They were so nice to us there, and the food was unbelievable (So many thanks to Kathleen for packing us up some of those delicious muffins on our last morning with you!). The room was wonderfully comfortable and the peace and quiet was just what we needed! We were walking distance from the entire downtown area and got to enjoy meandering the streets late at night (completely safe!) A little word of warning to folks from the big city though: Shinnston pretty much rolls up the streets at 6pm. Might want to get your dinner (or something to eat for dinner) before then.

Ralph knows everybody and everything that goes on in his campground. From the nighttime rounds to the fireplaces of each site to delivering firewood and ice with his John Deere Gator. Great guy but don't try to be an idiot... not tolerated and you'll be leaving the property immediately. This makes this place the best place to stay anywhere on the Cheat River. Quiet, peaceful, well run and everyone we have ever met has been great. Again, idiots are not allowed. This campground even has the only recorded sightings of West Virginia Blue Mountain crab. Ask Ralph real nice and he might show you something that only a few have seen, or even know exist!

I had heard great things about the Preston County Inn while talking with some friends one night…read moreover dinner, so of course I had to give it a try as soon as possible. For some of the places I visit, I do some online research of the menu, dress code, and what to expect when I arrive at the restaurant. I reviewed the menu beforehand, so I knew I was ordering the Ruben sandwich with fries and some bleu cheese dressing on the side. Also, I noted online that the website said it was "casual fine dining", which caused some concern about how to dress, as I have been known to underdress a bit at times (for the past three years t-shirt and shorts have been the clothing of the day). So, I went in fully casual mode - shorts, t-shirt and sweatshirt. All of which were perfect, as it is totally casual. While the website uses the term "casual fine dining", the dress is casual. What I didn't expect was the layout of the restaurant or an appreciation for the age of the primary place of business. It is a pre-Civil War home in Kingwood, WV. It has had some additions over the years to make it into a functioning inn and restaurant. My first thoughts upon entering the location was "eclectic", but the décor grew on me as I enjoyed my lunch. Now on to the food: I ordered the Ruben sandwich, that is a favorite of Chef Stephen Clemens (we had a second or two to chat). He mentioned that the restaurant is as locally sourced as it can be, and the sauerkraut came from Roger' Farm, which is local producer of the cabbage. I really enjoyed the Ruben, and I can say that the ingredients were fresh and well prepared. French fries were cooked perfectly, and you could taste that they were freshly cut. The food is great. I know this is dragging a bit, but overall, I will go back to try many of the other dishes on the menu. Who knows, I might spend a night at the Preston County Inn.

My husband and I were on a genealogy trip in the summer of 2018 and had a memorable two night stay…read moreat the Inne at Watson's Choice as we searched for ancestors stories in the area. Our hosts couldn't have been kinder or more helpful! Not only did they prepare perfect meals, and have a lovely room, they told us about the history of the inn, and helped us find local genealogists who could help us on our search. After all, they are on Balsinger Road, and I was looking for Balsinger ancestors! :-) We enjoyed walking around the beautiful property in the evenings. They had to laugh when I asked if there was any place nearby who sold rocks. I told them I liked to save rocks from places that are meaningful to me. I explained that my part of Texas has few rocks but lots of clay. They were still smiling when they said "we have a great big pile of rocks out back, so help yourself!" (I really wanted just two) I thought that was really sweet and thoughtful! I was very sad when I read the really negative review of their B&B and of them personally. They were nothing but kind to us. We love B&B's and always try to be guests that would be welcomed in someone's home, and give our hosts as good an experience with us as we would like to receive from them.

This review is based off of my experience of staying at the Inne for one night in July. We also had…read moreour wedding ceremony and reception here. First, some of these previous reviews are a bit harsh. I would like to mention that the innkeepers, Nancy and Bill, do run an extremely tight ship here at the Inne. With that being said, the moment you step on the property you would understand why. The outdoor areas are beautiful, and impeccably well maintained. Once you walk inside, you will notice antiques galore. There is nothing about this bed and breakfast that is overlooked or not taken care of. It's extremely clean, and they are still taking covid percussions. As you book your stay you will notice that this isn't a "Hampton Inn establishment" Nancy, the innkeeper keeps track of everything on her own, mostly with pen and paper. Nothing here is done at morph speed, and based off of other reviews, it seems as though some guests take this the wrong way. When you arrive, the innkeeper will meet you in person and ask you what you would like to drink for breakfast the next day and if you would prefer a 8AM, or 9AM dining time. This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, so I didn't really know what to expect. We stayed in the "Laurel Suite" which is also known as the honeymoon suite. It was $199 for the night, and most certainly worth it. The bed was giant, with a huge sitting area and private bathroom with jacuzzi tub. I was really pleased with how quiet the Inne was, we slept great! It was tough, but I managed to plan for all of the other rooms in the Inne to be booked by family and friends staying for our wedding, this was one of my favorite parts of the whole weekend! Just being able to be together for the wedding, know we were all safe, and then eat breakfast the next day was amazing. We also took full advantage of the beautiful firepit outside, we sat out there pretty late and just enjoyed the peace and quiet of the surrounding farmland. The next morning for breakfast I was very happy with what the innkeepers prepared for us, again, it was Nancy and Bill making the food and bringing it to our tables themselves. They do it all! Beautifully presented stuffed french toast. This wasn't an optional meal choice, but they did ask if each guest wanted sausage or not (which appeared to be high quality) Ultimately, our stay was great. We had a wonderful wedding and a wonderful stay. The area itself, although it may not feel like it on the property, is still in Uniontown PA which is a very slow paced town (I can say this, I grew up here) Uniontown is a very old school town, and for the reviewers to say they are not welcome here, I could understand the feeling but also would like to say as the bride who booked the entire bed and breakfast, spent lots of money, and stayed here... I still didn't get the "Hi, so happy you're here" feeling from the Inne. The personalities here are quite serious, and to the point. I am telling you, don't take it personally. Their home is attached to the Inne, and they take everything that happens here very seriously - along with who stays here, they just care deeply about the Inne, and after staying and seeing how involved they are, I can understand the personalities described a bit more - they're busy people, trying to keep this place in perfect shape. If you are someone traveling from out of town, visiting Ohiopyle, or other destinations in the area - this is a wonderful, beautiful, quaint place to stay. Don't expect anything to be "at your finger tips" like we tend to do these days, booking here is like you take a step back in time. To me, once we got through the booking and planning, everything was smooth sailing. Rooms are nice, clean and affordable - and breakfast is provided! The outdoor areas may not have a pool or anything, but there are hammocks, 0 gravity chairs, and other nice perks. Please be mindful when booking, I would ask if there is a wedding going on that evening - you might not have the peaceful stay that I described in my review (since we were the ones up late that night and there was no one else staying at the Inne)

