In New River Gorge for some white water rafting. Big family trip with eight adults, three kids and a couple dogs. Plenty of space and beds for all of us. Loved the fenced back yard (good for dogs and little kids to stay in place) as well as the hot tub and fire pit. Tons of towels for all and lots of plates and cups and utensils. Very very quiet and private. We loved it!!

Perfect group getaway

Ten family members gathering for Christmas, ages 20 and up. Great common spaces, including a super-long dining table. Well-equipped kitchen. Great outdoor spaces, too, in warmer weather (we lucked out with a warm December day and spent it on the wraparound porch). Convenient for hiking in New River Gorge. Would absolutely stay here again.

Family weekend

This place is absolutely perfect for our family We had four generations in this house over the weekend and no one was bored. We enjoyed the fishing pond, the fire pit, the view, morning coffee on the porch, the hot tub, the fenced yard for the fur baby and the littles and games indoors. We would definitely stay here again but maybe add a few more days. Everyone said we needed more time at this house!!!

Family vacation

The home was clean and well stocked with supplies. There were 15 adults and several children and the dogs. Everyone had a wonderful time including the family pets. The guests enjoyed the home, especially the pond and hot tub. The host was very helpful with any questions my family had. Hope to return for another stay.

Great property

Teen son says it was awesoime. The boys enjoyed the fusball table and the t.v. downstairs away from it all. We all made use of the fire pit and loved looking at the millions of stars you could see being away from civilization. The raccoons trying to get into the trash cans were a hoot to watch and the morning we left, my husband actually released 2 of them that had managed to get themselves in one of them. I appreciated the layout of the house because it did allow for the kids to do their thing and make noise while I enjoyed reading on the deck or getting to sleep without being disturbed. Hot tub was enjoyed by all! House was in good proximity to New River Gorge bridge and our white water rafting company. The driveway is gravel, steep and has some significant ruts in it so drive carefully. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location

First of all, this property is located on a very beautiful lot, easy access from the main road (US 19) and very close to some of the most popular trailheads. So location was perfect. We enjoyed the fire ring outside, the grill and the fact that the driveway was paved (being a little steep to get in). The wrapped porch was perfect to be out in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed (since we prepared all our meals in). I would invest in a tea kettle, that would be very useful. We really liked the big long dining table that could fit all 11 of us and wide enough for our board games. Now a few negatives: the shower drains were not working properly, it seems, in at least 2 of the bathrooms. The shower in the basement for sure, and it is very unpleasant to shower with water pooling to your ankles. The 3 bedrooms in the basement are really one long space divided by wood panels to create the 3 bedrooms. There is not privacy and in the bedroom we slept there was no vent, so it got really cold overnight. The other bedroom across the bathroom in the basement has the furnace in the closet so whoever sleeps there better be a deep sleeper and be able to fall asleep fast. The door to that bedroom did not close so it had to be held with something. The basement was kind of dark, but the kids did not complain. Overall we had a good time with out friends and that is what matter.

We want you to know that we take any negative feedback very seriously. So we have addressed all the issues you discussed. We fixed the door that wouldn't close. We have put an electric heater in the room that was cold. We have cleaned out the drains that were slow draining. We put a tea kettle in the kitchen. The walls between the 3 bedrooms in the basement are properly constructed 2x4 framed walls with 1/2 inch poplar tongue and groove panels on 3 of them and sheet paneling on one so each bedroom has normal four walls and a door so I am not sure how that is not perceived as private so nothing there could be changed. Same with the location of the furnace. We are very happy that your overall experience was a positive one. We hope you visit with us again.

Serenity Lodge is well equipped for larger groups (we had 14 - 6 were kids). The grounds were great for wiffle ball and other games. Kitchen had everything you need. We did switch out the gas grill tank - so the one left behind is empty. Plenty of space to move around. We had a wonderful stay.

Private family retreat

We had a great family weekend. The house is roomy and we enjoyed the large dining table big enough for our group of 14. The outdoor area was great for wiffle ball, fishing, and hanging out on the porch.

Great place, great people

Totally pleasantly surprised. This house had 2 kitchens and two sets of washers and dryers. House was super clean, wrap around deck so great overlooking the pond and front yard, fenced in back yard great for pets and children, outdoor firepit was probably the hugest firepit that we have ever had in our VRBO experiences (which have been a lot). Property Manager Colleen, super sweet. My grandson accidentally left his "blankie" and the cleaning person found it and Colleen is having it shipped back to one happy grandson. Can't say enough of this place and we are all looking forward to returning.

Wonderful

This was the second year we stayed at this property. It is a beautiful serene place where you can relax and chill or get out and see the wonderful area around the New River Gorge. We spent a day on Summersville lake, took a day trip down the New River and explored the area hiking. We even explored thedelightful little town of Fayettville.

Peaceful private setting

This house is huge, we had so much space for all of our teens! It was super clean and even the pots and pans were in great shape. We loved the fishing pond, fire pit and beautiful green wooded surroundings! We felt like we were by ourselves but still only 5-10 minutes from the gorge. We would definitely stay here again!
