Charming, remodeled farmhouse on the river to kayak with a hot tub & a firepit!!
A slice of heaven with this completely custom farmhouse mixed with its original charm. Whether you want to spend time in the river kayaking, tubing, fishing or just plain floating with your cocktail in hand, this place is on the river and equipped with all these fun options. If you'd prefer more land-based fun go hiking, pick wildflowers, hang out by the bonfire or relax in the hot tub overlooking the river.
The location was great! Right down the road is Alum State Park with the absolute best swimming spot for kids & adults alike! House had all the accommodations one would need. The internet was very spotty (due to Frontier, not the home equipment) so be prepared there if any work responsibilities. Cell phone signal was found up the road. The only thing to note is that it is a pretty steep hill to get down to the river with the kayaks and to pull them back up.
This rental is listed that it sleeps 16 but renter beware that they will charge you an âadditional personâ fee for each person over a party of 6. When I asked for an explanation I was told that VRBO allows them to charge fees behind the scene and basically there wasnât anything we could do about the extra charges. The house was the dirtiest rental that we have ever stayed in. I took numerous pictures to document the dirty, sticky floors, the visible mold & mildew in bathrooms, toilets were not clean, washer was filled with mold & grime, refrigerator/freezer had dirt & spilled food on both the inside & outside. The outside shower was not operable but was much cleaner than the inside bathrooms.
This is a spacious home set up for families. Lots of space even if the weather doesn't cooperate. There are many games for kids and adults, good wifi connection, description matches. We enjoyed playing in the field, using the fire pit and collecting eggs from the chickens. Audra Park was nearby for swimming with younger children. Unfortunately, the river was in flood stage so we didn't use the kayaks or floats. Beds are comfy. Plenty of kitchen equipment. Highly recommend.
From the moment we arrived and saw the farmhouse fully decorated for Christmas we knew our stay would be amazing. Our family had a great holiday week. We were able to visit nearby friends and family, enjoy some time in the hot tub, and took a trip to the sled run at Blackwater Falls. The property has everything you need and the hosts were so kind. The weather cooperated for us to take a walk around the farm and gather fresh eggs from the coop. Already shared with family for them to book a stay and will be looking ahead for when we can schedule our next visit.
The farmhouse is a great place to hangout and getaway from everyday life plenty of fun activities and very peaceful environment all the amenities are great!
Very nice, quiet property. The dogs had a blast running in the field and woods. River level was extremely low, unable to fish or kayak. Relaxing nights, star gazing and sitting next to the fire pit. Great place to wind down and catch up with friends and family
This quaint farmhouse is exactly what I needed for a family getaway. The kayaks and trails allowed my more active family members to be entertained along the miles of river. The others just spent their time on the porch/hot tub. Beds were very comfortable. The old house has its quirks of squeaks and pops, also with limited cell phone service. Rest assured the wifi is good and there is a house phone available. Will definitely. Consider to rent again.
The house has all modern conveniences. Beds were all very comfortable. Use of kayaks and float tubes on the creek was a big plus. The property is lovely and well-maintained. We love hiking at Audra Park and being so close to the park was a big draw.
The property was as advertised. It was very clean and had a homey decor. There were ample amenities, there wasnât anything lacking that we needed Our dogs loved the acreage. Access to the river was very nice, however, when we were there, it was quite low making kayaking impossible. We were still able to sit on the tubes and have fun in the water. We ventured to Audra State Park and thoroughly enjoyed the waterhole for swimming. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
The six of us were only here for a few days in the winter, but we loved the house and property. We will definitely keep it in mind for gathering in the summer.
Property was beautifully maintained! Picturesque surroundings and private. Lots to do. The owners have really set things up to maximize taking advantage of the property. Highly recommended!
We didn't want to leave.
Spot on for enjoying the outdoors and enjoying time with friends and family. The host were helpful in every way. They go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable.
We had a great stay. Plenty of room for 5 adults and 4 children. The hot tub and outdoor shower were a big hit and the upstairs bath was amazing. The day was spent on the river with kayaks. The kids loved fishing in the pond and we spent the evenings around the firepit making smores. The property manager dropped off veggies from his garden.Highly recommend.
We had the best time at the Farmhouse. So many activities for the whole family. We had two seven year old children on our trip and they had so much fun .The house was clean and well stocked with everything we would possibly need. So many extra little touches to make us feel welcomed. The hosts are so thoughtful and responsive. One of our best vacations.
Beautiful getaway in the nature. We really enjoyed kayaking and floating down on the river and the fire pit for the evening. Down side the place was not super clean when we got there. Lots of bugs on the ground. BBQ tools were dirty in BBQ. No propane for BBQ and then it was leaking but the property manager was great and fixed it real fast. Another downside was the hot tub was not working. For the $$$ you would expect everything to be working and really clean. But I still give it a 4 for the location on the river and peacefulness of the place. Would go back for sure.
My family and I needed a little rest and recharge after a busy 1st quarter and this house was great. We enjoyed the hot tub and the house was well appointed and beautifully decorated. It was also the cleanest vacation rental we have stayed at in probably 5 years (so maybe 20 houses). The views were calming and we enjoyed the firepit. Only downside is the weather didnât cooperate with our outdoor activities and this part of WV didnât seem to have a whole lot else. But we enjoyed the home and each others company!
This place is quiet and comfortable with so many amenities on site. The kids loved the hot tub and toys in the shed. Mom and I loved setting on the porch watching the geese flying and splashing around.
Well worth the drive to have dinner at "Smoke on the Water" while visiting the area,
It was absolutely amazing. Area was great! Adults and children had a wonderful time, playing games, working puzzles and walking the property. After playing in the snow, they were able to come in and sit by the fire and warm up. Mark was so helpful. A must to visit.
This place was perfect for my group of friends and I to ring in the new year! Plenty of space to spread out and the owners were very responsive to any questions I had. I would absolutely come back and recommend it!
