Lots of space for us to relax and unwind while enjoying the hot tub, gas fireplace, heated bathroom floor, fully appointed kitchen and high-speed internet. Separate from the cabins, we lucked out in our choice of weekends in that nearby Davis, WV was having their fall festival which provided additional things to do in the area. But even without that, there would have been plenty to do.

My wife and I have stayed here 3 years in a row and we absolutely love the area, lots of trails for hiking, a near by Golf Course at Canaan Valley Resort, Seneca Rocks are close by for day time activities. The towns of Davis and Thomas are also close by with tons of good shops, breweries, and restaurants. We absolutely love this part of the country. The cabins have everything you need whether you want to stay in and cook in their fully equipped kitchen, all you need to bring is food & drinks! There are even Charcoal grills at every cabin and the Jacuzzi hot tubs are perfect to pass the mornings & evenings away. Our cabin Serenity had a pool table and bubble hockey game upstairs. Plenty of DVD's, dish network tv, puzzles, books, and some games. The beds are a little firm for our taste, but that is really the only negative that I have. Not ridiculous but just wish they were softer. We can't wait to go back next year!

We stayed onsite...The cabins are amazing... all pretty new, rustic yet contemporary. They're all like Airbnb's... with porch's, indoor/outdoor showers, heat, toasters, fridge, sinks and almost everything you need. The ceremony area will blow your mind, the cocktail hour teepee... awesome, and the reception tent... fun. You're still very close to stores, the lake, restaurants/bars but the property feels so private... If you're able to snag this property as one of the 10 they do a year... do it! believe me you will be amazed. We had the best time, shout out ox for all the help and support throughout our stay.

The details and design of the cabins are truly charming. Amenities such as coffee and soap are locally sourced.

We genuinely enjoyed our time at Blue Moon Rising and can't wait to return!

Photos were deceiving for our view for the back porch. There is a large chunk of property that is…read morenot owned and fenced off. The furniture in room 1 was terrible, from the seating on the front porch not being in good condition to the recliners being very worn down and not easy for our elderly parents to get out of. The dining room chairs you could tell had been repaired many times and not the safest to set in and there are only four dining room chairs as it is. The queen bed in the room we slept in was flipped for some odd reason to the bottom of the mattress being at the head of the bed and it is stated in the rules to not move furniture. The mattress was so hard and uncomfortable. Upon inspection there is alot of dirt and such at the head of the bed between mattress and box spring. The mattress cover on this same bed was torn and wouldn't really even stay on the bed. There were used toiletries left in the restroom I'm assuming from previous guest. A air hockey table was listed as the amenities but when our boys went to play it there is no power cord so not usable so be aware that's not a plus. The legs on the air hockey table where very wobbly as well. Upon arrival also there is a written notice of the abundance of flies which to a point is understanding but then it's very noticeable that they are being attracted by the trailer that is loaded down with trash that's sitting at the office. It is not very professional when the only way you can reach any staff is pushing a ring door bell. A plus was the hot tub but yet you could tell when the jets were not on it was not very clean.

Such a cool place…read more My family and I (two adults, two kids) stayed in the Gathering Tree. It featured three beds, a master bedroom with a private deck, a large main deck, a spiral staircase, a dining room table, mini fridge, hot plate, two futons, kitchen utensils, a small TV with DVD player and coffee making equipment. There are lots of places to lounge both inside and outside the tree. Outside the treehouse there is a fire pit which we used for s'mores and potatoes. There is a place to purchase firewood right on Ella's property. The property has a .75 mile trail through the woods with numerous animal discoveries along it. My son and I enjoyed trying to find them all and predict what would come next. The property also had many fairy gardens around it. There is also a fort building area giving families many options to do outside. Ella's is an awesome, upscale nature experience in the Deep Creek area. We will definitely return during our next visit to Deep Creek.

I love getting away and being surrounded by nature and this by far is the place to do just that. We stayed at the gathering tree... inside and outside the tree house exceeded our expectations. As soon as we stepped in we felt relaxed and excited. We explored some nearby state parks, enjoyed a fire outside, sat on the back deck to drink our morning coffee, went for walks, played games and enjoyed just being in a treehouse! Cannot say enough about it!

The cabin across from us had a group of men who were drunk, loud and obnoxious and nothing was done. The owners live right below that cabin and had to have heard them because we were the only other cabin occupied. We wanted to spend a long weekend just relaxing and couldn't sit outside not only due to how loud they were, but the obscene language that was used. Also, I know it was off season, but we couldn't even go for much of a walk on the grounds due to horse manure all over the place. Area was nice, but we wouldn't be staying there again.

The information sheet on the refrigerator says it a privately owned unit and the owner pays a fee for cleaning, yet I also got charged a $75 cleaning fee. Who gets this money and doesn't clean??

We arrived on a Saturday and noticed dozens of dead cluster flies around the main window. It was obvious that no one had been in the room for weeks and then when we saw numerous mouse droppings, we were out. We offered to move to a new room, but they were sold out so Melissa the Mgr offered us a refund. When I emailed to get that going, I had to fight with her to get it. After many calls/emails, she returned a small fraction of what we paid. We would never stay here nor purchase property knowing that BB resort would be managing it, terrible in all respects.

A group of 16 of us booked for the weekend and I honestly can't think of enough great things to say. Seriously, everything about this place was AMAZING! I organized the trip, so I got to work with one of the owners, Jesse, to get everything set up. He was helpful, responsive, accommodating, and really kind. I organize a lot for my friends and myself, and this was one of the easiest. Upon arrival we were checked in by the other owner, Gary, who immediately made us feel like we were at home. He gave us a wonderful tour of the property and told us everything we needed to know for a wonderful stay. This property is nestled in the hills of WV and the views are STUNNING! Every space and room is beautifully appointed, really leaning into the upscale rustic vibe you'd expect in a mountain retreat. So many beautiful nooks and crannies to sit and read or play games or just nap. The pool and hot tub are gorgeous and Logan at the pool bar will take amazing care of you! They provide a complimentary breakfast of freshly cooked eggs, meats, and biscuits/scones. The lunch and dinner menus are varied and everything we had was delicious. Our servers, Rain (spelling ??) and Angie were stellar and the ambience was just perfect. Every single one of us left feeling refreshed and we were all sad to leave. Do yourself a favor and make the trek out to Lost River and treat yourself. This place is amazing and I'm already planning my next trip here with my partner.

A winding road through a rocky valley with a mountain stream that flows to the Lost River. Then you turn into the Guesthouse and the stunning main building and cute cabins are so perfectly placed on the property with lovely landscaping. Walk into the main lobby to be greeted by Gary, one of the owners. He was super pleasant and took us on a tour of the property pointing out the dining room, bar, pool (although it was still closed for winter), hot tub and sauna, gym, multiple media rooms, game rooms and lounge areas, and then our room in the Hobson Cabin. The room was well appointed and clean. The shower was beautiful and had great water pressure and temperature. The balcony had wonderful views of the parks close by. A country breakfast is served daily at 9 and is a great start to the day. The dining room is open in the evening for drinks and dinner with a menu for anyone! Gary and Jesse are always close by if you ever need anything and make you feel most welcome. We can't wait to visit again in the summer so we can make full use of the pool and enjoy some nearby hiking!
