Great Home
I'm a little late with this review. We stayed at the end of August and it was the perfect central spot for all the areas of West Virginia we wanted to explore. The has was clean and the perfect size for my family. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to the expressways. I had a few questions while there and I got fast responses back to my questions. I have nothing negative to say about the house or our stay. If the owner is interested I do have a couple of suggestions for somethings that could be added to make the stay even better. A small table and chairs would be nice in the downstairs area for playing cards, games or making a puzzle that way you wouldn't have to use the dining table for those things. Also a few larger cooking utensils, I had to stir pasta with a spatula as there was no large cooking spoons. Also a measuring cup would be nice. This in no way took away from the nice stay we had. If we ever end up back in West Virginia we would definitely stay at this house again.

Road Trip
Nice location, peaceful, good house, easy to get into town, comfortable beds, good showers, lounge and kitchen/ dining area.
However, the VRBO details were misleading. We believed that there would be 4 queen sized beds as opposed to 3 and we had to make do with blow up mattresses which did not work. There were no instructions in the house and there was also a lack of kitchen utensils, wine glasses, cutlery and ancillary items. There was only one tea towel! We would also have expected that a house of this quality to provide some basic bathroom items like shower gel, body lotion etc

Quiet spot perfect for families
This house is perfectly situated in the South Hills area of Charleston, incredibly convenient to anywhere you'd want to go. My dad and I were there for a long weekend of cycling and mountain biking and found it to be exactly what we needed. Lots of space to spread out. Comfortable furnishings as well. It was a bit rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the 2 massive decks on the back of the house, but they would be great for winding down on a dry evening.
It's less than 10 minutes to downtown restaurants and about the same distance to some cool neighborhood eateries we found, including Fernbank Public House, which we'd recommend checking out for dinner on your visit.
The host was very responsive to the few questions we had and incredibly accommodating. Overall, I would highly recommend his property to anyone looking to visit Charleston.

Wedding Weekend in WV
Wonderful home with 2 bedrooms upstairs with main living with living room, kitchen, dining room, and main bathroom. Has deck out back of main living floor. Basement could have been a whole separate living quarters; with one bedroom and bathroom, washer and dryer, its own living room, and a deck out back. Wonderful neighbors with wonderful animals that my kids enjoyed playing with. A lot of wildlife. Quiet street, on a cul-de-sac. Property owner was very responsive. Will definitely stay again, if in the area.

Comfortable pleasant place to stay while attending services for my brother. It turns out he took me on a long walk from south Charleston to this area when we were small children. This area always brings back fond memories for me.

Property manager was amazing
We came to the area for a Wedding. We drove there the day of (3-1/2 hours). Instead of having to stop at a rest area and get dressed for the wedding, The property manager allowed us to check in a little bit early so that we could change and then go straight to the wedding. It was truly a lifesaver and kept us from feeling stressed out.

A lovely getaway
The house was very clean and nicely decorated. I was particularly pleased with the beds. They were very comfortable. There was everything we needed although bath mats for the showers would be nice. I was a little surprised that there wasn’t any soap for the showers, something we have found in other VRBO rentals. The host Roger, was very helpful and responded to my questions very quickly. Thanks for that Roger.

Amazing
Wow, I can’t even come close to articulate the right words on this wonderful property. If it wasn’t for the property, or the location, it was for the neighborhood. The kindest neighbors with amazing four legged furry friendlies I’ve ever been blessed to meet. Make sure you meet Gary and his beautiful lab buddy. Rodger is the greatest host, and is also ex military (Thank you for your service).

Visiting Father
This house was the perfect house for my family to stay in. We are a large family with children of all ages from babies to teens, the rooms were perfect the deck was amazing for hanging out, the property even had a grill so we of course cooked out. This house offered all the amenities EVEN EXTRA AIR MATRESSES!!!!! Everything was spotless and anything you could need was provided. A couple of neighbors stopped by when we were outside and we’re so so sweet. Staying here made us all never want to go back home to Missouri. From the fresh coffee in the morning and foggy Mountain View, to the deer sleeping in the backyard while we hung out. This place is amazing and in an amazing area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
