Comfortable home in a beautiful area. Lots to do close by.
We had a great week of quiet relaxation and outdoor activities.
Layout of the house is perfect for family together time! Porches offer nice outdoor space and there is ample seating in the living room for lots of kids and grownups to hang together.
We had such a nice trip at Hemlock House and even had family staying at the neighbor house, Holly House! It was so nice to sit out on the porch in the morning and have coffee and listen to the birds. Love love love this house!
We stayed here to have close access to Lake MooMaw, Hot Springs, Warm Springs, and the Highland County Fair. We had a great trip and Pat was very kind. He made check in easy and helped with random questions we had. His property was pretty and in a nice location. I’d recommend his home if you were traveling as a family!
Cottage located in small town, quiet neighborhood. Very clean. Tastefully decorated. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans, dinner wear. Could us a better corkscrew. Wi-Fi is excellent, as is cable tv. Enjoyed long weekend.

Will supply a better corkscrew! A key instrument to enjoy a peaceful weekend. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

The property was nice, clean, very basic—exactly what we needed.
Two issues: the code to check in was sent via email, but did not exist anywhere in our online our reservation on VRBO, in our message history etc., which meant if the email went missing we couldn't check in. That's what happened. And because there's no cell service we had to backtrack for 10 minutes to get enough bars to call the property owner. He was busy at the time we called and didn't pick up until our fifth try. If the code was included into the reservation online this could have been avoided.
Also the beds and pillows are pretty old and worn—hard, sagging mattresses and flat lumpy pillows made for an uncomfortable night's rest. Other than that, the place was what we had hoped for.
Hemlock Cottage, tucked away in the small village of Bacova, is a joyful, high-quality place to spend time in Hot Springs and Warm Springs. The natural beauty of the region is breathtaking. You will love Hemlock Cottage as much as we do. F. West
Pat is the ultimate host. He wants you to lack for nothing. He offers access to two of his properties that are nature lovers’ dreams come true. Barn Hill Trail includes 360° mountain vistas and intimate, lush ancient, fern and rhododendron filled glacier formations next to the glorious, trout-filled Warm Springs Run. As good as the hiking is, bring your bag chairs and picnic lunch to Hal’s Point and spend hours in nature’s grandeur catching up with friends with disturbances only from a deer or two and a mother duck teaching her brood to swim upstream.
Our friends were renting the house next door so it was easy to run back and forth. The area is beautiful and our 2 mile hike on owner’s property was especially beautiful.
Will likely return
Easy access to Pat's trails so perfectly cleared and welcoming. Very generous amenity to the house!
We look forward to our return once again and to the warm welcome we receive in an immaculately kept cottage, lovely view, peace and quiet and spectacular hiking trails along the Jackson River and up the Fessisern Trail
We so enjoyed this home. There was room to spread out and the walking trails were a big hit! The owner was so pleasant to respond to our questions. We plan to return in the future!
We enjoyed a 4 night stay at the Hemlock Cottage in Bacova and had a great time. The group kept busy with all sorts of activities. We fly fished at Hal’s Point, took a walk around Barn Hill and played a couple rounds of golf at the Cascades. Look forward to our return to Bacova.
Great location - about 10 min from Homestead, which was location of wedding we were attending. Had everything we needed. The daffodils were such a treat too!
We arrived to the refrigerator not being cleaned out, but after letting Pat know, he called right away to apologize and help get everything fixed. Cleaner came by next morning to apologize as well. We appreciated this communication!
We would love to come back and stay again and figure out the beautify trails near by. Thank you Pat for a great stay!
Unfortunately the day we were planning to arrive our daughter became ill with Covid and therefore we did not travel and quarantined. Prior to this, Pat’s communication was excellent and I am confident we would’ve had a wonderful stay. Pat was very understanding and communicated that he would try to work out an alternate date that we could come stay. I am reading all five stars as I have no doubt this will be an excellent stay, however to be clear we did not actually get to take this trip. Hope to be able to visit soon as now everyone as well!
The cottage is smaller than the listing and photos make it seem, especially common areas - the square footage in the listing is probably accurate (1500 square feet). The heating, if you're staying in the winter, was variable around the house - some rooms were hot, some very cold. The inside was rustic, but in good condition in general. The house could have been cleaner when we arrived (e.g., there was a used mask under a bed), but acceptable. The wood stove/fireplace was a huge plus, making the stay comfortable and ambiance even better. The outdoor options were excellent. The owner provided access to his expansive farm and trails, and the west side of Lake Moomaw is a short car ride, quite remote, and spectacular. Great fishing spot. Restaurant options nearby are limited, as are grocery stores, especially off season, so come stocked up.
Great property. Much better than the pictures. The deck is lovely at sunset and we loved having a fire! It was great for our teenagers and dog- everyone could spread out. 18 minutes to Homestead but quick drive to my favorite restaurant- the Waterwheel. Very clean.
We spent a cozy New Year’s at Hemlock cabin. The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. We loved having easy access to Hot Springs and took several hikes on the trails in Pat’s beautiful property. Already making plans to stay again!
We had the absolute best time at Hemlock Cottage! The location was perfect, there were tons of activities to entertain everyone in our group and we had the perfect weather! Pat was a wonderful host as well!! One of the top places we have stayed for any extended length of time. Thank you, Pat!!
