Mid December Stay

A group of us came down to WV to go hunting and we stayed at the River Watch during our trip. One of the best things about the house was the large open basement to keep all of our gear. It made it nice to not have to worry if we were going to get the upstairs dirty while also saving a lot of space upstairs. The house was great and the location worked well for us.

Great getaway, every time.

Clean, cozy river house. Stayed here several times and it’s better each time. We got surprised by the Northern Lights and a meteor shower this trip. Fantastic. Good fishing, great relaxation. Highly recommend.

Peaceful, cozy home away from home on the River

We couldn’t of asked for a cozier home on our holiday getaway. The home was very clean, well stocked, and in order. I love the set up and beautiful river views and will be booking here again. So happy we got to wake up to snow. My sons did a little fishing but the river was a bit high due to melting snow. Conveniently There are small stores within 15 mins. Highly recommend for couples or family getaways. Wish we could of stayed longer :)

Great weekend get-a-way

The home has amazing views right on the river and is extremely peaceful. It’s a great retreat away from everyday busy life. This is our third year in a row staying at this property and will continue to make it an annual event. I had to contact the host during our stay and he got back to me immediately and even contacted the next door neighbor to check local conditions for us.

Will be back!

We loved River Watch! Even though we were just about all sick during our stay, I told my husband I'd rather be sick there watching the river than at home! Had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving meal and loved the views, ducks, deer and location! We've talked about returning in the summer so we can enjoy the river!

Relaxing by the river!

Beautiful location and grounds. Really enjoyed the morning coffee by the river. The property was very clean and fairly spacious. kitchen was stocked with paper towels, spices, and coffee. 35 minute drive to Canaan, Valley, and neighboring towns. Also enjoyed the chestnut festival in Rowlsburg. Furniture was a little bit dated but very functional. water pressure was a little bit low but overall a great place for a weekend getaway!
