"Loved this place! It’s a perfect option if you don’t want to pay the high price at the Homestead. You can walk to the homestead and still enjoy the restaurants and most of the features of the homestead. The staff was so sweet and we loved the hot homemade breakfast!"

"Valerie and Pat were extremely accomodating and made us feel right at home. They took the time to showcase their syrup making processes. The cabin sits right on the creek and there was a nice big field behind for exploring with our little one. Great weekend escape. Thank you two, again. "

"The motel is in good shape for an older "no frills" property. The beds were pretty comfortable, and the room was relatively clean. The area is nice with great sight-seeing and restaurant options. The man working at the front desk could use some Customer Service Skills Training. My payment card was charged for the nightly rate prior to my arrival. Once there, he said that he had to process the payment again, even after I showed him that it was already processed. He said that it was my choice if I wanted to stay there or not, but if I wanted to stay, he had to run the payment again. This resulted in a double charge. He found this amusing and laughed about the situation. He then told me to take it up with the credit card company. I contacted the owner a couple days later and she issued a refund promptly. I would suggest training the Front Desk staff in customer relations or replace him."

"We had a lovely stay at this cabin when we came to the area to visit the Green Bank Observatory and hike-- it was spacious with ample room to spread out and relax, and the host had thought of so many details that made our stay perfect (espresso machine? yes!) The house was easy to find and just a minute off the road but was secluded and quiet. The cabin sits in a clearing that offers a big fire pit out front and a huge deck out back and both are perfect for star watching. The mud room was so practical (and large) and would make a good extra room for a remote worker who needed extra quiet. The house looks brand-new but has vintage elements throughout. We enjoyed the kitchen bar and cooking area and then dinner on the deck. The bathroom was well-stocked and pristine, and the bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds.Outside, we were thrilled to find a trail marker showing us a nice walk through the woods along the ridge line. The trail leads right into the Monongahela Nat'l Forest and continued further than we followed it (since we did not have a tracking app turned on, we turned back after 30 minutes).This cabin can sleep a large group comfortably, but also makes a perfect space for a family! We had a lovely stay in the home and look forward to a return visit."

"It was wonderfully furnished with everything we needed, everything worked and it was great location. So peaceful. "

"Exceptional experience. The location was perfect, remote and quiet. The property was immaculate with everything you needed for your stay. "

"Staff was wonderful!!"

"Staff were friendly and the resort was beautiful. Small complaint would be it’s expensive."

"We had a larger group and the host was extremely helpful and responsive for all our needs. The house was in perfect condition in the perfect private location "
