Welcome to Bluestone Manor, a restored mountain home on 3 acres adjacent to the Bluestone State Park and Bluestone Lake. The home offers 3500 square feet and has everything you need for a perfect vacation in the mountains. Whether you like to hike, fish, hunt, golf, ski or simply hang out and read or watch movies, our home has it all.
The four bedrooms sleep 10 in beds ( 1 king, 3 queens, 2 twins ) with a queen murphy bed and twin sleeper to round out the number to 13. You will enjoy watching movies and shows in our theater/media room with real reclining theater chairs and surround sound. The main living room also has an 85 inch TV with seating for 12 plus a table that seats 7-8. The fully stocked kitchen has all the appliances and amenities to prepare meals for large numbers including a 36 inch cooktop, two refrigerators, microwave, oven, air fryer, blender, and even a built-in icemaker capable of making 50 lbs of ice per day. We also have a stocked coffee bar with both drip and Keurig cup coffeemaker. The breakfast room table has a great view of the mountains and seats 6.
The home has been completely remodeled with all new floors, paint, fixtures, and furnishings. The beds have high-end mattresses like Beauty Rest Black and Tempurpedic. Outside, you will find a huge flagstone patio with seating for 20 people including 4 soft recliners, two tables, a gas grill, and a propane fire table (bring the marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers).
For music lovers, you will find a Yamaha Clavinova piano in the great room.
As nice as the home is, the best part is its location. Bluestone State Park which borders the property offers hiking trails, a pool, picnic areas, and most importantly Bluestone Lake. The lake, which is part of the New River, is 10 miles long and is surrounded by the State Park and the Bluestone Wildlife Management Area. Opportunities abound for great boating and some of the best fishing in West Virginia. Just down the road about 15 minutes you will find Pipestem Resort State Park, the gem of West Virginia parks. At Pipestem there is every outdoor activity that there is. Whether it is golfing on the 18 hole golf course or the 9 hole short course, ziplining the 9 station zipline into the gorge, riding the gondola for a meal at the Mountain Creek Lodge, hiking one of the 20 trails, mountain biking, or having the kids play at the splash park, Pipestem has something for everyone.
The home is also only a few miles from the newest National Park, the New River Gorge National Park. Offering more hiking, white water rafting on the New River, and some of the best views in the country, the park is open year round and at no charge!
If you want to have some fun in the winter, Winterplace Ski Resort is only a 30 minute drive. Even if you don't ski, Winterplace has an awesome tubing center that will whisk you down the hill and carry you back up to do it all over again.
We have stayed in a lot of mountain houses that are great, but are so far from civilization that even getting simple groceries is a long drive. Not so at Bluestone Manor. Hinton, WV is a 12 minute drive and offers a Kroger grocery store, a Walgreens pharmacy, and many restaurants. Hinton is also home to the Railroad Museum and has an Amtrak station. We recommend taking a train ride through the New River Gorge or up the tracks to the Greenbrier Hotel, an experience you will never forget.
