The cabin and property were wonderful, very secluded and private and very relaxing! The hosts were very helpful and responsive and very accommodating. It was a little to hot outside to fully enjoy the hot tub but it was a nice option to have a long with the fire pit!

The place was clean. The hot tub was clean and ready to use, coming in handy. Thank you for that. We stayed just one night, but we used the fire pit for a bonfire and grilling dinner fare, which provided an authentic camping experience.The last 100 feet of the gravel driveway are quite steep; one of the vehicles with front-wheel drive couldn't make it to the parking area, but the 4-wheel drive SUV managed without a problem.All in all, I would recommend this stay.

Very private location. Older cabin but i prefer that over the new age stuff feels more like home to me. Plenty of stuff to do around within 30 mins. Simple info for check-in and owners were very respectful of privacy. Hot tub was a plus but i stayed out front burning wood which you can buy from em and not have to deal with it. Definitely planning on going back

We Stayed a Full Week, Within 30mins Of all the Places we wanted to See, I Enjoyed the Hot Tub! & the Bath tub, Cabin was as seen On Pictures. Dog Friendly My Girls was Very Happy with Yard and Free Roaming. I Hope to Return Again In the future, Such a Beautiful Area. Loved having a Washer & Dryer. It Had Everything we Needed & More. And Our Host Gave Us the Privacy we Hoped For & Responded within Minutes of Any Messages! We'll be back ;) The Bathroom was On Top Floor, but We Used Upstairs Bedroom So work Out Great. Only thing I Would Advise is Not having a Vehicle to Low to Ground. You are In the Mountains on Back Roads. But We Loved it...

The cabin is very well maintained and we were all comfortable during our stay. One issue we had is with the driveway. The gravel on the hill near the cabin is very thick and our van had a hard time getting up the hill. I had to give it three attempts on the first time driving in. We eventually had to unload a few things from the vehicle to get up to the parking area. I think it warrants some improvement, perhaps even just thinning the gravel? Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy Cabin

We booked a 3 night stay. The host was wonderful and began communicating with us before our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and even checked on us after check in. If you are looking for a cozy cabin that is off the beaten path with a 20-30 minute commute to Summersville Lake this place is for you. It reminds me of Grandmas house growing up with its rustic mountain charm.

From start to finish we enjoyed everything about our vacation. Steve and Barbara are absolutely the most wonderful hosts we have ever encountered. Barbara saw we were having some issues with our truck upon arrival and showed up quickly to offer a helping hand. Unfortunately we found out the hard way we have a vacuum issue with our 4 wheel drive that made it impossible to make the last 50 yards of the hill to the property but Steve showed up with his tractor to pull us to the top! Again...amazing over and above hosts. The hottub was perfect and hot! Much needed to soothe aching muscles after rafting the Upper n Lower G plus the ATV trails going straight to the river are amazing. Plenty of supplies available in home and the peace and tranquility and seclusion are exactly what we wanted. Advise to 1st timers...make sure to test tour 4 wheel drive before attempting that hill...front wheel drive vehicles probably have the advantage. We will 100% be back for our WV visits! See ya soon
