Benedict Haid Farm is a family-owned business open, mostly for weddings, for the past 30 years. It features a large, historic 1860s hand-hewn log home on 400-acres, adjoining 10,000 acres of undeveloped corporate property. This is a nice place to get away for a while, or host a small retreat. The nearest commercial building is six miles away. :-)

The property was built by Benedict Haid and was later used as a Girl Scout camp in the mid-20th Century. Benedict Haid Farm is mostly used asa wedding destination. It has two bedrooms and a sun room with queen size sleeper, and 1 1/2 baths. Living room and dining room each with fireplace. Gas heat, A/C, and all modern conveniences like a gas grill. Huge heated attached deck with outside fireplace and hot tub. Free firewood.

There is walking access to a pond, Margaret's Pond, roughly .75 mile from the Haid House. You will have access to the surrounding woods, Margaret's Pond, and the nearby farmland, if you want to make such arrangements. There is a cattle farm on the property that we can arrange for you to see. If you are interested in holding an event, please contact us. The newly-renovated barn is available to be rented for events, as well. It was renovated using logs from historic log cabins formerly located in the South Hills section of Charleston.

Steve and Lee, the caretakers for the Benedict Haid Farm, live 100 yards away and can be contacted when necessary.

Dutch Ridge is a largely undeveloped area and contains some of the highest hills and mountains in this part of West Virginia.

UPDATE August 2022: New cell phone booster system installed! It provides good, usable service for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile Users.

    The location was private and beautiful. We loved the porch and outside fireplace.

    The fireplace on the porch is where we spent most of our time! The heaters on the porch helped until the fire got nice and warm. The hot tub was a nice way to relax. The house is amazing and we all enjoyed learning about the history. The caretakers were very responsive and checked on us to be sure we had everything we needed!

    The property sits on a beautiful hillside with plenty of privacy. The frog pond was very active and a bonus! The house gives plenty of room to spread out if needed and the fireplaces were nice to light up at night. The hot tub was clean, I cannot stress this enough, it was clean to a professional standard. The floors were tidy and my socks did not turn black after 5 minutes, although I normally wear slippers. The kitchen was maintained and stocked with cookware and flatware. Bring your own spices if you are dependent on them. The freezer and fridge are separate and large. There's no internet up here except for being on the Wi-Fi which is free. My husband and I felt right at home here and we're definitely able to relax. We also needed to modify our reservation and had no problem doing so with the very communicative owners. I'm already recommending this visit to our friends and family and now I recommend it to you!

    Beautiful, cozy, historic cabin in the mountains. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with anything you’d need for cooking and food prep. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Antique decor was exceptional. Bedding was cozy and comfortable. View from the porch was gorgeous. The caretaker was friendly and visited within an hour of our arrival to make sure everything was in order. Special thank you to the owner, as there was a freak snowstorm which prevented us from leaving when we were supposed to, but he was super accommodating and concerned about our safety. It was much appreciated!

    Beautiful area with a wonderful historical home. The home was decorated in wonderful antiques - beds were really comfortable! We had good cell service at the home and the tv is set up to cast from your phone which was a wonderful touch for rainy days. We loved the screened in porch area with hot tub. Loved the history and all of the local wildlife. The scenery was breathtaking! Hosts were very accommodating and prompt. Bathrooms were immaculate. The towels provided were awesome - spa quality with stretch to them. Trust me, you'll just have to try them out for yourselves. LOL Kitchen was amazing with restaurant sized stand alone refrigerator and a separate stand alone upright freezer. My husband LOVED the outdoor grill. We did pack a cooler with snacks and salads and breakfast items, drinks, etc., and would suggest you do the same as back up on days when you don't feel like traveling. Although geographically, there are many places to eat and grocery stores available, there are no short trips due to the winding roads. The home is in the hills/mountains and the roads to get there, although clearly marked and paved, are very, very narrow, with hair pin turns - normally without guard rails. You don't necessarily need 4wd, but a smaller, compact vehicle is the way to go because in many spots, it is pretty much one lane traffic and there is no shoulder to pull off on. Over all, we truly enjoyed ourselves and will be coming back.
