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.

Great Getaway for Relaxation

This was overall the best VRBO property we have stayed in. Very up to date and well stocked on everything. It made for a very relaxed stay away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Only negative was that the state and local taxes were not included in the initial booking total.

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.

Beautiful

It was a very clean and beautiful house. We had a couple issues getting there due to gps taking us on non-paved roads, but once there, we had no complaints. We eventually figured out the best route to take. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast for everyone. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and sleep comfortably. The house is located in a very quiet area.

Lovely, quiet home

Beautiful home, comfortable beds, amazing living room area for relaxing and talking. Lovely fire pit. Quite a bit off the beaten path. Neighbors aren’t the best… had a few dogs barking pretty much all hours of the day and had a lot of political signs all over their property which was… offputting. Used the creek a ton for fishing, and was a 30 min drive from some lovely state parks. Had a great time.

Scenic Serenity

The directions provided to find the house are detailed and were much appreciated. The house is beautiful. Clean. Plenty of room for everyone. The decor is warm and welcoming. The deck is awesome! Perfect for relaxing after an adventure filled day. The grandchildren enjoyed the house and the river. They enjoyed playing with the toy trucks. Nice selection of children's books for bedtime story time. Lannette was easy to communicate with. I would recommend this piece of "Heaven in a River".
