Also, we are located between The Homestead and The Greenbrier, two wonderful resorts. The Jefferson pools (which is a 30 minute drive) are wonderful for soaking in natural warm water.Let’s not forget our wonderful waterfall and the Humpback Bridge only a short drive away. You can enjoy grilling on the wonderful back porch or relax in the gazebo and enjoy the picturesque views in every direction.

Beautiful mountain views

My daughter and I chose this rental over others due to its location near the hiking trails and river. Pam and Gary were excellent hosts and were very accomidating. The views of the mountains from the back porch were breathtaking. The house was well equipped and comfortable for all our needs. We would love to come back in the fall to see the foliage, I'll bet it is gorgeous!

3 friends and I came for a quiet getaway for Labor Day Weekend, and our stay was nothing short of fantastic. Gary and Pam both came to greet us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed/wanted. They shared their personal phone numbers, and helped us greatly when we were in a pickle with navigating to a lake area to swim!! The house was extremely cozy, had ample kitchenware/appliances, the neighbors were friendly, and the backyard view was breathtaking. It was only a short walk to the river and short drive to the lake. We can't wait to stay here again some day.

River, just a few minutes walk away from the home
The lake- only around a 15 min drive!

Everything was perfect. I've never seen a VRBO rental that was so thoughtfully and completely appointed. There was seemingly no detail, no matter how small, that escaped Gary and Pamela's attention. For example, they supplied umbrellas and a first aid kit (not that we needed it). We regularly rent via VRBO and I can say without exaggeration, I've never seen hosts that sought to think of everything a guest might need and still seek feedback on how to improve further! Great experience!

Close to Jackson River and Trail

We only stayed one night but the home served us well. We hiked and bike, so home's proximity to Jackson River Scenic Trail and Lake Moomaw was very convenient. House was a modest ranch style. Kitchen was well stocked. Water smelled of sulfur, but owners said it had been tested and was deemed potable. Setting of home was rural and pretty, ensuring lovely views from the outside deck and gazebo.

We have our own well since public water isn't available. The water has been tested. The test showed positive for iron, which is safe. This is common for this rural area.

Location bike, hike, kayaking, lake

Great location and home. Host(s) are the best. We got in a kayak trip several bike rides -dip and swim in the local lake. Lots of wildlife. Saw a baby deer, a fox some turkeys an eagle. Deer like crazy at the property. Location is the best. Out in the country near all kinds of fun activities. Very clean and maintained home. Can’t say enough good things. We plan on going back in a month or so. Got to try fly fishing!!!Had so much fun that we forgot to do pictures!! So just a few.

Peacefully Perfect

My friends and I were looking for a place where we could meet halfway (I live in NC and they live in PA) for a quick girls getaway. We chose Pam & Gary’s country cottage and we picked right. The views were absolutely beautiful. We walked the gorgeous trail that was nearby and visited the Falling Springs Waterfalls… which I have to say was majestic. Pam and Gary were the perfect hosts. Made us feel so welcomed and suggested things to do in the area and places to eat. I can’t say enough kind things about our hosts. The kindest people. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Definitely will stay again.

Nice getaway

The house is very clean and well stocked. Fully equipped kitchen, extra pillows, towels, sheets, etc. First aid kit, & hairdryer. Grill is charcoal (thank goodness). The view was great. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. These hosts really care about their guests and home. They live next door and are very quick to respond and friendly 🙂 We stayed around the 4th of July and were able to watch fireworks from the deck. Saw several deer each day along with turkey and rabbits. Overall a very pleasant trip!

Danielle, we hope that y’all can return again soon. I bet the trout that was caught was delicious! I would have loved to see him catching them. We really appreciate the house being left so nice. We also enjoyed meeting and talking to your family. Be careful with those alligators! 😬 Take care, Pam & Gary
