New River Cabin
This cabin is beautiful and HUGE!. The rooms were large and comfortable. The place was clean, neat, and well maintained. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Two issues that future renters need to know for full disclosure. The internet is a really weak signal.
Paul left details on internet access and youtube TV. He explained that the only service available is hughesnet satellite. I happen to live in a rural mountainous area in PA so I know how cell signals and wifi come and go in valleys. However, I brought a verizon streaming device with me and hooked it up. This allowed us to be on the internet AND stream TV shows. So if you have verizon cell service, you can turn that signal into a wifi hotspot there. The hot tub was a bit of a disappointment. First, the tub in the pictures was replaced with a smaller one. We have a hottub at home, so I am familiar with their operation. When we arrived, it had just been cleaned and refilled. At check in, the tub was only 75 degrees so we couldnt use it the first night. The next morning, I checked it and it was up to 107degrees!!! That's hot enough to kill someone. So before we left,I lowered the setpoint to 99 and opened the lid. When we got back, it had cooled to 102. That's still warmer than we like, but manageable. The tub seemed to run and heat constantly and I couldn't figure out how to get the pump to shut off. To summarize, we enjoyed our stay and LOVED the cabin. Just a couple of issues to be aware of.
