| "Southern Hospitality" by: Anonymous | @ 02:24:30 pm on January 13, 2008. |
Three friends and I decided to ride the Hatfield Mcoy trail system at Matewan West Virginia on our all terrain four wheelers. We trailered them up to a crew cab pickup and set out for an adventure in the Appalatian mountains. Our expectations of the experience were set very high as we were driveing 16 hours from New Hampshire to West Virginia. When we arrived we found the riding itself to be spectacular, chalenging beyond our expectations and well organized into novice intermediate and expert trails. What we had not expected was that the time off the trails would rival the riding as the best part of the trip. The town itself was ATV friendly, (meaning we enjoyed the novelty of riding our offroad machines on the street), extremely scenic, with the mountains, coal mines, railroad and flood walls, and extremely historically interesting, home of the Hatfield Mcoy feud and the Matewan Massacre. But none of that is the best of Matewan, WV. The best is absolutly the Historic Matewan House Bed and Breakfast. Upon our arrival we were greeted by name by our hosts Pat and Sharron Garland. The ammenities included hot tub inside and out, Giant projection screen TV in the beutifull hardwood and fieldstone livingroom, and even a pressure washer for our muddy ATVs. However the most unique and outstanding thing we found was the warmest of southern hospitality. Every day we were there began with a lavish brekfast buffet prepared by Pat in his chefs hat and suspenders. Every time we came in off the trails we were instructed to just leave our caked and muddy things by the washer and Sharron happily washed and folded them for us (Try and get my wife to do that!) Evenings were spent happily watching up to date movies on the giant screen or my favorite thing wich was to just play cards with and listen to Pat talk about his interesting career, local history, and what it means to be, as he proudly identifies himself, a hillbilly. When we left we were sincerely told "Now you have friends in West Virginia." We are already planning a return trip.  Report this comment as offensive | |

| This is the place that it all started for us. We came as visitors and left as family members. We came to ride the trails on Memorial day weekend back in 2004 from NY and NJ. We instantly fell in love with the area and the people. We decided that it would be a great idea to invest in the town by buying a home and transforming it into an ATV lodge for other visitors. We could have never done this without the help of the Garlands. Pat " Pappy " Garland helped us through the process, and his wife Sharon helped to keep The Boars Nest looking great. Without their help and assurances, we never could have done what we did from 700 miles away!! Pappy, Sharon and the rest of the Garlands, we love you guys !! This is a family who really wants to see the town grow and become a great tourist attraction as it should be. After all it is " The Birthplace of the Hatfield McCoy trail System " Since our first visit, we have met many great people and have made real friends in Matewan!! Report this comment as offensive | |
| "The Best Place by Far!" by: Defevers & Friends | @ 06:55:11 pm on August 19, 2008. |
| Our first trip to Matewan was in July 2006. We had the best experience ever there. It started with a recommendation from a friend and a phone call to Pat Garland, there were six of us coming from Louisville, KY area. After the five hour drive there, we were greeted by Sharon Garland, and then by Pat Garland and Scotty. The riding was awesome! The bed and breakfast was just as awesome. Nothing beats being able to ride the trails during the day, and sit on the front porch with Matewan neighbors and other visitors, drinking a few beers and playing guitar. The hospitality was the best we have ever had, anywhere. We couldn't wait to return. So, in September 2007 four of us went back. We were treated to the same great food, the same great hospitality as before. We are currently trying to plan our next trip out. Report this comment as offensive | |
