The Top of the Town - Large comfortable dog friendly home. Fish, Hike, Float!

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. It is spacious, airy and bright. A 103 year old Victorian that is as quirky as it is charming. Large kitchen and dining room for those of you who want to eat in. Large open living room with smart TV for relaxing and taking in a movie, or spreading out for your morning yoga sesh! Namaste! 🧘🏼

We offer three bedrooms, each with a comfortable queen bed and window a/c unit for a comfortable night’s sleep(in season). But we can also accommodate a 7th person if they don’t mind sleeping on our couch (pillow, linens provided. Not a pull out couch). Two full baths and washer and dryer available. 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 for easy in and out. We are not accepting multiple dogs or any other animals at this time.

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. 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. The Greenbrier, Bluestone and New Rivers all converge just minutes from the house for some first class fishing. 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.
Other attractions:
We are 32 mins from Grandview
We are 63 mins from the Canyon Rim Visitor center and the NRG Bridge and Bridge walk.
66 mins to the Endless Wall Trail
75 mins to the Gauley River put-in
75 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 Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs.
For winter visitors we are also just over 15 miles from Winterplace if skiing, snowboarding and tubing are more your speed! Lewisburg and the WV State fairgrounds are about a 40 minute drive. 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.

New Year’s

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.

Beautiful and Unique Hinton

We had a great time visiting the area and staying at the house. We appreciated the hospitality provided by the hosts and we like to stay in unique places like Hinton. The mountains and trails are beautiful and we’d love to return to the area again sometime to see other parts of the national park. Thanks!

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.

West Virginia experience

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was great. It could use a little polish but the view makes up for it. One of the mattresses was super firm which we didn’t like but the other 2 were fine. The house is at the top of the hill so you have some steep climbs to get to the house and in to the parking spots. The front porch overlooks the little town with wooded mountains all around. It’s a quiet little place amidst the town with a couple cute restaurants in the town below.

Perfect for my family

This house was perfect for my family. If you love old houses and their quirkiness, this works great for a home base for which to tour the New River Gorge if you don't want big city vibes. We (my husband, our 2 20+ year old sons and our 13 year old mini doodle spent a week at Top of the Hill. The house sits at the top of a steep, short hill and with proper direction from the host, the driveway posed no problem for our minivan. The best part was the view from the porch. We loved drinking our coffee and watching the mist rise out of the surrounding valleys every morning. The town is a bit depressed but there are some real gems (Grandma's House antiques, Market on Courthouse Square, Hinton Railroad Museum and Otter & Oak). I can't say enough nice things about the people of Hinton and West Virginia. Would definitely go back.

We all — including the dog — loved our stay!

Top of the Town in Hinton was a wonderful, dog-friendly place to stay! We were only there for a few days, but we felt very much at home, and could easily envision making it home base for a longer visit to the area. The 102-year-old house is full of character and was exactly as advertised, with a wonderful kitchen full of all you need to cook some great dinners. We had a chance to explore a bit of Hinton (there are great views of the town from the front bedroom upstairs), and it was an easy drive to the New River Gorge National Park and several other local state parks. Our dog loved going up and down the stairs and the neighborhood hills, and would have loved to chase the deer we spotted in the neighborhood. Checking in and out was easy, and our hosts left a binder with tips, house rules, and suggestions for shopping, dining, and more. Eat at Kirk’s! We did…twice. :)

Clean, comfortable older home.

This house was so clean-and the beds and couches were all quite comfortable. One perk of the home was the fact that they had charging areas all over the home to plug into an outlet or a usb to charge our devices. That was quite nice. Also, the bathrooms were very well stocked with soft towels and washcloths. The road to the driveway was steep and coming from the street gps had us take to the homes street, we had a sharp turn where our tailgate hitch did drag a a bit. We found it easier to come in from a different angle to the steep portion and then, no dragging! Also, I found it easiest with just one vehicle there, to pull into the driveway and do a multi point turn to turn around in the driveway. It was a unique, older, settled home that we enjoyed staying in.
