New River Railhouse: Historic 3 bed on the New River Gorge - New for July 2025
Attention train lovers! Enjoy the elegance of Hinton’s past in our lovingly preserved 1916 brick home, across the street from the Hinton train station and steps from the historic downtown.
Spend the day hiking in New River Gorge National Park, Bluestone Lake or Pipestem Resort State Parks - all within 20 minutes - and spend the evening listening to songs on our vintage jukebox. Relax on one of the three porches, listen to the river and watch the trains, while petting one of the friendly neighborhood cats!
The New River Railhouse is 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, located just across the street from the Hinton train station and adjacent to the train tracks. There are outdoor spaces galore, with a front porch, complete with porch swing, screened-in porch, and a lovely deck.
The house is filled with vintage furniture - including a (mostly) working (and stocked) CD jukebox. There are board games, books, and a few records, plus a kitchen stocked with all the things you need to cook a relatively elaborate meal. We have tried to provide anything that guests may need during their stay, but please, let us know if we missed anything.
In terms of beds, there is a king and two queens, all with new mattresses in 2025.
We bought this house in 2025 and plan to continue to improve it, with help from our guests. We thank you for considering our home.
Please note, because of our proximity to the train tracks, there is train noise. We provide earplugs, should you need them, and recommend the smallest bedroom for lighter sleepers.
Also, guests should at least tolerate cats, as there are several friendly ones who like to visit. Our neighbor, Joel, fixes and feeds them, but they think of our porches as a second home. They do not come inside (for those with allergies), but do like to say hello when guests are outside.
Dogs are allowed with a $35 pet fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful house to stay in for 3 nights as we spent the days hiking our way through New River Gorge National Park. The historic downtown section of Hinton was nice to walk through; there are several restaurants and shops we checked out and all of them were great. I should also mention that the house was so clean and well stocked, and my kids loved interacting with the friendly neighborhood cats on the front porch. Thank you to Carmen for providing us a place to make some wonderful memories. Hopefully, one day we will be back.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. We loved the big dining room table and played Mexican Train on it. The owner is attentive and goes above and beyond to please.we would gladly stay here again.
The host was very responsive which was helpful when I arrived. The house is beautiful, well-kept, and very thoughtful in amenities. Very fun location to see the river and watch trains go by. It’s also easy to walk to the downtown area. It felt like a home away from home.
They have porch kitties and a bin of toys for a dog, though we didn't have pets with us. The location is convenient to shops in town but the house also had everything we needed to prepare basic meals, including spices/oils etc. A choice of porches to hang out on was unexpected. The beds were comfortable and plenty of room to move around. Considering it's an older home, the shower intensity was an initial concern, but in the end, it was just fine. The train station is right there, but having lived near a train for many years was not a huge concern. My husband/son didn't wake up once when the train went by at night and I ended up using hearing protection, which they provided, and slept soundly after that. Very attentive host. I recommend highly!
Check-in was super easy. I received a message with the code and instructions a couple days prior to check-in. The kitchen was equipped with most things you would need.
The host was quick to respond when we had a problem with a door lock. The historic house was perfectly appointed and close to downtown Hinton. Back patio a great place for nightcap and morning tea. Extra touches such as gifts of homemade soap and chocolates chip cookies were sweet. Providing extra plug in’s for phone, etc charging was very helpful. Towels were plush. I would definitely stay here again!!!
We truly enjoyed our stay at this house! The historic charm - not only in the house, but also the whole town - was perfect for a history buff like myself. The house was cozy, charming, and clean. The host was welcoming, polite, responsive and helpful!I recommend visiting the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine in nearby Beckley (approx 45 min drive from the house) and the breathtaking New River Gorge National Park! There's also a charming little railroad museum and antique store located right in Hinton. We would 100% stay here again! Thank you!!

Thank you Sarah! You are welcome back anytime - and we plan to check out the Beckley Coal Mine on our next visit!
My daughter and I really enjoyed our time in Hinton and the house was great. We were able to walk through town from the house and explore the New river with a short drive to a public ramp. The weather was amazing with highs in the mid 70's during June with mornings that felt more like fall. The host was pleasant and prompt in communication and we had no issues with our stay, we would absolutely return.

About the host
Hosted by Carmen Reed
I live in the Washington, DC metro and work in grants management. I grew up in Appalachia and am always craving the mountains - so much so that my family and I bought a house in the New River Gorge area of West Virginia.
Why they chose this property
Downtown Hinton is quaint and charming, with lively - and delicious - restaurants, cute shops, historic buildings, and even a restored theater! The house is just steps from all that historic downtown has to offer.
What makes this property unique
The house is beautiful - it was built in 1916 and has been taken care of lovingly ever since. We have tried to think of our guests' needs as our own, as we use the house as a vacation home. We hope that you will find our house to be an inviting and relaxing second home.
