Two propane grills may be found on the back porch. We also have a charcoal grill located near the fire pit at the front of the house. Propane is provided but charcoal is not. Additional propane tanks can be found in the garage.We do not allow events or parties of any kind. We have a strict 18 guest maximum and do not allow any more than that number in the house at any time. For this reason, we ask that all guest entering the house are included on the reservation. If the house appears to be holding more than 18 guests then we will check the ring camera. If we find the maximum occupancy is exceeded then we will immediately contact Airbnb/VRBO and the reservation will be cancelled without refund. Other penalties may include being banned from Airbnb/VRBO. This policy is zero tolerance. The house was built in the 60s and for this reason we have concerns about the plumbing if more than 18 guests are present.

This is a zero-tolerance policy. Please note that some guests specifically look for rentals that do not allow pets due to their allergies. I myself am very allergic to dogs & cats. Violating this policy is not only against the rules but is also immoral.Please note: Ring cameras are installed at both front entrances and another overlooking the driveway/side entrance. This house is very unique in its build and layout. Included below is more history on the home and architecture, as well as an in-depth description of the layout. During our renovation of the house, we tried to keep as much of the original house and components as possible.

We find that the beauty & uniqueness of the original fixtures to be worth dealing with these quirks!This is the destination for Family Reunions in Southern WV! The Amherst Retreat was designed by architect E.T. Bogges in the mid 1960's as a residence for Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Lewis. The home was built on the cliffs overlooking the New River Gorge at Arbuckle Creek. The home was remodeled in 2019, however, we are constantly working on future improvements. We have installed new roof, HVAC, electrical, drywall, floors, lighting, appliances, furniture, and thousands of hours of elbow grease to restore the home to its original glory. The mansion was built using nothing but the finest materials from around the globe. The siding is redwood and stone. The doors are mahogany. The cabinets are wormy chestnut. The house has marble fireplaces, countertops, and showers. Detailed, ornamental doorknobs and brass fixtures are found throughout the house. The kitchen is over 1,000 square feet and is lined with the original Wormy Chestnut cabinets, large food prep island, handmade French fixtures, Italian marble counter tops, and updated with all new Samsung appliances as well as a custom deep concrete sink. There is a table that seats eight opposite the cooking area along the glass wall with one of many beautiful views of the gorge. A second chefs kitchen and pantry with an extra set of stainless-steel appliances for catering or large groups is located on the backside of the kitchen. The kitchen area alone is an amazing place to congregate and visit with friends and family. There is also a formal dining room with a table and chairs that comfortably accommodate ten. The Main Dining and Living Rooms are a combined 1,300 square feet with multiple exits to the 1,400 square foot back deck. These grand rooms have been renovated with new hardwood floors and furniture that will seat a small army. We were able to refinish the elaborate trim, the piano key crown molding, the Italian marble mantle, and an original silk oriental mural. The upper level is linked by brightly lit tile hallways guiding guests to the four upstairs bedrooms. The master bedroom upstairs has two queen beds and a pullout couch that fits a large family unit itself.

This bedroom has one of the best views into the gorge and a half bath right beside the entrance. The final two upstairs “Jack & Jill” bedrooms have a hallway between them that features a full bath and his & her vanities. These four bedrooms alone will accommodate many different sleeping arrangements. All the fixtures and faucets in the upper-level baths are outfitted with mid-century phylrich brass details that have been refinished by a local jeweler.The lower level is accessed by a spiral stairway off the kitchen and has three bedrooms. Two of the downstairs bedrooms have their own private full baths. One of these bedrooms has a king-sized bed while the other has a full-size bed and a pullout sofa.
