My wife and I decided to take a road trip before I start a new job. We booked Trails End based on past reviews, price, the general appeal of the cabin, and the fact that they accept dogs. We were not disappointed. The cabin was very clean, and felt larger inside than it appeared outside. We have 3 large dogs, and never really felt crowded. There's a loft which we didn't use, but it would be perfect for a couple kids or another adult couple. The kitchen had about everything you could need, including a lighter stick and matches in one drawer... even a deck of cards. Perhaps most importantly, the bed was actually pretty comfortable. Considering how much we spent on our bed at home for a good nights sleep, we both slept quite nicely at Trails End. We didn't have time to jump into the jacuzzi on the back deck, but I checked it out and it was clean and appeared to be well maintained. The check-in/check-out process was easy, and the communication regarding all things related to the cabin was very clear and covered everything... I forgot to order firewood for the firepit, but a quick email, and it was added to my card and waiting for us when we arrived. If we make it back that way, we would definitely schedule our trip to be able to stay at Chalets at the Lake. Highly recommended! read more

What a lovely find! Our cabin, "Decked Out" was cute and everything was in order. This is definitely for those that want a retreat, not a luxury experience, which is exactly what we went for. We stayed warm at night with the gas heaters (the living room is a bit tricky, but once we figured it out, it worked well), the grill was ready to go, and the hot tub was perfection. Also the picnic table near the fire ring was really great, although a light that shines on them would be nice. I will note that it has a pretty bare bones kitchen. Only a few plates and cooking items (ex: no basting brush for grilling, no colander for washing veggies, lucky we brought all of our own spices) but it was not a show stopper. There are great towns within 20-30 mins. We visited a couple breweries, did a hike, got food from local joints. Overall, it was exactly what we needed. I highly recommend it here! read more

I stayed for three nights with friends in the "Reel Simple" cabin and we really enjoyed both the space and our time there. Michael and Brandi have set up a great space that we were impressed by. The kitchen had pots, pans, and utensils, as well as a full fridge, stove, and microwave. Additionally, we were happy to find that there was a great Char-Broil gas grill (with all grill utensils) and plastic chairs in addition to the fire pit and hot tub. The cabin was so cozy yet had the perfect amount of space for us and the dog we brought with us, and the area was peaceful and quiet, yet within close proximity to stores and restaurants. I really appreciated Michael and Brandi's responsiveness (~12 hr response time max) before and during our stay. The consensus was that we would happily come back again to stay. read more

First, this was our second visit to The Chalets at the Lake and certainly will not be our last! My wife & I had planned to take my parents with us but my father wasn't able to travel due to his health. Even though it was last minute, Michael & Brandi refunded their money. He certainly didn't have to but it was very appreciated! My wife & I took my daughters and ended up having a a great time at the Chalets this weekend! Michael, the owner, was more than accommodating with our last minute firewood request! (If you can't bring your own firewood, I strongly advise purchasing it from Michael. You won't beat the price. I learned the hard way!). The cabin was clean and had everything we needed! We hope to return again before the year ends! Thank you again Michael & Brandi read more

Really cute cabins! great customer service! The owner Michael was quick to respond to emails and answered his phone right away when I called to add another night, ask for more firewood and propane and he even replaced our firewood from the night before that got rained on with dry wood. When we got locked out of our cabin, the cleaning lady came and unlocked the door and also gave us more blankets because it was starting to get really cold. Great location for sightseeing. The fire pit and hot tub were nice to have and there were heaters in the cabin if needed. The cabins were fairly private in the back and it was quiet. My family would definitely stay here again! read more

It was perfect!! Adorable little cabins with everything you need The fire pit is right next to the hot tub, with a beautiful view of nothing but trees and sky as you relax in the water It started raining and it was still nice to soak for a bit before the storm really picked up. The sound of the rain on the roof while warming up next to the gas fireplace was perfect Had plenty of utensils to help us grill and cook the food we were under prepared to do. But they had everything we needed! We stayed at "On the Rocks" and our back yard was amazing!! We will most definitely be back!! We had such a lovely night read more

The owners of the cabin go above and beyond to accommodate their guests. The cabin it's is cute, cozy, and quiet spacious. The hot tub was clean and very enjoyable. Location of the cabin couldn't be better. Right on the lake, and right down the road from the famous Fat Eddie's. I'm not sure why Expedia left a 2 star review on my behalf, as I did not leave this low rating myself, and find it quite alarming that they would ever speak for a customer. As you can see, my review is 4 star and positive. Please don't speak for the guests Expedia. I will be contacting their customer service in regards to this. read more

