Welcome to The Top of the Town! Our large, historic retreat located at the peaceful southern gateway of the New River Gorge National Park. Perfectly curated for up to 6 adults, outdoor enthusiasts, and traveling couples looking for a quiet mountain getaway with the best view in town! The property is at the top of a hill and has a great view of downtown Historic Hinton and the New River, from the front porch. A 105 year old Victorian that is as quirky as it is charming. Our home has a large,well stocked kitchen and spacious dining room for those of you who want to eat in. And great high-speed internet for the work-from-home crowd.

Zero Bed Fighting: All three bedrooms feature Queen-sized beds—no twin beds or cramped bunks. Perfect for three couples or a group of friends. Each room has a window a/c unit for a comfortable night’s sleep(in season). Two full baths with a washer and dryer and laundry supplies provided. We are happy to host your dog, for a fee, and have many supplies to meet their needs, as well as a fenced-in backyard off the kitchen, for easy in and out. We are not accepting any other animals at this time, but will consider more dogs on a case by case basis for an additional fee.

The property is the 2nd to last house on a dead end street. We are at the top of a steep hill with forest behind us. It is a nice private location, with a fantastic view from the front porch. You will probably wake up to a deer in the yard! The driveway can accommodate 2 cars, 3 if you’re “creative”. Backing out can be a challenge, backing in is easier for some.

We are located 11 miles from the New River Gorge National Park Welcome Center, in Sandstone. We are 7 miles from Sandstone Falls, minutes to Bluestone Lake and Bluestone State Park and about 20 minutes to Pipestem State Park and their newly rebuilt aerial tramway. The Greenbrier, Bluestone and New Rivers all converge just minutes from the house for some first class fishing. And there are many access points along the way. One day fishing licenses can be purchased online at the WV DNR website or at WaterDawg Outdoors which is less than 2 miles from the house.

Have you ever heard the saying that everything in West Virginia is around the bend about 40 minutes !
Here are some of the attractions that fit that bill:
We are 32 mins from Grandview Overlook.
43 Mins to Babcock State Park and the famous gristmill.
50 mins to West Virginia State Fairgrounds/Lewisberg.
61 mins from the Canyon Rim Visitor center and the NRG Bridge and Bridge walk.
63 mins to the Endless Wall Trail.
70 mins to the Gauley River put-in
72 mins from Hawk’s Nest State Park

Golfers! There are 7 great courses all within an hour of the house; Pipestem at the state park, Black Knight in Beckley, Elks in Lewisburg, Woodhaven and Glade Springs in Daniels, Fountain Springs in Peterstown and the PGA course at the famous Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs.
For winter visitors we are also just over 35mins from Winterplace if skiing, snowboarding and tubing are more your speed! There are also things to do right in Hinton!

As per VRBO rules we are required to disclose the use of an outdoor security camera at the property. We have one device in the upper corner of our porch that surveils the driveway, steps and entrance to the home. For our peace of mind, and yours!

Thanks for checking out Top of the Town. Book with us and you won’t be disappointed.

    This house was nicer than the photos! It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked with implements to make a delicious surf and turf dinner. 1st floor bath had a wonderful shower and the queen beds were great. Host was very responsive and helpful. The view was breathtaking and the area had a lot to offer.

    The pictures sold me on the reservation but honestly don't do justice to what you walk into! The charm of the original build mixed with the tasteful remodeling was so comfortable and homey. Everything was clean and very well stocked...I felt at home immediately. The driveway/parking can be a little intimidating but that is the trade-off I guess for the incredible view of the mountains and the town below. Wish I could've stayed longer but can't wait to plan another trip and stay at the Top of the Town again.

    The house was more than we could’ve hoped for. It was beautiful and a great price! It was 37 minutes to Winterplace and perfect for evenings together after skiing all day! The kitchen stocked with some basics and treats as well, really helped to make it the perfect stay!! Thank you!

    The Top of the Town was the perfect vibe for our girl's getaway/reunion weekend. Surrounded by beautiful mountains and near the New River, we couldn't resist the views from the porch and spent most of our time relaxing and visiting on the porch. This was at 10/10 spot and we are already dreaming/planning a return trip.

    The top of the town house is gorgeous for a 100 year old home. It had everything we needed. Loved the little details of ample tissues, and towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. Pet friendly with a little yard that our puppy loved. Great rental if you are visiting the new river gorge national park.

    Home is beautiful, well-kept (especially the pretty woodwork), and the view is amazing. The bathrooms have been redone and are very nice. The kitchen was well-equipped, the best of any B&Bs we’ve stayed in in Hinton. We were there during a boiling hot week in summer and the a/c kept up fine. Would DEFINITELY stay here again.

    Enjoyed stay. Would recommend bringing your own charcoal. Charming property, can park 3 cars if needed. We used Hinton as our base to go hiking and explore the area. Lots to do. Comfortable living room. There’s a Kroger nearby for groceries. We had a slight mishap and needed the nearby hospital which turned out to be very friendly and professional.

    Home was good, central location for a 4 day exploration of this part of WV. Got some quirks, but comfortable.....One caution is that parking is extremely difficult for a full size pick up truck (F150). Backing in is only choice, and even then a huge stump is in play. Basically left F150 parked all weekend, as you can't get it out with another car in driveway ...other car was Ridgeline compact pickup.Watch your head if you are tall. Cracked head into wall over washer/dryer, entry light, and lintels in hallway to kitchen. Approx 6'5 clearance in entry way, under 6 at washer dryer.Window AC's struggled to keep house cool in 90 degrees temps. Those are annoyances, and cautions. They would not stop me from booking and enjoying this place again. But with a smaller car.Comfortable, clean, well set up, good location, and reasonable price...those Trump annoyances every time. We liked the place, and would definitely return

    House was very charming and still had so much of its original character. The beds were very comfortable and the porch was enjoyed by all. We were a group of 6 adults and the seating in the living room was not adequate. At least 1 other chair would have been nice. The location was great and close to many activities.

    A very welcoming house with a great view, nice porch; very clean, nothing to complain about - the opposite; unless you are stuck on a dishwasher, which they don't have.
