Exclusive Experiences Every Fall!
Location, Location, Location!
Situated between two high demand tourism regions, New River - Greenbrier Valley and Mountain Lakes, Sweet Retreat always offers a unique set of conveniences. In the Fall, however, our proximity to one-of-kind annual experiences is unbeatable!
- Bridge Day: Every third Saturday in October, for 6 hours only, you can walk across one of the tallest and longest bridges in the country and see BASE jumpers take advantage of this rare National Park exception to leap from World Record Heights!
- Gauley River Season: The annual Gauley River Release from Summersville Dam. Known as the Beast of the East, this river is one of the top single-day whitewater experiences on the planet, limited to just 22 days a year!
All of this excitement happens with the fall colors of the Appalachian Mountains framing every photo!

Retreat, Recharge, Reconnect...
Retreat into the peaceful woods, the comfort of a roomy mountain home, and the slower pace that makes Sweet Retreat feel like a true getaway. Bring a book, claim a spot on the covered deck, wander through the shelves, settle into a hammock, or simply enjoy having enough room for everyone to spread out, breathe, and feel at home.
Recharge in the heart of Southern West Virginia, surrounded by state and national parks, trails, waterfalls, overlooks, and river adventures. Whether you want to hike, raft, swim, explore nearby small towns, visit local favorites, or stand beside the New River and remember just how old and beautiful this place really is, there is always another reason to come back.
Reconnect with the people who matter most in spaces made for gathering. Cook together in the spacious kitchen, play horseshoes or cornhole outside, bring out the board games, watch a movie, linger over coffee, share stories on the deck, or make Sweet Retreat your home base for another family weekend, reunion, celebration, or long-overdue escape.
