3 Bedroom House in Clendenin

Benedict Haid Farm is a family-owned business open, mostly for weddings, for the past 30 years. It features a large, historic 1860s hand-hewn log home on 400-acres, adjoining 10,000 acres of undeveloped corporate property. This is a nice place to get away for a while, or host a small retreat. The nearest commercial building is six miles away. :-)
The property was built by Benedict Haid and was later used as a Girl Scout camp in the mid-20th Century. Benedict Haid Farm is mostly used as a wedding destination. It has two bedrooms and a sun room with queen size sleeper, and 1 1/2 baths. Living room and dining room each with fireplace. Gas heat, A/C, and all modern conveniences like a gas grill. Huge heated attached deck with outside fireplace and hot tub. Free firewood.
There is walking access to a pond, Margaret's Pond, roughly .75 mile from the Haid House. You will have access to the surrounding woods, Margaret's Pond, and the nearby farmland, if you want to make such arrangements. There is a cattle farm on the property that we can arrange for you to see. If you are interested in holding an event, please contact us. The newly-renovated barn is available to be rented for events, as well. It was renovated using logs from historic log cabins formerly located in the South Hills section of Charleston.
Steve and Lee, the caretakers for the Benedict Haid Farm, live 100 yards away and can be contacted when necessary.

Summary: Beautiful, cozy, historic cabin in the mountains. Spotlessly clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with anything you’d need for cooking and food prep. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Antique decor was exceptional. Bedding was cozy and comfortable. View from the porch was gorgeous. The caretaker was friendly and visited within an hour of our arrival to make sure everything was in order. Special thank you to the owner, as there was a freak snowstorm which prevented us from leaving when we were supposed to, but he was super accommodating and concerned about our safety. It was much appreciated!

Summary: Beautiful area with a wonderful historical home. The home was decorated in wonderful antiques - beds were really comfortable! We had good cell service at the home and the tv is set up to cast from your phone which was a wonderful touch for rainy days. We loved the screened in porch area with hot tub. Loved the history and all of the local wildlife. The scenery was breathtaking! Hosts were very accommodating and prompt. Bathrooms were immaculate. The towels provided were awesome - spa quality with stretch to them. Trust me, you'll just have to try them out for yourselves. LOL Kitchen was amazing with restaurant sized stand alone refrigerator and a separate stand alone upright freezer. My husband LOVED the outdoor grill. We did pack a cooler with snacks and salads and breakfast items, drinks, etc., and would suggest you do the same as back up on days when you don't feel like traveling. Although geographically, there are many places to eat and grocery stores available, there are no short trips due to the winding roads. The home is in the hills/mountains and the roads to get there, although clearly marked and paved, are very, very narrow, with hair pin turns - normally without guard rails. You don't necessarily need 4wd, but a smaller, compact vehicle is the way to go because in many spots, it is pretty much one lane traffic and there is no shoulder to pull off on. Over all, we truly enjoyed ourselves and will be coming back.

Summary: We had the honor of spending Thanksgiving at this beautiful, remote cabin. The drive is breath taking - go slow! The home is like stepping into the past. We absolutely loved it! The kitchen is stocked exceedingly well!! Thank you! The period furnishings and decor are wonderful. Great descriptions on personal photos and news articles. And the porch - oh my word! Unfortunately it was cold, rainy and windy the m as jority of our trip bu the last fill day we were able to light the fire and relax in thst amazing space. We had one little bobble which the caretaker very promptly took care of. If you are looking for quiet, peaceful beauty this is your next get away! We traveled to the New River Gorge Bridge and the Lost world Caverns - despite the long drive I would highly recommend both!

Summary: Storms caused a power outage, AC was not working. The owner as well as Steve (works on the property) communicated with us and also made the VRBO comfortable with portable AC units until the main AC could be fixed. Steve was friendly (so was the AC guy) and easy to talk with. Thank you everyone!

Summary: Beautiful well maintained property in West Virginia. I love looking at the antiques and the mountain drive was very nice. The deck was the best place to unwind. It was in the second week of June but the temperature and low humidity made it perfect for the outdoor fireplace. We loved our time and would recommend the property to anyone that is interested in a tranquil getaway.

Summary: My sister and I wanted to take our Mom away for a girls weekend but wanted to stay close to home. Haid Farmhouse is only about an hour to our north and after reading all the reviews we couldn’t wait to get there. We had some local flooding in our area and had to leave our home early so that we wouldn’t get flooded in. I contacted Mr Pepper asking if we could check in a couple hours early. He checked with the property managers who said yes. Our stay was amazing. We enjoyed the rich history of the farm house and especially enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub then cozying up to a fire in the indoor fireplace. This place is very clean and had everything we needed. Thank you for allowing us to stay we can’t wait to come back!
