Love it when our guests connect with the river and our home in the mountains. So good to watch families come together and create sweet memories in our little piece of heaven. It’s fun for us as hosts to see familiar faces year after year!

Quiet & secluded!

If you’re looking for peace & quiet, with the gorgeous Tygart River within 30 yards… this is the place for you! Host addresses minor issues quickly & efficiently & is super friendly! Grandchildren enjoyed the bunk beds & riding their scooters on road & bridge (very little traffic) … no cell phone signal but was nice to unplug & we could text with Starlink wi-fi! We truly had a marvelous time in spite of lots of rain.

Very nice house and so close to the beautiful river

We loved the house had everything we needed as it was well equipped for cooking The rooms were comfortable The only thing I would add is that there needs to be screens on all the upstairs windows for small children for when windows are raised for safety The owners were friendly We used both porches and loved the river our grandkids are already saying they want to go back sometime It's a five star place

We really enjoyed hosting this group. Great family! They even shared their smoked ribs with us...yum! Watching the children play and explore the river always brings back memories of our kids doing the same. We'll double check to locate the screens. They are typically in place so not sure what happened but that is a valid point and I will make sure they are in place going forward. We are always available next door if there is anything you need during your stay so feel free to let us know if anything is amiss and we'll take care of it as soon as possible. We woudl welcome this group again anytime.

Great Place for Family

Highly recommend this home especially for a large family get-together. We had 4 couples plus a 3yr old and 3mo old. The large open area between the kitchen, dining room and living room worked great for meals, games and crafts! We sang camp songs around the campfire. Took fun group photos. Climbed on rocks in the river. Great place!

Family Wedding

We were there for our granddaughter’s wedding at Adaland Mansion. This was a convenient location for traveling to and from the event. The house was beautifully decorated and very roomy for a large family. Everything was clean and comfortable. The rain kept us from enjoying the outdoors but there was lots of room for outdoor sitting and grilling. Sherry is an exceptionally good host. I would recommend the riverfront home to anyone traveling to that area.

Spacious house in a lovely setting

We were very pleased with how spacious the house was. The kitchen, dining room, living room, and both front porch and back porches were very open and great places for a large family to hang out. We loved the rocks and the river across the road. There are lots of good parks nearby, but we found ourselves spending more time at the house, and the river in front than we anticipated. It was a pleasant surprise!

Nice family getaway

We enjoyed our stay although the weather did not allow us to fully enjoy all the property had to offer. The house is large enough for multiple families. The beds were very comfy. If you have any early risers in your group, they should be on the first floor as every step taken upstairs is heard thru the entire house and the stairs are very loud. The kitchen is well equipped as was everything in the house from extra blankets, towels and detergent for laundry.

Beautiful location, well maintained home

The location is beautiful. We were a group of 7 adults, 2 children, and 1 dog; the house was adequate in space and bathrooms, if 1 or 2 adults are willing to sleep in the bunk beds in the children's room. The house is clean and well maintained with plenty of extra towels and sheets if needed. Kitchen is also well stocked with pots and pans and cutlery. Dishwasher and washing machine works well; detergents provided. The beds were a little uncomfortable for some members of our group. Great place for a family reunion or weekend getaway.

Lovely retreat by the river

Nice place for a get together with friends. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and one child. Nice to sit on the front porch and listen to the river. Nothing is nearby though. There's one small grocery and a Dollar General in the nearby town of Phillipi (about 20 minutes) and a Walmart about 40 minutes away. The owners were very nice and live right next door should you need anything.

Very comfortable home

We came for my husbands birthday and unfortunately the weather did not cooperate. We still had a wonderful time together. The house is very clean, well kept and very beautifully restored . The beds were comfortable. The house is very well equipped with thoughtful extras. We cooked at the house the entire weekend and the kitchen is well equipped. We brought our own card games but there were plenty supplied and didn’t really need to bring anything. Very thoughtful. Lastly the owners dogs are adorable, especially Jango. He is so laid back and friendly. A very well behaved dog. Our dogs got along great with him and looked out door for him to come over all day. Thanks again for hosting such a special house.

40th Birthday Surprise

What a great place for our family to gather to surprise our oldest daughter for her 40th birthday! The house is comfortable and spacious, although a couple of the mattresses are a little soft. We had 12 people staying at the house (a couple - that's us, the parents, a family of 6, and a family of 4). Our third daughter lives 25 minutes away and her family of 6 also joined in the activities. We all loved the river, walking on the rocks and wading a bit. We also visited Audra State Park (twice - it's about 40 minute away) where there's a great swimming spot in the Middle River. The dog-loving kids loved the friendly dogs from next door. We made use of the bbq grill and the outdoor area at the back, as well as the gazebo. We totally recommend Tygart River Guest House.

Our family getaway

My husband and I met up with our son and daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law and youngest daughter for a lovely weekend at a great VRBO. Sherry was a wonderful host and was very good about getting us information for hiking and swimming in the area. The river our front is beautiful and was a great feature to this property. Pretty much everything we needed was provided. I wish the bed in the one front room wasn't so bouncy but other than that everyone slept well. Hopefully we will be able to have a return visit in the future. We are already missing the dogs next door who were also great hosts and would take us for walks along the river. The dogs would also hang out on the back deck occasionally and were very well behaved.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Hubbard

Host profile image
Josh and Sherry Hubbard moved to West Virginia many decades ago as avid rafters & kayakers who love whitewater and the abundance of rivers and streams in the area. We found this place along the river and never looked back! We have raised our family on and around the rivers and mountains covering nearly every square inch of this area. We've made lasting memories and we hope you will too! Josh is a local artisan crafting wood and metal into truly beautiful works of art. Sherry works from home as a freelance writer and graphic designer. We have a home next door to the guest house and are nearby if you have a questions or need a hand.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the river, mountains and people of Arden, WV and its historical background Parts of the guest house date back to the early 1900's during the coal mining era when tracks of the B & O Railroad line ran directly through the community of Arden. Since those days, an extensive renovation and many amenities have been added to make a comfortable yet historic guest house. It's a great spot to gather with friends and family since you have the run of the place. It sleeps 10 easily and there are plenty of gathering areas to spend time together.

What makes this property unique

This home is situated on the Tygart River with views from every bedroom as well as the front porch. It's a lovely out-of-the-way place to catch your breath and enjoy the mountain air. Period elements from the early 1900's are still preserved in the home including original pine floors and bead board walls along with relics from the coal mining era. Josh is a West Virginia artisan creating art out of wood and metal. He built a driftwood gazebo next to the river which comes from local wood collected along the Tygart. We hope you enjoy!
