Great location, great property - I will try to stay here again
We really enjoyed our stay at Highland Manor. We were a group of early-40s professionals from the DC area and New River Gorge was our "friends trip" this year. It was awesome! Highland Manor is located very conveniently in Oak Hill, which is surprisingly walkable - we loved how close the grocery store was when we realized we'd forgotten to bring some spices for chili. There's a pleasant rails-to-trails walking/cycling path very nearby which was great to get a little bit of exercise while away from the gym. Rafting on the Gauley or New River, hiking out to Diamond Point, all of that is a very short drive away. Great location. The house itself was perfect for us (we had seven this year), with plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. The table was big enough for all of us to sit around and eat or play board games, the living room was plenty comfortable for watching a movie, and we took advantage of the fire pit on a beautiful October night. Loved it. It is worth noting that, as an older house, sound travels. There is no door on the downstairs suite, accessed via stairs near the kitchen - an early riser making coffee is likely to wake a light sleeper in the downstairs suite. In summary, this place was great and just what we were looking for - I hope it's available next time we visit the New River Gorge area.

Family Getaway...Bridge Walk or Bust!!!
The property was perfect for our family group of 5! We loved the character and cleanliness of this home. It was spacious and so organized. The location was in a nice, quiet neighborhood and perfect for our visits to New River Gorge National Park (Bridge Walk, Hiking) and restaurants (Secret Sandwich Society was so good!) and breweries in the Fayetteville area. There was plenty of room for our group to relax in the living room and play cards and other games in the dining room every night! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this property!!

The perfect family home!
The house and host were great! We are a family of six and our family plugged right into this beautiful historic home. The house was extremely clean and tidy, everyone found their space and settled right in. The location was so convenient! We booked several adventure with “Ace Adventures” and the house was only a few minutes from the resort. It was also close to the free way giving easy access to all that the new river gorge has to offer! There were a few local coffee shops within walking distance Pistos was our favorite. Our family made good use of the Spacious back patio and fire pit. The host was awesome, very well organized and supportive, I would highly recommend this home when you visit the new river gorge!

Lovely Place
We came to Oak Hill to do some family genealogy research. I wanted to visit some cemeteries and other places my ancestors lived etc. What a wonderful place to stay while we visited! It was just as described. There was plenty of space for a larger family! We did not cook here, but they had everything that you could need! It was clean and spacious. The boys loved the ping-pong table. We enjoyed the backyard and the huge lightening bugs! We did not use the fire pit, but it was available. We felt safe in the neighborhood. Our stay was short, only a few days. But we tried to do as much as we could in the short time. We ended up visiting a lot of historical sites in the area, which was really cool! We highly recommend that you get out and see what's our there! It's close to Fayetteville so you can venture there as well! Oak Hill doesn't have too much going on in the town, but it's quaint. I would definitely stay here again if we decided to come back. This part of West Virginia is beautiful!! Would highly recommend. Just wish we had more time to spend here!!

This was a great house for our family of five. It really had more room than we even needed. It was close to the rail to trail walking path and also close to get on the highway to access the national park visitor centers that we wanted to see. Ace adventures was also quite close and if you’re in the area, I highly recommend spending a day there! We had plenty of room to spread out and the kitchen was well equipped for us to be able to cook. We loved the tea room and all spent lots of time out there having our breakfast and reading at the end of the day. The hosts were great and communication was on point.
