Quick post gauley review: A group of 8 all chipped in this weekend to avoid the drunken kayakers and actually try to get some sleep on a cabin that is part of the Carnifex Cottages in West By God Virginia. While $195/night is a bit steep (in my opinion), plus taxes, splitting this 8 ways works out to be a pretty decent deal. We stayed in what is considered a 3-bedroom (2 bedrooms plus a loft) that was really adorable and fit the 8 of us and 3 dogs pretty well. There was a king in one bedroom that attached to the deck, a queen bed in another bedroom on the main floor, a couch on the main floor and two twin beds up in the loft along with another couch. Came with a full kitchen, a 2-person hot tub on the deck and a small grill on the deck. They also had a ton of firewood for the fire pit that was awaiting us that we never ended up using. The location was also pretty good. It is about 5-10 minutes to the upper and 20 minutes to the festival. All in all, if I had a big group to split the cost with, I would certainly go back. Check them out.
