We are located on the corner of Lansing-Edmond Road and Rt 82/CR5- known locally as Fayette Station Road. We are barely 1/4 mile off of US 19 next to West Virginia's world famous New River Gorge Bridge. Fayette Station Road winds under the 'big' bridge and continues down and across the river passing many climbing spots, hiking trails, streams and waterfalls. Come enjoy the natural beauty of this senic one way road any time of year.
The Riverrock Hostel offers 4 bunkrooms with 2 beds in each; one room has a full size bottom bunk and twin size top, the rest are twin size (more beds can be added if needed for larger groups). There is no kitchen area but we do have a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker for you to use. Carpeted open space makes up the rest of the upstairs area, with couches, chairs and dining table. The downstairs houses the bunkrooms, the bath area (showers (2), commodes (2), vanity sink) and more carpeted space that opens to the backyard and fire ring.

What is a Hostel? This B&B-- without the breakfast-- concept is well known throughout Europe. Hostels are more simple than hotels or motel in the ammenities offered and are generally lower priced because they have shared multi use common areas, showers and limited kitchen facilities.
The Hostel is the perfect place for traveling individuals or groups to stay ... if you are just passing through, don't hesitate to call us. We are conveinently located near the most popular rock climbing and hiking trail heads - the Fern Creek, Diamond Point, Nuttal and Endless Wall trails are less than a 1/4 mile away- you can walk to most of them directly from the Hostel. The Bridge Buttress and Bridge Overlook area are within a 1/2 mile. Just about as close is plenty of rafting, biking, historic districts and restaurants, and we are just around the corner from the National Park Visitor Center -a great place to start any visit to the area. We have plenty of parking and a small general store right across the street. Lots of restaurants are near by- some with-in walking distance for heartier folks.
Don't be fooled by our affordable prices.... the Hostel offers a Simple, Clean and Comfortable homestyle stay for you, your family and friends.
