Al's Place - A place to Dream

Fisherman paradise, Rafters hideout, Hikers boot-stop, Golfers Ace in the Hole, Family Vacation, the list goes on and on. This adorable cabin on the great New River in Summers Co, WV is in the heart of all things tourist. It is also part of the New River National Park. There are tons of places to fish, several golf courses, ski resorts, rafting companies, hiking trails, the Famous New River Gorge Bridge, The Greenbrier Hotel, Glade Springs Resort, just to name a few of the places to check out, and things to do. Wild Wonderful West Virginia is loaded with so many beautiful Mountains and glistening waterways. Al's Place is nestled between a mountain on the back side and New River on the front with a 3 sided screened in porch to sit and sip your coffee, play card games into the night, or just visit, grill, and relax with good friends. It is 3 miles from I 64, so in Minutes you can go from a quiet relaxing cabin to our little country cafe, Sandstone Eatery, shops, stores, and all of the tourist places listed above.. it sleeps 8 with 2 bathroom but has a loft that if you want to bring your own blowup mattress for the kids there is enough room for 2 full size ones, so you just went from 8 to 10. It comes fully stocked with towels, linens, cookware and dinnerware, just bring your personal items and some groceries. Then you are all set to play, relax and just have fun.

Al's place
We had a wonderful time. It's so quiet and peaceful there. The train was an extra perk. It was amazing to see how long some of them were. The river was a little high due to rains but it was nice to just sit and watch the geese bob down the water. Would definitely stay there again as it's located in the perfect spot to visit the many the states beautiful sights. Thank you so much for opening your home to us!

This was a return visit for us to Al’s Place and once again we enjoyed every minute of it. If you like the river, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better location. We got hit with mostly rain but the screened-in porch made it possible to be outside and dry near the water. Great hosts, clean place, all you need is there. Thanks for having us!

Great location
Property is beautiful and right on New River. House was very clean and had everything we needed. Only downside was the proximity of the train but overall a great experience!

Cozy Cabin on the River!
We loved our stay in this cozy cabin for Thanksgiving! It was a great location for visiting New River Gorge National Park, and my children loved having the river in the backyard. We made a fire in the fire pit and ate hot dogs and s’mores, cooked up Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen, and enjoyed our days hiking. We had a great time! We want to come back in the summer to have more opportunities to do things on the river. Cabin was stocked with utensils, plates, cups, etc. I always said my kids could sleep through a freight train, and it looks like I was right. When the trains passed by I was the only one who stirred. :) Thanks for a great stay!

Great WV vacation
We had a very nice time at this property. The wrap around porch was great sitting in the evening and relaxing. The river is right there and has a nice calming effect. The upstairs area was nice for reading and watching a movie. Everthing you need is available. Ellen was very quick to respond and answer all questions. Really had a nice time. Only surprise was how close the train is.
