Great stay as advertised

Quiet and beautiful location. Cottage is everyrhing as advertised. A bit of a haul on pretty windy roads "35 min to buccannon" to get a gallon of milk but a nice one at that. Hot tube and fire pit are a very nice touch!!

Peaceful retreat

We came to French Creek in search of a quiet, peaceful cabin away from the hustle and bustle back home. We got EXACTLY what we were in search of. The cabin was as clean as every other review stated. It was spotless... The hot tub was spectacular. We had unseasonably warm weather so getting in and out of town was easy, as well as getting to the state parks. We were very happy with our stay and recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat just off the beaten path.

Country with the amenities

Beautiful house and property and an awesome stay! Cannot say enough great things about my stay! It was comfortable and the cottage was gorgeous! I never needed anything or had any questions, but from the moment I clicked ‘reserve’ Cheryl had reached out offering any assistance. She truly wanted to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend staying here! They thought of everything! Some fun games for the kids, a few toiletries for those who always forget, the kitchen had everything you needed- just bring your food! Thank you so much for the great memories!!

Cool, rural cottage to escape the heat

Wildflower is a sweet litttle cottage in a rural part of W. Virginia. My sister and I were looking for a place to escape the heat of Virginia, and we did! The weather was beautiful, cool in the mornings and evenings and much less humid than Virginia. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. Beds were comfy. Our only complaints were the fridge that made noises all day that sounded like a cow in labor. Also, there was no cushio foor an porch bench that had metal slats on it that you couldn't sit on. We enjoyed Holly River State Park about an hour away and the nearby W.VA Wildlife Center.

Perfect Mountain Getaway!

The cabin is gorgeous, the hot tub was amazing and the fire pit was so fun. The hot tub offers the most gorgeous view of the sunset over the trees and incredible views of the night sky. My 5 yr old LOVED the bunk beds. Worked out perfect for us. Washer and dryer was great to have since I forgot to pack him clean underwear so we had to re-wash his 🤣 Check in was super easy and straightforward. There’s no cell service at the cabin but the Wi-Fi is great and will stretch to the hot tub so as long as your Wi-Fi calling is turned on you won’t have any issues. We visited the West Virginia wildlife reserve and can’t recommend enough. Has elk and bison and about a 1.5 mile hike through the woods and around the other animals. They also make fresh pepperoni bread that is so yummy. We bought a few for our drive home and loved them. Highly recommend!!
