This is a must stay property. We loved celebrating our anniversary here. So peaceful and so accommodating. The host was in contact with me to make sure we arrived safely and if there was anything we needed. We have rented cabins in the past and I have to say this is at the top of our list. Highly highly recommend. Everything you need is there.

Perfect waterfront spot

We loved the quaint neighborhood and beautiful riverfront views. The house had everything we needed and we were able to go out for adventures during the day and come back to relax, fish or make dinner for the evening. Great spot! We’ll be back!

Little things make all the difference

The property owners attention to small details like local recommendations, snacks, and a fully stocked coffee bar truly make this property a great place to visit. The location sets it a part from others in the area with the connivence of being a short drive from all attractions. Can’t wait to stay again!

Wonderful and cozy

We had a great stay at the Rose River Rental. It is a wonderful cozy home with amazing views. The accommodations are top notch with lots of thought and extras added to make your trip extra memorable. The s’mores and record player were the highlights of our kids stay. The town is a tiny old miners town and the people were very friendly when we went for a walk.

Home away from home

Can’t say enough great things about Beth and her house. Truly a home away from home. They have thought of everything you would need and even wonderful surprises like the snacks awaiting for you on the table (I won’t spoil some of the other little things 😊). If there’s anything that you do need or have a question she’s quick to reply to you. I honestly felt like a kid myself staying at one my relatives home on vacation it’s that personal here. Quite neighbors as well. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing time away.

We had an amazing stay at the River Cottage. Definitely will come back again. It was the best place in Boomer West Va to vacation. The Falls were beautiful. So many things to do and not far to go to. Try out The New Place for the best fried bologna sandwich. From Kayaking, ATV, to Ziplines. Tudor’s Biscuit World is Yummy too.The Historic Ferris Inn has great food too as well as a kayak lunch area down the road to kayak at the falls. Beth was an amazing host and always available if you needed anything.

Fantastic view

The house was stocked with everything you would need for your stay. Most of our time at the house was spent out on the porch taking in the view or casting a line into the river from the dock below. The closed in fence was convenient for our pup. We would absolutely stay in the house again, and Beth was super responsive with all communication and made sure we had everything we needed.

Comfortable and inviting home

This was a perfect place for three high school friends to stay for a mini-reunion. The beds were comfortable and the house was well stocked. I can’t imagine anything you need that wasn’t there. And so many nice touches with coffee, snacks, decor… Lots of care is obviously put into making this an inviting place to stay from the decor to the comfortable porch, deck, and fire pit overlooking the mountains and the Kanawha River.

Only complaint is the yard getting mowed at 730 on wednesdays (real early for us night shifters). Master bed wasnt very comfortable. Could use a mattress topper. But all in all was a very wonderful plac. umattress topperr. But all in place to rent

Beth & Louie were the Best hosts! We really enjoyed meeting them. Our family vacation to WV is packed with many wonderful memories! The River house is centrally located with many things to do. Waterfalls, hiking and white water rafting just to name a few. When your are ready to relax the scenery just sitting on the porch is picturesque. Hard to believe something so beautiful is effortlessly hand created right in front of you. The River House and the Hosts are GEMS!

Beautiful views and cozy place

This property was a great place to stay while visiting the Gorge in WV. The owner was very responsive. We had storms come through and knock the power out for the entire town and the owner communicated very timely, which helped reduce any disruptions to our trip. The property was well equipped with everything we needed: nice porch over looking the river and mountains, dock for fishing, cozy covered porch, fire pit, grills, washing machine, four beds, all kitchen supplies, and a record player that my kids thought was cool. I would definitely recommend this property for anyone exploring this area. There was a 30 minute curvy drive to get to the touristy area.

You can’t beat the view

I’ve stayed in a few VRBO properties, but this one has been my favorite yet. It is the best stocked rental I have ever stayed in. Beth keeps the place stocked with coffee and other necessities so you feel like you are in your own kitchen. Other positives: 1. Clean- place was spotless, linens were fresh. 2. Family friendly- we had our 3 year old with us, the house has some things there for kids. (Our little loved the wall chalkboard). 3. Location- 30 minutes to the north side of New River Gorge National Park, 25 minutes from Hawks Nest state park. Some beautiful waterfalls just a few minutes from the property. In a small town tucked in a quiet neighborhood. Lastly, the pictures do not do justice to how beautiful the river views are from the porch and patio, I could sit there for hours given the opportunity. Highly recommend, hoping to make a return stay!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Fish

Host profile image
I am a local small business owner who loves to serve my community and travel. I've enjoyed staying at other short term rentals so much that I decided to host one myself when the opportunity presented itself. I am approaching the end of my first year of hosting and I now know that this is definitely my passion. I believe you will feel welcome and at home in our little piece of heaven, on the Kanawha River, here in southern WV!

Why they chose this property

Rose River Cottage was my late mother's primary residence. She loved to sit on the porch and admire the beautiful river and majestic mountains. I couldn't bare to sell it after she passed in 2020, so I am sharing it with friends like you! We keep a weekend open every month to gather as a family and enjoy the space. I think you will feel the sense of family when you visit. We hope to host you soon!

What makes this property unique

We are uniquely situated right between the state's capitol and the country's newest National Park. Not only that, but we are directly on the Kanawha River. The house is in a tight knit, sleepy residential area, but it faces the river so you feel more secluded than you actually are.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
