About this property

Al's Place - A place to Dream

Fisherman paradise, Rafters hideout, Hikers boot-stop, Golfers Ace in the Hole, Family Vacation, the list goes on and on. This adorable cabin on the great New River in Summers Co, WV is in the heart of all things tourist. It is also part of the New River National Park. There are tons of places to fish, several golf courses, ski resorts, rafting companies, hiking trails, the Famous New River Gorge Bridge, The Greenbrier Hotel, Glade Springs Resort, just to name a few of the places to check out, and things to do. Wild Wonderful West Virginia is loaded with so many beautiful Mountains and glistening waterways. Al's Place is nestled between a mountain on the back side and New River on the front with a 3 sided screened in porch to sit and sip your coffee, play card games into the night, or just visit, grill, and relax with good friends. It is 3 miles from I 64, so in Minutes you can go from a quiet relaxing cabin to our little country cafe, Sandstone Eatery, shops, stores, and all of the tourist places listed above.. it sleeps 8 with 2 bathroom but has a loft that if you want to bring your own blowup mattress for the kids there is enough room for 2 full size ones, so you just went from 8 to 10. It comes fully stocked with towels, linens, cookware and dinnerware, just bring your personal items and some groceries. Then you are all set to play, relax and just have fun.

We had a wonderful time. It's so quiet and peaceful there. The train was an extra perk. It was amazing to see how long some of them were. The river was a little high due to rains but it was nice to just sit and watch the geese bob down the water. Would definitely stay there again as it's located in the perfect spot to visit the many the states beautiful sights. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

Excellent

This was a return visit for us to Al’s Place and once again we enjoyed every minute of it. If you like the river, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better location. We got hit with mostly rain but the screened-in porch made it possible to be outside and dry near the water. Great hosts, clean place, all you need is there. Thanks for having us!

Great location

Property is beautiful and right on New River. House was very clean and had everything we needed. Only downside was the proximity of the train but overall a great experience!

Cozy Cabin on the River!

We loved our stay in this cozy cabin for Thanksgiving! It was a great location for visiting New River Gorge National Park, and my children loved having the river in the backyard. We made a fire in the fire pit and ate hot dogs and s’mores, cooked up Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen, and enjoyed our days hiking. We had a great time! We want to come back in the summer to have more opportunities to do things on the river. Cabin was stocked with utensils, plates, cups, etc. I always said my kids could sleep through a freight train, and it looks like I was right. When the trains passed by I was the only one who stirred. :) Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Patterson

I am a 69 year old semi retired single grandmother with children in both West Virginia, (my home state) and Illinois (where I have been for the last 15 years). I recently purchased a home on 1 acre on the beautiful New River where I was raised. When I can't be there I want to share it with you.
I guess you could say, you can take the girl out of WV but you can never take WV out of the girl. My parents have had me on the river since I was 3 weeks old, so I always Knew I would come back to it, but I just can't seem to tear myself away from my family in Illinois, so this is the perfect arrangement for me.
I love to travel and have actually done quite a bit of it over the last few years. I always seem to migrate toward the water, the ocean, the lakes, the river. I could sit by the water for hours reading a good book, or being out on a boat. But the most fun of all is playing in the water with my grandchildren, who as you have probably guessed by now, are my world, each of the 8 of them are my favorite people. So now you know a little bit about me and why I have my home listed on this site. Not only for the extra income but to share the joys I have felt through the years with you in this, "MY Happy Place"

Why they chose this property

This comfortable cabin is nestled in the mountains of Southern WV on the beautiful New River. Families have enjoyed this area for generations for fishing, boating, whitewater rafting, skiing , hunting and so much more. It comes fully equipped with all of the creature comforts of home and has a huge wrap around screened in porch for sitting and enjoying the view. Only 1 1/2 miles from I64 you can be in Beckley or Lewisburg in a matter of minutes for all of your shopping, dining, churches, etc

What makes this property unique

At one time this house was a log cabin that was moved and restored with the top addition added and also it's famous river front wrap around screened in porch. The entire river side is windows both top and bottom to allow the perfect view. And for you avid train lovers, as with all rivers the track follows the river, so you will enjoy the occasional train passing by the opposite side of the house from the river.
