About this property
Mountaineer Cabin 5 - 3 Bdrm with Hot Tub close to New River Gorge National Park
Rustic cabin 7 miles from New River Gorge Bridge in a secluded wooded area. This charming 3-bedroom cabin sleeps 8 with two queen bedrooms, a full-size bedroom, a sleeper sofa, & 2 full bathrooms. Full kitchen with open living room. Amenities include private hot tub, grill (propane & charcoal), and outdoor fire pit. Large front deck has rocking chairs beside hot tub. 10-minute drive to Adventures on the Gorge (AOTG), 12 minutes to downtown Fayetteville, & 25 minutes to ACE Adventure Lake.
Our cozy, quaint cabin includes two bedrooms with a queen bed and a bedroom with a full size bed. Living room area has pullout couch and multiple chairs with a 50in smart TV. There is two full bathrooms in the unit. We provide towels and linens. Shampoo, conditioner, & body wash is provided. The living room & kitchen area are open with a dining table perfect for groups of 6-8. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove, oven, refrigerator, coffee maker, and basic cooking utensils. Basic cleaning supplies are provided under the kitchen sink. Each cabin has internet, air conditioning, & parking right beside unit.
Cell phone service in this area may be spotty. We are located in rural West Virginia which has its advantages & disadvantages. Starlink has recently been installed in this cabin with significantly better internet access being reported since installation.
This cabin has its own private, gravel driveway and is out of sight from all our other cabins. Please note that this gravel driveway has a slight incline that some low clearance, 2-wheel drive cars could have issues with during snowstorms. We do plow during the winter and significant snow is fairly rare but worth noting.
We do not have a washer/dryer listed on our amenities, however, we do have a shared washroom with washer/dryer that guests may use when it is not in use by our cleaning staff. This room is used as a staging area by our cleaning staff to service all 6 of our cabins. During the day at least one of the washer/dryer units is typically in use by our cleaning staff, if not both. Both are generally open during the morning & evening. The wash room is located beside cabin 1, has two washers/dryers, and has laundry supplies that the guests may use free of charge. Please note no washers/dryers are in the cabins. The facilities are available as a curtesy to our guests.
Each cabin has its own private hot tub. We empty, clean, and refill our hot tubs after each stay. For this reason, there is a chance that the hot tub will not be up to full temperature immediately after checking in, especially if a guest checked out that morning. It generally only takes a couple hours at most but may be a little longer during the colder months. Please do not push hot tub buttons attempting to heat it quicker. Hot tubs have many locks (kid,eco etc…). You may lockout or shutdown the heating process by pushing the wrong button.
All of the cabins have an outdoor fire pit area with a picnic table. Firewood is not provided but is sold at Walmart, Kroger, Lowe’s and the Exxon station by I19. This cabin has a propane grill on the front porch with propane included. Additional propane tanks can be found at our shared washroom area next to cabin 1 in a closet next to the entry door.
We do allow well-behaved, small-medium sized dogs (50 pounds or less) for a $50.00 additional cleaning fee. No cats. 2 dogs maximum. Guests are expected to dispose of their dogs waste before leaving. There is an outdoor trashcan near the walkway of the cabin. All pets must be listed on the reservation when booking and housebroken. Failure to include your pet in the reservation will result in fines.
Our cabins are less than 10 minutes away from the newest National Park! The New River Gorge offers world class whitewater, rock climbing, mountain biking, ziplining, hiking, fishing, bird watching, and more! The gorge provides some of the most beautiful scenery on the east coast. Fayetteville West Virginia, voted top 10 coolest small towns in America, is a short 15 minute drive from the cabins and has lots of great local restaurant options. Our welcome guide includes food and activity recommendations during your stay.
Please note that we have a fairly strict cancelation policy. This includes changes to the reservation dates outside of the cancelation period. Feel free to reach out but if the request has short notice or involves a weekend reservation it is unlikely we will be able to accommodate the request. One of the only remedies we will offer is a refund if someone else rebooks the same dates as your reservation. Our rentals are booked nearly every weekend so allowing a date change or short notice cancelation generally results in us losing a reservation we would have had otherwise. For this reason, we recommend purchasing travelers’ insurance through the app if you expect you may have an issue.

