The front entrance and the bathroom are enhanced and protected by tile floors, while the loft floor is softened by carpet. Thick pine lumber was crafted for the stairway to the loft. Professionally hand-made wormy chestnut cabinets adorn the kitchen and the eat-in bar, bathroom vanity, bath mirror, and medicine cabinet door.

Just minutes to Bluestone Lake, Sandstone Falls, Bluestone State Park, and Pipestem Resort, the surrounding area offers unlimited soft recreational activities including white water rafting, golfing, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, bird watching and rock climbing. Snow skiing at the Winterplace Resort is less than 45 minutes away. In fifteen minutes you can catch the Amtrak train in Hinton and ride to the Greenbrier Resort, Chicago or New York City. The Beckley Airport is just 45 minutes away. The new 10,000 acre Boy Scout high adventure camp is an hours drive and the 14,000 acre Wildlife Management Area is just around the corner at Bull Falls.

The New River is the second oldest river in the world, preceded only by the Nile; it is the oldest river in North America. The New River is unique because it begins in Blowing Rock, N.C. and flows north through Virginia into West Virginia. The Nile and Amazon are the only other major rivers that also flow north. Year after year, it produces more citation fish than any other warm water river in WV. Small-mouth bass, large-mouth bass, crappie, catfish, sunfish, hybrid striped bass, and muskie are all common species of fish found in the New River and Bluestone Lake.

Bluestone Lake is over 2000 acres at summer pool and is the states third largest body of water. Bluestone Retreat adjoins great hunting and fishing opportunities abound at the 17,632 acre Bluestone Wildlife Area adjacent to the park and nearby Camp Creek State Forest.