Luxury experience…read more... Nemacolin is a place of awe offering so many amenities, views, activities, and much more. I stayed in the Chateau which did a fantastic job of integrating its artwork throughout while complimenting its architectural design. It felt as if I entered a historic museum. Butler service started the moment you get past the security checkpoint at the main entrance. Car valeted, bags to your room, and a bath can be ready for you. All and I mean all of the staff were super friendly and hospitable. There is a cigar lounge and shop that has a decent selection of spirits and cigars. Outdoor seating is also available on the massive patio area which connects to the lobby bar. For the sake of exclusivity I did not post the room interior. I did stay in the king bedroom which had multiple chandeliers, fully digital control operated lighting, curtains, and tv from the iPad. There was a proper coated iron tub which your butler is willing to make for you. Just call and request. The toilet was definitely what you'd expect in a luxury room, Fully automated, climate controlled seat, adjustable water temps and pressure, massaging, UV light, and several other features. In short walk up to it, handle business, still wipe yourself, and walk away. The shower had plenty of space and offered the waterfall/overhead feature most ideal for washing hair. The bed was comfortable and cooling. I do recommend ordering from the pillow menu. As a bonus there is a sweet treat brought to your room every evening. There is a menu for wake up call and refreshment service in the morning. Make sure you put the time in thirty minute increments. When I doubt rely upon your butler service. The housekeeping provided was excellent and comically enough it seemed everything I got out the bed and left I came back it was fully made. I was very appreciative of that. Don't worry about the PJ's landing and take offs. The noise cancellation in your room is more than adequate. 5 out of 5

We stayed in…read more"The Homes" (2-bed, 2.5-bath), which felt like upgraded ski lodges and worked perfectly for a family layout. However, parking at our lodge was a constant battle as staff members frequently took up guest spots. The resort has fun, quirky artwork and a great commitment to sustainability (the bee sanctuary was a highlight), but it is a mixed bag overall. The animal exhibits left us feeling a bit uneasy, as the animals seemed depressed. Service was also inconsistent. While the staff was generally nice, it was clear they need better training on luxury guest hospitality. Service took a major nosedive during prime dinner hours, and bars frequently ran out of signature ingredients. The dining was our biggest letdown. At Fawn & Fable, we were plagued by fruit flies/fungus gnats during dinner. The cocktails were easily the best on the resort, and the prime rib was good (though unmemorable), but my brother's steak was completely overcooked. Gusto!, the Italian spot on campus, was fine but ultimately forgettable. Nemacolin is an interesting place with plenty to do, and I can see it being a magical winter wonderland with snow. But right now, it lacks the execution and polish to justify a luxury tag.

The pools and hottub are a nice touch as well! As with any place that's been around for 100+ years, you can't expect perfection. The rooms are old school and purposefully lack common modern hotel amenities - such as a microwave or fridge. I also note that my bathroom had a steady stream of little ants on the floor/sink vanity. Didn't impact my stay, but if you are looking for things to whine about you are likely to find them. I strongly recommend Summit Inn so long as you know/acknowledge that staying in a place like this will have minor drawbacks but in its totality is a unique and pleasant experience beyond a place to lay your head at night! Thanks for having me!

Also, arrive on time to check in. Don't come early and don't come too late. They won't check you in early, even just to secure your spot. come later and lose your spot, lose your money. Very old-school back asswards, "not my fault" process and policy. We went there last weekend to stay there after a wedding. We booked it online from a click through on their website. We booked a large suite with two beds and a pullout for $258. We tried to check in at noon, but they wouldn't accept us. We told them we wouldn't be there till after 10 PM and they still wouldn't accommodate. We arrived around 11 PM and tried to check in but they had already given away the large rooms so it's a good thing we didn't have my kids with us or they would've had nowhere to sleep!!! They actually told us that the booking online is not their problem, not their fault or responsibility to make right. And let's talk about that front desk service. I don't know why I had to wait so long so many times, but I did. And they did not refund us for using the smaller room. So rude. What a horrible little enterprise. the historic charm was lost on me from irritating and poor service!
