Beautiful home in the gorge

The house shows some wear inside and out but overall is a nice roomy home with plenty of places to sit and relax. It is advertised as sleeping eight, which it does, but there’s only two full baths, one in the master bedroom and one shared by two bedrooms. The fourth bedroom has no direct access to a bathroom, having to use the half bath downstairs or when the other two when the bedrooms are vacant. As we were two families, this arrangement was ok. The kitchen and dining area are large and well lighted, unfortunately, this is where we encountered two issues. The glass stovetop was cracked making one of the four burners useless. Sadly, no one before us told the host until we did. The other issue involved ants coming in through the kitchen window and crawling around the sink. Fortunately, one of our group was able to stop and get ant killer which solved our ant problem. I sent a message to the host about the ants; he got back to me the next day saying he has a pest service treat the house once a month. Two days later the pest guy came and treated the house again and someone came to take a photo of the stove. All in all, we had a good time as the house is centrally located in a quiet area and offers a great view of the mountains from one of the two balconies.

The views were fantastic. Most rooms had balcony deck right outside of their doors. Perfect for early morning sunrise viewing with favorite cup of coffee. We live in the city where we don’t fully see stars. So it was a treat to see a full blanket of stars. Even saw a shooting star. There were 8 adults and the house was so spacious that no one felt cramped.Plenty of space for private moments. We are birders and hikers perfect area for those activities.

Comfortable beds, A/C, plenty of warm water and LOTS of space for 8 people, and a well stocked kitchen was exactly what we needed to explore the parks. Very close to Hawks Nest (don't miss their rail trail!) and a short drive to New River Gorge National Park. Perfect layout for 4 couples. Enjoy family dinners around that dining table. Go whitewater rafting with Adventures on the Gorge, eat at Secret Sandwich Society and Pies and Pints in Fayetteville. Explore all of NRG, see the views and enjoy the foliage. Make the drove to Nuttelberg because it is worth it. And the view from the balcony of this house is spectacular! Quiet street right off the main road. Ron is very responsive, a perfect host. Take care of his home that resembles a charming bed and breakfast on the inside.

What a wonderful way to end the summer! The house had plenty of space, and we enjoyed both the front and back deck. The kitchen was very well stocked, which was great as we cooked every day. The location is close enough to groceries, whitewater rafting, amazing hikes, etc., but still tucked away enough to feel a bit secluded. We loved it!Our only suggestion would be to provide two keys to the house in case the group breaks up.
