Wonderful location close to the hikes and sight seeing spots we had on our bucket list. The house was very comfy and had everything we needed for a memorable weekend. And for an added bonus there is a great book selection here!

A Surprise Addition to A Visit

It was a very nice place. A wonderful surprise is that the original house was my Aunt Ellen house which made it that more special. Beautiful sights in Seneca Rocks and Smoke Hole Caverns is awesome.

Family getaway

It was a great stay! The hosts were super easy to contact and very friendly when answering questions. The property was exactly what we needed. A good central location, clean and accessible too. All in all a good trip. Little disappointed everything’s wasn’t quite open yet, but that’s okay, trip still did its job.

West Virginia Mountain Stay

We stayed at the Heydt Homestead over Memorial Day weekend as a base point for some adventures in the area. We stayed with my dad, father in law, and 3 year old son. This was the perfect spot with plenty of quiet around to relax and enjoy each other's company. Super close to Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob.

Seneca trip

Great location, great communication, beautiful home. Only issue was the electronic lock combo wasn’t in the checkin directions. However, a quick trip down the hill and Garrett and Isabelle responded to my message in less than 5 minutes. Highly recommended.

Perfect spot for a quick family trip

This home was perfect for what our family was looking for - a clean, comfortable base from which to explore the local area. Everything was as described in the listing and by previous reviewers. Garrett was quick to respond to questions we had. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a getaway in the West Virginia mountains.

Maple Days WV and VA

Maple Days WV and VA was going on and this was located in the center of both. Also nearby Distillery and Cider tasting rooms participated. There is no TV or cell if the WiFi is down, so be aware if you need TV which we didn't need. Open first floor made the house very roomy. Owners were very helpful.

Great Stay at a Charming Seneca Rocks Home

My family and I enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Heydt Homestead in Seneca Rocks. Garrett and Isabelle's house was just as advertised, and provided more than my family and I needed as we were there for some skiing and Canaan Valley exploration. You could tell the work they put into renovating this old farm house. With three upstairs bedrooms, it easily fit our family of four, while providing the space downstairs for play and eating.

Great Stay!

It was a little hard to find a property going by our GPS. Everything was very nice and clean. When will we arrived the air conditioners was on and it was very comfortable inside and very much appreciated. The only complaint that we had was the picture in the upstairs bathroom. Didn't feel that it was very child friendly or even an adult. Other than that we would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Thank you for the wonderful stay. Dottie Johnson

Seneca Rocks getaway

This property is clean and just what we needed for our family of 5, the only thing I would change is the sliding door to the upstairs bathroom be a little bigger to fully cover the doorway. But other than that it’s great.

Spring Break In A Unique Place

My friend and I had an amazing time in West Virginia. We wanted to visit before shipping out for basic training, and had the time and views of our life. More importantly, the Heydt Homestead was a very relaxing and nice place to return to. It’s in a great location relative to things to do and places to see, while still being secluded enough that neighbors don’t keep you up at night. The home was amazing, and we are beyond grateful we had the pleasure to stay here. Thanks! - Elijah & Brandon

Great Place!!

Well worth it! I've been traveling to these mountains for most of my life. The location is less than an hour from some of the most desirable attractions in the West Virginia Mountains. I'm on track to complete the WV Waterfall Trail. The Holy Grail was the Seneca Creek Falls. We started at Spruce Knob and hiked down to the falls and back. The cabin had everything we needed. A comfortable and quiet location with every amenity.
