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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

Cute house reminded me of my great grandmothers
The house was old and has character. The train is loud as others have stated. You can walk right down to the river which is cool and we saw river otter tracks. Easy drive to West Virginia Adventures for rafting (about 40 mins). Drive through the lower portion of New River Gorge NP to get to the house. The host provided the correct address but VRBO has the house number wrong so that should be corrected to avoid confusion. Fenced yard great for pets and children. Beds were comfy and we enjoyed our stay.

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.

Cozy home close to the river
We had a cozy stay in this house. My mother in law (from SC) described it as "authentic Appalachian living". :) It's not super fancy, and the train does come by multiple times at night, but that, in itself, was kind of a cool experience that you don't get everyday. We went down to the river for paddle boarding in the evenings and were hiking around New River Gorge in the day. It was a lovely trip with great memories made. Thanks for letting us stay.

Beautiful WV getaway
The little house was exactly as described. It was very cute, spacious and comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and I’m picky about my bed! The train tracks are VERY close, but we enjoyed watching the trains go by. There were about 3 per night. The horns woke us but we were lulled back to sleep by the sound of the trains. The kitchen was well equipped but I suggest you bring your own spices if you plan to cook. The area is gorgeous and we were able to hike many trails throughout the park. Everyone we encountered was very nice. I would definitely come back again.

Nostalgic Living
We enjoyed our stay along the New River Gorge in Meadow Creek. The bungalow was kept simple with furnishings. The beaded ceiling molding for the walls and the ceiling with the massive baseboards are classic for the era it was built. The updated tub/shower and furnishings made it very comfortable.
We enjoyed the trains as they came by. The distant rumble and blowing horns as they passed made it seem like a bygone era.
It is a comfortable neighborhood. The mountains surround the town and the river is able to be seen from the front porch, and only a short walk to touch the water.
We enjoy the New River Gorge era and this was a pleasant spot to base from for the southern area.
