Family weekend
This place is absolutely perfect for our family We had four generations in this house over the weekend and no one was bored. We enjoyed the fishing pond, the fire pit, the view, morning coffee on the porch, the hot tub, the fenced yard for the fur baby and the littles and games indoors. We would definitely stay here again but maybe add a few more days. Everyone said we needed more time at this house!!!

Family vacation
The home was clean and well stocked with supplies. There were 15 adults and several children and the dogs. Everyone had a wonderful time including the family pets. The guests enjoyed the home, especially the pond and hot tub. The host was very helpful with any questions my family had. Hope to return for another stay.

Perfect group getaway
Ten family members gathering for Christmas, ages 20 and up. Great common spaces, including a super-long dining table. Well-equipped kitchen. Great outdoor spaces, too, in warmer weather (we lucked out with a warm December day and spent it on the wraparound porch). Convenient for hiking in New River Gorge. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great location
First of all, this property is located on a very beautiful lot, easy access from the main road (US 19) and very close to some of the most popular trailheads. So location was perfect. We enjoyed the fire ring outside, the grill and the fact that the driveway was paved (being a little steep to get in). The wrapped porch was perfect to be out in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed (since we prepared all our meals in). I would invest in a tea kettle, that would be very useful. We really liked the big long dining table that could fit all 11 of us and wide enough for our board games. Now a few negatives: the shower drains were not working properly, it seems, in at least 2 of the bathrooms. The shower in the basement for sure, and it is very unpleasant to shower with water pooling to your ankles. The 3 bedrooms in the basement are really one long space divided by wood panels to create the 3 bedrooms. There is not privacy and in the bedroom we slept there was no vent, so it got really cold overnight. The other bedroom across the bathroom in the basement has the furnace in the closet so whoever sleeps there better be a deep sleeper and be able to fall asleep fast. The door to that bedroom did not close so it had to be held with something. The basement was kind of dark, but the kids did not complain. Overall we had a good time with out friends and that is what matter.

Private family retreat
We had a great family weekend. The house is roomy and we enjoyed the large dining table big enough for our group of 14. The outdoor area was great for wiffle ball, fishing, and hanging out on the porch.

Great place, great people
Totally pleasantly surprised. This house had 2 kitchens and two sets of washers and dryers. House was super clean, wrap around deck so great overlooking the pond and front yard, fenced in back yard great for pets and children, outdoor firepit was probably the hugest firepit that we have ever had in our VRBO experiences (which have been a lot). Property Manager Colleen, super sweet. My grandson accidentally left his "blankie" and the cleaning person found it and Colleen is having it shipped back to one happy grandson. Can't say enough of this place and we are all looking forward to returning.

Wonderful
This was the second year we stayed at this property. It is a beautiful serene place where you can relax and chill or get out and see the wonderful area around the New River Gorge. We spent a day on Summersville lake, took a day trip down the New River and explored the area hiking. We even explored thedelightful little town of Fayettville.

Peaceful private setting
This house is huge, we had so much space for all of our teens! It was super clean and even the pots and pans were in great shape. We loved the fishing pond, fire pit and beautiful green wooded surroundings! We felt like we were by ourselves but still only 5-10 minutes from the gorge. We would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Family Ski Trip
We absolutely loved staying here! The property is gorgeous and the house was absolutely perfect for our group. We had lots of room to stretch out, cook, and play games. It was a very cold weekend, so the hot tub was fantastic to warm up and soak our sore muscles. We hope to visit and stay here again.

We Loved It!!!!
House is exactly what we were looking for our family get to gather. Location was great!!! Loved the fenced yard and porch for our dog. The only annoyance was the creaking box springs and so many ladybugs. But in saying that we would still go back. The owners have everything you could possibly want for cooking for a large group. If you like solitude this is the place for you!!!

Cozy Country Cabin
This cabin was a lovely get away for all 13 members of our family! Ample sleeping space with clean comfy beds. Hot tub was clean, fenced yard was great for the dog, fire pit and wood was very nice and kitchen well stocked! No need to bring salt and pepper! Lol It’s a drive to get out to the cabin but the solitude and beauty of the wood was an escape. Highly recommend this property for large family gatherings!

Perfect Property for a Full Family Get Together
This property offered everything we needed to satisfy the whole family. We were able to put the kids to bed below in quiet and have full access to the top level. The backyard is fabulous and we took full advantage of the fire pit and hot tub. Also, we hiked the property and had a ball. The house was clean and we had everything we needed. Thank you for sharing this property with us.

The Perfect Place for A Guys Getaway
Our stay was awesome! The house had more than enough room for our 12 guests and the layout was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils which allowed us to cook and prepare meals. The fire pit and seating created a great atmosphere to spend time outdoors, and we really enjoyed our experience. We would highly recommend this location to large groups!
