We are conveniently located directly off Route 60, the Midland Trail, on 16 very private acres in the New River Gorge area of Fayette County, WV. We are 10 minutes to Babcock State Park, 15 to the Endless Wall Trail and Beauty Mountain, and 20 minutes to the New River Gorge Bridge and Canyon Rim Visitors Center, and 30 minutes to Summersville Lake State Park and the Gauley River. The scenic New River Gorge National Park and Preserve offers countless exciting outdoor activities, including whitewater rafting, rock climbing, stand up paddle boarding, fishing, horseback riding, tree top canopy tours, zip lines, boating, hiking, coal mine tours, bi plane tours, jet boat rides, and train rides, which are all within easy driving distance. At the lodge, we offer farm tours during which you can learn about small farm life by joining us as we gather eggs, feed and water farm animals, and pick fresh, organic fruits and vegetables from the gardens. We also offer indoor classes in sustainable living, such as baking artisan breads and pastries and canning and preserving the harvest. We also have a mile long hiking trail through the woods to a fishing pond, playground for the young ones, camp fire pit with plenty of seating for your group and free firewood, and yard games for you to use. Otherwise, grab a good book in our library and relax in the rocking chairs located on our spacious 1,300 square foot front porch or on our third floor porch overlooking the farm. If you can dream it, you can do it here in the New River Gorge area.