We had a great family getaway. The cabin is very clean and a perfect place to relax and getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub so much. We enjoyed the restaurant recommendations from the host. Thank you for an enjoyable and relaxing few days for our family!

great place. secluded and private. beautiful area the views were amazing. hot tub was nice on cool evenings
This was a great place to stay! Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there! Got to have some quality time with my significant other and enjoy being super close to the town. With lots of hiking options near by!
It was as advertised and a great place to spend a long weekend! Convenient location but a little hard to find, even with the directions provided. Would stay here again.
Location is very close to National Park entrance. Paul did a wonderful job with communication and was very responsive. Clean and comfortable this was a great location to meet with friends and enjoy the outdoors.
Lovely secluded cottage minutes from New River Gorge activities
This 3-bedroom cottage was lovely! We were back off the road, with a view of the woods. The cottage was very well equipped, and immaculate. Plenty of towels and pillows, clean and user-ready hot tub. I would absolutely stay here again.
Although about 5 minutes from Rt. 19, the location of the rental has a nice forest view from the deck with no neighbors in sight. The floor plan accommodated my group of five well and, upon arrival, the cabin was exceptionally clean- it even smell nice. If it is important to you, the outdoor are was every bit as nice as the cabin itself.
Nice place but didn't relieve the highway was right above/behind the cabin (in the photo). Not too much road noise but occasionaly you could hear it. Nice big place, great hot tub!
Overall, the stay was great. The cabin was comfortable, there was hot water, plenty of towels and pillows, and most comforts and necessities of home. The cabin was difficult to find but the owner was accessible and helpful. The floors and small bathroom rugs could have been cleaner. My only disappointment was that the listing included a washer and dryer in amenities but neither were present. I did not bring enough clothes with me and had to buy some at Walmart. I didn’t have the time to visit a public laundromat.
This cabin worked out well for our family trip to the New River Gorge area. The distance to the Canyon Rim visitor center and Fayetteville was perfect, just 10-15 minutes. The other park visitor centers were further south by 30 minutes to around an hour and a half. So this isn’t a central location for all of the park, but it is close to the main canyon viewpoint. Our main issue with the cabin was the lack of signage at the long driveway for our cabin, number 5. The owner sent a detailed explanation with directions, which was appreciated, but still caused some confusion and a few tries to find it because the driveway is shared with another private home and is very unassuming. A sign at the driveway would have saved us a few minutes of backtracking.
As others have said, we did have difficulty finding the place. I read that they aren’t allowed to put up a sign but maybe have some other type of landmark or something placed near the driveway?
The cabin was nice and clean. The hot tub and fire pit were nice. Internet was spotty but we made do. My only real complaint is that the 2 back bedrooms smelled strongly of mold/musty. I didn’t look in the crawl space under the cabin but I assume that’s where the smell is coming from as nothing inside was wet or had visible mold.
We had a wonderful time and no complaints about the property!! Just a few things for others considering or staying at this property…1. It is right beside the main road. It wasn’t a big deal and the traffic noise wasn’t bad especially not at night. 2. Turn the hot tub temp up as soon as you get there if you want to enjoy it your first evening. 3. There are some carpenter bees on the deck that are a little intimidating at first but completely harmless 4. There is only 1 television and it is located in the living room. 5. Despite an earlier review the road is fine. Our car is basically a sports car and we had no issue getting to the house. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again!
This cabin was absolutely perfect. It was clean, cozy, and made for such a relaxing stay. We loved the peaceful atmosphere and felt comfortable the entire time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable getaway
This was our second stay at the property. It’s rustic, super affordable and located in the heart of all the New River Gorge activities. The property is in the woods and secluded which is exactly what you want in a cabin stay!
Place was exactly as described. Directions to place were a bit confusing, road noisey at times and there was some trash in the woods. Other than that everything was GREAT!
Nice, very clean cabin centralized to everything. Beautiful views and hiking. Lots of restaurants to choose from and all very good! The host was very accessible and quick to respond. If we had to give any negative, it would be that 2 of the beds were full size not queen. Need exterior lighting for going down deck stairs outside.
