ohio and was not ready the poor mountain roads and steep driveway. The weather didn’t help our stay either. Overall the place was very beautiful and comfy. Just want we needed!! Thanks!!

House is great, driveway not so much

House is lovely, nicely decorated, and not too far from Charleston. The problem is the 45 degree driveway that is not mentioned in the property details. It starts with gravel, then has some cement with a large chunk sticking up, then more gravel. With a regular sedan type car, it was very difficult. Luckily, another guest in our party had an SUV.

Wonderful stay!

This was the perfect getaway for two lifelong friends. The house is adorable, perfectly decorated and appointed, and stocked with everything you need and more. The beds are super comfortable as was the couch. The extra touches were fantastic. We had one small issue with wifi and the owner responded immediately. We will be back!

Charming Cozy Cottage

We had a lovely time at this charming, cozy cottage. We cooked all of our meals here and enjoyed several hikes at the local state park (about 40 minutes). The cottage was quite clean and had what we needed for our stay. The shower is also very nice -- no shortage of hot water or water pressure. Be aware the roads in this area are winding with lots of switchbacks. To be expected in the mountains, but a bit tricky to navigate if you are a "flatlander".

Perfect house for a quick trip

We had a lovely stay at the cottage while in town for a family function. Plenty of room for myself, husband, and 10 month old. The house isn’t “baby proof” per say, but it didn’t make the stay difficult with a curious almost-walker. Kitchen was perfect, bathroom was very stylish and functional, and the cabin was immaculately clean. Be prepared for the steep driveway, and the water gets scalding hot when it’s wide open. Otherwise, we would definitely rebook if in the area!

West Virginia Gem

My daughter and I stayed at the Old Woodland Acres Cottage for 4 nights while we were exploring West Virginia. Cottage was a perfect size for the two of us and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed to feel at home. Everything in the cottage was in good working order. We really enjoyed the peaceful setting of the property. Thanks for providing a great place to stay while in West Virginia!

Nancy responded to my “last minute” request to book promptly, made all our requested accommodations, and the property was exactly as advertised. Clean, private, nicely updated and easy to get to and from. The fresh muffins were unbelievable! If we find ourselves in the Charleston area again, we will be sure to contact Nancy.

Fall Getaway

I loved this cottage the minute I walked in the door. Nancy has taken care of every detail you can think of, and even those you haven't. The week before our arrival, Nancy emailed a very thorough and detailed email that included directions and FYI tidbits about the cottage and surrounding area. We arrived on a Friday evening and I called her with a question about the house number. She was quick to answer and was extremely friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was very well decorated and extremely clean. I cannot say enough good things about this location. Would definitely stay again.
