Small local place with lots of great people and a great outlook on how to have a good time in the mountains. Our guide, WolfMan, was very familiar with the local area and gave us lots of great recommendations for things to do and see. The trip itself was relaxing, with a few fun rapids, perfect for kids 5 and up. We stayed on site in two of the three cabins. West Virginia adventures is an excellent up and coming outfitter for the area and I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a more personal, non commercialized trip, with good people.

This whole experience was great, top to bottom. Everyone in our party felt our guide was excellent the entire way, and the experience itself was first class. The safety precautious were well detailed, and everyone had a excellent trip. We'll be back again for that Level V rafting trip!
