Unbeatable Location!
This is the second time our family has stayed at this house. The host are great and very easy to reach. We had a wedding at the Ginza state and this location couldn’t be beat. It was close to the wedding venue as well as all the shops and restaurants Fayetteville has to offer. The house is very clean and well furnished. Highly recommend choosing The McGrath house for your next vacation!

Fabulous location, beautiful home
A group of friends stayed here to attend a wedding at the Gaines Estate. The location is prime, with anything in downtown Fayetteville in walking distance (and Pies and Pies right across the street!). We enjoyed time outside on the porch, went shopping around town, and had plenty of space and everything we needed in the house.

This was a halfway point for our family (NC and OH). We've stayed in the area three times before, but this property met our needs very well. Plenty of room, clean, and close to the New River Gorge National Park. Even found a bowling alley close by.

Family get together after COVID
We try to hold a family get together every year or two. There was a several year pause after COVID made it difficult. We found the property and thought it would be a good place to try. The home was great for our needs and allowed us to come together, try some activities in the area and come back to every night. We enjoyed the experience and recommend renting this property for other people thinking of holding similar family vacations.
