Great House

Start with the not positive, the house is located in a valley so winter weather made the roads not so great. The freezer could have been cleaner and lack of local stations made following weather and watching football games tough. The internet is not great.... Other than that, our stay was absolutely amazing! The house was perfect for our needs, warm, loved being on the river, and comfy couches. The little touches took it over the top. Plenty of blankets and seating. The house was very warm! We would definitely stay again, would like to be there in the summer also.

Scenic Serenity

The directions provided to find the house are detailed and were much appreciated. The house is beautiful. Clean. Plenty of room for everyone. The decor is warm and welcoming. The deck is awesome! Perfect for relaxing after an adventure filled day. The grandchildren enjoyed the house and the river. They enjoyed playing with the toy trucks. Nice selection of children's books for bedtime story time. Lannette was easy to communicate with. I would recommend this piece of "Heaven in a River".

Beautiful home and property

Me, my husband, and our 3 teenagers stayed here and absolutely loved this property! The house is beautiful, spacious, and equipped with everything you could need! The Kitchen is well stocked and even had basic cooking pantry supplies like salt, pepper, sugar etc. The huge deck out back is perfect for relaxing and listening to the birds chirp or watching the kids play in the river and eating meals at the large outdoor dining set. The river out back is stunning and the fishing is great. We caught many bass and trout during our stay. WiFi was great which was good to load our maps/GPS bedore we went out exploring the area. We visited the nearby city of buckhannon which was about a 30 minute drive and has anything you would need like fast food, gas stations, grocery stores etc. We also visited nearby Audra state park and it was a beautiful place with trails to hike and a nice place to swim in the river. The owners are very responsive and helpful if you need them, we would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful time and really appreciate how clean and organized the home was. We were looking forward to the train, which never passed through. I highly recommend this property, wonderful, remodeling, easy check-in, and beautiful, relaxing location. The owners communicated clearly and available if needed.

Beautiful home!

We enjoyed our stay. This home was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed. I was very impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked (waffle iron, crock pot and every utensil you will need) We absolutely loved the location. Mother nature decided to be a little crazy and we had everything from snow, extremely high winds and lots of rain. The owners were so helpful when we lost power. It was nice meeting Lanette and George. If you have an issue I promise they will quickly help. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Wonderful weekend in West Virginia

The home was updated and clean. The fishing was great. The scenery was very pretty. It's off the beaten path and the neighbors are a little intimidating, but they were as kind and welcoming as the property owners. I highly recommend this home for an off the grid getaway.

First visit to West Virginia

Pro: New/ just remodel house, spacious, well stock with kitchen appliances and utensils. Table pGames for children, wifi was great and tv services. Calm relaxing neighborhood and river view. Mattresses were comfortable enough. Nice hiking scenery around train tracks and view of wild life. Cons: Asian beetles alive and death in the upper rooms, we clean them the first night we got in the house, but they keep getting into the bedrooms and we have to pick them out of the beds, no cool. House it is really nice, minus the bugs.

Beautiful

It was a very clean and beautiful house. We had a couple issues getting there due to gps taking us on non-paved roads, but once there, we had no complaints. We eventually figured out the best route to take. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast for everyone. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and sleep comfortably. The house is located in a very quiet area.

A peaceful place

It was a very nice place to stay. Right on the river and the only traffic is the train, which my kids where thrilled over! I use sound machines for my 3 toddlers so I didn’t worry when the trains came through overnight. Worked perfectly! Very friendly neighbors also, kiddos and I took a walk and chatted with them! We came in for family visits in Buckhannon and gun season, and this location was perfect! Very clean beds, well stocked house. We didn’t need half of what we packed to function and cook in that house all week! Plenty of space and huge bedrooms, we only wished the table was a bit bigger. We had 5 kids and 5 adults in our party, and the table wasn’t big enough for all of us to sit together.

Our experience at Heaven on a River was amazing. It was the weekend get away that we needed. It was a very peaceful spot with plenty of places to hike. The house itself was very clean and all the daily life essentials were provided. Thank you to Lannette and George for letting us enjoy your terrific property.

Great Getaway for Relaxation

This was overall the best VRBO property we have stayed in. Very up to date and well stocked on everything. It made for a very relaxed stay away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Only negative was that the state and local taxes were not included in the initial booking total.

Lovely, quiet home

Beautiful home, comfortable beds, amazing living room area for relaxing and talking. Lovely fire pit. Quite a bit off the beaten path. Neighbors aren’t the best… had a few dogs barking pretty much all hours of the day and had a lot of political signs all over their property which was… offputting. Used the creek a ton for fishing, and was a 30 min drive from some lovely state parks. Had a great time.
