We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this cabin.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this cabin. Large enough for everyone but still private and warm. It is close enough to tourist areas yet far enough away to just enjoy the mountain air. There was plenty of room for everyone to have privacy and downtime but the living and dining areas were large enough for everyone to group. The kitchen was very well stocked. The staff at Mountaintop was very friendly and helpful.

Thank you for a wonderful stay and a beautiful rental property.
Thank you for a wonderful stay and a beautiful rental property. It met all of our expectations and more. We were truly happy with our girls trip getaway weekend and look forward to visiting again soon! The open floor plan was awesome. We loved having four big bedrooms each with individual bathrooms. The scenery was beautiful and the hot tub was a great bonus! Everyone was very friendly and answered all questions we had before during and after our stay

The wrap around deck was nice since you could always find a place that was in the shade.
The wrap around deck was nice since you could always find a place that was in the shade. This was very helpful since we had our young grandchildren with us. They love to be outside and having shade on the deck and in the yard was great. Any questions that we had either by phone or email were answered promptly.
The property was spacious, bright, and well-equipped with kitchen utensils. The parking area was sufficient for multiple vehicles and the location and access road were good. The beds and furniture were comfortable. There is some deferred maintenance that should be addressed (peeling ceiling, dirty bathroom ventilation, etc) but nothing major.

The house was great - really liked that each bedroom had it's own bath.
The house was great - really liked that each bedroom had it's own bath. The outside area, large yard was excellent. We had some great discussions around the fire pit each night as well as games of badminton, Frisbee and freeze tag. We are a family that cooks family meals - the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Your people were fantastic. We called about the hot tub and it was taken care of the next day. The gentleman that came was very courteous and friendly. Office stay were also very welcoming and friendly.

Most of the dishes were dirty.
Most of the dishes were dirty. Maybe the dishwasher isn’t super efficient, but I cleaned everything before using it. I also think the jacuzzi tub could use a good cleaning. When I turned the jets on, a ton of dirt came out.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed the location and the cabin. It was beautiful and I’d stay there again sometime!

We loved the cabin but I did have a couple of issues to discuss.
We loved the cabin but I did have a couple of issues to discuss. First, the $50 non-refundable damage insurance fee was not listed on the “additional fees” section on homeaway.com (where I booked). I think that should be added so others aren’t confronted with fees they weren’t expecting.
Our cabin was very well cleaned (beds, toilets, etc). But the issue was that it smelled heavily of cats and that bothered multiple people in our groups allergies.
Overall, we loved the cabin. But sadly could never return based on the allergic reactions. Everything was smooth

This was our second stay at this property.
This was our second stay at this property. We plan on staying again. It is close to town and to Canaan Valley. It is nice to have a convenience store two minutes away so you do not need to drive into town if you need something. We appreciate that each bedroom has its own bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with basic pantry items as well as most pots, pans, utensils and just about anything you would need to make a meal. There are plenty of plates and silverware so we only had to run the dishwasher every other day.
Overall the house was really clean- the kitchen, the bathrooms.
The big yard is great. The big windows are great. We really like the skier entry. We crate our dogs in there if they do not go with us. We did not build a fire this time, but we appreciate that there is always ample firewood stocked.
We have really enjoyed our stays here. We hope to stay again sooner than later. Your team members were very easy to work with. They made sure I had everything I needed. Check in and check out were easy.
