    Always a treat to stay at Chestnut Ridge

    April 22, 2013

    A night or two at Chestnut Ridge has become an annual event when we visit family in the area. Larry and Paula make us welcome and comfortable even when the wind is howling and the snow is blowing. Their hearty, hot breakfasts feature local specialties, and the coffee and hot tea is bottomless. We like one room in particular with its two big reading chairs. This is the place to stay when you visit Pocahontas County, WV.

    Wonderful farm house, great hosts

    September 14, 2012

    We stayed at Chestnut Ridege in late August and it was in the center of all that we had planned to do on our vacation to West Virginia. 3 days in, we hit a big challenge, when I slipped on a trail and broke my leg and tore a ligaent in my ankle. Being confined to a wheelchair since I don't have great balance and was non-weightbearing on the leg turned me into a difficult guest. They were super! They found me a wheelchair, and were able to make it easy for me to get in and out of the house, and made sure I was comfortable and had all I needed. Paula and Larry are super hosts, and we want to go back when we can finish the hiking we had planned to do the first time!

    A very peaceful and relaxing stay

    August 28, 2012

    I stayed at the Chestnut Ridge in for a week during a recent business trip. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The home made breakfasts (usually made with local ingredients) were excellent, down to the finest details (like warm coffee mugs). Highly recommend.

    Lovely place with great service for a getaway in the beautiful West Virginia

    July 02, 2012

    The Chestnut Ridge Country Inn offers the ultimate quite paradise away from the city buzz. The beautiful house and the most welcoming hosts Paula and Larry provided the most pleasant stay in this beautiful part of West Virginia. It felt like home! Thank you. Eli & Dragan

    Great find!!!

    June 25, 2012

    We were celebrating my hubby's birthday and needed a place near the Cass RR. After reading many reviews, I decided this was the place to stay. Was NOT the least big disappointed. Larry and Paula were friendly and accommodating.....even trying desperately to find us a special place for dinner for my husband's birthday. Our room was lovely (Snow Ridge). It was warm and cozy with a HUGE bathroom!! Everything was SPOTLESS!! Breakfasts were really good....not gourmet, but very tasty and hearty. Rooms are reasonably priced, but what really makes it a great value is the second night is half price!!! One bonus: I was fortunate to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.......I was just yards away from the "end of the rainbow." Most amazing experience!! How many people can say that? I would definitely recommend this inn for anyone staying in the area.

    Simply the best

    May 25, 2012

    We have traveled a lot of places had some good hotels and some bad. But never had a stay like this one with Larry and Paula they pay great attention to detail. Before you leave you will feel like family. They also had all the info. on attractions in the area. And nothing better than ended your day with a fire and a wonderful view of some amazing mountains.
