About
This family-run sawmill nestled in the Appalachian mountains welcomes overnight guests with genuine hospitality and a passion for showcasing their craft. Located just minutes from Babcock State Park and within easy driving distance to New River Gorge National Park, the property offers an ideal base for exploring the region's natural attractions and scenic hiking trails. Guests consistently praise the welcoming atmosphere and the opportunity to learn about custom hardwood production while enjoying peaceful mountain surroundings. The property features two camping spots with the option of 30-amp electrical hookups, fire pits with ample firewood, and multiple walking trails through the wooded grounds. The gravel parking areas are maintained to be as level as possible, and guests can explore the on-site kiln and board-and-batten shop. Many visitors particularly enjoy gathering around the evening fire pit, a thoughtfully provided amenity that enhances the rustic camping experience and creates opportunities for outdoor relaxation. The on-site retail shop offers locally-made products including hand-crafted salves, pickled vegetables, and premium hardwoods for those interested in woodworking projects. Guests appreciate the educational aspect of the location, with opportunities to observe sawmill operations and gain insight into Appalachian timber production. The serene mountain setting provides excellent opportunities for wildlife observation, dog walking, and enjoying the natural forest atmosphere with clean mountain air. This location appeals especially to travelers seeking a quiet, authentic experience near major regional parks. The peaceful overnight stays, combined with the unique opportunity to learn about a working family business and access to nearby outdoor recreation at Babcock State Park and New River Gorge National Park, make this a memorable stop for those exploring West Virginia's natural beauty.
