The attention to detail throughout is impressive. Each guest room (I've stayed in all 4) is beautifully appointed with the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. Little touches like a tray of muffins and orange juice greet you upon check-in. The house manager welcomes you, gives you a quick rundown on the features and security codes, and then leaves you to get settled in. Sometimes we're the only people staying in the whole house! When there is another guest (s), you rarely see them and never hear them. The house is set up to accommodate groups of family/friends with a great back patio area and an amazing kitchen set up- all to be used by any guests staying at the house. It's the only place I'll stay when visiting the Hinton area.

We were extremely pleased with everything about it once we arrived. The remodel in 2007 was beautifully done. The Kathleen Suite was perfect for my wife, two daughters and I. Although most of the furnishings were authentic and antique, they were tastefully redone and everything worked. The lighting fixtures, the air conditioning, ceiling fans, the modern locks for the doors, and the beautifully redesigned kitchen were perfect. Since we were on a week long road trip we were pleasantly surprised that the house had two full size washers and dryers available for guests to use (including soap and fabric softener). The next day we discovered that the Kenneth Suite had its own washer and dryer inside. We were called the day before we arrived and asked what kind of quiche we wanted. It was was custom made for us the day before our arrival. The next morning we popped it into the oven, followed the directions and baked it for 15 minutes at 450 degrees and we had one of the most delicious quiches ever!! Add that the price is very reasonable, the house is extremely clean and Hinton is a cool little town, I wish we could have stayed longer.

There are several things that need to be understood regarding Powerhouse ATV Lodge. Regarding "ATV Lodge" there are 2 completely different "buildings" I would almost say different Locations, although they are on the same property. The "Mansion" was built approximately 1900, it was built by one of the coal barrens of the time. It will give you insight into the opulence of the early 19th century. The eat in kitchen is modern; there is a quaint TV room with flat panel TV. Then there is a large dining room with fireplace, where there are entrances from both sides of the home to enter into, it has a tile floor so there are no worries of water, mud or dirt on the floor. Off the kitchen to the other side is a Large Formal Dining room with its 12-14 ft ceiling. From there you go into a large continues area, yet separated, that includes a formal tea sitting area, huge fireplace, over stuffed couch and chairs in front of the fire place with another large flat panel TV. All TV have Dish network satellite TV, there is free long distance calling, and high speed internet. Do not plan on using your cell phone, some phones will text reliably, but cell service is intermittent at best. There are other sitting and reading areas around the outside with stained glass windows. There are two bedrooms off the dining room with their own outside entrances and bathroom. There is another bathroom off the tv room. Several upstairs bedrooms have their own bathrooms, plus there is/are large shared bathrooms on the second floor with plenty of hot water. The second floor bedrooms are large with beds and furniture that go with the décor of the 1900's home with modern conveniences. I believe the Mansion sleeps approximately 14 people with easy, you would not feel crowded at all. My last stay there was 7 people and we had to actually look for each other as there was so much room. I would consider staying here just as a get away for a weekend or a week. The ATV riding is just a bonus! Off the south porch is a large yard with a large fountain, a gazebo and terraced lawn. There are a number of things to explore outside. While on the subject the south entrance has a large covered ground level cement deck patio with table and chairs. You can leave things outside protected from the elements. The north side is a raised porch with a roof so property left on the porch there is also protected from weather. The north porch has the driveway up to it with a high pressure water house, so you can drive your atv up each evening and wash it off. The second lodge, I believe was the care takers home, is a brick home with 1 story at ground level, were you can drive your atv up 6 feet of the front door with covered cement porch deck, sit in the deck chairs or swing in the chain glider. High pressure water to wash off your atv, and coarse crushed stone for drainage is a nice addition. Then parking for the atv on the opposite side of the driveway again on crushed stone for water drainage. There also is lodging on the lower level of the home with walk out basement; both have their own gas grill. Bathroom is a combination tub/shower with no shortage of hot water. The ground level has two bedrooms, 3 single beds in one and a single and twin/double in the other each trip someone usually sleeps on the couch as it is so comfortable. Eat in kitchen with a/c, glass top cook range, satellite TV flat panel, couch and chairs in the living room. As mentioned in another review the coal train is in the valley below. The home is built on rock, so there is no movement or feeling of the train going past, just some sound of the train, which is just a steady noise, NO click clack associated with a traditional train. My last trip to PowerHouse ATV Lodge, I took my wife for her first trip, my son and I stayed at the