Cowen (8)

This little piece of heaven was tucked far deep in the National Forest. The surroundings were peaceful & beautiful. The neighbor Pam is very nice & was very helpful when we were looking for directions to places we were looking to venture. The home itself was small, yet comfortable & cozy. It allowed us to bond even closer as a family. We did have some cell phone service, you just have to walk around to find the hot spot. Williams River was dry during our visit, so we went to "Big Ditch Lake", my husband caught a really nice Large Mouth Bass. It is a beautiful lake to visit and enjoy a picnic. Places to see: Falls of Hills Creek (a must see), Summersville Lake - the lake was so clear you can see the bottom. We went kyacking & the girls learned how to Paddle Board - to which they enjoy. We had ourselves a picnic there as well. We also went & saw "New River Gorge Bridge", that was a nice visit. We also enjoyed "Photo Day", we took the girls down Williams River and took lots of pictures until they saw one of WV biggest spiders, and that ended the photo shoot. We saw a bear the 2nd day crossing the road, that was my excitement. We enjoyed 2 nights of campfires. To keep ourselves creative, we did lots of Arts & Crafts. Made stepping stones & impressions of leaves, painted river rocks with scenery, made terriaums (fairy plants & cactus), did some wood burning into some flat pieces of wood we brought. Overall, we had a very wonderful time, and mother nature was working in our favor. We made the best, with what we were provided. The accomodations - there was everything you needed, and if we didn't have it, we didn't need it. You couldn't ask for anything more or less of this little piece of heaven that David & Dona had shared with us. Therefore, we wish to thank you for all you have provided, and answers to all our questions & needs...........I would deffinately reccomend this rental to all who has an open mind, a willing to adventure, and one who is creative at heart..oh, and for those who need to kick back and just relax....a must in the hot tub. The girls enjoyed the Jacuzzi! *One thing that you must keep in mind, no matter where you venture, make it a day venture - as it takes about an hour to hour and a half to get anywhere - remember you are in the middle of NOWHERE!; and thats where this little piece of heaven sits!
