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.

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.

Warm, Inviting River Retreat

Our girlfriend get away was wonderful here at the river cottage. Nine women from five states we're surrounded by God's beauty this past weekend! The house was well stocked and comfy! The caretakers were friendly and helpful. We will be staying again. Only downside was the roads getting into the site - mainly a one car road and definitely a little intimidating if you're not used to country roads in WV.

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.

Getaway

Had a fantastic getaway in this beautiful home...made me feel like it was a home away from home...the only complaint I have is directions to get there...we lost a lot of hours from being lost :-(...other than that it was a fantastic time! The only thing that could make it any better is a hot tub!! Thank you!!!
