Way off the beaten path

Location for the home was a blessing and a chore. On the one hand there was wildlife (an elusive black bear!) and amazing trails. On the other it took 20 minutes on narrow, partially paved back roads to get there from the main road (19 into Fayetteville). From there you could get anywhere easily. House is very nice and spacious with a beautiful common area. Cleaners might want to inspect dishes better. It seems trusting to me to count on outgoing guests to clean dishes for the next group. Not sure if we would pick again, but we rarely repeat. Definitely no regrets.

Wild and Wonderful

Our 5 day stay in the Vandalia cabin was absolutely wonderful. My husband and I were looking for seclusion and relaxation for our Anniversary. Well we got exactly that during our stay. We couldn’t get enough of the views from the back porch or from the picturesque hicking trails. Pervis was a great host and was super responsive to any and all of our questions. We can not wait to go back to the wild and wonderful state of West Virgina and the Vandalia cabin. Till next time.

Almost Heaven - Peace in the Mountains

Our group stayed in this beautiful cabin in the mid-summer 2024. Everyone enjoyed our experience very much - saying it was one of the best vacations ever. A few steps from the cabin and you are in the woods on well-marked trails. It is a bit of a drive from the main route 19. However, it is a beautiful WV setting and is a place we plan to visit again.

Beautiful cabin

One of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had! This cabin is spotless and the decor and attention to detail is unmatched. The kitchen is stocked with beautiful Fiesta dinnerware. The drawers and cabinets are stuffed with every small appliance and utensil you will need. The kitchen sink is huge and beautiful. The bedrooms are spacious and beds are comfortable. The master bathroom has a huge walk-in shower that we all enjoyed. The loft with two small beds was perfect for our 12 year old granddaughter. Complete with 2 fans. She felt as special as she is. The futons in the loft were a hit with our grand sons. The views were just gorgeous and we all enjoyed the covered porch. The huge dining table was perfect for playing games, meals, and birthday celebration for our son! This property is spotless. Wooden floors were easy to sweep. The hot tub was the cleanest I’ve ever seen and we enjoyed it. Directions to the cabin were clear and check in was a breeze. Great communication with the host. We will come back.

Family Vacation

Just a lovely property and attentive staff. We had a slight hiccup with one of the AC units and the staff arrived that hour with 2 window units. This issue was resolved within 24 hrs. Really lovely trails right on property!!!!!!!!! All the rafting and restaurants are relatively close and within 20 min drive. It is NOT crowded like smokey mountain national park. You can travel easily. It is beautiful as well!

Cabin in the Woods with Family

My family chose this location because it was close to really excellent whitewater rafting and hiking. First impression was that the house was slightly misrepresented with how many bedrooms/sleeping spaces there were, as one room was completely open so there was no privacy for one of the couples. Many of the beds were uncomfortable - we had to put one of the cot mattresses under the futon mattress so the people on that bed could be protected from feeling every single slat in the futon frame. I'd like to let the light sleepers know that if you are in the main floor master bedroom or in the loft, you will hear every sound in the house. The location is deep in the middle of nowhere down a very long single-lane road with lots of pretty nature trails and hiking nearby. The kitchen worked out very well for our group, with decent fridge space, cabinet space, and oven/stove usage. It was a very nice house overall. Some things could use some tlc (like the shower in the downstairs bedroom had a broken part.) The stairs to the second level were a bit tricky and dangerous, especially in the dark. 3 different people (ages 11, 41, and 70) fell down them at different times so we added a lamp at the bottom of the stairs so we wouldn't have to turn on the lights disturb anyone sleeping in the loft just to use the stairs. The 11-year old also slipped and fell in the upstairs shower, so I would advise to be extra careful with young kids or older people here. The hot tub and fire pit were nice to have available, and there was a good sized area outdoors to play some badminton. The owner responded with our needs for more gas for the grill when it was needed. Overall it was a good place to stay with our group of 12 humans and 3 dogs.

Our experience

My wife tripped on the steps when we first arrived. we came after sunset, thus I would propose installing lights to the stairwell. Apart from that incident, we had plenty of room for our group of seven. The cabin was warm and inviting, with a spectacular view of the woods from the living room window. Overall, the house was in decent condition and was clean.

Beautiful spot in the woods

Stayed here for a weekend getaway with 6 others and we had a great time. The house was beautiful with a lot of very nice features throughout. Very nice kitchen and bathrooms with good water pressure. Everything was very clean in the house and it was stocked up very well with linens and utensils and all of that. Everyone said the beds were comfortable. Outside was very nice as well. We had a very nice walk out to an overlook and also walked around down to the river which was also really cool. I would certainly recommend to others looking for a nice group getaway in the woods. Come with all food and drinks and don't even have to leave! Even though we didn't run into any issues during our stay, it seemed like communication with the host was very easy. Would come again.

The Cinnamon experience

If your seeking solitude this is your place. We truly enjoyed our family with just us- no neighbors. We had a surprise guide- an adorable little brown dog we named cinnamon! Obviously was owners pet- he went with us on our 2 1/2 hour hike and if we went down a trail we shouldn’t be going on he wouldn’t follow us, would sit there waiting until we came back, then took us the right way! Would recommend to others definitely but would suggest a sign at the very beginning of the property with each cabin name and an arrow. In the dark it’s tough to find. Thanks for our family experience, grandchildren loved the hot tub!

Great Family Reunion

Great location, views, and trails to hike. Really a hidden jem in the woods. Our group spent a lot of time at the home and really got to enjoy the property including the hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked for large family meals. We found everything we needed except a pizza cutter (Three cheese graters and no pizza cutter??) We were able to comfortably able to sleep two families (10 total). There are plenty of places to sleep in real beds, but any more than 10 may be pushing it with the bathrooms…but we had three teens. Look forward to another visit.

Multiple state parks nearby, as well as the New River Gorge National Park. There is so much to do and everything is beautiful! The property has multiple hikes for all ages. You can spend days doing these hikes and continue to find new and exciting areas(set way points on GPS to help). We also saw turkeys, pheasants, deer and woodpeckers; some right from the porch! The house was clean and easily slept 5 adults and 4 children. This was a great place and we hope to go again.

Great family vacation in the woods

What a great house for a family vacation with the kids, grandparents, and even our dogs. Everyone loved it! Super comfy house, amazing hiking trails all to ourselves and so much history. Grandpa could sit on the deck and take in the action and a beautiful view while the dogs ran around and the grandkids got to hike. Loved it and would love to come back someday.
