Rent a Whole Island + House in New River Gorge National Park (For the Price of a Hawaii Hotel Room)
After the pandemic, doesn’t a relaxing vacation on a private island sound glorious? It could be easier and more affordable to achieve than you might think. Once you’re ready to gather friends and family, you can rent a cabin that sleeps ten within National Park all to yourself for less than $40 per person. And bonus – It’s a vacation spot within an 8-hour drive from 60% of the U.S. population.
The Cabin on Coney Island is not in Brooklyn
This Coney Island is an island located in Hinton, West Virginia, a popular swimming spot since the early 1900s and now part of New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Following the passing of a recent bill, West Virginia’s New River Gorge is now federally protected as a national park and preserve, making it the newest addition to the National Parks Service and America’s newest National Park.

Seven splendid, private acres all to yourself
When you rent the cabin, managed by The Guest House Inn, a subsidiary of MountainPlex, you have the entire island to yourselves. The cabin on the seven-acre island offers loads of amenities. Consider this gem if you’ve dreamed of visiting America’s national parks, but the record-level crowds have turned you off!
Bring Your Whole Gang
The cozy cabin has three bedrooms: two rooms with queen beds and a sleeping loft with three trundle-style twin-sized beds, providing space for up to 10 people to sleep.
It also has a kitchen stocked with essentials and 1.5 bathrooms.
And did we mention your own sandy beach?
“The cabin is perfect for a small group or a romantic weekend retreat,” Stephanie Stiffler, the director of hospitality for MountainPlex, told West Virginia Executive. “The outside has a beautiful custom fire pit right off the front porch, outdoor games, hammocks, a screened-in porch overlooking the beautiful New River, a sandy beach, and even a walking trail to the tip of the island.”
You’re gonna need a boat
The cabin is available from mid-May through September, with rates starting at $332 a night. The island is only accessible by water, but guests can use a local ferry service, rent a boat or even paddle across. Reservations can be made through Airbnb or at guesthousewv.com.
