Heydt Homestead

A five-minute drive from Seneca Rocks and a perfect get away for your climbing, hiking, fishing, caving, and skiing trips. This quirky, homey, recently renovated farm house is at the epicenter of Canaan Valley, Spruce Knob, North Mountain trail, and the Dolly Sods. A fantastic location for lovers of the outdoors or those in need of a rest. Enjoy the Allegheny Mountain views of the Monongahela National Forest, the neighbors horses, and be lucky enough to be lulled to sleep by the whippoorwill!

Family getaway

It was a great stay! The hosts were super easy to contact and very friendly when answering questions. The property was exactly what we needed. A good central location, clean and accessible too. All in all a good trip. Little disappointed everything’s wasn’t quite open yet, but that’s okay, trip still did its job.

Maple Days WV and VA

Maple Days WV and VA was going on and this was located in the center of both. Also nearby Distillery and Cider tasting rooms participated. There is no TV or cell if the WiFi is down, so be aware if you need TV which we didn't need. Open first floor made the house very roomy. Owners were very helpful.

Camping and a Wedding

My friends and I were going to a wedding in Petersburg so we decided to make a long weekend trip out of it and stayed in Seneca Rocks. This house was just perfect! It’s quiet, cozy, and stocked with all the necessities. Honestly, we didn’t need anything other than our own personal items and food. The hosts have thought of everything! The beds are comfortable and the shower is great. The ground level is more spacious than it appears in the photos. That was a nice discovery. The house is centrally located to many local attractions: Seneca Rocks, Smoke Hole Caverns, and Spruce Knob. There’s a local grocery store and restaurant only a 7 min drive away. We were even able to take a drive into Davis to go to Blackwater Falls State Park. And since the wedding was in Petersburg, we spent an evening there for dinner. It was all made even more perfect with the responsive contact with the hosts. We ran into a little issue at the house (totally our fault) and they responded so quickly and were so very helpful. If I could give more than 5 stars on this review, I would!

Seneca Rocks getaway

This property is clean and just what we needed for our family of 5, the only thing I would change is the sliding door to the upstairs bathroom be a little bigger to fully cover the doorway. But other than that it’s great.

A weekend of hiking

Wonderful location close to the hikes and sight seeing spots we had on our bucket list. The house was very comfy and had everything we needed for a memorable weekend. And for an added bonus there is a great book selection here!

Perfect spot for a quick family trip

This home was perfect for what our family was looking for - a clean, comfortable base from which to explore the local area. Everything was as described in the listing and by previous reviewers. Garrett was quick to respond to questions we had. We would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a getaway in the West Virginia mountains.

Great Place!!

Well worth it! I've been traveling to these mountains for most of my life. The location is less than an hour from some of the most desirable attractions in the West Virginia Mountains. I'm on track to complete the WV Waterfall Trail. The Holy Grail was the Seneca Creek Falls. We started at Spruce Knob and hiked down to the falls and back. The cabin had everything we needed. A comfortable and quiet location with every amenity.

West Virginia Mountain Stay

We stayed at the Heydt Homestead over Memorial Day weekend as a base point for some adventures in the area. We stayed with my dad, father in law, and 3 year old son. This was the perfect spot with plenty of quiet around to relax and enjoy each other's company. Super close to Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob.

Spring Break In A Unique Place

My friend and I had an amazing time in West Virginia. We wanted to visit before shipping out for basic training, and had the time and views of our life. More importantly, the Heydt Homestead was a very relaxing and nice place to return to. It’s in a great location relative to things to do and places to see, while still being secluded enough that neighbors don’t keep you up at night. The home was amazing, and we are beyond grateful we had the pleasure to stay here. Thanks! - Elijah & Brandon

Great Stay at a Charming Seneca Rocks Home

My family and I enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Heydt Homestead in Seneca Rocks. Garrett and Isabelle's house was just as advertised, and provided more than my family and I needed as we were there for some skiing and Canaan Valley exploration. You could tell the work they put into renovating this old farm house. With three upstairs bedrooms, it easily fit our family of four, while providing the space downstairs for play and eating.

Quiet Getaway

Very quiet house. No televisions, no noise, no distractions. The house had everything we needed. We appreciated the little details. The only thing I gave it four stars on was the fact that it did have quite a few cob webs in the corners. Besides that, everything else was clean. Thanks for a great weekend. We will be back.

This place was perfect!

Everything was perfect! Our hosts were totally awesome and available and we had no problems with the rental. Even some things we didn't bring were supplied - baking/ cooking supplies, candies in the cabinets, foil and saran wrap... All the little things were already taken care of. House was beautiful and the photo book on the table told the story of its remodel. We stayed over a long weekend to do some hiking and exploring and the location was great! We were able to see Dolly Sods, Spruce Knob, Blackwater Falls, Seneca Rocks, Smokehole Caverns and Canaan Valley all within a short drive from the homestead! These are awesome people who rent out an awesome property that was just what we needed! Love, love, love!

Beautiful Farmhouse

Last minute booking for recuperation after Firefly Music Festival and it was just what the doctor ordered. Wish it had been available for longer! Lovely location with larger neighboring farms. Very thoughtfully equipped and finished home; I especially appreciated how well set-up the kitchen is. Great proximity to outdoor activities - Dolly Sods was stunning. Love to return and explore further. You could come here, never leave for a week and just enjoy the property or spends months exploring the local area every day. Thank you for sharing!
