One of the most welcoming VRBOs I’ve ever stayed in. Our family was thrilled with the numerous amenities and well decorated spaces. We celebrated an early Christmas there and it fit our needs perfectly. From the spacious living area to the large dining room and the many snacks we could not have asked for more. Thank you.

The house was very clean, nicely decorated without being cluttered, and it wasn't stocked with garage sale leftovers. We have rented houses from Austin to Marco Island to Hilton Head, and this was one of our favorites.We will be back.

This was by far one of the Best VRBO's that I have stayed in. Great location, very private.You walk in the door and your are greeted with a wonderful dining room/kitchen and living room. The kitchen has everything we needed and more. Snacks, coffee, wine - Absolutely a wonderful surprise and to no surprise the bedrooms and bathroom were also fantastic. This place was very clean and offered a home away from home vibe. We brought our dog and they had accommodations for him as well.To sum it up WONDERFUL!

Had an out of State family wedding to attend in the area there and didn't want the typical hotel stay. Went out on a limb and secured our first ever Vrbo. Everything was just perfect. Very clean with attention to everything you'd possibly need. Felt like a home away from home. Had the pleasure of meeting the host(s) JD and his Wife Karen. Extremely gracious and easy going. Just good people. Definitely my place to stay if / when I come back to revisit.

About the host

Hosted by JD Gandee

Host profile image
JD Gandee grew up in Clendenin, about 18 miles away from the Sparrows Nest. After living in several different states, he came home with wife Karen. Karen Gandee spent most of her life in Southern Florida. The first time she visited Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia, she was in love (not only with her husband)! We have now lived in WV since 2012. It is our forever home. We built the Sparrows Nest near our home for two basic reasons: One is so that our children and their families, who live in MD, can come and visit the grandparents whenever they want to, and they have a wonderful, roomy, comfortable place to stay. Second is our desire to share the beautiful and amazing West Virginia with as many folks as possible. We are proud of our state. It truly is Almost Heaven.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet. The Nest is at the end of the street, so there is no through traffic at all. The view is really great from the huge deck. There has been no crime reported on Credemont, the hill here, for anyone's remembrance. It's a great place to live, and a great place to come and relax. Relax around the fire pit (we supply the wood and kindling), and roast a hot dog or make some S'mores. Bring your dog and take a leisurely walk or have a game of fetch in our large yard (the only true flat plat on the entire hill).

What makes this property unique

There are several reasons to stay at the Sparrows Nest. First, you have great hosts who have never hosted before, but are very eager to please! We have custom built this beautiful home with you in mind. The rooms are spacious, not cramped. The towels, bedding, and toilet paper are soft. You will dig your toes into the amazing bathroom rugs. I (JD) built much of the Sparrows Nest with my own two hands, and Karen did all of the designing from paint colors to rugs, dishes, and placement of furniture. You will feel this when you recline in the leather sofa, throw a blanket over you, and doze off to the huge Smart TV. You will see the sun stream through the trees and into each room. Sunrises and Sunsets are equally striking on opposite hillsides. Relax, rest, and recharge. The nest is a wonderful place to roost. Welcome.
