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 :)

River trip

The house is great, comfortable & big enough for a family or group of friends. It was clean had the essentials & good towels & linens. The shared patio area on the river is nice, you can't beat that view. The check in was easy, communication was fast & very helpful. They gave us a warm welcome & even made cookies for us. It is very close to the sandstone falls area & Hinton. We found a place close by to rent kayaks & had a great time on the New River!

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!!!

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

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.

The BIG house is indeed spacious and was extremely clean! We enjoyed grilling and sitting out on the upper and lower deck/patio. The river view is calm and serene! Although the owners are very transparent about the train noise (…it was indeed loud and numerous!), I wish there was more transparency with the proximity to the General Store, which includes a gas station. The lot is one and the same—with reserved spaces for guests closest to the house. That being said, the communication with the owners and cleanliness was the best we’ve experienced with VRBO, and we enjoyed our stay in WV!

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.

Family reset

The house is perfect and the space is completely immaculate. To be clear the front porch faces what looks like a gas station but actually is a country store ran by the nicest family. The right side of the house offers gorgeous river views. We were comfortable we absolutely loved our time down by the river. We had a fire we went fishing. It’s one of the best family trips we’ve taken.

This house is a gem!

We lived our stay here!! The house was absolutely spotless (cleanest place I’ve ever stayed in) and loaded with charm! It was very comfortable and well-appointed. We especially loved the sitting area by the river. The location is close to Hinton for any of your creature comfort needs and close to Sandstone Falls. It is a ways from the bridge and those surrounding attractions but it was an easy 30-40 min drive there. The only minor issue was the nearness to the train, which was loud at times (of course!) but even that had its own sort of charm and fit with the whole experience. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to explore the area!!

Girls Getaway

My three girlfriends and I had a two night getaway at this gorgeous house. The inside of this home was so well maintained and beautiful. You can tell the host puts a lot of effort into making the renting as comfortable and home-y as possible! There is one bedroom on the bottom floor with a half bath, which was perfect for my friend who broke her leg the week before. The host was very quick about answering the numerous questions our group had, and their patience was much appreciated!The home’s location is easily accessible off the main road and a general store is about 100 feet, making it easy to pick up things you forgot. The location was great for all the hikes we managed to squeeze in during our stay. While there is a railroad directly next to the home, with some heavy sleepers or earplugs, it is truly not a problem as there are only one or two trains after dark. This was a great home, and I highly recommend it for larger groups! Next time we are around this area, we will absolutely be booking it!

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.
