About this property
1 mi NRG Bridge / Walk to Trails / Fire Pit Deck
Adventure starts here! This stylish 3BR retreat in Ames Heights is your modern basecamp—just 3 minutes (1.2 mi) from the New River Gorge Bridge and Canyon Rim Visitor Center. Walk to Adventures on the Gorge, then relax by the fire pit under the stars. Bright, cozy, and adventure-ready—perfect for couples, families, or close friends exploring New River Gorge National Park.
Welcome to your New River Gorge basecamp — where comfort meets adventure just steps from the Gorge.
This updated 3BR, 2BA retreat in Ames Heights blends local history with modern design. Walk to Adventures on the Gorge, the New River Gorge Bridge, Swiftwater Cafe, and climbing trails — then come home to unwind around the fire pit under the West Virginia sky.
Highlights
- Walkable to rafting, ziplines, and a short drive to Canyon Rim Visitor Center and iconic New River Gorge Bridge
- Private deck with propane fire pit for stargazing
- Full kitchen + Smart TV + fast Wi-Fi
- Three cozy bedrooms (2 queens + full/twin bunk)
- Driveway parking & easy self check-in
Inside, you’ll find bright, welcoming spaces reimagined from Ames Heights’ 1940s coal-camp homes — clean lines, soft textures, and a relaxed mountain vibe. The living room invites conversation, the kitchen is stocked for real meals, and mornings start perfectly with coffee on the deck.
After a day on the trails, kick back by the glow of the fire pit or stream a movie inside. Whether you’re a couple reconnecting or friends chasing adventure, this is the easy, cozy, and close-to-everything home base that makes your Gorge getaway unforgettable.
Ask about off-season specials — fall and winter bring quiet trails, cozy nights, and lower rates for smaller groups.
