We rented 4 quads from these folks for 72 hours. I think we put over 20 hours on them during that…read moretime. First off, the equipment was top notch, from the trailers to the 650 can am quads themselves. They were extremely burly, had 4WD and winches but in reality didn't need either except for the most challenging terrain. They are super fun 2 seaters though nothing broke down so we didn't need to put anyone on back. If you did have a break down though, you'd be in good shape. These things even have 12V cigarette style chargers which was great for 3 nights of camping in the boonies. Brian and mike even provided a plug kit in case we had any issues. The amazing trailer was very easy to load and was right sized for the quads so everything fit just right. We tried not to damage the equipment, but a few things happened that were above general wear and tear. Honestly, we all agreed that the charges after were fair, something like 10% of the total which included a destroyed helmet that was brand new. All in all we had a great time, with great equipment, and Brian and Mike took care of us so we will be back next year. Please be nice to quad 1, I want it back, it treated me well.

Very bad experience, within the 1st 15 minutes a person in our party got stuck and the guide did…read morenot know how to properly pull the UTV out, he tried to pull it thru the mud making it stuck worse instead of pulling it out backwards the way it got stuck. Then they wanted to charge me for a belt and not return my $1000 deposit. We were charged for the deposit and the the cost of the trip. I tried for 2 months to reach Brian, he would never call me back and the only communication i had was through his assistant, it was very frustrating. Needless to say i would not recommend Appalachian Adventures.

We had a younger nervous 11 year old rider on a horse that was not behaving. The trail guide went…read moreto try and hook up to her horse and it caused the horses to nip at each other and our young rider got even more nervous. The situation was not handled quickly or correctly as it was happening for a bit before she addressed the problem. The trail guide gave no instructions on how to handle the horses before we left. We were lucky we had all ridden before and already knew. There was no talking by the trail guide during the ride except once to tell us to lean forward going up a hill and then once to tell us to lean back going down a hill. We had a fun time but there definitely could have been more communication and information given with the horseback riding. We also had two people ride an ATV and they had a great experience and lots of fun and learned a lot about the farm and area we were in from their trail leader.

The family was super welcoming and very friendly. Especially Elizabeth. We were hoping for speed…read moreand adventure but this is slow steady ATV ride. All the same we had a ball.
