"This is a quiet lakefront community with access to the state park. Various trails lead to the water and are never closed. Various trails go into the woods for walking and others for ATV access."

"The neighborhood in Blueville is a great place to walk your dog and it allows the owners to enjoy socializing with the neighbors. What also makes this area special and safe is all the neighbors watch out for each other ❤️ Which is rare these days........ "

" The Valley Falls area is very nice. You are next to some of the best waterfalls on the east coast surrounded by vast forests yet just a short drive to Fairmont, Morgantown or Grafton. Anytime I have a chance it is nice to have a picnic or go for a walk by the falls. Anytime I have friends in the area I always take them there and they always amazed. Lived here for a long time and probably will never leave. "
