Other than spotty internet, everything was fantastic. But i think that's the point of a getaway... get away from your computer and devices. Thank you for making our stay special. My 4 year old kept saying he wanted to go back to the mountain house! So you had a happy camper.

This is a small cabin in a quiet area of West Virginia with a beautiful river. The back deck overlooks the river. There is a nice area for a fire and the sound of the river is delightful.
