About the host
Hosted by CYNTHIA D POWNALL-CORBIN
I purchased this home in 2006 to flip. Little did I know that there was an inlet of the river. We had someone do some clearing of the weeds and there was this amazing body of water, holding magic and serenity and a beauty all its own! Once we found that, I fell in love!! With the house and property and the area!! I knew this had to be "home"! My children and grandchildren and friends spent many days and nights fishing, barbequing and enjoying precious time together. When I remarried in 2011, I moved in with my husband and my youngest daughter and her son moved into Otters Way and made it their home for many years. She met her fiancé in mid 2018 and she moved to Capon Bridge as he owns the Imagimarium Tattoo Shop there. And so in late 2018 the renovation began (new roof, new HVAC, paint, furniture, etc. ). I completed the renovation in August 2019. I am so happy to be able to share this wonderful land and house with all of you! Making Memories! That is what Otters Way is all about. Making memories with family and friends. Come and experience all that Otters Way and WV have to offer!!
