Fun Winter Weekend with Friends

Our group was looking for a fun winter weekend in WV and found this great property just outside of Elkins! The house had plenty of room for our group of 7 and had a great, private location along the cheat river. We happened to be staying when a winter storm hit, which made the weekend much more interesting! Luckily, the host was very helpful and communicative to ensure we had a great weekend! We’d love to stay here again - though maybe in the summer next time!

Wonderful experience

The house and grounds were beautiful. The firepit proved to be very enjoyable and most all about the house was very accommodating. Just a few problems: very little toilet paper and paper towels were available, until late in our stay we found the stash in the garage; the gas grill was extremely dirty and there was so much grease deposited in the grill that the one time we used the grill actually caught on fire; window in the bedroom with two beds was slightly open when we arrived and we were unable to close it upon departure and finally a set of steak knives would be very beneficial. Overall, the experience was great, the river was beautiful but our fishing experience resulted in no fish even though we fished everyday. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation.

Another amazing stay

This place is amazing. The house is well stocked with cooking utensils and towels and even some firewood for a small fire. We love staying here for our annual girls trip. The hot tub is amazing with the views of the river. Unfortunately we didn’t get much fishing in because the river was high but we enjoyed our time anyway. The host is great with getting back to us. We had zero issues except we didn’t want to leave 😊.

Great family getaway

Property was easy to find very accommodating and spacious. My family is on year 3 of a family trip in or new at Elkins area and we have decided this is the perfect fit. The hot tub was large the yard and fire pit super nice and plenty of games like Cornhole to play. Right by the water so if you want to fish/swim. We will be back next year for the annual trip!

So relaxing

Where to start on this absolutely amazing property.. The house itself has very 1970s modern look to it. With stone feature on the bottom half all the way around the house. I personally love this style of house. Front porch with a couple rockers and a porch swing... where if you like trains you can see the Western Maryland come by twice a day. If you want to ride it, it pulls out from just up town in Elkins. Walking into the house there was lots of natural light from multiple skylights and large widows. A very large living area with a super comfy couch and a TV. The kitchen is smack dab in the middle of the house which makes it convenient for meal prep and being able to still hang out with whoever is in the kitchen. A smaller sunken living room with a nice sized fire place and a door going to the back deck. The lay out of this place was absolutely fantastic. All the bedrooms were on one side of the house while all the living and hangout areas were on the other. Once we went out back we were in love. Plenty of seating options from down by the river, on both decks, and the fire pit. A rock paved path that lead to the river. It's a really good spot to put out a kayak, raft, or tubes. If you don't want to float down river plenty of trees are available to tie off on so you can just sit in the river on your tube. Hands down our new favorite spot. We travel a lot and this is by far the most relaxing place we have EVER stayed. We've already begun planning our next trip out.

The rest we needed

I traveled with my family and parents for an extended weekend before school started. This house was the perfect set up. The house was very spacious and offered everything we needed (my daughter wanted faster wifi). We spent the days fishing, floating in the river, in the hot tub, playing corn hole and long sits by the fire. It was very quiet and although there are a couple houses around, you can't see them or hear them. For dinner one night we ate at Smoke on the Water and it was also amazing. It's a must if you're in the area. We would not hesitate to return and relax again.

The perfect place for a relaxing weekend!

This house has everything you need to stay for a week or a weekend. It's clean, comfortable and well stocked with the necessities. The river in the backyard is perfect for swimming or fishing, and the whole outside area is great for unwinding on the hammock, soaking in the hot tub or sitting around the fire. We had a last minute cancelation on another rental out of state, and the owner of the house made quick arrangements for us to check in the next day. From check in to checkout we codlin't have asked for a better experience. If we return to Elkins I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Absolutely perfect!

Love, love, love River Star! House was clean with nice layout, check-in was a breeze. Property was beautiful, private and peaceful. On a dead end road with a neighbor on each side but enough distance and foliage to feel like no one else is around. Access to river from back yard. Wish we could’ve stayed longer and can’t wait to go back! Perfect- everything I look for in a vacation spot!

Perfect Winter Getaway

Patty was a great communicator!! The house was exceptional! We used it as a place to stay while enjoying sledding and tubing. It was wonderful to relax in the hot tub and we really enjoyed the river view!! The house is huge with plenty of room. The fireplace was wonderful. Our biggest complaint is not having enough time to enjoy the house and use the firepit. We hope to visit during the warm months to take advantage of the river!

A fun getaway

We had a great time over the few days we stayed at this home. Highlights definitely include direct access to the river and the fire pit. Mosquitoes might be an issue so be sure to bring repellant. If you’re interested in floating down the lazy river you might want to bring your own tubes. The property does have a few options but many of their tubes were unusable. The house was very clean. All beds were comfortable. Kitchen fully loaded. Overall a really nice getaway for us.

About the host

Hosted by Patti Reckart

Host profile image
Our family fell in love with The Shaver's Fork of The Cheat River. We live close by in Elkins, WV and love to get away to fish, float and relax at the river. I am originally from New York and my husband is a native West Virginian.

Why they chose this property

River Star is a great location. It has one of the best locations to access the river. It is a gradual access (I call it my river beach) into a great swimming hole. The river has riffles above and below our swimming hole. The property also has a beautiful trickling creek that runs through the property. Kids love to play in the creek, as well as in the river. The property boasts three lots, with a lot of room to play yard games or pop up a tent.
