Great location and views for river tubing.

Great place to stay on the river with great views and close to West Jefferson. Hot tub was a plus and the game room was nice. Spent more time in the river tubing and in the downtown west Jefferson for dinners and shopping. The house was not as clean as I thought it would be. Floors and under tables and corners of rooms were dirty. We had to wash sheets as they all looked dirty and in the bunk beds was a Smirnoff Ice behind the pillow. The sheets looked much better after washing. Then hot tub had sand in it when we uncovered but overall nice hot tub and great location of it. Grass needed cut so you could enjoy more of the outdoor area between home and river. Definitely worth tubing the river but this home was pricey for the cleanliness of it.

Disliked: Location

This property is located on a busy highway with a very short driveway. If you're bringing pets, they would need to stay leashed for safety. Also not shown in the pictures are three rustic camp sights next to the property, significantly diminishing any sense of privacy for all parties. Everything at the property was operational (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) except the vacuum cleaner. However, the state of the kitchen was surprising. The interior of the oven was dirty, drawers were stuffed full of utensils and junk, and I felt like I had to wash everything before using it. We own a vacation rental that is deep cleaned and organized at least annually. It did not feel like something similar was done at this house. The grass had not been mowed in what looked like three to four weeks causing concerns about ticks, snakes, and stepping in holes when attempting to walk down to the river, which I did. Although we brought this to the management company's attention, this was not remedied during our stay and made the yard impossible to enjoy.For the price, I wish I had paid closer attention to the previously published negative reviews.

Thanksgiving Trip

We enjoyed our stay! Location was great! Only complaint was bunk bed room.. it was really hard to open and close doors, had to be done from the inside to open, as bunk beds block door. We had 11 year olds staying in there so it was okay, but just warning for those with younger children. Would definitely stay here again!

But when we got there the lot beside of the house had a mini camping area that was not in the description.When your on the porch or in the hot tub, you have people almost in the back yard. I have to say the campers were really quiet.

Great Place to stay and fish on the New River

House was older and had an old smell to it. For use on the River it was perfect as we were not in the house for long periods of time. Location was great. Great wade fishing opportunity up and down the river in knee/waist high water. Caught 15 fish in 2 hours the afternoon we arrived.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was as advertised. We enjoyed the hottub, firepit. Kitchen was well stocked. House was clean other than cigarettes butt's around the perimeter. We only had one gripe. When the ammeties say grill we believed either a deck gril propane(either connected or bring own can.We were disappointed that it was basically a park type grill outside the home area. We cooked on it but we were not happy with description.
