Tranquil and comfortable property in a beautiful setting. Amenities were as described and presented. Hostess was very gracious and kind. We hope to visit again soon!

Cozy cabin, close to many hiking trails. Cabin has everything you need. The bathroom is updated and the shower has nice water pressure. Everything was clean and was great having a large tv above the fireplace in both the living room and bedroom.
First time stay. Loved the location. Outside property could use some cleaning up and outside grill needs replaced but overall the experience was relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
We love River's Edge...this was our 6th time visiting. The fishing is great...a big plus for our 3 boys. There are lots of things to do nearby...train ride in Elkins, biking, hiking, Senca Rocks, Canaan Valley, Blackwater Falls, ect.
Our family of four had a super fun and relaxing time at the cabin. The setting is perfect. Quiet and beautiful on the river. The log cabin is awesome, and the hot tub and fire pit and deck were much enjoyed. The scenic mountain train ride out of Elkins is fun! Thank you for the great stay and for the easy communication with host.
Very peaceful and relaxing stay! We thoroughly enjoyed everything the cabin had to offer. Whether casting a line or just sitting on the deck, watching the wildlife and listening to the river, we had a wonderful time. We’re already talking about coming back next summer. Tiffany is an excellent host! Thank you for your hospitality.
I love this cabin! It’s such a great and well preserved original cabin, but also offers newer amenities like washer/dryer and AC. The deck overlooking the river is so great. You’ll find an extremely well equipped kitchen, fishing rods, firewood, river access, tons of towels, super nice hot tub, I could go on and on, they’ve thought of everything. I would definitely stay here again!

Uncomfortable
Rustic is one thing. But the dimly lit, unusually narrow and attep stairs to the upstairs bedrooms was unsafe. The fire extinguisher in the kitchen was empty. We found 2 in a cabinet in the laundry room but, had there been a fire, it is unlikely we would have found them in an emergency. Lovely location,
Shower backed up immediately as well as the sink, bought some strong Drano ourselves and it cleared the clog. The toilet seat was always covered with condensation so we had to keep wiping it off. Could use some new bath towels and bed spread…little things like that could use a refresh. The upstairs is very creaky and feels unsafe to walk on and the steps are very dangerous. The porch needs all new screening and the screen doors are pretty old. The rest of the house is great, but could use a thorough cleaning. It was confusing as how to regulate the heat and the living room and kitchen were very cold. I do feel like most cabins we’ve stayed at tend to have the same issues and I understand a lot of people come and go and make messes, so I get it…and we did love the place. The view was amazing as well as the jacuzzi. The TVs are great and the furniture was nice as well as the bed.
I hope this review was not offensive…we loved the cabin, we know renters cause damage, just wanted to offer feedback so things can be easier on the owners too and make their cabin the best rental in the area. Even though we had some issues to list, we totally would come back again. We loved the bedroom the most! It was
huge and the fireplace was the best! The dining table area was so cute and nicely decorated. There could a better way to locate the property. It was so hard to find and there was no actual sign indicating the name of the cabin.
We stayed during Christmas week and found the cabin very easy to get to. The power in the area went out during our stay, and the host was quick to respond, which we appreciated. The cabin was clean and very comfortable for two people. The kitchen and bathroom were very nice and well maintained. The upstairs area was a bit uncomfortable for our teenage kids due to the creaky floors and the age of the house, so we all ended up staying in the master bedroom. Overall, I would recommend this cabin for a couple rather than a family.
Cabin is comfortable and clean. Very nice kitchen and bath. Being on the river was wonderful. Only downside was 2 of the bedrooms are upstairs and the stairs are very difficult to maneuver.
Cabin seemed very cozy at first until it got cold outside. It was a little drafty, especially upstairs. Glad we brought extra blankets! I did however find that we somehow turned off a switch in the laundry room to one of the baseboard heaters in the living room. Probably wouldn’t have been as cold had we known that. Our kids did not sleep upstairs due to it being cold and a little dusty. The location on the river was great and would have been very enjoyable in warmer weather. The kitchen was nice and had all the things we needed to cook. The laundry room was nice as well. Bathroom was updated with nice size shower but a little cold. Two space heaters were provided which was nice and would have heated the bathroom had I thought of it. Lots of outdoor space and also plenty of firewood for the fireplace!
