Our week in the country

In a remote 1960’s farmhouse, with sparkling clean rooms and a friendly Jersey cow next door, we loitered on the porch with our coffee, and enjoyed lots of books and memorabilia for five great days while attending a friends wedding. It was wonderful and I recommend this place.

Birding trip to Highland County

Very nice and peaceful place. The house is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was a great home base for our birding trip. We also enjoyed the birds around the property.

Nice quiet get away

We came for the stars and unfortunately got a cloudy weekend. Still had a great time away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. The home was lovely and people in the town were very nice.

A beautiful home

A beautiful and tranquil place. Lon and his wife were super hospitable. We had two kids with us who enjoyed the fire pit at night and watching the cows in the morning. The cleanest and most well maintained vacation rental we’ve been to. Can’t wait to go back.

Perfect home away from home

My fiancé and I stayed here for the weekend for a friend’s wedding and it was incredibly surreal. The sights were phenomenal, and we managed to see lots of deer and cows. The entire home was well organized, clean, and had an abundance of amenities. We both enjoyed our stay immensely and are considering coming back just because the place was so comforting and it truly was even better than the pictures. Instructions were so clear and there were multiple spaces to relax and enjoy the sights. Highly recommend!

For our family, this was our third stay at this property. It is very clean and cozy/comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied. The hosts do a great job in communicating. We enjoy the quiet setting and farm/mountain views. Great property for other families to book and enjoy!

Charming and Impeccable

The pictures did not do this gem justice! It was absolutely impeccable and so charming. The furniture was incredibly comfortable and we enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the evening with the cows and deer in the pasture.

There was a family event that brought us to the area of our rental & our first visit to this area. The rental fit our needs perfectly. The area has some points of interest that we look forward to exploring in the near future and will stay at the Haven.

Mountain Momma Bike Ride weekend

My daughter and I stayed two nights at the Haven. We loved the property and would definitely stay there again in the future. The house was very clean, well-stocked, and had more space than what we needed. The owners Lon and Sarah were very welcoming, and I enjoyed having a conversation with them. I did an organized bike ride in the area and the Haven was a great place to unwind after the event.

Haven is a slice of Heaven!

Just absolutely wonderful...from the house to the view! The home was so charming and clean.. The kitchen well stocked and all the modern conveniences, the beds were very comfortable, the outside views were amazing. It was so peaceful. We enjoyed watching the cows. Great spaces outside to enjoy the sunrise in the morning and the firepit in the starry night skies. We definitely plan to come back! By far my favorite vrbo rental we've done in the WV/VA area.

We will return!!

What's not to love!! This was our 2nd time staying at Haven. Each friend that has accompanied us here just fell in love too. The home itself has everything you need, it's super clean, very comfortable beds, charmingly decorated, but with the views outside...we spent most of our time out back. I'm usually the person who wants to go and see this and do that, but i never left the property and loved every minute of it. We were there purposely for the perseids meteor shower and the dark skies at haven did not disappoint!! Looking forward to another opportunity to stay at Haven.

Calm and quiet

My team and I are working nearby and this house was perfect for our short term stay. The house was equipped with anything we could have needed and plenty of room for all. I am looking forward to seeing the "basement addition" to come. We will definitely be back to stay when needed. Delta Temp Inc. Team

Peace in paradise

Unplug and getaway from hustle and bustle. We had everything we needed and especially enjoyed sitting on the deck looking birdwatching while having a glass of wine. You might need a 4 WD vehicle to navigate the last bit of road before driveway. We have a Subaru Outback and had no problem. I highly recommend the Bluegrass Mercantile for any last minute grocery items. They had the best, huge Steamed Shrimp and Hushpuppies!
