Great stay and great value!

This was the perfect place for our team to gather for a company retreat. There was plenty of space for everyone and conveniently located just 30 minutes from the New River Gorge and some incredible rafting. Communication with the host was clear and concise. We’d love to stay here again in the future!

Great house

The house is really big And could easily accommodate our big family and friends. Convenient location and easy communication with manager. The kitchen could be better equipped since it’s a house for many people, the wasn’t a lot of plates, cups, and silverware so we mostly used plastic one, which was fine. Not much dishes to clean.

New River Gorge stay

We had a great stay at this house. Close proximity to white water rafting and hiking. Everything is just as pictured with plenty of room for all in our group. The two different living areas were nice for us to spread out. If staying in the summer, be sure to bring a fan as the upstairs loft rooms can get warm.

Perfect place for our family reunion

We stayed in Highlander I and II for a family reunion; this was the perfect place for this multi-generational event. We loved having extra kitchens, living spaces and bathrooms. Cabins were clean and well stocked. So much to do in the area and the fire pits got used nightly for campfires and smores. Good communication from owner and easy check in/check out process.

Clean and very roomy

We came to WVA for our first family vacation. We brought all five our our kids (23-27) plus fiancés and three friends. There was plenty of room for all and the second kitchen andLoving run was a huge bonus for the 20 year olds to stay up and watch movies. Every room was clean and roomy. Thank you!

Great place for a larger family gathering

Our family had a great time at this property. It was clean, isolated, and large enough for 20+ family members to get together and not keep too cramped. Would not be opposed to staying here again if we are in the area.

Military Friends Reunion

5 families consisting of 10 adults and 10 children ranging in age between 19 and 2 years old. This house was perfect for our needs with each person having their own bed. We were able to segregate the families with younger children from the families with older children. Had two minor issues that the property manager resolved very quickly. This comment is about the response, not the issues. Things are going to happen. Having two kitchens, one on each level and three bathrooms made our stay very nice. We went white water rafting with Ace Adventures and went to Camp Creek State park. The purpose of the trip and renting the house was to reunite Army buddies, the Army wives, and brats (military children) and the convenience of this house and it’s Amenities made it a fantastic success for us.

Great for our family of 10 people.

We enjoyed staying here. Plenty of room for large groups. Very clean. The only minor negative is that it is in need of some TLC. Numerous light bulbs out, broken towel bars and curtain rods. Second floor balcony rail not safe. I did inform the property manager so hopefully things will get fixed.

Nice place for the money

We stayed here during the summer months and it was comfortable for sleeping. It had ample beds for our family of five and could have truly slept 28 comfortably. It is obviously intended to be more of a winter sky lodge instead of a summer rental as it was not conveniently located to anything. They did mention that in the booking so I can’t hold it against the location but it is a good 45 minutes from white water rafting. It would have been a wonderful place for winter sports though.

Nice cabin for large groups

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at Highlander. One special note. We went whitewater rafting for an afternoon trip. We knew we were going to return to the cabin rather late, so we inquired whether the cabin came with a crock pot. The response was "well it doesn't, but we'll make sure one is there". So when we arrived, a new slow cooker was in the cabin! We were able to start our dinner before rafting, and ate a no-fuss meal after we tired ourselves out from the rafting trip.

Spacious and welcoming

I booked this cabin for a partial family reunion. I got both the upper and lower parts of highlander 1 for our large group. The stay was great and we didn't feel like we had to watch the younger kids like hawks. There were no breakable decorative on surfaces or anything like that. I t was still decorated well and we had a blast. All the kids decided to sleep in the upper lofts/bedrooms of the upper floors so they liked being a little separated from us boring adults. We did have a slight issue with the air conditioning leaking on our last night, and it looked like that had happened before. Despite that our families would live to stay again!