care takers home, my wife remarked that after the 1st hour there she did not notice the trains. The trains are slow moving and in the evening after approximately 10 pm, they slow even more and the numbers decrease. In my week there I never had the trains interrupt anything I was doing, talking, watching TV or sleeping! The ATV riding from the location is superb! From your front porch you have access, without transporting your atv, to Pocahontas, Indian Ridge, Pinnacle Creek and Rockhouse (Rockhouse connection is a long ride). Then there are miles and miles of outlaw trails, and uncharted trails to explore. There are numerous destination rides, to the Mexican Restaurant in Pineville, the ice cream sandwich Shoppe in the old drugstore in Bramwell, the drive in restaurant and ice cream and many others. Each trail system is a little different. Of these four I would say Pocahontas is the easiest, if there is a drawback it seems all the trail heads the first part of the trails is

I looked into a Bed and Breakfast and found the Rockwood Manor. The price was what you would expect with no price gouging whatsoever. It turned out to be a very happy turn of events. Rockwood Manor is about a 15 minute drive from Radford university and was perfect for our needs. The Manor is on the historic register. A bit rustic on in places, it was last renovated in 2005. It is a beautiful place and our Hosts Frank and Rochelle were warm, friendly and very welcoming. We stayed in the Blakemore room. It had lots of windows which provided a nice view of the property. Our room also had a jacuzzi which we used and it was amazing after a long day on the road. The bed was a bit more firm than what we are used to at home and we recommended a mattress topper but by no means is this a negative as it is a personal preference. The linens were nice and clean and smelled fresh. We walked around the property and they looked to be all set up for wedding events. Lots of space, lots of areas for photo ops. It would be an ideal place for a wedding with room for a reception. The inside while at one point was the family home was like walking through history. We loved it. My favorite thing about the place was that I felt at home. Frank and and Rochelle are wonderful hosts. The breakfast the next morning was great with options for everyone. They also set the food up buffet style which made me feel like I was at a big family breakfast :) The only suggestion I would have is for our hosts to look into some professional rug cleaning. There were a couple of stains in the rug under the table in our room would need professional stain removal to get out. This place is one of the best B&Bs my wife and I have ever visited. We loved it!!!

I want to preface this review by saying that we did not stay overnight in a room at The Greenbrier,…read morebut we did spend most of the day there, and I'm glad we did. When you pull in, you will be greeted by security at the front gate. We advised them we were there for the bunker tour and to do some shopping and they gave us a parking pass and directions to the best place to park. The resort is iconic, huge and pristine. We walked our dog around the grounds and up to the main building. Unfortunately, even though they say that the resort is dog friendly, there are some areas where dogs are not allowed. So I waited outside while my husband spoke to someone at the front desk about reserving a spot for the bunker tour. When he returned, I went inside while he stayed out front with our pup. When you walk in the decor hits you all at once and, if you are a Fallout fan like I am, everything just feels so familiar and comfortable. The bold, eccentric colors and patterns, the chandeliers and unique furniture... It's all there. I wandered through the shops which are upscale and fun to browse, even if you're just looking. I bought some giant macarons which were priced incredibly reasonably and really enjoyed them. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful, and even without reservations, we were able to get tickets to the bunker tour. Be advised that they made it very clear to us that getting tickets "day of" is not the standard experience, so I do recommend reserving tickets if you want to do the tour. The vault tour itself is probably closer to four stars, but it's definitely a must. Knowing there was a fully built secret congressional bunker hidden underneath this glamorous resort for decades is wild. You walk through the old dorm rooms and meeting areas and see how it was all set up so long ago. You're not allowed to take any photographs, but I did read some basic information before coming. Still, reading about it and seeing it are two totally different things. It cost well over $100 for the two of us to do the tour and that is before tip so it definitely isn't cheap. It would have also been nice to have more seating, especially for things like watching the video, etc. My feet hurt a little after the tour from standing so long on the hard concrete floors of the bunker. The only reason that we did not end up spending the night is that we really wanted to be inside some of the main buildings and although they do offer dog friendly accommodations, they are only located within certain cottages kind of on the edges or outskirts of the property. There is also a $250 fee for dogs so we decided at the time that it would not be worth it for us, however, full disclosure: we regret that decision. We definitely should have spent the night. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me and if I ever get the chance to come back here I will definitely get a room and stay as long as I can, soaking up the ambiance and anemoia.

