Wonderful Long Weekend Stay
Guest: Riaglb
(Wilmington, Delaware)
Date of Stay: 04/01/07
Review Submitted: 04/30/07
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for four days, along with our dogs Woody and Riley. We loved the cabin and the quiet nights, and found that four days was not nearly enough time to explore the area. We hiked at Seneca Rocks and at the South Branch of the Potomac, and also visited Blackwater Falls and saw a bit of the Dolly Sod. Our favorite place to eat was the Blackwater Brewing Company in Davis - pretty good food and excellent beer! Floyd was wonderful in making sure we had the information we needed. And, the HomeAway listing was exactly on target. Thanks - we really enjoyed the visit, and hope to return! - Janet

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The cabin was very accommodating and Floyd was extreamly helpful. We loved the relaxing evenings in the hot tub and the ease of access to the local attractions. We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a home away from home. We definitely plan on returning!

Cozy cabin with lots of space to relax. We took beautiful day hikes in Dolly Sods Wilderness Area and Blackwater State Park with our ten-month old baby and two dogs. This was a great place to come back to at the end of the day. Nice kitchen, clean and spacious bedrooms, gas fireplace, hot tub. Not many neighbors this time of year. A very quiet retreat!

ARMSTRONG OUTING

We loved this house and the location. The only problem that we had was the hot tub was not working. We enjoyed the area and the restaurants. Our dogs were happy as could be to be able to be with us everywhere we went. The only thing we regret is not heading away from Davis to the other state parks. Lots of places to hike. We loved the house and it was everything that Floyd promised. The best part of this rental was the communication between floyd and us.......he was there for every need! Thanks Floyd, we will be back next year!

My friends and I rented this cabin for a week. We had a great time. Cabin was very nice. Floyd kept in touch with us from the moment we inquired about the house until we got home. We fished, golfed and went white water rafting. We enjoyed the quite evenings and the hot tub. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. Thanks Floyd for your hospitality!

Very comfortable home

We visited this home Jan 2011. It was very comfortable and clean. The hot tub was just a step away from the back door and made our evenings. In the evening you could sit on the sofa and watch the ski runs of Timberline. Excellent snow removal. The front porch swing would be a wonderful place to sit and enjoy evenings in spring, summer and fall.

Wonderful Ski and Family Get Away

We have stayed in different personal property rentals-but this one definitely was at the top of our list. The owners were wonderful to work with. The place is very clean and well-maintained-and stocked fully with practical amenities. The rental is very conveniently located to both ski resorts-and has a lot of character because you pass through a small air strip to get there. You can also see one of the ski resort's lights at night from the front window-which added character to our ski trip. It is away from busy roads-but yet extremely convenient to skiing and the local restaurants. We would definitely come here again! It was a great family vacation!

New Year's Celebration

My friends and I rented this cabin for a weekend to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We had a great time. Floyd kept in touch with us from the moment we inquired about the house until we got home. The kitchen offers everything you need to cook in, which made preparing our New Year’s Eve dinner very easy. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. We also visited Blackwater Falls which are breathtaking during the winter. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. Thanks Floyd for your hospitality!

Nice little get away!!

Review Submitted: 09/26/10
Was a nice get away. Was able to take our 2 children (2 dogs). The leaves were just starting to change down there so got to see that. Got to relax on the back porch and sit in the hot tub. Wake up in the morning seeing geese and deer and the fog lifting off the mountain and the sun coming up over the mountain. Got to see some nice scenery and just relax and get away from work. Nice little restaurant on site to get up and go to breakfast if you want or you can cook in the kitchen, whatever you prefer. Nice big comfy king size bed, wish we could get it to fit in our house!!

Carminden is a lovely spot to stay and within a reasonable driving distance of several tourist attractions. We were only there for 3 nights but managed to make it to Blackwater Falls, Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, Smoke Hole Caverns, and Mt Storm. We cooked "in" many nights but managed to make it out to some of the local restaurants (all within a reasonable drive and reasonably priced). The view of the airstrip in the fog from the hot tub was simply amazing and unusual. We only wish we'd brought our dog - this has to be the most dog-friendly vacation spot we've been yet. We fell in love with one of the dogs from a neighboring house to tide us over LOL. The highlight of the trip was taking a scenic chair lift ride at Canaan Valley Resort and being proposed to! It definitely seems like magic happens at Carminden, and our trip was no exception. :)
