Birding trip to Highland County
Very nice and peaceful place. The house is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was a great home base for our birding trip. We also enjoyed the birds around the property.

Haven is a lovely warm home. It being Christmas time was decorated beautifully and we were lucky enough to get a fresh snow fall. Highland county is very quiet and rural but thats the beauty of it. Its a very special place.

There was a family event that brought us to the area of our rental & our first visit to this area. The rental fit our needs perfectly. The area has some points of interest that we look forward to exploring in the near future and will stay at the Haven.

Mountain Momma Bike Ride weekend
My daughter and I stayed two nights at the Haven. We loved the property and would definitely stay there again in the future. The house was very clean, well-stocked, and had more space than what we needed. The owners Lon and Sarah were very welcoming, and I enjoyed having a conversation with them. I did an organized bike ride in the area and the Haven was a great place to unwind after the event.

Peace in paradise
Unplug and getaway from hustle and bustle. We had everything we needed and especially enjoyed sitting on the deck looking birdwatching while having a glass of wine. You might need a 4 WD vehicle to navigate the last bit of road before driveway. We have a Subaru Outback and had no problem. I highly recommend the Bluegrass Mercantile for any last minute grocery items. They had the best, huge Steamed Shrimp and Hushpuppies!

Haven is a slice of Heaven!
Just absolutely wonderful...from the house to the view! The home was so charming and clean.. The kitchen well stocked and all the modern conveniences, the beds were very comfortable, the outside views were amazing. It was so peaceful. We enjoyed watching the cows. Great spaces outside to enjoy the sunrise in the morning and the firepit in the starry night skies. We definitely plan to come back! By far my favorite vrbo rental we've done in the WV/VA area.

Calm and quiet
My team and I are working nearby and this house was perfect for our short term stay. The house was equipped with anything we could have needed and plenty of room for all. I am looking forward to seeing the "basement addition" to come. We will definitely be back to stay when needed. Delta Temp Inc. Team

Beautiful and relaxing spot
This was my fourth time staying at the Haven and it is an idyllic location in Highland County. The property is immaculate and well-appointed. The owners seem to have anticipated our every need. The kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances and is well-supplied with dishes, cooking utensils, and commonly-needed (but often forgotten) cooking essentials. The beds are comfortable, as are the sitting and dining areas. The owners live nearby and are helpful when needed, but unobtrusive. I have highly recommended this property to friends.

Winter Bliss
Owners are pleasant and communication was there throughout the entire process. There for any needs, but allows for space and enjoyment. Everything on the listing is as described, but being there in person makes it that much better. Home gave me a very modernized old school feel. It was great!!! Spotlessly clean and cozy. Felt like home away from home. Very peaceful and relaxing. Great views for morning coffee. Great stay for a weekend break from the Hussle and bussle. Would definitely recommend.

Host was very rude
Charged for additional 3rd person whereas property has 3 bedrooms..it was not stated before. Host asked post checkout why did we use trash bags, tissue papers etc where I had to explain him that last night family members got stomach upset and vomited. I have never seen such a question and miserly behavior from any other host.

Well apointed, lovley house on a farm setting
I really can't say enough good things about this property and the owners. I've rented many properties like this from VRBO and this stay ranked as one of my favorites. 1. The house was immaculate! Pride of ownership and attention to detail in how the house was maintained was apparent everywhere. It was also very well equipped, everything worked and there were very thoughtful and homey touches throughout. Plenty of cookware that was all in new or excellent condition and purposefully chosen; not just a pile of thrift store stuff that didn't really make sense (like some places we've stayed). Bedrooms and bathrooms were all well appointed and everything was in excellent working order. 2. The owners were easy to reach and very concerned that everything was exactly as we expected and if we needed anything. 3. Great views from the deck and a serene setting. In late May, just from the deck, we spotted Baltimore Orioles, Yellow Warbler, Swallows, Blue Jays, Kingbirds, Red Headed Woodpeckers, and many more common songbirds. 4. This property is on our "do-over' list. It was excellent by all measures.

Perfect home away from home
My fiancé and I stayed here for the weekend for a friend’s wedding and it was incredibly surreal. The sights were phenomenal, and we managed to see lots of deer and cows. The entire home was well organized, clean, and had an abundance of amenities. We both enjoyed our stay immensely and are considering coming back just because the place was so comforting and it truly was even better than the pictures. Instructions were so clear and there were multiple spaces to relax and enjoy the sights. Highly recommend!

Our week in the country
In a remote 1960’s farmhouse, with sparkling clean rooms and a friendly Jersey cow next door, we loitered on the porch with our coffee, and enjoyed lots of books and memorabilia for five great days while attending a friends wedding. It was wonderful and I recommend this place.
