Walk to Adventures on the Gorge, be at the New River Gorge Bridge in minutes, and come back to a comfortable place to land. Three bedrooms, two baths, fire pit, decks, fast Wi-Fi, and easy access to the trails, river, and Fayetteville.

The Space

You came here for this.

The New River Gorge Bridge rising out of the canyon.
The sound of the river below.
Long days outside that end with tired legs and something cold in your hand.

This home puts you right in the middle of it.

You’re less than 2 minutes from the New River Gorge Bridge and can walk to Adventures on the Gorge — which means your trip starts faster and feels easier from the moment you arrive.

Right where the Gorge starts

Adventures on the Gorge — the area’s main hub for whitewater rafting, zip lines, rock climbing, and aerial obstacles — is a 0.3-mile walk from the back door.

Canyon Rim Visitor Center is 1.2 miles away, about 3 minutes by car.

This isn’t marketing math — it’s the actual location. You’re at the top of Ames Heights Road, right at the edge of everything this region is known for.

The Stay

Originally built as a coal camp house in 1945, this home has been thoughtfully renovated into a comfortable, well-designed place to land after a full day in the Gorge.

It keeps a sense of where it came from — while giving you everything you actually want now.

3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms
Bright, open living space designed for relaxing together
Fully stocked kitchen for easy meals at home
Fast WiFi when you need it

Comfortable, clean, and intentionally put together — the kind of place that feels good to come back to.
No washer or dryer — pack for the adventure, not the laundry.

Outside

This is where your evenings happen.

String lights on. Fire going. The air cools down just enough to make you stay out longer than you planned.

It’s quiet here. Easy. The kind of space that doesn’t need much to feel right.

Swiftwater Café is about 350 feet from the door if mornings call for coffee you didn’t have to make.

What Your Days Can Look Like

Coffee on the porch. Slow start.

Then out — trails, river, overlooks, whatever kind of day you came for.

Back in the evening, a shower, something good to eat, and time outside while the light fades.

The kind of days that feel full — without being rushed.

Who It’s For

Couples here for a few days of real adventure.
Families who want less driving and more time outside.
Small groups who want a place that feels easy and well set up.
