You and your family were the perfect guests! Thank you for taking such great care of our home. We would love to host you again when you have time to enjoy some R and R!
Very cozy, home offered just about anything you would need. The owners are very nice and very quick to respond to any questions. The large property and privacy was an added bonus. Would highly recommend this property and personally love to return.
Mu wife and I (and dog) enjoyed an excellent weekend. The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property is very quiet and serene with beautiful views. Host added many extra treats and bottled water and was extremely easy to work with and always accessible. The back porch has gas fireplace where we spent majority of time just chilling and relaxing. Highly recommend!!

Great comfortable place for a weekend with friends
We thoroughly enjoyed our time, the place was super comfortable and we loved the attention to detail with snacks and blankets throughout the place. Beautiful rural location.
It was a beautiful place for family members of all ages. We had a great time and seen the river otter of otters way. If given the chance to head back that way we will definitely stay again.

Ryan you and your family were fabulous guests! From leaving the campfire wood to leaving the house clean, I could not have asked for better guests! We loved hosting you and would love to have you back! Thanks for being wonderful guests!
This property was just what we needed for our family of 12 to get together and enjoy the weekend. The kids loved that they had room to run and play, the guys loved fishing, and just being able to sit and relax and enjoy our time together.
We hope to return!

Great home with tons of space. Perfect for our family of four and dog. Wonderful hosts made sure everything was taken care of so we could relax. Plenty of excursions around, but also no need to leave.

Our family enjoyed our stay. The house everything you would need. Plus! Our grandchildren loved the toys and the bunk room. We did the Christmas train ride which is only 10 minutes away!
You can really tell the house is cared for. It feels like a home. It had everything you could need. They have a well stocked kitchen and even supply snacks. The beds were very comfortable. The yard is huge with a stream behind it with a Great fire pit. I do recommend this property and will definitely go back

You were wonderful guests! I am so glad your family had such a lovely time. We hope that you will visit Otters Way again!
Thank you for being the perfect visitors!!
Otters way was incredible. My friends and I had the best time. We also had the pleasure of meeting Cindi. She was super sweet and very accommodating. We really enjoyed our time. Thank you Cindi for an amazing mini vacation!
My family needed a well-deserved getaway, and this is the perfect location. We caught up with family living in the area. This house was designed for entertaining. Booked the next week we wanted to come but planning on returning soon for at least a weekend.
Thank you for making us feel so welcome.

About the host
Hosted by CYNTHIA D POWNALL-CORBIN
I purchased this home in 2006 to flip. Little did I know that there was an inlet of the river. We had someone do some clearing of the weeds and there was this amazing body of water, holding magic and serenity and a beauty all its own! Once we found that, I fell in love!! With the house and property and the area!! I knew this had to be "home"! My children and grandchildren and friends spent many days and nights fishing, barbequing and enjoying precious time together. When I remarried in 2011, I moved in with my husband and my youngest daughter and her son moved into Otters Way and made it their home for many years. She met her fiancé in mid 2018 and she moved to Capon Bridge as he owns the Imagimarium Tattoo Shop there. And so in late 2018 the renovation began (new roof, new HVAC, paint, furniture, etc. ). I completed the renovation in August 2019. I am so happy to be able to share this wonderful land and house with all of you! Making Memories! That is what Otters Way is all about. Making memories with family and friends. Come and experience all that Otters Way and WV have to offer!!
Why they chose this property
Otters Way is truly unique! The property features a inlet of the South Branch of the Potomac river that you can take the boat on (yes there is a boat, life jackets and paddles), fish and enjoy the abundant wildlife! (The water is NOT navigable to the river) There are otters, beavers, turtles, heron, deer, rabbits, and many, many fish!! Want to have a small family reunion someplace where people can spread out and enjoy, this is the place!! Beautiful home and land with extra large rooms (living room is 16 x 32, kitchen is 16 x 22, back deck is 16 x 16) and a private place to fish and boat! Welcome to Otters Way and WV!!
