This property was clean, maintained and had everything we needed. The owner provided a lot of little nice touches, with premade bags for smores, snacks, packaged toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. The area is beautiful and has lots of deer to watch. My family had plenty of room to gather and visit as we all came in from separate states to celebrate my recently passed Mother's life. This was a great property to stay at while in Buckhannon. The next time we are back in Buckhannon we would happily stay here again.

Family stay

Myself, my sister, and our families had an amazing weekend stay. We were visiting our Grandmother in the area and this house was perfect for us. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved the toys in the one bedroom and claimed it as “their room”. The living room was large and allowed us all to gather together and also the kitchen table was a great gathering place to play games. We look forward to staying again.

Beautiful and Relaxing!

You can't ask for a better place to stay. The home was spot less, and just beautiful inside and out. Very nicely appointed, and so many little touches from Kara that were so useful and thoughtful. My husband had a rather major health set back and we needed to push our trip back a few weeks. Kara allowed us to switch with no issues at all. She was so easy to work with. Kara is just a gracious host. We will definitely stay again.

My husband and I have been married for 10 years and have 4 children. In 2017 we jumped headfirst into Whitetail Deer Farming. We enjoy being outside and all types of livestock. Our kids are involved in 4-H and FFA and show their projects all summer long. In the fall of 2020 we were given the opportunity to purchase my brother in laws portion of the farm and now here we are..... :)
