Sleeping arrangements includes a master suite with king bed, large private bath and awesome views with entry onto back deck. There are two additional bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a second full bath. All bedrooms and baths were fully renovated in July 2022.

Family and friends can gather in the wonderful living area that opens onto a back deck overlooking a gorgeous meadow with expansive views. Your group can share a meal in the dining room with a table that seats 8 or on the back deck.

The kitchen is fully equipped for just about anything you might want to prepare a wonderful meal including basic condiments and spices.

Enjoy a cup of coffee, evening beverage or game in the cozy rotunda while gazing at the abundant wildlife and stunning views of the Allegheny or perhaps a cozy fire in the fireplace on a cold winter's morning.

Enjoy several miles of hiking/biking trails here on the property or the numerous miles of hiking trails just moments away in the Dolly Sods Wilderness. World class rock climbing is right around the corner at Seneca Rocks. Skiing at Canaan or Timberline is about 45 minutes away and we are located in the heart of some of the best whitewater kayaking and canoeing in the entire United States. There is good trout fishing nearby as well.

My family and I had a great time staying at this property. Well off the beaten path, it provided a secluded time away with breathtaking views. I have recommended this place to friends and family and if we ever make it back this way, we will definitely stay here again.

Snow trip

My family and I had a great time in the snow. The house and property was amazing. We were able to sled in the yard around the house and in the pastures. We saw several deer in the fields each day. It had a nice fireplace to warm up.

Almost heaven.

We stayed here during a baseball tournament for my son. This house accommodated our family, including my parents very well. It was very clean house with updated kitchen and bathrooms with amazing views. If we come back next year, we will be sure to book this house again!

About the host

Hosted by Don & Steve Kinser

I am a retired engineer and avid outdoor adventurer. I grew up in Northern Virginia and I've lived in the Atlanta area since 1977 when I was a freshman at Georgia Tech. I remained in Atlanta after graduating from Georgia Tech and married, started an engineering business, and raised 3 children (and now I am a grandparent). Today Nanci and I split time between our new home in Salida CO, our home on the Chattooga River in SC and the family farm in WV.

My passions include whitewater kayaking, fly fishing, hunting, skiing and just about anything out of doors.

Why they chose this property

My parents, Roland and Jean Kinser, lived and worked in the Washington DC area until 2005 (when they moved back to GA). Since I was a young boy my parents have had a "weekend" place in WV to escape the city.

Mom and Dad found The Lodge at Valley View in late 1994 after a mineral rights dispute on a property near Bayard WV motivated them to sell and look elsewhere.

It was love at first sight and they purchased the property in March 1995. The Kinser family has been making memories here ever since.

It has been a long standing tradition (since the early 1970's) that our family spends Thanksgivings togheter on our WV property(s) . We cherish these memories and look forward to that special time at Thanksgiving each year. We hope you create some memories of your own here at the Lodge at Valley View.

The name "Valley View" has a special meaning for us. "Valley View Stables" was the name of our Grandparents Tennessee Walking Horse farm in Warner Robins, GA. You will see when you arrive why "Valley View" is the perfect name for our piece of heaven in WV.

What makes this property unique

The Lodge at Valley View sits on 230 acres of beautiful WV hardwood forest at the base of the Allegheny Front. With a half mile long driveway and no road frontage, the Lodge at Valley View is extraordinarily secluded and private. The closest neighbor is a half mile away or more!

The views from the back deck are absolutely spectacular. You can hike, bike and explore without ever leaving the property or you can venture further and explore the many exciting things to do in the area.