Slouchy couches, stained carpet pulling away from the walls. The cheapest daily rack rate on a weekday is a whopping $400+/night, not including all their BS fees: $49 daily resort fee per room and 9.75% Historic Preservation Fund, 6% sales tax. SO NOT WORTH IT! Seriously, I get keeping the iconic Draper theme, but you gotta upkeep everything to warrant that price! I stayed here for 3 nights for a conference, and had multiple interactions with staff from calling to make reservations for activities, the bunker tour, dinner at the main dining room, bowling and the conference room facilities. Customer service ranged here from very nice, cheerful and helpful to unaccommodating, aloof, and just plain rude. When asked questions about the facility or amenities, the staff would often give me blank stares or just shrug and say they didn't know. I was checked in by a trainee who did not give any direction on how to get to my room in the BOONIES (Copeland Hills) and we drove around aimlessly until we gave up and went back to valet to get directions. When I asked if I could be in the main hotel with my coworker at check in, another snooty employee (senior or the trainer, I dunno) blatantly said "no, your group is assigned to the cottages", which was 100% a lie because my coworker simultaneously checked in with another trainee and was given a room in the main hotel. The next day, a second coworker was also given a room in the main hotel. They both complained their rooms were creepy feeling, dirty and in need of some major renovations. So I guess depending on how you look at it, I had it better since my cottage in the boonies wasn't as old and was in pretty good shape. The wait staff at the conference was too efficient! I left my untouched dessert literally for a few minutes at my seat and when I returned it was gone! My fiancé did the bunker tour and the bourbon tasting. He was the only one at the bourbon tasting at 5:00pm and no one showed up for the 6:00pm either. At the end, he was given a non itemized bill for $88 (the base price was $65) and then he tipped on top of the $88 thinking that was the base rate! Clearly the astronomical service fees were already embedded in there. Throughout our stay, we wondered where everyone was. Despite being reservation only, the main dining room was at best 25% full when we were there on a Friday night. Everywhere we went: basically empty. The many random sitting rooms, the restaurants, the casino, the bowling alley, indoor pool, the bars. The only activity that had a decent amount of people was the bunker tour. There were many private events we saw set up everywhere though, and our conference alone was about 300. So maybe that's their thing. My coworkers had mini fridges in their room in the main hotel, my room in the cottages did not. My coworker called room service for ice (there are no self service ice machines) and it was delivered 2 hours later when she was sleeping. The room service delivery fee is $5 for the main hotel, but $20 for my cottage in the boonies. Why do I have to pay 4x in delivery fees when I asked to be in the main hotel to begin with? Ridiculous. The Greenbrier is old and busted and riding on the "historic" factor to draw in guests. If I stayed here for leisure and paid for this out of my own pocket, I would be even more pissed.

