Has anyone stayed at the Fiddlers Roost that is next door to the Purple Fiddle?

Thanks

3run, perhaps I should have asked what they thought of staying there? What did your friends think, was it clean?

No complaints that I heard, however these were guys that rode enduro/dual sport bikes on long trail rides. They were more concerned with the food and beverages than the sheets and linens, lol.

I like the Purple Fiddle, and my wife an I will be seeing some of their shows, but I doubt we will stay there.

3run, LOL we have reservations at CV resort and their rooms are about on par with motel 6, which I can live with as long as it is clean! I think we are going to the PF for new yrs eve and even though we do not drink we are just a wee bit worried about the drive back to our room! Sharing the road with others who do drink, and just wanted some info on that guest house.

I think it would be an experience for you to stay at the PF instead of CV.

I wouldn't mind staying there myself and I really don't think my wife would mind either. Have you ever been to the PF? It's really a good place. It's eclectic in the sense it's a neat blend of artsy/hippie/folksy/mountainish place. Perfect for WV in my opinion.

One of the guys that works there had a few busted up ribs doing a tabletop on his dirt bike, lol.

My kids like it there too

Okay I just checked their site- you're staying at the house, not the hostel.. GO FOR IT!!! I thought you may be grunging in the hostel, lol.

Oh and last time I was there I had a bowl of fresh homemade chicken soup and a jalapeno turkey wrap- it was the best, freshest wrap I've ever, ever had. It tasted like the veggies were just plucked and washed from a garden

My wife and I were staying at the lodge at Blackwater this summer and visited the Purple Fiddle and had a great evening. The entertainer was a former contestant on The Biggest Loser. His name was Dan Evans and that night he played with a group called Coal Train. I would return there next time we go the valley. I bought a CD for $5 and it was well worth it.

I highly recommend the Purple Fiddle for the atmosphere and entertainment. What food we ate was very good as well. Can't say that I would stay anywhere with a shared bathroom, today.
