About this property

BaseCampWV-Durbin. Spacious 4 bedroom house w/yard

Built in 1900, this beautifully restored 4-bedroom 3 bath Victorian sleeps between 10 and 16. Original hardwood floors and trim throughout. Full kitchen, dining room, laundry room, and a living room with wood burning stove. Located in the quaint historic railroad town of Durbin, still offering scenic rail excursions.
This house is your base camp for hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, skiing, rail attractions and overall activities in West Virginia. Within walking distance to both the Allegheny Trailhead, and the West Fork Rail Trail for walking, hiking and biking. Fishing at Spruce Knob Lake, Buffalo Lake, Greenbrier River (plus the East Fork and West Fork), Little River, and Shavers Fork, to name a few. Within walking distance of the Durbin Railroad for the Durbin Rocket. Additionally, Base Camp-WV is within 45 miles (or less) to Seneca Rocks, Spruce Knob, Green Bank, Cass, and Snowshoe. Finally, if you don’t want to go anywhere, and stay-in for a day, this house has a comfortable wrap around porch for sitting and a large yard for kids to play.
Base Camp WV - Durbin is fully furnished, as listed in the Amenities. All beds are queen size. If the weather is undesirable, there are books and games as well as a wood burning stove for cozy cold evenings.
There is not a grocery store in the immediate vicinity. Please bring food with you. There is a refrigerator and freezer . There is also an area for coffee (an assortment of coffee is provided). Pots, pans, service ware etc. all for up to 12 guests.
No smoking inside.
PETS - Message me about pets prior to booking.
The house is vacant between stays. It is cleaned after a guest vacancy, and if it has been sitting for a long period, it is cleaned again. This house may have new insects due to both the vacancy and being in the country.
While Base Camp WV - Durbin is a good place for children, please note this is for older children. The house is not child proof. There is not a crib (but there is a playpen), or outlet plugs, or safety gates. If you choose to bring younger children please exercise caution with supervision.
Guests are welcome to the entire property. There is off street parking.
I will make every effort to assist you with the unexpected events that may occur during your stay. Please message me in the app for communication.
This is a small town with nice people. It is very quiet at night, one of the many charms. The train runs a few times a day during the summer. Staying here puts you within walking distance of the trail into the Mon National Forest and fishing in the West Fork of the Greenbrier.
Durbin is 12 miles from Greenbank, 29 miles from Snowshoe, and 48 miles from Elkins.
This is a rural neighborhood. Please be respectful by being a good neighbor; Which includes keeping noise down in the night hours and maintaining a clean area. Thank you.

Peaceful New Year

This house was one of those old spacious houses that make you want to go buy one tomorrow. I especially enjoyed the dinning room and the living room. It was incredibly peaceful watching the fire crackle while the new year came in and than in the morning watching my kids eat breakfast with the snowfall as a back drop in the bay window. We have no complaints although anyone wanting to experience this house do take the property managers warning on no local grocery stores. We did but we thought maybe there was some exaggeration. Boy were we glad we planned ahead as there was no exaggeration at all :)
