In any kind of real estate, including a vacation rental, it’s all about location, location, location. You couldn’t beat the location of this rental in the heart of the New River Gorge National Park, right off WV16 & U.S. 19 and the Bridge that are the keys to getting anywhere, and in the heart of the Fayetteville community, including shops and restaurants, literally “steps away” as advertised. Five stars for location!
The space itself was comfortable enough and well equipped and served as an adequate and affordable base for a day or two in the Gorge. I stayed nearly a week, and over this amount of time, you discover some quirks…it was difficult to keep the bedroom cool given the direction of daytime heating, the “hourglass” configuration of the space, and the hot water heater in the bedroom closet; the AC also probably needs a good cleaning; the oven ran super hot, the slightest cooking fumes set off the fire alarm, and the hood did no good since it was vented right into the kitchen instead of outside. And when you used the remote to control the AC, it also turned on the TV. Quite hilarious in the middle of the night. None of these things were deal killers, and the owners should be able to correct them over time.
I’d still recommend this place to anyone spending time in the National Park. People who spend their days outdoors, don’t usually need luxury. It’s really all about location, location, location.
