About this property

Charismatic 4-bedroom home on the New River

The Big House is located in the New River Gorge National Park, the newest national park. There is access to Sandstone Landing's patio alongside the New River. It is a fully furnished home with outdoor seating, a fire pit, and a beautiful view of the river. It is a great starting point for exploring all the beautiful sites and attractions that southern West Virginia and the New River Gorge have to offer.
To get to the home, you will go across railroad tracks, we are near the railroad tracks. It is in a small, friendly neighborhood. You can walk to Sandstone General Store and Eatery to get any necessities you may have forgotten for your trip or get a meal.
If you plan to fish, there is also a bait and tackle store. Be sure to have a WV fishing license to be able to fish, though. The sandstone boat launch is within walking distance of the house.
An extra that we provide our guests is access to the Sandstone Landings patio on the river, this is a shared space with our Sandstone Landings guests. It is just a short walk from the home. The upper level of the patio is equipped with a dining table and chairs. Lower level of patio has outdoor furniture to enjoy the river view or to sit in while you fish in the New River.
Please remember to add your pets to your booking if you will be bringing your furry friends with you. ($50 pet fee)Thank you :)

Loved it!

Our stay was everything we could have hoped for. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. Plenty of space to run around! The close proximity to the convenience store was perfect for quick snacks or whatever we needed. The owners of the property are incredibly sweet, and even had freshly baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival. They were very responsive and attentive to detail. The train was cool to watch pass by. We went to the national park and learned about the history of the area and the importance of the trains for the area, so we appreciated it.

Loved staying here! I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay here! Very clean place, had everything we needed and more. Such a great place to stay at, and anyone that doesn't stay here is missing out on a great place and area. The Richmond's and Boyds showed great generosity through the things,they did to provide us with a wonderful stay and delicious cookies! We love to visit again, and thank you so much!

Great place to stay

We had a very nice stay. Huge house with four bedrooms. One of them and the lanai have a view of the river. There us also a gazebo next to the river. The place is extremely clean and very well stocked. A little grocery store/gas station close by. Also a Walmart about 20 min away. It was a great base to conduct field trips to see waterfalls, a coal mine exhibit, go for rafting and taking hikes in the beautiful mountain forests.

Ideal Location and home

With 4 queen beds, this was an ideal place for our large family. The closeness of the river access was so nice. We enjoyed the beautiful mountain views making a campfire, the front porch swing, grilling out, going next door to the store for slushies and ice cream, meeting the neighbors who shared their garden veggies with us, and even Fourth of July fireworks on the river! The train was a nice touch, the kids loved being so close and being able to see the coal being hauled and even the Amtrak passenger trains.

Will definitely be back. The home was absolutely beautiful and sitting at the Gazebo while my kids fished was a great time. The host responded very quickly to any questions I had and the cookies they made for us were great (we ate them all). The kids loved it and my Mother did not want to leave. I definitely recommend staying here.

Beautiful home and prefect location

Our family of 5 adults and a toddler stayed at this home for a family reunion being held nearby and its perfect if you want to fish or go on a hike their are plenty of places in close distance and a dock you can walk to and fish off of! All the small details this place has to offer is well worth it. Thanks for the memories!

Natural beauty

We had a very enjoyable stay at “the big house”. Communication was excellent. It is truly very spacious and was super clean. The fenced in yard was a plus for the dogs and the deck/landing by the river is lovely with gorgeous views. Natural beauty abounds. I highly recommend this property.

The Big House Sandstone WV

Spacious and comfortable home on the New River close to many natural attractions and snow sports. Our dog loved the fenced-in yard. There is a train that comes through fairly regularly and it is close and loud when it does. Thankfully, it is usually a short train that comes and goes quickly.

Great visit

we made sure we visited west virginia during fall colors. The house was clean, actually appliances looked brand new. The host must have read our mind since they provided our favorite coffee, cream and sweetener. These jewels had also baked some wonderful cookies. Just ask my husband he almost ate all. The bathroom upstairs was beautiful, with a huge shower. Sure would reccommend!!!

Amazing Experience

I am a demanding customer and was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful experience we had at the Big House. This is a 1920s home with character, close to the river, big/loud trains passing regularly, spacious and laid out in a way this good for gathering. We held an adult sibling retreat for 4 here and our experience was outstanding! Owners added special touches to prep the home and accomodate us, which made it extra special. Will come back.
