Vacation stay
We had wonderful time. It was a gorgeous place to stay. Loved how it was in a wooded area away from others. The house was well kept and clean. The only inconvenience was the host would show up without any notice. Coming to check to see if we needed the trash taken or needed anything else is nice and fine but would have liked a notice that they were coming by.

Almost heaven
We stayed here to be fairly close to family for a visit, but it was so much more than just a place close by. We sat around the campfire, walked along the Buckhannon River listening to the rush of the water, walked up and down hills and listened to evening songs of the whippoorwill. It’s a curvy drive back from the highway, but that’s part of the joy. Beds were all comfortable and spacious, and Brenda was very helpful when needed as were the folks down the road when we walked. We saw deer, bear, and the usual woodland creatures.

Nice Country Setting
We enjoyed our stay. The place was spacious with plenty of room. The kitchen was fully furnished. The bedrooms were well stocked and had plenty of extra blankets. We enjoyed the fire pit, the pool table, and darts. The large wrap around covered porch was nice also.

Kick-back, relaxing get-away
Great rental property. Brenda and her husband were so kind. We were able to rent kayaks for the kids and take them on the creek. Was just what we needed to kick back and get away from our busy jobs. Wi-Fi worked great so we could stay in touch as needed with our business. The house was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay.

Brenda was a great host and the house was exactly what we were looking for. Enjoyed being so close to the river, taking strolls up the hill, and sitting out on the deck every night!

Great New Year’s Eve
We had such a great New Years weekend here! The cabin was lovely and so cozy, perfect for the rainy weather. Brenda also graciously drove us a different way out after checkout since the road in flooded, which was so nice and above and beyond!

The kids didn't want to leave!
We rented the property for three nights and it was just not enough! My kids (14&11), who usually like to watch tv, play game consoles or any other electronic they can get their hands on, actually stayed outside! They LOVED that we were able to see the river from the front deck, had so much room to ride atvs on and the all of the trophy game hanging on the walls. The cabin is spacious and cozy at the same time! The basment offered pool along with darts. Which the kids loved too. It was like a home away from home. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the cooking utensils you could need. Beautiful views! We loved it and can't wait to return!

Family getaway
We rented this property with the understanding that it was ON the water, as in walk off the deck a couple steps to get to it, which it wasn't (ad makes it sound that way. It was very comfortable, hostess very friendly and helpful. But we paid pet fees and then at check-in were told our dogs couldn't be in the bedrooms w/us - don't recall that in the ad. Place could use a little more light in some places, and should have instructions for the fireplace/wall heater to avoid confusion and having to contact the hostess. I would still recommend this place and we had a great family trip. Thanks Brenda!

Not exactly easy to get to, but we'll worth the extra effort. We went there looking for property for a retirement home, we loved Brenda's place and the small community it is in so much, we are re-evaluating what exactly we are looking for in our retirement home. Book it. You won't be aorry.
