Cabin weekend

This place is cozy and comfortable. The drive way is a bit intimidating but nothing 4 wheel drive can’t handle. The amenities provided are in good working order and easy to find. It is very close to the park and has great recommendations for where to eat and things to do. It might be a small town but it has big fun. This place might not have Internet but makes up for with a library or books and films. I’m looking forward to going back and giving the river rafting a shot.

Gauley River Trip

Great Property in a Great Location!! Located right across the street Cantrell’s Rafting / Bar, it’s the perfect place to stay for a rafting trip and only a couple minute drive from downtown. The property is completely secluded by the surrounding hills and trees. Plenty of space to enjoy outdoor activities with a fire pit and large patio area. Went with 5 guys and had plenty of space to relax and sleep. People were not joking about the AWD you'll need to get up the hill. We had to keep two vehicles parked down at Cantrell’s that couldn’t make the climb. The place was clean, and had all the supplies and amenities for a comfortable stay. Perfect spot for a West Virginia Trip!

Disappointed

We rented this house specifically for the two full bathrooms to accommodate the two couples’ differing morning routines. The first morning the upstairs shower would not turn off—at all—it remained fully on. We notified John Taylor immediately. He thanked us for letting him know, indicating that not everyone would do that. A handyman was sent out. He turned the main water valve off, but couldn’t fix the problem. A plumber was there at 7 pm after we returned from our day—inconvenient. He was only able to turn the shower off, but not fix it then, indicating it was installed incorrectly and therefore would be a time-consuming fix. We were patient and kind throughout this ordeal. All four people had to use the first floor shower the next morning, waking one guest far earlier than planned. The upstairs couple had to pack up all their shower needs to use downstairs. The downstairs couple had to use the upstairs toilet and sink while the upstairs couple were using the downstairs shower. See the aggravation? After returning home, we asked John for a 20% discount since we didn’t have use of the two full bathrooms we had paid for. He refused, but offered us the same discount on a future visit. Why would we return when you didn’t do right by us the first time? That’s just poor business sense! We understand that it wasn’t John’s fault and that he TRIED to fix it, but when a business owner is unable to deliver his product as advertised, an adjustment in price should be offered.

About the host

Hosted by John Taylor

Why they chose this property

We built Top of the Hill in 2013 as a home away from home in the Mountains of West Virginia. It is just outside the city limits of Fayetteville, WV offering a rural setting just minutes from civilization. We are minutes from many scenic trails in the National Park, and downtown Fayetteville. Fayetteville is a wonderful, quiet town, offering several great restaurants to unwind at with a cold beer at the end of the day. We situated the cabin high up on a hill offering amazing sunsets in the evening from the porch and fire ring.

What makes this property unique

Top of the Hill offers a unique setting just minutes from town while feeling miles away. We are also conveniently located across the street from Cantrell Ultimate Rafting making white water trips a short walk from your door. Cantrell’s also has a pub and features live bands on the weekends.
