dee-deeEnjoy a welcome change of pace where trademark hospitality takes on a special meaning.
One phone call to our office and we think you’ll agree that Jan, Dee Dee, Stephanie and Heather are really good at finding great places to go and things to do . . . You’ll feel as though you’ve found an old friend to guide you around during your stay.

We’ve asked folks what they are looking for when planning their next vacation and most have told us that they seek rest and relaxation above all else.  With that thought in mind, we have committed ourselves to providing a retreat from the ordinary that is becoming so elusive . . . an opportunity to leave the land of concrete swimming pools behind and re-awaken your senses to the environment in which we live.  Splash into the cleanest, deepest lake East of the Mississippi and see why divers call us the “Little Bahama’s . . . Grab your fishing rod and rock hop your way out to the tailwaters of rapids that would turn waterpark developers green with envy . . . or as one of our guests said recently, “Why do the imitation when you can do the real thing!”  But don’t just take our word for it . . .  read comments taken straight out of the guest books in our cabins of folks who stayed here last year. 

“We started our day with renting a pontoon from you all.  It was a wonderful day on Summersville Lake.  Our first time here.  The cabin was awesome.  Aly and EJ loved the loft.  One night was definitely not long enough.  Thanks Steve for your kindness and thorough explanation of the boat Donna Marie, it was our first time on a pontoon also.  Thanks Donna for your kindness in the office.  You have a wonderful place.  Hope to see you again soon. “ Jay, Kathi, Alyson, EJ, WV
