Great Launching Point for DuPont State Forest

This is an older home right off the highway just outside of Cedar Mountain. These are basic lodgings for sure but it’s clean and communication and check-in are both ideal. I would certainly stay here again if I were in the area.

Cute home

We enjoyed our 1 night stay. It’s an older home that has been for the most part renovated. Everything was charming, but the kitchen needs some work done. It was enough for us for one night, but would have been inconvenient if we had stayed longer.

Cozy

It is a cute remodeled home! I have no complaints about the property itself nor the process, however the neighbors property is kinda rundown with junk in the yard. No one ever bothered us, but it an eye sore when the two properties kinda run together. This did not affect our rating because it is a great little get away.

Great weekend get away

Apple picking is an annual event for my family and we wanted a place to relax and enjoy the remote mountains. This place did the trick - it was half way for my college kids as well as the ones still at home. Lovely house with a great fire pit! We had a nice fire roasted hot dogs and made smores. Only thing I would change is to have logs for the fire. We had to find someplace selling wood as the small pieces around were damp. Otherwise, awesome place!

Beautiful location

The drive up the mountain to this property was beautiful, with many scenic view accesses on the way. The home is tucked away near the woods and the surroundings were quiet. The home had everything if needed at first, such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, etc. I find that some listings say they offer these but they don't. The home was clean and even had some toys for our four-year-old to enjoy while there! We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Ok for short stay

There were some updates that had been made but the house is very old. As soon as we walked in there is a very noticeable musty smell and every room we went in had cobwebs implying the cleaners did not do a thorough job. Overall it served its purpose which was just a place to sleep for a couple days as we were not there long or at all during the daytime. I would not recommend renting for a long stay but is adequate for a night or two.