A Wedding at Nesselrod on the New: A Beautiful Day Marred by Broken Promises…read moreWeddings are meant to be magical and stress-free. When we began planning ours, we envisioned an intimate micro-wedding with about 50 guests on a crisp November day. We chose Nesselrod on the New, under new ownership, for its rustic charm. Unfortunately, what should have been a beautiful experience was marred by disorganization, broken promises, and unprofessional behavior. When we first toured the venue in July, Brittany, the new owner, promised the barn would be fully enclosed with permanent walls and heated floors by our wedding date. She also offered to decorate based on a Pinterest board I sent. However, early signs of disorganization appeared: Brittany gave different price quotes, delayed the contract (which still had the previous owner's information), and needed multiple reminders on details we had already discussed. The major issue arose two weeks before the wedding when Brittany casually texted us that the barn walls would not be built; instead, she would hang cream-colored tarps. A week before the wedding, she added that the heated floors might not work either. At that point, with guests' travel already arranged, it was too late to cancel. The night before our wedding, while we were in the middle of a special family dinner, Brittany sent a picture of the barn with clear plastic stapled up around it. Her accompanying message was, "I like it better without the tarps, brings in more natural light." I responded, "The main thing is to make sure it is warm. It's going to be dark. We want the tarps." Her response? "I'm not going to use them, they cost a lot for one-time use." This was the moment everything came to a head. She had promised tarps. She had promised walls. And now she was choosing, unilaterally, to back out of those commitments the night before the biggest day of our lives. Her tone grew increasingly defensive and dismissive. She claimed she'd gone "above and beyond" for what we had paid, even though she hadn't delivered what was contractually promised. She even said she had sold a car to afford the plastic sheets, which she insisted were superior to the tarps anyway. Her texts continued to get more hostile. When I began crying, my family insisted I cease communication. On the wedding day, Brittany and her husband were still stapling plastic up hours before the ceremony. Our florist arrived to install floral arrangements on the arbor, and Brittany's husband--Joe--helped her while muttering curse words and angrily saying, "Who the f** holds a wedding in November?"*. That is not something a vendor should ever say, let alone at the actual event. Guests had to wear coats indoors because the heated floors were non-functional. Brittany and Joe spent the reception sitting at the edge of the dance floor in casual clothing, scrolling on their phones. They looked completely disinterested and detached--like they were bored employees at a DMV, not hosts of a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. Two teenage girls--wearing jeans and sweatshirts--wandered through the barn mid-reception holding a small dog. They helped themselves to food, stood around the drink table, and chatted with Brittany like it was a casual get-together. They even let the dog run around the dance floor, posing a tripping hazard while people were dancing. These girls made it into our wedding photos. Let that sink in. After the event, our family stayed behind to help clean up. We had been told that we only needed to remove the trash and that the venue staff would take care of the rest. However, someone had apparently gotten sick in the bathroom--and rather than quietly taking care of it as a venue host should, Brittany confronted my family and asked indignantly, "Who is going to clean the bathroom?!" My father and daughter-in-law ended up cleaning the mess in their wedding clothes. As our family packed up the decorations, Brittany casually suggested they leave them for her to use. She also wanted to keep the extra plates, cups, silverware, and food. It felt exploitative and incredibly presumptuous. At this point, our family was so done with the situation that they only left behind a box of crackers--which Brittany said she could use to feed her chickens. Brittany may be new to owning a venue, but there's no excuse for this level of disorganization, broken promises, and rudeness. What was most disappointing wasn't just that things didn't go as promised--it was the lack of professionalism, the gaslighting, and the hostile tone she took when we asked her to follow through on basic commitments. Our wedding ended up beautiful because of our loved ones and in spite of Nesselrod. Brittany's behavior added unnecessary stress to what should have been a joyful occasion. If you're considering Nesselrod on the New for your event, I strongly urge you to reconsider. A pretty venue is meaningless without professionalism and trustworthiness behind it.
