About this property

Close to everything Whitewater!!! Inground pool-hot tub-fire pit-basketball ct.!

The Gingerbread house is located just 7 minutes from the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve! and just 15 minutes from West Virginia's newest State Park (Summersville Lake State Park).Come stay with us and enjoy your home away from home with a million dollar view!!!!!!!!!

Our home can sleep up to 14. But groups of 8 or10 are our norm and seems the best fit .The Gingerbread house is located in the center of farming and basically a retirement community. We have a paved circle drive with lots of parking and lots of parking for your boat or extra vehicles. We have an over the air antenna and we have excellent cell phone coverage in our area.

We have a fire pit with lawn chairs by the pool. We supply the wood for 2 nights

We have a large inground solar heated pool and a 4 person hot tub in the pool area with a cabana with a table . chairs and a small fridge for drinks. There is also a radio.

This is our 11th year as a host with vrbo and we are geared more towards families with kids and grandkids that use our home as a central location for a family vacation. Travelling from all locations and distances you will find that our home is in the middle of many popular vacation sites and activities. Thank you for looking over our listing and please call with any questions you may have! Pat and Debbie Kesler (owners)
last but not least. we provide pillows for the beds but our guests are to provide their own bed linens for their stay. We adopted this practice during covid and have kept it as it seems to be well accepted by our previous guests. WE HAVE REDUCED OUR PRICE BY 100 PER NIGHT SINCE WE ARE NOT SUPPLYING BED LINENS, FOR OUR WHOLE CALENDAR YEAR!!
