WOW! FANTASTIC! Our family group ranges from
age 5 to 70. We all had a wonderful time at your
lovely rental.
Allowed us the peace and quiet of the country but
gave us plenty for the 4 kids to do...paintball in the
maze (some adults too), pool table, ping pong, tv
and movies. The EQUIPPED KITCHEN...was the best
of any rental! We cook and appreciated it very
much! We took in quite a few of the sites in the
area...Beartown State Park (no bears seen ) but 3 of
our group did see a bear on the side of the mt as
they came back and took pictures to prove it; Droop
Mt. Battlefield State Park (last significant Civil War
Battle in WV); Snowshoe Mt; Cass Scenic Railroad
(one family rode to Whittaker Station 1 1/2 hour
trip); a couple of families went to Cranberry Glades
and the visitors center (kids loved the snakes); we
all visited the National Radio Astronomy
Observatory...well worth the trip. Ate lunch (great
food and ice cream) and one family took in the Pearl
Buck Museum. Visited antique shops, an old
bookstore and the 4th Avenue Gallary which had
shops in Marlinton and Cass. Had a great fire
builder with us so enjoyed a fire on the porch each
night with smores. Yum! Even had a bonfire one
night roasting hot dogs and smores (of course). 5
yr old was quite taken with the cows that wandered
down the road and said the white face one was
watching him. Ran to window every 5 mins to see
what they were doing and let us all know. On our
way home we drove the Highland Scenic Highway. I
forget what a beautiful state we live in. Wonderful
time at Top of the Ridge and want to thank you for
lending your lovely cabin to my family for a brief
time. It is beautiful and would be splendid to visit in
the fall with all the colors. Recommend Top of the
Ridge very highly and hope to visit again.

We were a group of 12 (friends and couples). Everyone
really enjoyed their stay. The weather was so cold and
snowy, but the house was warm, inviting, and cozy.
The house and views are beautiful and unique. We
cooked every morning and night, the kitchen had
everything you could ever need. They also have a great
DVD selection and every board game you could think
of (something for everyone, even kids). We would most
definitely come back!

What a great place! You cannot beat the views and the comfort of this location. The owners were extremely organized & responsive regarding any queries before & during our stay. The cabin is well-maintained, clean, and the perfect place to relax. We had a fantastic vacation with our two small children (just keep them away from the loft railing as the gaps are large enough for them to fit through) and friends. The hot tub was a big hit for kids and adults alike, as were playing the piano, doing puzzles, picking blackberries on the tree-house path, playing Frisbee, flying kites, kicking the soccer ball around, & blowing bubbles in the huge yard. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils, pots and pans. The cabin would be great for small or large groups, with enough room to spread out and enough seating for large groups to gather together in one spot too. The large deck was our special haven: the kids could run around and play while we read books or sipped drinks. We had a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend this location to any family looking for a great place for kids to play and adults to relax, and for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Thanks for your hospitality and we hope to vacation here again soon!

Great views from a beautiful cabin. This cabin was just wonderful, there were 8 of us and we were able to spread out. The kitchen was a dream to cook in, and that deck with the covered fireplace was great! The one night we had a slight rain it didn't matter we still sat outside by the fire! I can not praise this cabin more, if possible we will be back next year.

We just got back from another amazing snowboarding weekend. Such a fun fun time. Love the new hot tub that they put in last year. I think we spent more time in the hot tub than we did snowboarding. House is amazing. Always feels like home when we return every year. I would HIGHLY recommend this house for people looking for a rental. Thank you again to the owners!

Very lovely and pleasant. Our main purpose was to bond and relax. We stocked the cupboards and refrigerator with all kinds of food. We did go to the local market to get the ingredients for Smores ! !

From the Guest Book: This was our first vacation in the mountains. We had mixed sunshine, fog and some rain. It's all good and some things take a little time to get to them, but the ride is very scenic so it doesn't really matter. We went to the Green Bank Observatory(Get an soft ice cream here and a ham wrap, they're the best), the Cass Train ride, Seneca Caverns, Chair lift ride to the lake, horesback riding, paintballing in the backyard maze.

From the Guest Book: We had a mix of beautiful sun, torrential rain and clouds. We went to the water chutes at Whittaker Falls, bungee jumping for the kids at Snowshoe, sat on the beach at Snowshoe lake. We set up an obstacle course in the yard and also collected frogs for our one and only "Frog Olympics" We visited the Green Bank observatory and took the teenagers over to show clay pigeons.
All in all, Whittaker Falls on the Elk River was the best !!

From the Guest Book: We came for the week in 2 cars and 1 plane. The weather was mild in the upper 70's mostly and one day of non-stop rain. We read, played games, watched movies, sat out by the fire, hiked, canoed, napped outside. We went to Pioneer Days in Marlinton and rode the Cass Train. We had a big outdoor scavenger hunt. We loved the Elk River Restaurant, lighting fireworks, canoeing at Snowshoe and making S'mores !!

We came to ski and have fun. We had big trucks, 2 SUV's and one car. There was 33" of snow when we arrived and at least 8 more inches fell while we were here. We watched DVD's, tried to make a snow angel, but the snow was too deep, relaxed in the hot tub, played lots of pool and ping pong. Slept a little and played a lot. We went 4 wheeling by accident, do do that, it's hard to get out. We took a wrong turn out of the driveway, make sure you turn right out of the driveway.

From the Guest book: Ski-Annual trip. Played Cranium, cards, ping pong, pool and partied. We all drove in 4 wheel drives. It snowed 2 of the 4 days we were here and it was very windy at night. We made a fire outside for the smokers and warmed ourselves in the hot tub.
The dark beer made by Budweiser but is like Guiness at Misty's at Silver Creek. Mud pies at the store at 219/66. Our favorite meal was 2 fry baskets at the Top of the World Condo while still in ski gear. A special highlight was the crazy guy who jumped from the lift at closing to get one last run in.

We drove in 1 jeep and the rest SUVs. It was cold, sunny, snowy, blizzard like and awefully cold. We skiied, snowboarded, drank, ate. We sang Karaoke and I use the term sing loosely !!. BBQ'd in the snow, made a fire in the outside fireplace whenn it was 15 degrees out. The men needed to show they were manly. We saw a very large black and white poka dotted Great Dane name Jake.

I must say that it was an absolute treat staying at Top of The Ridge. It was perhaps more that expected. There was an awesome view and the property is beautiful.It was quite relaxing for the family and we are already discussing when we will return.
