New River Gorge
The home was very nice and spacious for 2 friends. The setting on the river was beautiful and we enjoyed beautiful weather. The proximity to the New River National Park was perfect. We kept very busy each day of our stay. The kitchen, baths, and bedrooms were all well stocked for our needs.
It would have been nice to have a "heads up" as to the proximity of the train tracks. The trains that went straight through were not really an issue...kind of fun to see (and hear). Not sure if this is a "usual" event but 3 out of the 4 nights we were there a train was stopped on the tracks behind the house the entire night with its diesel engine running. That was sometimes difficult to ignore. If a person was a light sleeper, they would have been agitated.
We ended up not needing the heat turned on but we couldn't figure out how to turn on the heater that was in-between the living and dining areas. The directions in the notebook were not clear and/or we couldn't figure out what was supposed to open on the heater??? Maybe a picture in the notebook or a label on the heater?
We thank you for your timely communication regarding firewood (which we ended up not being able to use due to the fire ban - thank you to your neighbor for giving us this heads up) and check in information.
Will definitely recommend your place (but with the warning about the trains) to friends/family. Thank you. Beth
