Charismatic 4-bedroom home on the New River

The Big House is located in the New River Gorge National Park, the newest national park. There is access to Sandstone Landing's patio alongside the New River. It is a fully furnished home with outdoor seating, a fire pit, and a beautiful view of the river. It is a great starting point for exploring all the beautiful sites and attractions that southern West Virginia and the New River Gorge have to offer.
To get to the home, you will go across railroad tracks, we are near the railroad tracks. It is in a small, friendly neighborhood. You can walk to Sandstone General Store and Eatery to get any necessities you may have forgotten for your trip or get a meal.
If you plan to fish, there is also a bait and tackle store. Be sure to have a WV fishing license to be able to fish, though. The sandstone boat launch is within walking distance of the house.
An extra that we provide our guests is access to the Sandstone Landings patio on the river, this is a shared space with our Sandstone Landings guests. It is just a short walk from the home. The upper level of the patio is equipped with a dining table and chairs. Lower level of patio has outdoor furniture to enjoy the river view or to sit in while you fish in the New River.
Please remember to add your pets to your booking if you will be bringing your furry friends with you. ($50 pet fee)Thank you :)

5 stars – A Perfect Stay at The Big HouseWe had a wonderful stay at “The Big House”! The home was even better than the photos—spacious, clean, and very comfortable for our group of six. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-out instructions were clear and easy to follow. The kitchen had a good selection of cookware, which made meal prep convenient. One of the highlights was the stunning view of the river—we even spotted two river otters playing in the evening! If we’re ever back in the area, we would absolutely stay here again.

Family vacation

This is such a cute house. Very clean and the owners do a lot to make you feel welcome. From cookies to dog treats! My adult family of 8 stayed here with plenty of room and towels! Which always seems to be a problem at other places lol Daughters dog loved the fenced in yard.

Will definitely be back. The home was absolutely beautiful and sitting at the Gazebo while my kids fished was a great time. The host responded very quickly to any questions I had and the cookies they made for us were great (we ate them all). The kids loved it and my Mother did not want to leave. I definitely recommend staying here.

Enjoyed our stay at The Big House and want to return

The house is spacious. Four bedrooms were perfect for our stay. Everything was nice and clean . We enjoyed sitting on the porches and down at the Landing on the river. The colors and weather were perfect. Parking was easy along with check in and check out. The special touches made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed watching all the Trains as well . There was a lot to see and do . Would love to stay again .

Natural beauty

We had a very enjoyable stay at “the big house”. Communication was excellent. It is truly very spacious and was super clean. The fenced in yard was a plus for the dogs and the deck/landing by the river is lovely with gorgeous views. Natural beauty abounds. I highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay

We had a very nice stay. Huge house with four bedrooms. One of them and the lanai have a view of the river. There us also a gazebo next to the river. The place is extremely clean and very well stocked. A little grocery store/gas station close by. Also a Walmart about 20 min away. It was a great base to conduct field trips to see waterfalls, a coal mine exhibit, go for rafting and taking hikes in the beautiful mountain forests.

Ideal Location and home

With 4 queen beds, this was an ideal place for our large family. The closeness of the river access was so nice. We enjoyed the beautiful mountain views making a campfire, the front porch swing, grilling out, going next door to the store for slushies and ice cream, meeting the neighbors who shared their garden veggies with us, and even Fourth of July fireworks on the river! The train was a nice touch, the kids loved being so close and being able to see the coal being hauled and even the Amtrak passenger trains.

Loved it!

Our stay was everything we could have hoped for. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. Plenty of space to run around! The close proximity to the convenience store was perfect for quick snacks or whatever we needed. The owners of the property are incredibly sweet, and even had freshly baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival. They were very responsive and attentive to detail. The train was cool to watch pass by. We went to the national park and learned about the history of the area and the importance of the trains for the area, so we appreciated it.

The Big House Sandstone WV

Spacious and comfortable home on the New River close to many natural attractions and snow sports. Our dog loved the fenced-in yard. There is a train that comes through fairly regularly and it is close and loud when it does. Thankfully, it is usually a short train that comes and goes quickly.

Great visit

we made sure we visited west virginia during fall colors. The house was clean, actually appliances looked brand new. The host must have read our mind since they provided our favorite coffee, cream and sweetener. These jewels had also baked some wonderful cookies. Just ask my husband he almost ate all. The bathroom upstairs was beautiful, with a huge shower. Sure would reccommend!!!

Amazing Experience

I am a demanding customer and was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful experience we had at the Big House. This is a 1920s home with character, close to the river, big/loud trains passing regularly, spacious and laid out in a way this good for gathering. We held an adult sibling retreat for 4 here and our experience was outstanding! Owners added special touches to prep the home and accomodate us, which made it extra special. Will come back.

Riverview

This rental was very nice and well kept. The check in and out process was simple and easy. It is very spacious with plenty of room for several people and has general amenities one is looking for. The only complaint is not with the house but with the location, you are less than 50 feet from train tracks which have trains go by regularly. Other than that the house was great and the location is nice otherwise

Excellent hosts!

We loved the attention to detail from the hosts, from personal messages to cookies and dog treats. They made us feel really welcome. The house worked out really well--lots of room and great outdoor areas. The only thing we struggled with was the noise of the trains from the railroad tracks that were right next to the house. We got more used to it after the first night, and we did use our earplugs when we slept! So that's one thing to prepare for. We had a great weekend!

Great WV home

We loved this house, located on the river next to the general store. The owners are extremely welcoming. Each of my three kids had their own room, which they were thrilled about. The general store had fantastic breakfasts and desserts. The house is right down the road from one of the national park visitors centers. It is not the main visitors center but had very good interactive exhibits that my teens enjoyed. If you are a light sleeper, I recommend packing ear plugs. I couple times a night a train comes through; however, it was for short durations. It is well worth the brief interruptions for the view on the dock. We spent our evenings reading by the river looking at the mountains. This is a unique and special place.

Great relaxing getaway!

A few best friends from high school looked for somewhere in the center of where we all live and picked this home for our getaway. We were a little disappointed with the weather - but absolutely no disappointment with the rental. Walked into a clean and clean smelling house that was more than what was expected. From the cozy living room to the stocked kitchen to the roomy bedrooms, we truly enjoyed our stay. The wind kept us from sitting outside but loved the swing on the porch and the area down on the river to sit. There are trains that you contend with, but it really was kind of cool to watch the coal being moved along and counting the length of them. They did not wake me up at all. Thank you for allowing us to share in your home.

Mom and kids getaway to see New River NP

I love taking my kids (5+ fiancé) on adventures and we went to New River National Park to hike & explore. The house was terrific. So welcoming with the jar of homemade cookies! They had coffee, filters, and cream available! The house was very clean and well stocked and the towels were top quality. All of these things were great, but the best thing about this house was the upstairs bathroom. The renovated bathroom was both large and very accessible for my daughter who has a difficult time getting into regular bath tubs. We had forgotten our bath chair so I improvised by using one of the outdoor chairs in the shower for her to sit on, this worked very well for her. The only thing that the VRBO description didn’t relay is information about the train and how close the house is to the train track. For someone who has a lot of trouble sleeping this might be a deal breaker for them, but I don’t sleep through the night anyway. I would totally come back to this lovely home! (It would be nice to have some extra throw blankets)
