Meadowview Solar Haven: A Mountain Retreat in Thomas, WV

Welcome to Meadowview Solar Haven, a warm and inviting escape where modern comfort meets the tranquility of nature. Nestled on 2.1 private acres along a gentle creek, this 3,500 sq. ft. solar-powered home offers a perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and small groups alike. Here, you can unwind in peace, immerse yourself in nature, and still be just minutes from the charming towns of Thomas and Davis, West Virginia.

A Spacious Solar-Powered Home in Nature
Surrounded by woods and meadows, Meadowview Solar Haven is an eco-friendly solar-powered lodge that blends sustainable living with comfort and space. You’ll have the entire two-story home to yourselves, featuring high ceilings, panoramic windows, and cozy furnishings that create a welcoming lodge ambiance.

For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with 7 individual mini-split heating and cooling systems, allowing for quiet, efficient climate control throughout the house so each space can be adjusted to your liking.

Step out onto the expansive 85-ft covered back porch — the perfect spot to sip your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while taking in sweeping meadow and mountain views. With ample seating, it invites everyone to gather, relax, and enjoy the fresh mountain air in every season.

Tranquil Outdoor Oasis – Creek, Pond & Pavilion
Nature is truly at your doorstep. Wander the property to find an enchanting pavilion tea house beside Snyder Run creek — an idyllic place to relax with a book or listen to the soothing sounds of flowing water.

The former koi pond has been thoughtfully transformed into your own private catch-and-release fishing pond, offering a peaceful and unique on-site experience. Whether casting a line in the morning or enjoying the quiet at sunset, it’s a guest favorite and a rare amenity you won’t find elsewhere.

The grounds provide plenty of space for kids to explore and for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. By night, gather under the stars at the bonfire pit — with complimentary firewood provided — perfect for roasting s’mores, sharing stories, and stargazing in the clear mountain skies.

Comfortable Accommodations for Families & Groups
Inside the home, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms designed for comfort and flexibility. The upstairs now features a new king master suite, offering a luxurious and restful retreat, along with an additional bedroom with flexible sleeping arrangements.

The downstairs bedroom provides easy accessibility with a comfortable full bed, ideal for guests who prefer no stairs.

In total, the home comfortably accommodates 6–10 guests, with additional cots and linens available for larger families or groups. Two full bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs ensure convenience for everyone.

A fully equipped kitchen and large dining area make it easy to enjoy home-cooked meals and gather together after a day of adventure.

Hot Tub & Entertainment “Man-Cave”
After a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring, unwind in the 6-person hot tub located in the unique garage-converted “man-cave.” This cozy indoor lounge is open 24/7 and features comfortable seating, a large-screen TV, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for movie nights or game day.

Whether you're soaking in the hot tub or relaxing with family and friends, this space is a guest favorite year-round.

Close to Adventure, Hiking & Skiing
While you may feel worlds away, downtown Thomas is just 2 miles away and Davis only 4 miles — offering easy access to restaurants, shops, and a vibrant arts scene.

Outdoor adventures are just minutes from your door:
Blackwater Falls State Park (waterfalls, hiking, scenic overlooks)
Canaan Valley Resort (skiing, snowboarding, biking, golf)
Dolly Sods Wilderness (iconic high-elevation hiking)
Endless trails, rivers, fishing spots, and more

Whether you're hiking, skiing, fishing, biking, or exploring local galleries and music venues, Meadowview Solar Haven is the perfect home base.

By day, chase adventure — by night, return to your private retreat to relax in the hot tub, fish under the evening sky, or unwind on the porch beneath the stars.

Peace, Privacy & Warm Hospitality
Enjoy the seclusion of a private mountain retreat with the reassurance of attentive hospitality when needed. The owner resides just a short drive away, so you’ll have complete privacy — but help is always nearby if you need anything.

Your Mountain Escape Awaits
Escape into nature, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and create lasting memories with family and friends at Meadowview Solar Haven.

From peaceful mornings on the porch to evenings by the fire or fishing pond, this property offers a rare blend of tranquility, comfort, and outdoor experience — a place to truly unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of West Virginia.

Thanks for the feedback, Teresa. It looks like you gave me a wonderful verbal review but only four stars. Not sure what you didn't like about the house. But thanks for staying and glad you had a great time.

The home was extremely welcoming and the decor was my favorite part. Vince is an outstanding host who responded immediately to any questions that I had. The house was fully stocked with every single thing that we needed. The coffee bar was a nice feature. My family enjoyed the hot tub in the garage. The house has more than enough space to spread out. We will definitely be back. Thank you Vince.

About the host

Hosted by Vincent Lombardi

Host profile image
Hi there — I’m Vince, and welcome to Meadowview Solar Haven.

Originally from Alexandria, VA, I traded a career in aerospace engineering for a life centered around nature, creativity, and hospitality here in wild and wonderful West Virginia. Today, I own a riverfront campground along the Dryfork River in Parsons, as well as this solar-powered mountain retreat designed for comfort, relaxation, and connection to the outdoors.

I appreciate thoughtful design, clean and comfortable spaces, and the little details that make a stay feel special — but I also believe in slowing down, enjoying the fresh air, and embracing the magic of the mountains. Whether it’s hiking, exploring hidden swimming spots, or simply relaxing on the porch at sunset, this area has so much to offer.

At Meadowview Solar Haven, you’ll find a peaceful setting with creeks, a private catch-and-release fishing pond, and sweeping meadow views from the covered back porch — all just minutes from Thomas, Davis, and Canaan Valley.

If you’re looking for recommendations, I’m always happy to share some favorites:

Blackwater Falls State Park – iconic waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and beautiful trails year-round
Canaan Valley – hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, and seasonal skiing
Dolly Sods Wilderness – one of the most unique and breathtaking landscapes in the region
Thomas & Davis – local art, live music, breweries, and great food

If you’re looking for adventure, I can point you in the right direction — and if you’re simply looking to relax, you’ve found the perfect place.

I’m nearby if you need anything at all, but your privacy is always respected.

Looking forward to hosting you!

— Vince
