Holiday houses in Shinnston

We couldn’t have picked a better location to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary. We spent a beautiful Saturday at Blackwater Falls and exploring any trace of the Blackwater 100 (historic offroad race) around town. Sunday was raining and we spent the entire day at the cabin having the most peaceful day watching the clouds roll through.

This place is beautiful. Very easy to find, easy entry, and private. Ziggy was helpful and communicative throughout the stay. There were little issues here and there but overall a great and convenient place to stay with a large group! The hot tub was nice, too. 4.5 - 5 star experience for sure.

Our 8-person group included older parents, as well as two kids <10, during the most off-season month at Deep Creek, when many area attractions were closed. Along with some stormy spring weather, that meant we were spending a good amount of our trip in the house. And we had an amazing time there. The kids loved the arcade machine, foosball & ping pong table, puzzles, board games and the big TV was great for movies and ballgames in front of the warm fireplace. The grill, firepit and hot tub were easy to use and in great condition - it was reassuring to see the contracted hot tub company come for routine maintenance, indicating it was clean & safe. And the view! We ate at the dining table and gazed out over the lake and hills. The kitchen had all we needed to cook for everyone. Beds/baths were comfy and it was nice to have a set on each floor - our families could have our own spaces, and my parents could stay on the 1st floor to avoid stairs. We loved the house and hope to return!

We had the opportunity to spend a long weekend with family members to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday and Easter! This place was fantastic! The location was beautiful and the hosts were super responsive to any questions asked. I would highly recommend this place and I’m looking forward to going back in the near future!

Stay was great overall. Clean and spacious home! Fit our two families perfectly and felt very comfortable.

This is a retreat that includes two rentals, a walk-in tent camping area and the host's house. It is very secluded with beautiful grounds, nice outdoor areas to enjoy. The houses are far enough apart that we hardly noticed the neighbors as they came and went. It is located a next to busy train tracks and at times numerous trains sped by noticeably during the evenings. There were plenty of bedrooms; two bedrooms were walk throughs, one upstairs to the basement steps, one downstairs to another bedroom. Three bathrooms although the showers were tiny and showerheads did not adjust so there's no way to get out of the spray. The layout of the kitchen area was a bit of a challenge for more than two people to work at the same time. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking needs but no spices or cooking supplies so bring your own. There were plenty of exceptionally specific instructions and read them carefully. All in all it was a very nice, comfy stay for the six of us.

We had a great stay. The Host's recommendation of Phil the fishing guide led to a great fishing outing on the lake, including huge catches. Phil was a great fishing guide, helping rookies with the experience. The house was as advertised, with ample room for our family to spread out and find space when the weather turned sour on us. Everything we needed was easily within a 30-minute drive, most within 10 minutes.

The house was excellent. Exactly as described, and exactly what we were looking for during our two week Christmas trip. We would definitely rent again.
