Garvey House on the New River Gorge

The Garvey House has been welcoming visitors to the New River Gorge since 1984. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence was the first bed-and-breakfast in the region and has since been a favorite lodging destination for hikers, bikers, climbers, paddlers, and sightseers. As a residence or vacation rental, it's ideally suited to the region's high-adventure lifestyle.

OVERVIEW

Built about 1900, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is among the best-preserved examples of high-style residences commissioned for corporate officials in the New River Gorge region at the turn of the century. The spacious residence of more than 3,000 square feet boasts uncommon architectural highlights, including massive stone foundations, an off-kitchen root cellar, and a more than an acre of gardens that include small ponds, patios, a gazebo, rock walls, and stone benches. The property may be found eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as a result of its architectural integrity and its extensive gardens.

As a residence, retreat, or vacation rental, it benefits from its location in a national park gateway community. A mile from the boundary of the park, it enjoys particular appeal for its proximity to famous cultural and natural resources. The region is one of the most popular destinations for rock climbing in the U.S., and climbing areas are located only four miles from the door. Hiking trails, including the Endless Wall Trail, one of the nation's most popular hiking trails, are fewer than five miles away. The New River Gorge Bridge and the Canyon Rim Visitor Center are fewer than 10 miles, and Fayetteville, the chief shopping and dining destination for many park visitors, is only 15 minutes.
