Overall place was nice. The hottub was a nice touch. Airbnb host was very responsive and place 15 mins from new river gorge area. A little outdated but if you only looking for a place to sleep and adventure during the day it’s worth it. Would stay again

Overall the place is OK, but would surely benefit from some updating. The biggest issue was the broken BBQ grill. It turned out to be a known problem (and even reported in one of the reviews), but the owner did not bother to inform us about it, making us to discover it as an unexpected and unpleasant surprise.

Truthfully Tony is a great host, it’s just the place needs to be seriously updated. The door was busted in to the point that we couldn’t lock the second lock, the grill was broken which was a big let down, because we chose this place for that reason, the hot tub only worked on occasion, the doors didn’t shut, the information in the books were extremely outdated, and the dishwasher was leaking and broken. I did however appreciate him shipping me an item I had left behind even though I had to pay for it to be shipped.

Some cosmetic damange but overall it was an enjoyable stay. The fire pit area was very peaceful! I enjoyed the hot tub but it does have ALOT of chemical in it so I wasn’t able to stay in very long. The beds and livingroom were comfortable to be in. The dishes weren’t very clean in the cabinets but they had everything already there to clean them up better. It’s a very affordable place to stay if you want the homey experience and not a hotel room. If we are ever in the area again I will be sure to rent from Tony again. Overall great stay for price 🥳

Cute little house very close to the national park and historic downtown. The hottub was great after the tough hikes. It is in a dense little neighborhood and not ultra private, but the hedges help. The house was very lovely and comfortable.

Upon arrival we noticed the front door looked as if it had been broken into previously. Later we pulled out the couch mattress to find what appeared to be mice droppings on it…we then checked the beds to find hair (human/animal), and yellow staining on the twin sheets. That left four of us sharing a queen mattress in the living room floor on sheets/pillow cases we washed ourselves. Various windows would not lock. There was a bag of trash left in the laundry room from the previous guests. These experiences made our night stay miserable, while trying to celebrate the birthday of a friend. It had also snowed so we could not leave. It was clear the home/bedding had not been cleaned and the beds had quickly been remade with the sheets from the previous guests. We immediately contacted Tony with these issues with no care on his end, nor a resolution. We are currently waiting on him to contact us. Would not recommend this Airbnb, although we were initially excited. Photos also deceiving.

Tony was a great host. The place was very clean, had nice dishes, kitchen accessories and the hot tub was nice. The description states that the location is “in the woods” which maybe it technically is. However, it is in a very dense neighborhood. Very little trees around property. Something worth noting if looking for a more secluded place. Overall, very happy with our stay.

The police was conveniently located in Oak Hill, West Virginia. It’s nearby new River Gorge and Hess state parks, which are too exotic place and worth your visit. The experience was very gratifying. Tony was Amazing, he responded as quick as possible to every concern of mine. Thank you Tony and looking forward to revisit.

Overall the stay was nice. I’d say if you’re visiting New River Gorge national park that this is a convenient option. A couple things to note- while the listing says it’s a dog friendly option, the neighbors leave their dogs unleashed outside and they howl, bark, and even ran after our leashed dogs on a run of the mill morning walk. If you’re a dog owner, this is definitely important info to have before booking. The neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy, but the home was fine for what we were looking for.

BEWARE! THIS HOME NOT AS LISTED! The pictures and description were inaccurate. The home had a TERRIBLE moldy smell. My friends and I, after traveling for 10+ hours did not stay, for even one night. We walked in and immediately left and had to scramble to find other accommodations at the last minute. Cleaning crew (who were smoking) was leaving as we arrived, at check in time. The owner sent instructions to drive slowly as to not kick up dust, but the road was a blacktop. He clearly did not know the house or neighborhood. When I reached out to ask the owner if he had been there, he did not respond. The neighborhood was hit or miss, we would not have felt comfortable using the outside amenities . The New River Gorge National Park is spectacular, but Fayetteville and Oak Hill are not much of a town.

