Gorgeous house in secluded location

Really nice house exactly as described. Beautiful deck overlooking the river with osprey and eagles soaring around. Everything was comfortable and just as described. It was a bit of a drive to get back to “civilization” but really nothing was out of reach. Loved our stay and would come back if the opportunity presents itself!

Beautiful House in a Beautiful Setting

We are six senior kayakers who enjoyed three nights in this spacious, modern house on the Buckhannon River. This is a great choice if you are looking for a beautiful river view, listening to several species of birds, and don't mind the remote location. Not sure when the train runs, but we didn't hear it.

Our family stayed at this beautiful home the first week of August. There are so many wonderful things about this place and we made amazing memories. The home is spacious for the 10 of us. Supper on the back deck every night was perfect. The scenery is beautiful. We fished and swam in the river every day. Having the small Sandy spot to enter the river was perfect for the little kids. We enjoyed the big inner tubes the home had ready for us to use. Floating over the blue hole was very relaxing. We never heard or saw the train once the whole week we were there. (Though garbage pick up at 6:30 AM on Monday morning was loud and startled us) The last 25 minutes from Buckhannon to the rental is very, very curvy and hilly. Absolutely beautiful, but you may get a queasy tummy if you go too fast lol. But once you’re at this home, the views are stunning and peaceful, and worth it.The beds were very comfortable, they had lots of beach towels, the grandkids loved the toys that were already in the closet. We took a day trip to the marina at Stonewall resort. They have boat rentals for the day. About an hour drive but very worth it. The back deck is huge with comfortable sitting chairs, as well as beautiful table and chairs. Perfect for naps, games, eating, and relaxing. We saw a bald eagle, lots of deer, geese, ducks, fish and even a snake. Lots of wildlife!Overall, this was a wonderful vacation rental home. Definitely worth coming back too.

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.

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.

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.
