Wonderful experience. Clean room and friendly owner. Small family owned motel with updated rooms. Very nice and clean. Only small complaint was $90 for the size of room. The room was quite small for the price, i had to bring stuff in and take it back out to fit. Still a 5 star from me for sure! Would return if im ever in the area again. Recommended.

Our room was very clean. I believe they are remodeling their rooms. Our room (#2) included: Two full beds, restroom with a shower, a mini fridge, microwave, low dresser, TV, coffee pot, & coffee. The owners are very nice! Would definitely stay here again.

Small family run motel south of the New Gorge River National Park, if you're looking for something in that area. My room was small, but clean and had everything I needed. It was nice to be able to go on the back deck behind the office and watch the Greenbrier River flow by and see the trains pass just above that on the side of the mountain. I think they have kayaks if you want to attempt that on the river. Like I said, family run - I believe they just took over the place a few years ago - and they are in the process of redoing all the rooms, so there are some imperfections, but it was a great value for what I paid and it was very convenient to where I wanted to be. Friendly and communicative owners. Be sure to look through the local business binder they have in the room, you might find something totally excellent to try!

Beautiful rivers edge inn is exactly what this name means!. Beautiful view of the river and mountain side from the relaxing deck that is just feet from the river. This is one of the most picturesque places I have ever stayed and very reasonably priced. Our Hosts Liza and Jason treated us like family upon arrival and even treated us to a evening campfire. This place is not only a treasure of Beauty but a place to remember those who share this Beauty with others. Thank you again Liza and Jason for your outstanding hospitality!.
