First B&B experience

We visit Charleston frequently and usually book a hotel. After initial hesitation (negative reviews of B&B experience) we decided to take a chance on a rental. This particular rental's reviews are precise. This is ideal for a family, so many thoughtful amenities are provided and constant communication from the property owners. So pleased we intend to book again!

Absolutely perfect and oh so charming!

We had an amazing stay in the south hills charmer, we stayed 3 nights and it was as comfortable as it was charming! The cozy living room was perfect for family time and great memories. The area of town was great, a quick to walk to pizza, gelato and coffee. We also loved the museum and the capitol market.

Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood

This was a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood and was a short walk from several shops & restaurants. The interior of the home was very wellcared for & the kitchen had all of the utensils we wanted along with most of the basic spices we could use. We will definitely stay in this home again if we visit the area.

Better than Expected

We really enjoyed our stay on Hickory Rd! The beds were very comfortable and the home was absolutely charming. We are hoping to return in the fall and would love to stay here again. The little town area was lovely; don’t miss Lola’s amazing pizza (and more), the Gelato/Coffee Cafe, the children’s clothing and (Amazing) toy store…, the bakery and sandwich/coffee shop. All just a couple blocks away!! Who knew Charleston would be so much fun?

Beautiful WV home in a great location and quiet, safe neighborhood.

We traveled from Phoenix to Charleston to see our son graduate college. We initially booked this VRBO for its close proximity to the university and also downtown area. I have to say we absolutely LOVED IT! The house was easy to find and the check-in instructions were clear. The house itself was fantastic (I mean I could live there lol!), it was a charming WV style 3 bedroom, with all the amenities you could possibly need. Kitchen had everything you needed to cook and a BIG thank you to the owners for having the keurig coffee pod station full, as we had many early mornings. The beds were SO comfortable, and we liked the master bedroom being off by itself on the second floor with the other 2 bedrooms downstairs. The location was great, and walking distance to a few little restaurants and shops. We walked the carriage trail pretty much every day, which is a nice hike close by that has a lot of history attached to it. Coming from Arizona that was unique and we enjoyed it immensely. All in all a great vacation/ graduation and VRBO experience.

Great rental in Charleston

This property is a great place to stay if you are visiting the Charleston area. It is very close to the freeways and downtown. It is located in a cute neighborhood with numerous dining, bar, and grocery options within a short walk. The property is appointed with very good utensils for cooking and nice flatware and appliances including washer and dryer. The living room and dining room have a relaxed cabin-like feel with nice wood floors and wall paneling. If anything the pictures don't do it justice. The upstairs bedroom is very nice and has abundant natural light. This was a very comfortable property for four adults. I would definitely rent here again.

Delightful get-away in Charleston, WV

What a delightful little house with character! Solid plank hardwood floors buffed to a dazzling sheen, comfy furnishings, formal dining room. Three bedrooms offered a welcome variety mattress firmness, allowing guests with back problems the opportunity to chose a mattress that was just right. Bathrooms were immaculate. It was summer so we had no need of a roaring fire, but the two wood-burning fireplaces would be really welcome in winter. As a general comment, this was hands-down THE BEST, most well-stocked house in which we have ever stayed. BEST-QUALITY EVERYTHING: sheets, plush towels, Fiesta dishware, cutlery, baking tools, appliances (there were two different kinds of coffee-makers, including a Keurig, top-of-the-line blenders, food-processors), and pots and pans. The washer and dryer were a great convenience, especially since soap, dryer sheets and stain remover sprays were all provided. The neighborhood is quiet, with neat and well-maintained bungalows up and down the street. Located just 5 miles from downtown restaurants and attractions, it was very well-situated. The one negative was the television. No cable is provided. There were only channels showing 1960 tv shows. The assumption is that renters will have their own streaming subscriptions and use their streaming access to do tv viewing. Since we don't subscribe to any streaming services, we were totally out of luck. Fortunately, we came for the attractions and events, and not tv. Overall, a great stay!!
