First of all Karen is an excellent host and is very easy to communicate with, and she answers emails almost immediately. The house does sit up on a cliff above the RR and the New River, however, in Summer you cannot see the trains or the river. Maybe in early Spring or late Fall when there are no leaves on the trees the view is amazing, but in Summer, all you see is trees. The trains were not a problem as they did not run during the night. However, driving up that narrow steep road and driveway lane is an adventure! The house is old and quirky (yes, the floors are crooked!), and needs some updates, but was clean, the water is excellent tasting, and the little waterfall creek behind the house is charming. The property is on a wooded hill, so exploring is difficult, but there are many designated cleared trails in the area in NRGNP and state parks, many with waterfalls. The kitchen was adequately stocked, but could use some new items. (I'm actually sending her some essential baking and cooking tools-- measuring cups, spoons, bowls.) The washer and dryer is a plus as I hate packing dirty clothes to bring home! We sat on the front porch and on the deck/patio to relax after one day at WV Renaissance Festival and 2 days of hiking waterfall trails. The only serious problem we had was with the rental agency, not Karen, but she straightened it out to our satisfaction.

The house was clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Excellent communication from the owner.

This is a wonderful, peaceful location. The views are spectacular. The decor is whimsical and entertaining. The kitchen is well equipped. The house was very clean. The host was excellent

The owner is very friendly and helpful. The property is very quiet.
