At night roast marshmallows and tell stories around the campfire. Be sure and bring your fishing gear should you like to fish in your own pond (stocked frequently but whipped out by predators quickly so fish are typically small).

Nice for a short stay, but not any longer than a few daya
The property was located in a great place to see the area of New River Gorge. We were staying for 8 nights but fiund it difficult to unpack as there are not closets and the rooms that do have a closet do not have a bar to hang anything on. It could use a deep cleaning and dusting, windows washed etc. The beds are comfortable but quite squeaky. Like i said nice for a few days but unable to umpack made it difficult to get settled in.

So relaxing!
We were headed to North Carolina and found out our location had to be canceled due to Helene. We reached out very last minute (as we were driving to the area) and the host was so incredibly gracious. The house was super comfortable and in such a relaxing area. We would highly recommend this host and location. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.

Best weekend ever
We came into town for our son’s wedding for 4 days and the owners couldn’t have been more accommodating for all our extra needs with all the wedding extra needs. I would give them 100 star rating if I could. Any question or need was answer or taken care of immediately.

Perfect Location!
Easy straightforward check-in to the property and everything was in great order. We visited to hike and white water raft the location was perfectly situated between the rafting outfitter, Adventures on the Gorge, and the New River Gorge NP visitors center. The hot tub was perfect at the end of the day to relax and rejuvenate for the next day of adventure. PJ was a very responsive host. Hope to come back again next year!!

Great location
This cute little cottage was perfect for a getaway weekend with friends (6 of us was tight but it worked). The location is ideal for anything you want to do in the NRG. The owner is incredibly responsive. The only things we were disappointed with were that there was no shampoo or soap (other than pump hand soap) in the bathrooms (we should have brought our own) AND the pond, while beautiful, is tiny and there was no fishing to be done. Description does mention predators. Also, the bedrooms have nowhere to put clothes —no closets or even a hook on the back of a door. Otherwise, the bath towels were amazing and plentiful. The kitchen amenities were great. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The back deck table and chairs were too dirty to use. Loved the fire pit with firewood provided. We would come back.

New River Gorge Perfection
We loved it so much we booked it for next year before we left. The property has everything you need down to cooking spices and board games. The house is situated close enough to activities that travel time is super short but is also so secluded that you feel like you’re the only family around. The fire pit was a nightly routine. Super clean super well equipped. A 10/10.

Gem in the woods!
Holly’s Pond House is tucked in off of a back road, but very close to all the action at New River Gorge National Park. The house was cozy and beautifully decorated and fit our family of 5 adults. The property boasts a large outdoor space with yard, fire pit, deck, and hot tub. The photos don’t show what a gem of a property this is. I was most impressed with the friendliness of the owners and offers to make our stay comfortable. I would definitely reserve this property again.

AMAZING! It had extra trash bags, dishwasher pods; the things you need to leave it the way you found it. The hot tub was the reason we booked this cottage. It was a welcoming spot to relax after running the 50K in town. The fire pit was a nice way to unwind upon arrival. Thank you for thinking of all the little things. This cottage had raised the bar for all of our future VBROs.

Perfect base camp for exploring New River Gorge
The Pond House was very clean and comfortable. Exactly what we expected from the description and reviews. We enjoyed the hot tub daily after our excursions. You do not need 4WD as one reviewer mentioned. There is lack of storage on all fronts for food and clothing and nowhere to put things in master bath sink area. Since there were only 2 of us it wasn’t an issue and I would not detract a star for that. We also had a fire in the fire pit, used the grill and enjoyed the rocking chairs on the front porch. We would stay again if we came back and highly recommend you book ot if it’s available. Very close to the main visitors center at New River Gorge national Park as well as Adventures on the gorge. We salut the hosts for providing a comfortable, clean and attractive place to make ourselves at home for a few days.
