Fine location, property needs a little love
Overall our stay was fine. The New River Gorge area is a beautiful, relaxing location with lots of options for all levels of adventurers. The property is located across the street from the New River itself. There is river access but the decent is very steep and would benefit from some stairs, natural or manmade. All visitors centers for the park are about a half hour drive which is managable. The house itself is fine though there were a few issues and things worth having a heads up on.
1) The outdoor trash can was full to over flowing when we arrived which I did let the property owners know and while they said some one would be out in a few days no one arrived during our stay which left us no place to put our trash.
2) The neighbors have dogs and one of them just seems to have free reign on the properties nearby so watch for dog poop in the yard as there are no steps to access the path to the front door.
3) It has a steep gravel drive so beware of shifting gravel making getting into the driveway a bit tricky.
4) At the time of our stay there was a large yellow jacket nest in the gutter between house door and the door for the screen porch, so beware especially if you are allergic.
5) Cell service is spotty at best and the internet/wifi kept cutting out making planning and research about the area just as difficult as reaching out to place outside the area.
6) Last it is well water that is heavily sulfured so plan on drinking bottled water and be prepared for the smell.
