• Anglers should check out the fishing packages, which combine lodging with a personal fishing guide who'll take you out on on [sic] the New or Gauley rivers, plus Summersville Lake, to fish for walleye, bass, and catfish. – Alistair Wearmouth, Away.com
• What a beautiful cabin! Sit in the hot tub on the deck and feel like you are in the wilderness, raccoons and all! The cabin was beautiful and comfortable and had all the things we could have possibly needed. – JNL2010, TripAdvisor
