We had a great stay here while visiting family in Buckhannon. Will definitely stay again.
The house is plenty big enough for an average family to have a great stay. 3 comfortable bedrooms, 2 baths well stocked with essentials, a full kitchen, firepit, 2 large porches with ample seating, all on a beautiful piece of property. Kara is very responsive. 10/10

Wedding Weekend
The property was spectacular and the house wonderful. We loved meeting and feeding the deer. The owner thinks about everything to make your stay enjoyable, from the snacks left to the items for children. I had forgotten to oack toothpaste and to my surprise she provided some.

Great location, great people. Couldn't ask for more
Great property and very clean. Had all that we needed. Kara was a great host
This property was clean, maintained and had everything we needed. The owner provided a lot of little nice touches, with premade bags for smores, snacks, packaged toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc. The area is beautiful and has lots of deer to watch. My family had plenty of room to gather and visit as we all came in from separate states to celebrate my recently passed Mother's life. This was a great property to stay at while in Buckhannon. The next time we are back in Buckhannon we would happily stay here again.

Beautiful cabin in the West Virginia Mountains
The cabin was amazingly well stocked and comfortable. It was frigid for our Florida family and there were plenty of blankets. Our family loved meeting the deer and learning a little something about deer farming, 4H, and coal mining! Kara was a wealth of information and we had a lot of questions ;) Our family enjoyed hikes at Audra park with our dogs and s’mores at the fire pit. The only thing we encountered that could be updated was the water heater. As a family of 6 we had to coordinate showers/baths so we didn’t run out of hot water. My kids absolutely wanted to bathe “swim” in the master bath but there wasn’t enough hot water to fill it up. I’m sure with just a few people taking showers this wouldn’t be a problem.
Overall we enjoyed our short stay at Whitetail deer farm and had lots of great family time. It would be nice to stay again if we are traveling this way maybe in the summer or fall.

Family stay
Myself, my sister, and our families had an amazing weekend stay. We were visiting our Grandmother in the area and this house was perfect for us. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The kids loved the toys in the one bedroom and claimed it as “their room”. The living room was large and allowed us all to gather together and also the kitchen table was a great gathering place to play games. We look forward to staying again.

Beautiful and Relaxing!
You can't ask for a better place to stay. The home was spot less, and just beautiful inside and out. Very nicely appointed, and so many little touches from Kara that were so useful and thoughtful. My husband had a rather major health set back and we needed to push our trip back a few weeks. Kara allowed us to switch with no issues at all. She was so easy to work with. Kara is just a gracious host. We will definitely stay again.
