Beautiful Mountain Retreat
What a treat! Our family had a wonderful stay at Balm of Gilead. A magnificent setting with a stream running right out front and mountain view. We were so comfortable with plenty of room and everything you could imagine you might need. Wonderful area to hike or just sit on the porch and the hot rub was nice too. We hope to return before too long and again next year for the Maple Festival!

Great place to stay!
This rental was awesome! Couldn't have found a better place. We were there to do Via Ferrata at Nrocks in Circleville, WV and this rental was 30 away which was perfect. The owners were extremely responsive and nice! I'm coming down again next summer and hope to rent this place again.

Fantastic!
This home was fantastic. The views are awesome, it’s quiet and private, but close enough to sightsee around the area. We enjoyed the porches, the hot tub, the fire pit. Family was 18-79 and all found something to enjoy. Nicole is responsive with any questions. Definitely hope to go back!

Great property!
This West Virginia farmhouse did not disappoint. The peace and tranquility of the area was just what we were looking for. The owners are very friendly and suggested several scenic areas to visit. As a school teacher, this was an excellent way to relax and recharge for the upcoming school year. We had deer to watch each evening and enjoyed soaking in the views and in the hot tub! We cooked each evening and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.

Fall Colors Spectacle
Beautiful property, well-stocked house, and functional amenities are all a part of this listing. My friends and I enjoyed a quiet weekend trip to see all the fall colors and really enjoyed the walking trails and the nearby quaint towns. It ended up raining quite a bit with the cold front that came through, so instead of the fire pit we used the hot tub quite a bit since it's under cover. It was a lovely time on the whole!

2nd visit! Amazing quiet property for some alone time or a family reunion! The kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking supplies needed. Bring groceries and a swimsuit for the hot tub. Fire pit, camp chairs and board games available! Wonderful communication and a gracious host. If you love being in the middle of nowhere with the sounds of nature and a creek, you will love it here, too!
