Long weekend at Cheat Lake

Stayed at the Escape Pod while helping our son move into his apartment in Morgantown. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! The pod is such a unique, fun place to stay. Loved the attention to detail throughout. Comfy beds, great kitchen, lots of outdoor seating. The hot tub is a great extra. Will definitely stay again!

Quaint place to stay

It was a nice getaway for our 35th anniversary and the pod was very unique. A privacy wall for hot tub area from the busy road would be a nice addition. Other than the poor condition of the road leading to the property, everything was great!

Unique

This was a fun and unique place to stay at. It was all on one floor primarily so there wasn't a need to climb the spiral staircase, thankfully. The hot tub was perfect and the beds were comfy.

Amazing property in the morgantown/cheat lake area. Its well kept, has great amenities like a hot tub and close to the lake, Coopers rock park and great restaurants.

OUTSTANDING!

Great home with walls of windows and a 180° unobstructed view from the 2nd floor! The natural setting of the property in a quiet wooded setting was very peaceful and relaxing! The professional landscaping was perfect! Amenities galore. Wished we could have stayed longer. The host was very responsive and accommodating.

Perfect Escape

I loved the Escape Pod. It was a bright clean, unique space. I love the design of the house. It was perfect for a weekend away. There were cool features, such as the island drawer fridge and freezer and the fabulous spiral staircase. We had snow one day which made for a fantastic view out over the lake. The hot tub was great and one of the features we were looking for in a weekend rental. All in all a very cool space which was the perfect setting for a wonderful weekend.
