Family girls trip

Thank you for hosting our little family get away. We enjoyed our stay so much. As we drove around Dunbar and Charleston, we all were able to share memories from when we were here as children. We will most definitely stay in your lovely cabin on the river again.

Overall it was an quaint place to stay but the last day before leaving, there was some construction that made it a little inconvenient. The workers tried to be as quick as possible to get done. I do plan to stay there again when I visit my sister and would highly recommend this place to stay. It's easy access to Hwy 64.

Cozy riverfront spot

Great little house on the Kanawha River. Everything in the home is very well thought out. We loved the location and riverview, and the convenience to Charleston and other parts of the valley was great. Danielle is a wonderful host. We would gladly return!

This lil place is in the heart of Dunbar. It was so easy to get to and had everything we needed. My girls only complaint was that the bed in their room made noise every time they moved, otherwise the place was perfect. The host was very responsive when we had a question about the TV. There is a Kroger and an Aldi very close if you need to get some groceries. Great place, we felt very safe. We will be back and will stay here again when we return!

Beautiful river view ands quiet home. It would be great if there were things like jigsaw puzzles or games to play. Also, maybe keep some mosquito spray in the Cabinet. The mosquitoes were savages! But overall, it has been the best place weve stayed!.

Beautiful Rental

We were very happy with this rental property. It was beautiful and right on the river. The atmosphere outside was so peaceful. The inside was perfect for what we needed. There were so many extra amenities that made it even more inviting. The owner was very easy to get in touch with and very pleasant to talk with. We felt safe and at home. We will definitely stay here again when we're back in the area.

Nothing is far to get to. CVS is very close to grab snacks or items forgotten. Lovely property where host provides everything you might need. Easy to keep tidy. Appliances are new and function well. Did not use oven. Host has made was visiting friends so didn’t explore the attractions but near main roads so it seems it would be easy to get to anything. Capital Market is not far for fresh, reasonably prices groceries, terrific little cheese and wine shop. You can find many items made in WV. Fabulous meat market too. Proprietors are friendly and very helpful Soho restaurant has delicious fair. Soup and pizza is wonderful. Many suggestions for activities provided by thoughtful hope. I found it so relaxing to be by the river and read. Host is responsive, friendly and helpful. Will certainly book here again when I come to town, looking forward to it.
