As West Virginia’s New River Gorge grows in popularity, the demand for lodging near all of the amazing attractions it offers will become greater and greater. If you have a big group you’re trying to house in the New River Gorge area for a retreat, or vacation, consider The Ponderosa Lodge, a massive, country-style accommodation that sleeps up to 32.
As you drive up the winding country lane to The Ponderosa Lodge and Farm, you'll immediately see how it got its name - the lodge is framed by a backdrop of lush Ponderosa Pines.
It's a scenic spot located just off the Midland Trail and within easy reach of West Virginia's famed New River Gorge - and it's big enough to host even the largest of groups.
Each of the lodge's 10 bedrooms has a private bath. All the rooms are themed for local attractions, including iconic West Virginia features like Hawk's Nest, Tamarack, the Gauley River, and more.
Pictured here is the Double-Queen-sized New River Gorge Bridge Suite.
Five of the bedrooms have two full beds, one bedroom has two queen beds, one bedroom has a king bed, and three bedrooms have one queen bed for a total capacity of 32 guests.
The Lodge's Great Room is a unique throwback to the origins of the lodge building itself. Built in the 1970s, the lodge was originally used as a zoo! All of the animals mounted in the great room are specimens from that original zoo.
The Ponderosa Lodge is set on a working farm, and there's lots to do and see on the lodge grounds: animals, a greenhouse, a playground, fields of produce, and more. Plus, the location is convenient to dozens of West Virginia's most popular tourist attractions, from the New River Gorge Bridge to Babcock State Park and more.
