Enjoy this private mountain retreat with stunning views on 230 acres
The Lodge at Valley View is a wonderful mountain retreat located at the base of the Allegheny front in Grant County WV, approximately 2.75 hours (150 mi) due west of downtown Washington DC. and only 10 minutes off of US 48 (corridor H)
You will have exclusive use of a modern and very private 3 bedroom, 2 bath home situated on 230 forested acres with stunning views. We are located just minutes away from Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, Blackwater Falls State Park and close to Davis WV, Thomas WV, Timberline and Canaan Valley ski areas.
Sleeping arrangements includes a master suite with king bed, large private bath and awesome views with entry onto back deck. There are two additional bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a second full bath. All bedrooms and baths were fully renovated in July 2022.
Family and friends can gather in the wonderful living area that opens onto a back deck overlooking a gorgeous meadow with expansive views. Your group can share a meal in the dining room with a table that seats 8 or on the back deck.
The kitchen is fully equipped for just about anything you might want to prepare a wonderful meal including basic condiments and spices.
Enjoy a cup of coffee, evening beverage or game in the cozy rotunda while gazing at the abundant wildlife and stunning views of the Allegheny or perhaps a cozy fire in the fireplace on a cold winter's morning.
Enjoy several miles of hiking/biking trails here on the property or the numerous miles of hiking trails just moments away in the Dolly Sods Wilderness. World class rock climbing is right around the corner at Seneca Rocks. Skiing at Canaan or Timberline is about 45 minutes away and we are located in the heart of some of the best whitewater kayaking and canoeing in the entire United States. There is good trout fishing nearby as well.

About the host
Hosted by Don & Steve Kinser
I am a retired engineer and avid outdoor adventurer. I grew up in Northern Virginia and I've lived in the Atlanta area since 1977 when I was a freshman at Georgia Tech. I remained in Atlanta after graduating from Georgia Tech and married, started an engineering business, and raised 3 children (and now I am a grandparent). Today Nanci and I split time between our new home in Salida CO, our home on the Chattooga River in SC and the family farm in WV.
My passions include whitewater kayaking, fly fishing, hunting, skiing and just about anything out of doors.

Why they chose this property
My parents, Roland and Jean Kinser, lived and worked in the Washington DC area until 2005 (when they moved back to GA). Since I was a young boy my parents have had a "weekend" place in WV to escape the city.
Mom and Dad found The Lodge at Valley View in late 1994 after a mineral rights dispute on a property near Bayard WV motivated them to sell and look elsewhere.
It was love at first sight and they purchased the property in March 1995. The Kinser family has been making memories here ever since.
It has been a long standing tradition (since the early 1970's) that our family spends Thanksgivings togheter on our WV property(s) . We cherish these memories and look forward to that special time at Thanksgiving each year. We hope you create some memories of your own here at the Lodge at Valley View.
The name "Valley View" has a special meaning for us. "Valley View Stables" was the name of our Grandparents Tennessee Walking Horse farm in Warner Robins, GA. You will see when you arrive why "Valley View" is the perfect name for our piece of heaven in WV.

What makes this property unique
The Lodge at Valley View sits on 230 acres of beautiful WV hardwood forest at the base of the Allegheny Front. With a half mile long driveway and no road frontage, the Lodge at Valley View is extraordinarily secluded and private. The closest neighbor is a half mile away or more!
The views from the back deck are absolutely spectacular. You can hike, bike and explore without ever leaving the property or you can venture further and explore the many exciting things to do in the area.
