About this property

Charming, remodeled farmhouse on the river to kayak with a hot tub & a firepit!!

A slice of heaven with this completely custom farmhouse mixed with its original charm. Whether you want to spend time in the river kayaking, tubing, fishing or just plain floating with your cocktail in hand, this place is on the river and equipped with all these fun options. If you'd prefer more land-based fun go hiking, pick wildflowers, hang out by the bonfire or relax in the hot tub overlooking the river.

Great Family Gathering
The six of us were only here for a few days in the winter, but we loved the house and property. We will definitely keep it in mind for gathering in the summer.

farmhouse
We had a great stay. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 4 children. The hot tub and outdoor shower were a big hit and the upstairs bath was amazing. The day was spent on the river with kayaks. The kids loved fishing in the pond and we spent the evenings around the firepit making smores. The property manager dropped off veggies from his garden.Highly recommend.

Family Vacation
We had the best time at the Farmhouse. So many activities for the whole family. We had two seven year old children on our trip and they had so much fun .The house was clean and well stocked with everything we would possibly need. So many extra little touches to make us feel welcomed. The hosts are so thoughtful and responsive. One of our best vacations.

Lovely place
Beautiful getaway in the nature. We really enjoyed kayaking and floating down on the river and the fire pit for the evening. Down side the place was not super clean when we got there. Lots of bugs on the ground. BBQ tools were dirty in BBQ. No propane for BBQ and then it was leaking but the property manager was great and fixed it real fast. Another downside was the hot tub was not working. For the $$$ you would expect everything to be working and really clean. But I still give it a 4 for the location on the river and peacefulness of the place. Would go back for sure.

Restful stay
My family and I needed a little rest and recharge after a busy 1st quarter and this house was great. We enjoyed the hot tub and the house was well appointed and beautifully decorated. It was also the cleanest vacation rental we have stayed at in probably 5 years (so maybe 20 houses). The views were calming and we enjoyed the firepit. Only downside is the weather didn’t cooperate with our outdoor activities and this part of WV didn’t seem to have a whole lot else. But we enjoyed the home and each others company!

Great Relaxing and Quiet Farm House
This place is quiet and comfortable with so many amenities on site. The kids loved the hot tub and toys in the shed. Mom and I loved setting on the porch watching the geese flying and splashing around. Well worth the drive to have dinner at "Smoke on the Water" while visiting the area,

Amazing
It was absolutely amazing. Area was great! Adults and children had a wonderful time, playing games, working puzzles and walking the property. After playing in the snow, they were able to come in and sit by the fire and warm up. Mark was so helpful. A must to visit.

Amazing Vacation Rental
My family and I decided to rent this property for Christmas and I couldn't be happier. The house was decorated for Christmas and the owners even put up a tree which was very important to the kids. It was beautifully decorated and fully stocked with amenities/supplies. The kitchen had plenty of spices, cooking oil, coffee, sugar, cleaning products, dishes, pots and pans. There were blankets galore for added comfort. We did not anticipate the frigid weather of -22 degrees. The heat worked very well and we took full advantage of the indoor fireplace and extra blankets to cozy up around the livingroom. We also brought our 2 dogs with us who enjoyed exploring the grounds once the weather cooperated. The beds were comfortable and the shower with double rain showerheads was delightful. A super Walmart was nearby which is where we purchased groceries, etc. The hot tub was a great way to relax especially given the cold outside. There were a bunch of games at the house, we especially loved playing the tabletop Scrabble game. The hosts were beyond helpful, communicative and accommodating.

Cute place with plenty of outdoor space
We really enjoyed our stay. The house was nicely remodeled, clean and well stocked. We especially appreciated the extra touches that really made us feel welcomed. Thanksgiving napkins, chocolates, coffee, etc. I have never spent time in a rental where the owners gave so much attention to detail. It was nice. However, I gave this property four stars simply for safety reasons. The basement bedroom does not have a window big enough to fit through. There isn’t one anywhere downstairs and this was daunting when you think about what our kids would do in the rare case of a fire - they would be trapped. I would consider adding an egress window to the basement.

Wonderful Retreat
We needed a place to unwind with our dogs and this place really fit our needs. We enjoyed being outside with our dogs and then the nice gas fireplace once inside. The kitchen is very well equipped so we made our meals at the house. The house is located very close to a state park with nice trails and we also enjoyed taking the dogs there. Overall, a very nice stay.

About the host

Hosted by Paula

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Pittsburgh and have twins in high school who love sports! We have a Great Dane named Chief who comes everywhere with us. We like to buy places, fix them up and enjoy them with our family. Now that our twins are in high school, they are very so busy with basketball, track and football so it's hard for us to get away to go to our vacation homes. We have decided to rent them out for other families to enjoy what we love about them.

Why they chose this property

This property is a peaceful place on the river where you can either relax or do lots of fun stuff outdoors: kayak, tube, fish, hike, build bonfires, go hot tubbing, or just relax on one of 4 decks. This is a place to disconnect, unwind and spend quality time with friends and family members.

What makes this property unique

This 100+ year old space has been fully restored with original farmhouse features and all the modern amenities you could ever want. It is a private and intimate property that is the perfect place for gatherings to either enjoy the outdoor activities or for pure relaxation.
The farmhouse has been meticulously designed with everything you will need to kick back and relax including a hot tub on the side deck, wi-fi, lots of super soft blankets, bathrobes in every bedroom, double-sided gas fireplace, a hammock outdoors, central air conditioning and heat, Adirondack chairs on multiple decks and around the bonfire pit. The layout of the property was designed for ultimate comfort and the rooms are modern and uniquely decorated to maintain the history of the home.
One of our favorite features of the farmhouse is the multiple decks in the back, front, side, as well as a separate deck overlooking the river with a picnic table to enjoy meals together. The side deck has a hot tub and an outdoor shower for guests to use. Comfortable Adirondack chairs line all the decks.
A few steps away from the back deck is a large firepit that is set up with Adirondack chairs. The bonfire pit sits next to a koi pond with a small waterfall for ultimate relaxation sounds. There is a shed placed next to the bonfire pit stocked with wood for evening campfires. We also provide a basket of s'more fixings for each guest.
The property has a large yard which is perfect for children to play on or for adults to have a bocce or horseshoe match, which we provide. From our property there is direct access to the Buckhannon River. Guests can walk right down to the riverbank to swim, float, kayak, or fish. We provide 5 kayaks, 4 tubes and 3 fishing floats which is stored in an outdoor shed to easily bring down to the river. Each kayak has a paddle and life jackets for guest to use.
