Fun Mothman Themed House w/ Whole House Escape Rm

Come explore this Mothman themed AirBnb and solve the whole house escape room! (You're never locked in, it's just a bunch of puzzles!) Upstairs is creepy, funny, and cozy all at the same time. Downstairs is Mothman Cave with air hockey, PS5, T2 arcade game, and more! Outside has a nice fire pit with swings and a hammock under the deck. We'd rate it PG for scariness, so 5-10 year olds might get nervous unless they dig scary movies. It's ~1 mile of Fayetteville and the New River Gorge Bridge.
