It is 3 miles from I 64, so in Minutes you can go from a quiet relaxing cabin to our little country cafe, Sandstone Eatery, shops, stores, and all of the tourist places listed above.. it sleeps 8 with 2 bathroom but has a loft that if you want to bring your own blowup mattress for the kids there is enough room for 2 full size ones, so you just went from 8 to 10.

Lovely house with wrap-around porch facing the river. Close to RR tracks if that bothers some, but had a good time there despite the rain (which made the porch even better).

Host replied promptly every time we communicated. The house is absolutely adorable and quaint. Very comfortable, full of personality. Feels like an old school river cabin, but with hot water, plumbing, and internet!There's a surprsing amount of room to sit around the table and use the kitchen bar as well. Also, two living areas, one upstairs and one down. The kitchen is super well stocked, and there are plenty of linens. The location is perfection. We would absolutely return to spend more time in the area, we were only there a short time so we went south to sandstone falls and then north to canyon rim. We will plan our next trip to the area around the availability of this house.

This was a return visit for us to Al’s Place and once again we enjoyed every minute of it. If you like the river, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better location. We got hit with mostly rain but the screened-in porch made it possible to be outside and dry near the water. Great hosts, clean place, all you need is there. Thanks for having us!

Great WV vacation

We had a very nice time at this property. The wrap around porch was great sitting in the evening and relaxing. The river is right there and has a nice calming effect. The upstairs area was nice for reading and watching a movie. Everthing you need is available. Ellen was very quick to respond and answer all questions. Really had a nice time. Only surprise was how close the train is.

We had a wonderful time. It's so quiet and peaceful there. The train was an extra perk. It was amazing to see how long some of them were. The river was a little high due to rains but it was nice to just sit and watch the geese bob down the water. Would definitely stay there again as it's located in the perfect spot to visit the many the states beautiful sights. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Very quiet, except for the trains...

The cabin is nice and secluded with a big yard and a private view of the river. We enjoyed sitting by it. The cabin is pretty well apportioned but I think it could use a good going through and throwing things away that are not needed anymore. The owner was very responsive to questions via text message. I think the biggest thing to know is there is a very active CSX train line right next to the cabin. It's very quiet when no train, but far from it when there is.

Beautiful place on the New River

We didn’t have any problems. Enjoyed the screened in porch so much. We had rain on and off but would have enjoyed yard games but we didn’t see any. Also during the rain times the puzzles that were provided were to difficult. Things for different age groups would help. No one can control the weather. Loved the place and would stay again.

Cozy Cabin on the River!

We loved our stay in this cozy cabin for Thanksgiving! It was a great location for visiting New River Gorge National Park, and my children loved having the river in the backyard. We made a fire in the fire pit and ate hot dogs and s’mores, cooked up Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen, and enjoyed our days hiking. We had a great time! We want to come back in the summer to have more opportunities to do things on the river. Cabin was stocked with utensils, plates, cups, etc. I always said my kids could sleep through a freight train, and it looks like I was right. When the trains passed by I was the only one who stirred. :) Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely backyard by beautiful river + trains

I wanted a Covid-safe place by river for leaf peeping in autumn and he wanted trains, so this cabin fit the bill. It has a bank of windows all along one wall, looking out onto the huge front porch and beyond that, to the backyard that stretches all the way to the river. The house is nestled in the valley, with a mountain rising sharply in front so the views are beautiful. About 6 to 8 freight trains come by every day, on a rail right behind the house. Pretty cool. Easy drive, only a few miles off interstate 64. The pictures don’t show the house to full advantage. There is an open layout with a nice kitchen, and a a large family room up the spiral staircase with a huge TV and full size bunk beds. There is a small café serving breakfast, sandwiches and deserts nearby, but you’ll need to bring most of your own food. Definitely check out Grandview National Park nearby with mountain ridge views of the river below and nice hiking through the woods.

New River Gorge

The home was very nice and spacious for 2 friends. The setting on the river was beautiful and we enjoyed beautiful weather. The proximity to the New River National Park was perfect. We kept very busy each day of our stay. The kitchen, baths, and bedrooms were all well stocked for our needs. It would have been nice to have a "heads up" as to the proximity of the train tracks. The trains that went straight through were not really an issue...kind of fun to see (and hear). Not sure if this is a "usual" event but 3 out of the 4 nights we were there a train was stopped on the tracks behind the house the entire night with its diesel engine running. That was sometimes difficult to ignore. If a person was a light sleeper, they would have been agitated. We ended up not needing the heat turned on but we couldn't figure out how to turn on the heater that was in-between the living and dining areas. The directions in the notebook were not clear and/or we couldn't figure out what was supposed to open on the heater??? Maybe a picture in the notebook or a label on the heater? We thank you for your timely communication regarding firewood (which we ended up not being able to use due to the fire ban - thank you to your neighbor for giving us this heads up) and check in information. Will definitely recommend your place (but with the warning about the trains) to friends/family. Thank you. Beth

Special vacation

Al's place is excellent. We have stayed 3 years and plan to go again. The interior has everything you would need. The yard slopes right down to the river with a fire pit and this year Ellen had some outdoor chairs to set around the fire which made that really nice. The screened in porch is wonderful with swings, chairs and a grill. We cooked in two nights and drove into Hinton to eat at The Market one night. We took our two small dogs and great yard for them to run in.
