The Top of the Town - Large comfortable dog friendly home. Fish, Hike, Float!

The best view in town! The property is at the top of a hill and has a great view of downtown Historic Hinton and the New River, from the front porch. It is spacious, airy and bright. A 103 year old Victorian that is as quirky as it is charming. Large kitchen and dining room for those of you who want to eat in. Large open living room with smart TV for relaxing and taking in a movie, or spreading out for your morning yoga sesh! Namaste! 🧘🏼

We offer three bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen bed and window a/c unit for a comfortable night’s sleep(in season). But we can also accommodate a 7th person if they don’t mind sleeping on our couch (pillow, linens provided. Not a pull out couch). Two full baths and washer and dryer available. We are happy to host your dog, for a fee, and have many supplies to meet their needs, as well as a fenced-in backyard for easy in and out. We are not accepting multiple dogs or any other animals at this time.

The property is the 2nd to last house on a dead end street. We are at the top of a steep hill with forest behind us. It is a nice private location, with a fantastic view from the front porch. The driveway can accommodate 2 cars, 3 if you’re “creative”. Backing out can be a challenge, backing in is easier for some.

We are located 11 miles from the New River Gorge National Park Welcome Center, in Sandstone. We are 7 miles from Sandstone Falls, minutes to Bluestone Lake and Bluestone State Park and about 20 minutes to Pipestem State Park. The Greenbrier, Bluestone and New Rivers all converge just minutes from the house for some first class fishing. One day fishing licenses can be purchased online at the WV DNR website or at WaterDawg Outdoors which is less than 2 miles from the house.
Other attractions:
We are 32 mins from Grandview
We are 63 mins from the Canyon Rim Visitor center and the NRG Bridge and Bridge walk.
66 mins to the Endless Wall Trail
75 mins to the Gauley River put-in
75 mins from Hawk’s Nest State Park

Golfers! There are 7 great courses all within an hour of the house; Pipestem at the state park, Black Knight in Beckley, Elks in Lewisburg, Woodhaven and Glade Springs in Daniels, Fountain Springs in Peterstown and the PGA course at the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs.
For winter visitors we are also just over 15 miles from Winterplace if skiing, snowboarding and tubing are more your speed! Lewisburg and the WV State fairgrounds are about a 40 minute drive. There are also things to do right in Hinton!

As per VRBO rules we are required to disclose the use of an outdoor security camera at the property. We have one device in the upper corner of our porch that surveils the driveway, steps and entrance to the home. For our peace of mind, and yours!

Thanks for checking out Top of the Town. Book with us and you won’t be disappointed.

Sweet spot at the top of the town

If Hinton and the surrounding area is where you’re going to be, this place is ideal. It felt like home from our first day till our last. The bedrooms were so comfortable, the kitchen was perfectly set up and the front porch was so great to relax on after a full day. We’ll be going there again on our next trip to Hinton.

New Year’s

House was very charming and still had so much of its original character. The beds were very comfortable and the porch was enjoyed by all. We were a group of 6 adults and the seating in the living room was not adequate. At least 1 other chair would have been nice. The location was great and close to many activities.
