You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Secluded but only 5 minutes from New River Gorge Bridge

Summer is here. The temperatures are rising. That makes it a great time to enjoy friends, family, and the great outdoors.

From the property, guests can hike about 800 yards and see the rim of the gorge at Short Creek. Where they can climb or continue hiking on various trails (https://www.mountainproject.com/area/114210837/short-creek-right). Beauty Mountain Trail is about 1/2 mile away. Endless Wall Trail and trails at Nuttall and Fern Creek are within a mile too (https://www.alltrails.com/explore/us/west-virginia/edmond? b_tl_lat=38.07608791352027&b_tl_lng=-81.10379313496004&b_br_lat=38.032201511404395&b_br_lng=-81.01188121986912&ar[]=10184108). Guests actually drive past them to get to the home.

If you are looking for a private, peaceful area to get away from it all, Beauty Mountain Hideaway is the idyllic place for you. With its expansive covered porches and hot tub, you can sit, relax, enjoy the sounds of nature and let your cares melt away. Situated on 8.75 acres, guests can explore the land, Short Creek, and its wildlife (no hunting please). Short Creek actually runs through the property and has its own private, natural grotto hidden in the foliage just below the back porch. Better than a hot tub on those steamy summer nights. The pathway from the back of the home leads you down there. However, it is very new and we are still working the ground so we ask that you do not burn down there or leave trash due to wildlife. We also ask that you stay on the gravel pathway and keep ahold of the handrail as the gravel will roll out from under your foot.

For those with an even more adventurous appetite, Adventures on the Gorge (adventuresonthegorge.com) is several miles away, where guests can enjoy guided tours, aerials, mountain biking, horseback riding, paint ball (you name it, they probably provide it) all for a nominal fee. Guests can enjoy the restaurants and shopping there too.

If shopping is more your style, head across the New River Gorge Bridge towards downtown Fayetteville, where quaint shops and restaurants are available.

We even have you covered during bad weather as the home is equipped with a generator that automatically kicks in when the power goes out. Although it is an automatic generator, it will not support the entire home. Guests will need to pick what systems are important to them.

Please review the rules prior to booking. If you would like to review the lodging agreement prior to doing so, please message me and I will send a copy.

Beautiful cabin, beautiful setting.

Just a gorgeous place. Well appointed with large spaces for family celebrations and private spaces for retreating from the noise. The yard is stunning with a short path to the stream. It's really great to be able to walk right into the gorge, or do a short drive to get to other trail heads. Great stay!

Couldn’t have picked a better place.

It was perfect for our needs! 9 total (5 kids) that were there to enjoy each other & the hikes. The house had everything we needed (fully stocked kitchen, trash bags, etc.) to enjoy ourselves, plus the location to the hikes couldn’t have been better. The beds were comfy (great linens) & we all slept great! The bonus playroom got a ton of activity & allowed us to enjoy some adult time. The owner was also very responsive!

Peaceful Mountain Hideaway

The house and property are beautiful. We could hear the creek from the screened porch and could watch our grillmaster working the 6 burner grill. 9 people stayed for 6 nights and the house had everything we needed. There were plenty of dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, and cleaning supplies. Even if the dishwasher was full, we could serve another meal. All the beds were comfortable with plenty of additional bedding and towels. So many activities in the area, heck with OBX, we will do summer vacation in the mountains now!
