Quiet & secluded!

If you’re looking for peace & quiet, with the gorgeous Tygart River within 30 yards… this is the place for you! Host addresses minor issues quickly & efficiently & is super friendly! Grandchildren enjoyed the bunk beds & riding their scooters on road & bridge (very little traffic) … no cell phone signal but was nice to unplug & we could text with Starlink wi-fi! We truly had a marvelous time in spite of lots of rain.

Very nice house and so close to the beautiful river

We loved the house had everything we needed as it was well equipped for cooking The rooms were comfortable The only thing I would add is that there needs to be screens on all the upstairs windows for small children for when windows are raised for safety The owners were friendly We used both porches and loved the river our grandkids are already saying they want to go back sometime It's a five star place

Great Place for Family

Highly recommend this home especially for a large family get-together. We had 4 couples plus a 3yr old and 3mo old. The large open area between the kitchen, dining room and living room worked great for meals, games and crafts! We sang camp songs around the campfire. Took fun group photos. Climbed on rocks in the river. Great place!

Family Wedding

We were there for our granddaughter’s wedding at Adaland Mansion. This was a convenient location for traveling to and from the event. The house was beautifully decorated and very roomy for a large family. Everything was clean and comfortable. The rain kept us from enjoying the outdoors but there was lots of room for outdoor sitting and grilling. Sherry is an exceptionally good host. I would recommend the riverfront home to anyone traveling to that area.

Spacious house in a lovely setting

We were very pleased with how spacious the house was. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and both front porch and back porches were very open and great places for a large family to hang out. We loved the rocks and the river across the road. There are lots of good parks nearby, but we found ourselves spending more time at the house, and the river in front than we anticipated. It was a pleasant surprise!

Nice family getaway

We enjoyed our stay although the weather did not allow us to fully enjoy all the property had to offer. The house is large enough for multiple families. The beds were very comfy. If you have any early risers in your group, they should be on the first floor as every step taken upstairs is heard thru the entire house and the stairs are very loud. The kitchen is well equipped as was everything in the house from extra blankets, towels and detergent for laundry.

Beautiful location, well maintained home

The location is beautiful. We were a group of 7 adults, 2 children, and 1 dog; the house was adequate in space and bathrooms, if 1 or 2 adults are willing to sleep in the bunk beds in the children's room. The house is clean and well maintained with plenty of extra towels and sheets if needed. Kitchen is also well stocked with pots and pans and cutlery. Dishwasher and washing machine works well; detergents provided. The beds were a little uncomfortable for some members of our group. Great place for a family reunion or weekend getaway.

Lovely retreat by the river

Nice place for a get together with friends. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and one child. Nice to sit on the front porch and listen to the river. Nothing is nearby though. There's one small grocery and a Dollar General in the nearby town of Phillipi (about 20 minutes) and a Walmart about 40 minutes away. The owners were very nice and live right next door should you need anything.

Very comfortable home

We came for my husbands birthday and unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. We still had a wonderful time together. The house is very clean, well kept and very beautifully restored . The beds were comfortable. The house is very well equipped with thoughtful extras. We cooked at the house the entire weekend and the kitchen is well equipped. We brought our own card games but there were plenty supplied and didn’t really need to bring anything. Very thoughtful. Lastly the owners dogs are adorable, especially Jango. He is so laid back and friendly. A very well behaved dog. Our dogs got along great with him and looked out door for him to come over all day. Thanks again for hosting such a special house.

40th Birthday Surprise

What a great place for our family to gather to surprise our oldest daughter for her 40th birthday! The house is comfortable and spacious, although a couple of the mattresses are a little soft. We had 12 people staying at the house (a couple - that's us, the parents, a family of 6, and a family of 4). Our third daughter lives 25 minutes away and her family of 6 also joined in the activities. We all loved the river, walking on the rocks and wading a bit. We also visited Audra State Park (twice - it's about 40 minute away) where there's a great swimming spot in the Middle River. The dog-loving kids loved the friendly dogs from next door. We made use of the bbq grill and the outdoor area at the back, as well as the gazebo. We totally recommend Tygart River Guest House.

Our family getaway

My husband and I met up with our son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law and youngest daughter for a lovely weekend at a great VRBO. Sherry was a wonderful host and was very good about getting us information for hiking and swimming in the area. The river our front is beautiful and was a great feature to this property. Pretty much everything we needed was provided. I wish the bed in the one front room wasn't so bouncy but other than that everyone slept well. Hopefully we will be able to have a return visit in the future. We are already missing the dogs next door who were also great hosts and would take us for walks along the river. The dogs would also hang out on the back deck occasionally and were very well behaved.

Check in and out was a breeze. House and property was clean and comfortable. It was a little difficult to find at first, but easy enough to navigate once we knew where we were.

Wonderful experience!!! Well appointed rooms. Charming history. It was a long awaited girls weekend with my sisters and nieces since covid. This place is so relaxing. Whether porch sitting, gathering at the firepit, having dinner on the cozy deck, or petting the owners sweet dogs, Jango and Dolce, or just watching the river flow by. You won’t regret a visit to this adorable farm house. Thank you Sherry!
