Rustic Cabin minutes from New River Gorge National Park and downtown Oak Hill.

We were late arriving at the property. Check in is at 4 we got there at 5 and a person was coming out of the cabin. Host said it was the "housekeeper" bringing over clean washcloths. I thought ok, towels and washcloths should have been in cabin (2 washcloths, 3 hand towels and 1 bath towel!) but when I opened the door the musty smell was overwhelming. You couldn't open the windows because of the age of the cabin. The smell comes from the nasty filter in the portable ac unit that sits inside the front door. I swiped the filter one time with a paper towel, and it was dirty with dust and hair. To say the cabin has ac is an understatement, the bedroom def does not. Thank God for the ceiling fan. There is an outside light attached to the garage that never goes off. Pretty sure the light can be seen from space. The bedroom window faces that way. There are no blinds on the window. Oh, I always like a good mop bucket in my bedroom! What really worried me is that you can't take a shower and use the stove at the same time which is an obvious electrical issue. THERE ARE NO SMOKE DETECTORS IN A 200 YEAR OLD WOODEN HOUSE! Sure all the reviews say the cabin is "cozy"......that is about all will give it!

A quiet cabin away! This lovely cabin has all the comforts while maintaining the historic feel. We chose here to get away from crowds and it delivered!

Sweet place, quiet neighborhood, helpful host When we first drove up, we were a little leery since the yard needed TLC. When we stepped into the house it was clear that the great reviews and ratings were well warranted. The place is very clean and comfortable. The owners have done a great job of maintaining the house's old feel while adding the modern conveniences we take for granted.