When you book the room, they don’t give you the lock number to get inside until you go on their website and agree to their rules under penalty of a fine. the rules on their website are not listed in the aid bnb post, and there is a no refund policy. And you better take a seat to read over the full 10 pages of rules they have listed. Even though the Air BNB post says you’re allowed pets, you better not bring one unless you keep it in a crate at all times and never leave it unsupervised. These are just a sample of the additional rules listed. In my opinion, what the host is doing is a scumbag move, and he should be banned from AirBNB.

Tony is a perfect host. He responded quickly after my last minute/same day reservation, providing all the info I needed for an easy check in. The amenities were as described. My only suggestions to future guests, not as a negative, just good to know are that the mattresses are VERY firm and the hot tub has a high level of chlorine. My navy blue tank top and ankle bracelet are both now bleached a spring pink/maroon color, haha! Like I said, neither are a bad thing, just a friendly mention so you know to be prepared 🙂

Positive: Absolutely nothing. I was ripped off by the host. I booked the house and informed the host about arriving between midnight and 1am. The host sent me a faulty link that wouldn’t give me any check in information. One I tried contacting the host upon arrival I called over 20 times with no answer, emailed and texted and didn’t receive a response. So I had to spend double the money and go get hotel rooms. Negative: The host was very rude and I didn’t like the way she handled business

My partner, dog and I stayed for a couple of nights. Came for the new river gorge. Oak hill area is very quaint, not much to do, but our intention was the lay low and relax. Think overall, the stay was just fine but it’s fairly expensive given size and location. We would look in Fayetteville when we come back in the future but appreciated the space, nonetheless!

Our stay at this Airbnb was quite disappointing. The bathroom lock was not working, which was a major inconvenience for privacy.

Me and my husband loved staying at Tony’s airBnB in Oak Hill WV! We came to check out NRG NP and to do some rafting which was a blast, and ended up LOVING Fayetteville WV. The food was amazing, everyone we met was so friendly and welcoming. Tony’s place is in a great location, within a 10 minute drive of tons of restaurants and trail heads if your into hiking. Tony’s place was a great little home to come back to after a full day of exploring. The neighborhood is very quiet and relaxing. Thanks Tony!

House described as cottage in the woods but actually it is a small house in a residential neighborhood with neighbors super close. It was nicely decorated but dirty. Bathroom was filthy. There was hair in the floor, mildew on shower tiles, stuff splashed on walls/baseboards… just grimy. We had 4 towels for 4 guests for 2 days to use for shower & hot tub. Requested more towels, housekeeper brought them the night before leaving at 7pm. Paid $90 cleaning fee but owner texted & said to take trash out of all cans & take to curb, wash all dishes & gather up dirty towels. Would not stay here again. Dirty & overpriced!

Positive: Fairly easy to find and closely located to town. Comfortable and convenient. Negative: The property charges $90 for cleaning fee, yet they demand you wash your dishes, take out the trash and arrange the furniture if moved. The guest ends up doing the things paid for by the cleaning fee or “gauging fee.”

Booked this stay for 2 nights. The pics were a little deceiving. The angles in which they took the pics…showed a peaceful-like place. However, I cld barely find it in a fairly rough neighborhood, so I had to ask a neighbor for help, was very surprised when I pulled up. There were kids out everywhere n the street, random people walking around by the driveway, music playing outside somewhere, and I stepped out onto the front porch and the neighbors were standing RIGHT THERE! I cldve reached out and touched them. The hot tub is right off the front porch…so there is no privacy, not that we cldve used it anyway considering the dirty film hovered up in the center where it was obviously not cleaned in a minute. The only other thing I wanted to do was chill by a fire…and the grass was too high for that and we did not find any wood…like it said we cld purchase. I asked for a refund to go elsewhere, but was offered a partial refund and to send someone out to clean the hot tub.

Great cozy place near New River Gorge! Tony was communicative and helpful, though we didn’t need to communicate because the instructions and house guide were very thorough. The hot tub was great. I can imagine that it would be even better in the winter time! We took Tony’s trail hike recommendation and we were not disappointed. Great value, cozy home with plenty of amenities, and close to New River Gorge for hiking and outdoors activities.
