About this property

The Bend West Virginia

Everything you could want. All wrapped in one charming cabin package. A stunning view, a glowing fireplace, a comfy leather couch with a fluffy blanket, cabin wood and stone textures, mountain modern decor, and plenty of space to stretch out.



The house is located on top of a mountainside overlooking the New River Gorge National Park. Though it feels remote, it is still only minutes away from National Park attractions and downtown Fayetteville life.



Sleeps 14, with 7 beds, 4 baths, 2 pull out couches, 2 cribs and 2 kitchens. The separate guest suite allows for multiple families to stay while still having room and privacy.



There are two floors with floor-to-ceiling windows giving a view of the gorge from everywhere in the house. The multi-level deck with a firepit is the perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee, cocoa or favorite libation. Even the front yard provides opportunities for fun with lots of space to walk, run, or play.

The host was great, the place was fantastic. The view from the deck is better than from the NPS visitor center. It’s the best private patio I’ve ever seen. Everyone loved it and had a great time.

Great for family gatherings

In addition to the amazing view of the New River Gorge, The Bend has a huge multilevel deck, two beautiful rooms for family gatherings, and a well stocked kitchen. With three bedrooms and a large guest suite, the house worked perfectly for our multi generational family. We hope to return!

I gotta tell you, my husband and have travelled a lot and we treat our children and grandkids a week each third or fourth week of July each year. Last year we’re had two, one at cape May and the other in Sequioa National Park in California…. But this…this is so engulfed by nature and beauty, quiet and unencumbered by noise, humans or outside world disputes. You have a real treasure here. The house is so perfect for all 10 of us, three generations. Almost heaven, WestVirginia.

NYE Getaway with Friends

The Bend WV was the perfect location to host our annual friend get together for New Years Eve. It was extremely clean and offered more than enough beds for all 10 of us. The amenities were out of this world including a coffee bar, fast WiFi and cable television, completely stocked kitchen, and the gorgeous deck overlooking the river. My friends complimented how nice this cabin was compared to ones we’ve been to in previous years. 10 out of 10 from us! Thank you for the best stay!

The Bend is magnificent!! If you stay there once…you’ll want to return. This gorgeous home is so clean and fully stocked with more accoutrements than you can imagine. And did I mention the mountain and river view? Well you might need to sit down because it’ll blow your mind! The hosts are the Bombdiggity…so helpful and fun to talk with.

Beautiful property, spacious and very well appointed. Great place for a group of adults because there are plenty of Queen size beds which is not common with vrbos. Lots of Living Room space and common sitting areas. Fabulous location with easy access to sights. Stunning views of the New River Gorge

Excellent views and home

We completed our second year at this house and booking year 3 shortly. We love this house for all the space, amazing views and kid friendly set up. The house is fully stocked with all the kitchen items you could need, coffee supplies, crib for a baby, and so many fun toys/games, towels and more. The views are amazing and the house is secluded/quiet. It’s a quick drive to places like Pies n Pints, grocery store, and outdoor activities/hiking. We’ve never been in the warmer months but there seems to be a lot to do close by. Kelly and Ryan are very responsive and helpful.

Amazing views!

We enjoyed our stay here while spending time visiting the New River Gorge area. The mountaintop views from the property are stunning and can be enjoyed from inside through floor to ceiling windows and outside on the muti-level deck. The property is spacious, offering 2 living areas, one on the main level and the other upstairs. We would return in the future!

Great place to get away with friends!

The Bend is the perfect property to get away with friends. The view is postcard perfect from the back deck. The location to hiking and Adventures on the Gorge makes it ideal for either staying on property or making a short drive for adventure. The house has ample space for everyone to spread out or gather in the Great Room area for dinner and conversation. Thanks for a fantastic weekend.

Take Me Home

Great experience at The Bend. The house is very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had four adults and six kids, and there was plenty of room. We could have had four more people very comfortably. The view was exceptional, and the location is a short drive at all the local activities. The owners had a lightning fast response to our one question about the WiFi and got us squared away in minutes. These owners are super organized and great hosts.

A “gorge”out view of the new

The view is spectacular. We had sunshine and a couple of inches of snow. Friends from TX got to make a snowman and have snowball fights on the huge deck. Inside views from the house are amazing. Like my kids said, it’s their favorite place because of the view. The house was well equipped with just about everything you need. Can’t wait to come back in the fall!!

Perfect Home for Our Annual Stay

This is the 5th year we’ve met friends from Ohio for a long weekend in this area. This is by far the best house we’ve stayed in. Very kid friendly from toys to dishes to bedding and ample room for parents and kids to have some space from each other at times. The home has beautiful views of the river and the trains down below!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Dressler

Host profile image
We’re an Ohio-based family with a deep love for travel, adventure, and the great outdoors. As lifelong explorers and National Park enthusiasts, we fell in love with the New River Gorge area for its stunning natural beauty, world-class climbing, and endless hiking trails.

We purchased this cabin as a second home—a place where we could nurture our family's love for nature and create lasting memories with friends. Whether it’s sitting around the firepit under the stars or setting out for a new trail, this home is our escape, and we’re excited to share it with others who crave the same sense of adventure and connection.

We hope it becomes a special place for you, too.

Why they chose this property

Up on the mountain with unobstructed panoramic views, this property feels remote while still being minutes away from National Park attractions and downtown Fayetteville.

What makes this property unique

Once we saw the unparalleled view of the New River Gorge from this deck, we knew we had to make this our home away from home. There are only a few views like this in the area.
