About this property

Cute Bungalow in NewRiver Gorge National Park(sleeps 6, pet friendly)

We named this house Mample's because it was my grandmothers weekend get away. She loved the New River and wanted her family and friends to have a place to get away when they could. I remember weekends playing in that
front yard, just waiting on a train to go by so the engineer would blow his horn. The adults sitting on the porch watching us kids and enjoying the view of the River. Meadow Creek use to be a quaint little railroad town that has died off, with just residents and A LOT of good fishing and nostalgia. Mample's place sits right in the very heart of it. You can sit on the big front porch and look at the river behind what use to be a very busy store and watch what few trains that still go by. Use your imagination and you can be back in that little town visiting with the people on a Sunday afternoon. Or you can just get busy and FISH, Kayack, Canoe or hike Trails

Property was clean and spacious. Although the National Park was closed due to the shutdown, we still were able to do many things. The Bridge Walk was great, as was the Exhibition Mining Company. Having trains come by was interesting, and pretty neat.

As we wanted to visit New River Gorge National Park, this house was centrally located & very close to Sandstone Visitor Center. Plan ahead for food & supplies, as it is remote and not much around. My husband wants to return! It's a beautiful area & loved seeing the river. We got used to daily visits from the train.

We booked last minute on our way to NC and no issues. We were able to make a few home cooked meals while on the road and get a good nights rest. Very clean and comfortable.

Excellent Experience - don’t hesitate to book!

We were in WV for a family reunion and were so excited to find a place that was within our budget and close to the reunion. We were even more pleased when we arrived and saw things. From the location and layout to its cleanliness and amenities - everything was great. Check-in was seamless and the property owner was super responsive and helpful. We liked it so much we’re considering another - longer - trip this fall!

The communication was great. The host was avaliable for phone calls to help get settled, there was no signal for us on our carrier when we arrrived. Home was comfortable and clean. Good for a budget friendly stay. My only recommendation for renters, the closest grocery store of any kind is over 20 minutes away and its a small store with limited choices. If you have specific needs, I would come with it and not try to find it once you arrive.

Rustic Cabin in New River Gorge NP

Very rustic cottage, but clean and comfortable. I really appreciated the cottage's character (the beadboard walls and metal cabinets). The location was perfectly close to the national park and the highway which made traveling to other parts of the national park easy. My kids slept through the train and enjoyed seeing it pass during the day. I deducted a star because I didn't receive the check -in information prior to arrival.

Relaxing Stay

Home is older with a great front porch to sit and talk the day and nights away. House property is not directly on the river but that wasn’t important to us. Some nights had more trains than others. That didn’t bother us. Paint chips dropping from the ceiling did. It was an overall relaxing stay for 3 elderly sisters.

Web information very deceiving.

First of all the train is not infrequent. Two to three times during the day and at least 6 overnight. River is not in the front yard past the tracks, its down a gravel road and can barely be seen from the front porch. Floor was sticky throughout the house. Smoke alarms were found in a drawer and not mounted on the ceiling. The ceiling looks like it needs a repaint as it is chipping and paint falling down.We realize this is a very old house but it needs a lot of work to be a quality VRBO. Sorry but thats our feelings. The scenery though is beautiful and we loved West Virginia!

Short Stay for Our Visit to New River Gorge N.P.

Our family of 3 and our dog stayed 2 nights on our way from NJ to TN, allowing us to explore New River Gorge National Park. We arrived after dark, and had a hard time finding the property, as there was a slight discrepancy between the house number in the property listing and the address in the message we received with check-in info prior to our arrival. The GPS routed us to the rear of the property, which was where the street sign appeared to be located. Only by driving over the train tracks toward the river and doubling back were we able to see the front of the house/house number as shown in the listing. And it is very, very close to the train tracks! My husband and I slept in the bedroom in the front of the house, and the freight train woke us several times per night. The train was also loud enough to wake our daughter in the rear bedroom despite her sound machine being on at a high volume. But for us, the benefits of the home outweighed the inconvenience of the train noise. The house was recently updated, clean and the fenced in yard was great for our pup to run and play. The small town of Meadow Creek gave us a real feel for the area, as well as it's history, as several historical buildings in town are still standing despite no longer being used. We were so close to the N.R.G.N.P. Sandstone Falls visitor center, and having lodging within the Park allowed us to maximize the little time we had there! Thank you for having us!

Second time stay

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the bungalow. It is near the river and quiet. You do have a train that comes by often, but it was to the thrill and amazement of my 10-year-old. We walked down to the river and fished a lot, which is only 100 yards from the bungalow. If you’re looking for granite countertops and an eight persons Jacuzzi, this might not be the place for you. It’s just a quiet old farmhouse that is clean and functional for a small family. You’ll do a lot of front porch sitting, especially in the morning with your 1st cup of Joe. The local people were friendly and seemed to appreciate your presence. There’s a small eatery closer to Sandstone and Hinton. I will definitely stay here again in the future. The price is reasonable, and I really didn’t have anything to complain about other than the train rolling through about two in the morning, but after a few days, I didn’t even mind.

No Really - There are Trains

I booked this in a rush and did not read the reviews so we were surprised to learn that many trains pass RIGHT in front of the house and they blow LOUD horns right in front of you, including throughout the night. We were, however, like other guests reported, soothed right back to sleep by the sound of the train after the whistles blew the first night and we slept right through them the second night. We loved the Adirondack chairs on the porch as we sat and listened to the river. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed - but bring your own coffee if you need it in the morning.

W Va memory making trip

Everything great except we had added a day to our reservation thru VRBO and paid but they didn’t let the local host know. They said I had checked out at 5 am when I still had another night. I received hateful messages from VRBO and the local host and the state police while out sightseeing. Phone calls and texts got it corrected

New River Gorge

Property was as described, older cottage and clean. In a very quiet neighborhood up the road from the National Park Sandstone Visitors Center. There was quite a bit of train activity, up to 6 passes in the middle of the night. We knew about it from other reviews and it didn’t really bother us. We woke up and fell back asleep.
