Cabins near New River Gorge National Park put you close to places like Thurmond while giving you an easy home base for the entire weekend! Thurmond is one of the most unexpected stops inside New River Gorge National Park. Once one of West Virginia’s busiest railroad towns, it’s now nearly abandoned, with preserved buildings, active tracks, and reminders of the coal and rail industries that once shaped the gorge. And if you’re planning a trip, September through November is one of the best windows to explore this part of West Virginia. The temperatures cool down, the summer crowds begin to thin, and you can pack a lot into a few days without feeling rushed. I’d stay at @starfarmwv , just five minutes from New River Gorge National Park. Spend the day exploring Thurmond, Babcock State Park, and the New River Gorge Bridge, then come back to a hand-crafted cabin for two on ten gated acres, with a soaking tub, fire pit, and space to slow down before heading back out the next morning. ✨ Save this for your New River Gorge weekend, and search Star Farm WV when you’re ready to plan the stay. Ten gated acres. Built for two. Book direct at starfarmwv.com. #NewRiverGorge #ThurmondWV #WestVirginiaTravel #NewRiverGorgeNationalPark #FayettevilleWV
