Great winter weekend getaway!
We loved this cabin! Stayed for a weekend but would have loved it to have been a week here. The kitchen was equipped well and the hot tub on the deck overlooking the river was fabulous. We plan to come back this summer!

Lovely place on the water!!
It was the much needed relaxing and quiet vacation we needed. Property manager, Roxy, and her team were extremely professional and shared lots of great information about the area. Our dog ****LOVED**** it. If you are looking for takeout, we highly recommend the white pizza and eggplant rollatini from Mama Mia’s in downtown Elkins. They are authentic!

The property was great! The only thing that we didn't like was the strong iron smell and taste in the water and that the Wi-Fi password didn't work. I could not get a hold of anyone in the office when I tried to call about the password.

Anniversary get away
Nice quiet cabin. River is closer than the pictures make it seem. Nice big porch. Dog friendly with a nice dog bed. Appliances are clean and look newer. Linens were nice. I would recommend bringing your own towels and a couple throw blankets. Towels were the only thing not provided and the leather couch could be a little chilly. Town was nice and has everything needed. Overall a great experience.

Quiet location
I enjoyed my stay at this cabin. The location is wonderful. There is room for improvement. The interior walls (logs) were extremely dusty. The ceiling fan also caked with dust. Not a good environment for a dust allergy.

Had a Great Time - Loved It!
Property was very clean. A couple of comments, not problems. 1) It would help to have the wifi logon and password posted or given to the renter. 2) A channel listing for the TV would help. Also, shielded cables for the cable, tv, and router would help. There was interference with the tv signal when we talked on our cell phones, the bathroom heater kicked on,and when we made coffee.

A perfect spot!
The river! I parked my chair in it and didn't move! It was the perfect location. VERY simple, but ample for our needs. Owner PLEASE listen to your renter's and get rid of those HARD mattresses. The lady that picked up our towels was wonderful, giving us suggestions on where to find places. Thank you ,you were a doll. The gentleman that took care of the hot tub was helpful as well. He gave us some pointers too! Your Staff is awesome!

4 but not 5 stars
We had a great time and plan on going back again all though we will check to make sure the hot tub is in working order. We had a problem with ours while we were there and having the hot tub was a big reason why we had choosen the vacation spot that we did. The maintenance man that they had tried his best to fix the problems that we had but they did not have the parts on hand to do so. Like I said we loved the place and are still planning on going again.

Fantastic cabin
This cabin was a great fit for us., it was very clean. The Wi-Fi was not any good but we didn’t go to the mountains to sit on a computer the whole time. The TV was very good. Take your own water because the water does smell and doesn’t taste very good. But to me these were little things not a deal breaker. The water was a little low when we stayed, so our fishing didn’t go so great. However in our key envelope were direction for other things to do. Which was fantastic. The people were really nice that came to check on the hot tub. The best part about it was we did not have to find someone to watch our dog, she got to go have fun too. Thanks great stay and we intent to go back.
