This was a very nice cottage. Great furnishings, well stocked kitchen and extra touches (muffins, coffee selection, bottled water). As mentioned by the host, the driveway is steep but manageable. Take care with parking to be able to turn around to exit.Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

This was a lovely little cottage. It was very clean and nicely decorated. There were some really nice touches such a large muffins on the table, a Keurig coffee maker with assorted coffee flavors and creamers in the fridge. There were also bottles of water in the fridge. The sheets and towels were really nice, like what you would find in a hotel. There were also little bottles of shampoo, body wash, and lotion. The owner was responsive to my questions throughout the stay. We would definitely return if we visit WV again.

Cute Cottage and Hospitable Host.
We stayed in Charleston, West Virginia while visiting family who also traveled to the area. The cottage was so cute and exactly as described. The check in process was super easy and the owner is extremely friendly and helpful. She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. An excellent selection of coffee and a plate of tasty muffins added a special touch. The weekend was rainy so we didn't get the opportunity to enjoy the grounds, but there is a nice firepit as well as hiking trails. We will definitely stay again if we are in the area.

Nice place
We truly enjoyed the property. Off the beaten path, but still close to everything we needed. The only thing I would suggest for future guests is bring house shoes! The heating grate is in the hallway and not the most comfortable thing to step on! Easy enough to step around, though. I would definitely stay again if I find myself in the Charleston area.

Very nice and relaxing property.
My husband and I just wanted to get away for the weekend and this place was perfect. It is far enough out, but also close to town so you don't have to drive a long way to get to sights and stores. The cottage was so cozy and everything was just as it says or better. The property is beautiful and very peaceful.

This property is perfect. Nancy has it stocked with everything you could ever need, fuffy towels, soft sheets, pots, and pans. It was the second time we stayed here. I didn’t want to leave. There is a lot to do in the area, hiking, shopping, restaurants all within a few minutes drive. We especially enjoyed the fire pit this time. I would go back anytime. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

My husband and I had a very peaceful stay in West Virginia. The cottage was cozy and well equipped with everything you could need while on vacation. Having coffee, cold water and delicious muffins available upon arrival was a really nice touch! Nancy and her husband were available right away when we had a very slight surprise and handled it immediately! This is a great location for a small family or a small group of friends.

Great Stay
The house and property were great...felt like home away from home. The host, Nancy, was great to work with as well and very responsive to any questions. As shown in other reviews, the downside of this property is the steep and broken driveway and is the reason for a 4-star review rather than a 5-star. The driveway is almost problematic enough where it would not be passable to a typical car...our SUV struggled on the first few tries to get up the driveway. The house was extremely comfortable and we all had great sleep.

Relaxing getaway.
For our 28th Anniversary we went to Charleston to visit our daughter who had moved there in January. We wanted a relaxing, no commitment couple of days. This cottage was the perfect spot. The decor was soothing and it is nice to have an equipped kitchen for us to bring some of our own food to cook so that we are not running all the time. It was rainy each night we were there so we didn't get to enjoy the grounds as much. But the days were dry so we still had a lot of fun in the downtown area and visited several parks. The driveway is very steep and we scraped our car some but we figured out how to angle to get up the hill without scraping. When we go back to visit our daughter we want to reserve this cottage again. It was the perfect place and size for us. Thank you Nancy for the lovely stay. You were so helpful with all the questions I had.
