Weekend getaway

We came down for a ghost hunt at the Trans Allegheny Lunatic asylum. This place was wonderful to recoup from a long night. We had comfortable beds to sleep in, a clean bathroom and kitchen to refresh and gather in and the cleanest hottub I have ever been in. The view and scenery was amazing and the star gazing was a treat as well. Would love to come back

Cool, rural cottage to escape the heat

Wildflower is a sweet litttle cottage in a rural part of W. Virginia. My sister and I were looking for a place to escape the heat of Virginia, and we did! The weather was beautiful, cool in the mornings and evenings and much less humid than Virginia. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. Beds were comfy. Our only complaints were the fridge that made noises all day that sounded like a cow in labor. Also, there was no cushio foor an porch bench that had metal slats on it that you couldn't sit on. We enjoyed Holly River State Park about an hour away and the nearby W.VA Wildlife Center.
