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 :)

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.

Good location, very spacious and clean, old home with many amenities. We especially loved the large kitchen and grill. River access is in walking distance and it's easy to drive to various sights in the New River gorge from the home's location. The general store next door has great breakfast and essentials you may have forgotten to bring. The home is on the rail line so bring earplugs!

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.