The Barefoot Retreat Chalet was amazing! Very clean, and the hot tub was ready to use as soon as we arrived. The peace and quiet, and being away with just my partner was so refreshing that we immediately booked a second stay. The firewood we bought as an add on to our stay was delivered right to our Chalet, and we had a cozy fire in the provided fire pit. The only down sides I found were that the beds were a bit too firm, and we should have brought more pillows. Other than those tiny things, it was all perfect! Definitely recommend! read more

We spent a weekend in A-frame state of mind cabin. It was clean, quiet, and such an awesome area! We loved the hot tub and the view of the fall leaves. We were provided many towels and essentials to start out with. It was a very easy process to get in our cabin and the renters provided us with all essential needs. They made it clear to bring other necessities we many need if we would run out. Very close area to hiking trails. Definitely one of our favorite weekend getaway places and great place to stay! read more

The location was perfect. It was close to all of the lake activities that we were planning to do. The cabin we chose was very secluded and it felt very private. The interior was clean where necessary, but items such as the A/C vents, windows, etc were lacking maintenance and cleaning - not a dealbreaker, though. Overall, we would be happy to stay again and would gladly recommend. It had a lot of charm and character as you would expect from a cabin in the woods. read more

LOVED our time at the Chalets at the Lake! Everything was spotless, contact-less check-in made it easy. Private, quiet and secluded - just what we needed for a weekend getaway. There are great amenities - grill, table, firepit, firewood available, equipped kitchen with everything we needed. They provided towels, sheets, pillows, and everything else you might need. All we needed to bring was coffee and coffee filters, and whatever food we wanted. Terrific! read more

Exceptionally clean, secluded lots surrounded by gorgeous woods with a wide diversity of trees, fungi, and wildlife, 10 min walk to the public beach and marina on Summersville Lake, hot tub privacy fences on every cabin, plenty of firewood provided, friendly and accommodating owner and staff. Only drawback was that we didn't have more time to spend here! Would DEFINITELY recommend Chalets at the Lake to anyone that loves to have a great time in the woods! read more

Cabin was quiet, clean and cozy and well situated close to Summersville lake, nearby hikes and other attractions. We loved the hot tub, which was one of the main reasons for booking. Communication with host was easy and we had no issues (self) checking-in and checking-out. Mattress in master bedroom was slightly hard but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend if you are coming to the area to visit the lake or hike nearby. read more

Stayed here for a few days so I could raft the Upper Gauley. Cabin was clean and convenient. Nice, quiet place. I appreciated the internet access. Host (Michael) was great answering some questions I had prior to my booking. Cabin is close to some hiking trails and historic landmarks. One of the recommended restaurants was The Secret Sandwich Society in Fayetteville. I concur w/ the recommendation. Thank you, Michael, for a great stay. read more

We had a fabulous time, the camp was great. The mattress need updated,plenty of hot water We induldged in boating, beaches, lighthouse, parks, and horseback riding. For the rest of the week we brought our harleys, and rode . Super nice owners. Loved it well be back, thanks bunches. The steps to the left were hard to get up and down. Need to vacuum cobwebs. We still had a super time, and thank you so much read more

What a great place to stay! Central to everything you would want to see in the area. After a day of sightseeing, you come back to total peace and quiet! Wake up to the sounds of nature while you have your morning coffee on the deck. Watch deer, squirrels and chipmunks in your back yard. Parking for your boat is there also. Highly recommend staying at the chalets. Very clean and comfortable! 2 thumbs up! read more

Everything was as expected, if not better! Great location for lake recreation and exploring the area. Cabin was clean and welcoming upon arrival, with everything we needed to settle in. The only slight issue is getting out of the driveway due to grade of road. Not enough of an issue to impact our rating. Spent a great week at this home away from home. read more

We had a great time at Chalets at the Lake. The Barefoot Retreat cabin was very well appointed with all that we needed and very peaceful. The owner's are very accommodating. I had to cancel my original reservation last year and they held our reservation rather than me losing any money. We are so grateful because we had a wonderful time! read more

We had a lovely stay! super cozy and comfortable! Communication was great, quick to respond! Gas grill on deck and hot tub, perfect after exploring such a beautiful area! If I were to add anything it would be hangers and/or hooks for coats and towels.. Its close to some beautiful hikes and the whole area is breathtaking! Hope to return! read more
