We really enjoyed staying at this location! Really close to downtown, across from a fairly popular bar, with a fantastic restaurant down the road within walking distance. Location had off street parking and was close to various hiking trails around the area.
Bill was as excellent host! Would recommend and return!
Great place for our family gathering. House was clean and well stocked. Great location. Close to new river gorge national park, restaurants and shopping.
The home was very comfortable with plenty of room to gather together or just visit one on one. We especially enjoyed the outside areas and the closeness to shopping and restaurants. I highly recommend this home if you have a group of couples and/ or individuals.
We were in town for a wedding at the Gaines Estate and this property was right across the road which made it perfect for us! It was exactly as described and absolutely beautiful!
This is the second time our family has stayed at this house. The host are great and very easy to reach. We had a wedding at the Ginza state and this location couldn’t be beat. It was close to the wedding venue as well as all the shops and restaurants Fayetteville has to offer. The house is very clean and well furnished. Highly recommend choosing The McGrath house for your next vacation!
A group of friends stayed here to attend a wedding at the Gaines Estate. The location is prime, with anything in downtown Fayetteville in walking distance (and Pies and Pies right across the street!). We enjoyed time outside on the porch, went shopping around town, and had plenty of space and everything we needed in the house.
We loved the house and and how close it was to restaurant's and the antique shops. There was plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely stay here again. 😊
The property was in excellent condition and in a great location! The historical house has been maintained very well. The space is perfect for multiple families and very comfortable! The property manager was easy to contact and took care of our questions patiently and efficiently.

Wonderful and Well Equipped
This house was perfect for 10 of us. There was plenty of room to spread out and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you would need to make meals. The backyard and fire pit were also great. Overall, a very comfortable house that we will definitely come back to!
Our family enjoyed staying here for our daughter’s wedding. The house was very clean and well appointed. Bill was very accommodating, easy to get in touch with and provided us with information about the house and area which was very appreciated. This house is very close to the Gaines Estate and the town of Fayetteville, WV.

well maintained, clean, spacious, and convenient
The house is well maintained, very clean, and super spacious. Beds are very comfortable and towels are new and clean. Location is convenient. Kitchen is well equipped with pots, glasses, utensils, and many more. The outdoor patio with grill provides a relaxing space after a busy day. Bill is very friendly and stopped by with a loaf of yummy homemade poppy seed bread. We took his advice on two hiking trails and both have amazing view.
The AC units are next to master bedroom, and therefore, master bedroom might not be suitable to people who are sensitive to noise. We did not find dishwasher soap, and luckily we brought one bottle. Big box stores are not faraway if you need anything.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting this area.
This was a halfway point for our family (NC and OH). We've stayed in the area three times before, but this property met our needs very well. Plenty of room, clean, and close to the New River Gorge National Park. Even found a bowling alley close by.
This was our second stay, one family stay and one friends stay. The house is well stocked, well-maintained, and very cozy. The location is unbeatable. We will be back!
My wife and I were not able to travel this trip, due to COVID-19 infections. Our adult children (all 30+) and their babies were able to go. They thought the house was real nice and enjoyed the town of Fayetteville.
We try to hold a family get together every year or two. There was a several year pause after COVID made it difficult. We found the property and thought it would be a good place to try. The home was great for our needs and allowed us to come together, try some activities in the area and come back to every night. We enjoyed the experience and recommend renting this property for other people thinking of holding similar family vacations.
We rented this property to accommodate family for a wedding nearby. It was a lovely historic property that still felt like home. We loved sitting on the front porch and relaxing. The location was perfect for us and the hosts couldn’t have been nicer.
Our entire family met for a birthday celebration. The house gave us plenty of room for everyone to enjoy spending time inside and outside. It's a lively home in a great location, allowing us to explore Fayetteville easily.
We had a fantastic week at this fantastic property. We had 12 ranging from 1-80 and all was great. Communication throughout the process and stay with the owners was excellent.
I give this property my highest possible recommendation!
Bill was easy to work with, the house was clean, and the location of the property was great.
