Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
My husband and I grew up Detroit, Michigan and the Detroit River, moved to Madison, Indiana and live 4 blocks from the Ohio River. We purchased a retreat home in Glen Ferris, West Virginia so that we could be near a river. We thoroughly enjoy boating, whitewater rafting and fishing. This allowed us to have a place to retreat, dine out, hike, boat, enjoy nature and the mountains not too far from home. It is about a 5 1/2 hour drive for us and we love our New River Retreat home in Glen Ferris.
Why the Owner Chose Glen Ferris
Glen Ferris, West Virginia is just 45 minutes from Charleston where there are many fine restaurants, antique stores and a downtown shopping malls. Typically we will spend a day in Charleston having fun, a day or two whitewater rafting in Fayetteville, a day in Lewisburg and White Sufphur Springs, a day boating and swiming at New River Gorge Recreation Area and maybe a day doing some horseback riding. We also hope to try the new New River Treetops Canopy Tour that combines bird watching, tree id, enviromental awareness and adrenaline rush on the sky bridges and rappel zip lines.
The Unique Benefits of this Mountain Retreat Home
This rental property is extremely easy to find coming from Charleston, W. Va. We enjoy swimming, boating and whitewater rafting and hiking. Anstead has a very nice walking/biking trail just 20 minutes from the home. There are numerous rafting companies within a half hour drive. The newest tourist attraction in Fayette County mountainside canopy tour and sky platforms. They are available through New River Gorge Canopy Tours (newrivergorgecanopytours.com)
The canopy tour offers high-altitude excitement as you zip along a cable over a one mile area. The views are breathtaking and canop-goers range in age from 20 to senors. If you combine this outdoor adventure with whitewater rafting and/or the jetboat at Hawks Nest State park it makes for a fun and exciting week of fun. The two highly recommended restaurants of Smokey's on the Gorge and The Feedbox and both less than an hours drive away should deffinately be ad added atraction to Fayette County tourist. The Food is great and views are awesome. For the fisherman of your family they are many great fishing areas and waterfalls to discover.
