We've stayed at Pappies Place several times for a regular climbing trip to Reed's Creek and Smoke Hole. It's a fantastic location for access to climbing and Franklin. Pappies Place is clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. Danita is a wonderful host.

This was our fourth time staying at Pappies Place for a climbing trip to Reed's Creek/Smoke Hole and, as always, it was stellar. It's a well appointed and clean home, the beds are very comfortable and the house couldn't be closer to the Reed's Creek parking lot.

Your home was a perfect getaway for my family to stay for our annual hunting trip. We appreciate all of the amenities you provided such as linens, home made jams, coffee and filters and even coffee K- cups. Your home was clean and very comfortable and welcoming. Thank you for providing us a perfect home that we hope to return to annually.

This was the third time that we stayed here while climbing at Reed’s Creek (it is literally around the corner from the climber’s parking lot). The house is clean and well appointed. Highly recommended.

We had a great weekend. Everything was as expected and then some. Danita was easy to get a hold of & left local maple syrup & jam for us! The house was large and cozy for everyone. Everything was there from pots and pans to extra pillows. 5 stars all the way!

This house was wonderful and had so many cozy touches that made it feel like a real home. We were able to work out a discount that allowed me and my friends to go up for a long weekend and it ended up being over a winter cold snap! Temps were down to the single digits but the house was so warm, cozy, and already had a shovel and salt for the driveway. Our dogs loved resting in the sunroom with us and the few places we went to in neighboring towns were lovely. The TV apps don’t always work/crash but we think that is because they need to be updated :) The host was quickly responsive and kind, there were honeys and jellies set out for us when we arrived, and there were so many amazing BLANKETS and games in the house. We also made full use of the kitchen and cooked most of our meals. Bring olive oil or tea bags if you want your own, but otherwise there were tons of spices and coffee and condiments. We loved it and would easily return!

We came to attend a niece's wedding in Franklin. Our stay at Pappy's Place was just perfect. Lots of room, beautifully decorated, plenty of hot water, easy to find, beds were super comfy. WE loved the big dining room as we had family over for a big breakfast. Just loved the house and the decor.

Loved the house and amenities. In the heart of trout fishing mecca for WV. Only drawback was the headlights all night coming through the window due to the house being in a sharp turn. Otherwise our stay was wonderful.
