The cabin was lovely and very clean. The problem was with the "living area" furniture. There were two rocking chairs, one of which the leg was broken and 4 child size chairs at the table. The only other sitting area was a beautifully carved but very hard and uncomfortable bench. There was a badly burned skillet and only one large pot for cooking, another smaller one would have been nice and no bowls at all. The river could barely be seen through the trees and there was no ACCESSABLE path at all from the cabin. Actually, there was a drop off. It was quiet and clean and we enjoyed the chairs for the front porch. I hope you fix these problems for the next clients.
Hi Frances, thank you for sharing your thoughts about your stay. The homeowner has read your feedback and would like to address the following:
- We are aware of the broken rocker and are in the process of replacing it. We also plan to add cushions to the bench for more comfort.
- We will be upgrading the cookware soon, adding more pots and bowls to improve the kitchen experience.
- The child-sized chairs were chosen to save space in the cabin, but we will reconsider this for future guests.
- While river access is limited for security reasons, we will explore adding steps or a small ramp to improve accessibility.
Once again, we appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve the guest experience.
Check-in went smoothly. The property manager answered us promptly and addressed all concerns. The cabin is small but beautiful. The appliances worked very well. The solar/propane systems worked seamlessly. A great wood stove, with much seasoned firewood cut to fit. The “neighborhood”? Quiet, safe, with the Allegheny Trail and Greenbriar River, and the town of Marlinton nearby for necessities. But a very dusty road. There is no access from the road to the cabin which was not mentioned in the listing. The first 12 feet down were steep for anyone over 50. We are 80 and had difficulty getting our stuff down and especially up again. Fortunately we are healthy.

We had a wonderful time, came to ride bikes and trail was just down the road from the cabin. Rode into nearby town for lunch and dinner. Cabin was well stocked and clean. Only drawback was no AC but we knew that going into the trip.

Hi Katrina, we passed your review on to the homeowner, who would like to share the following:
-The property was thoroughly cleaned by our team, and we uphold rigorous cleanliness standards. The dark patches on the knotty pine floors are a natural characteristic of the wood's aging process and are not indicative of mold.
-Regarding the keypad issue, it seems there was difficulty using it. Instead of waiting for our cleaning crew, who were en route, a screen was broken to gain access, unfortunately causing damage to the property.
-Additionally, our inspections found no evidence of spiders or other pests.
-We understand that the extreme heat on the hottest day of the year presented a challenge, particularly since there is no air conditioning in the property. We regret that they were unable to wait for the ceiling fans to provide some relief, as we believe that with a bit of time, their stay could have become more comfortable.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review!
Loved the location, very clean place.
