About this house rental
The Wiseman Cottage is a 2 story, 4 bedroom house built in 1930 and completely renovated in the last 4 years. It is the 4th vacation rental in Fayetteville owned and managed by Bill and Sally Wells under the Mountain Vacation Properties Banner. We pride ourselves in providing the best combination of location, luxury accommodations and price for our guests and you can see our guest reviews on our other properties #452740, #563229 and #707475 The house was the home of Doc Wiseman who was a prominent resident of Fayetteville and owner of a pharmacy and soda fountain that was located across the street from the courthouse. Wiseman Avenue, where the house is located was named after Doc Wiseman's father. The house has many beautiful architectural features like hardwood floors, built in cabinets and beveled glass doors. The recent renovations included complete remodeling of the kitchen and bathrooms. The house can accommodate up to 11 people. Bedroom #1 is located on the ground floor and contains a full size bed and a twin bed. The remaining bedrooms are located on the second floor. Bedroom #2 has a full size bed. Bedroom #3 has two twin beds and Bedroom #4 has a queen size bed and a master bath. The other full bathroom is also located on the second floor. There is a half bath on the first floor. The back yard is fenced in and the house is pet friendly. Parking is available in the driveway for up to 6 vehicles. No parking is allowed on the street. The house directly behind the Wiseman Cottage is one of our other vacation rentals (The McGrath House #707475). If you have a larger group, you can rent both houses. The McGrath House is a 4 bedroom house and sleeps up to 12. The Wiseman Cottage is 1.5 blocks from the center of downtown Fayetteville and is close to parks, shopping, restaurants and hiking/biking trails. The old Fayetteville Elementary School is immediately across the street and it has a large fenced in front yard that is now been converted to the town's dog park. The school also has a football field. Most of Fayetteville's unique shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance (1 to 3 blocks). The new Fayetteville Recreation Trail passes directly in front of the house and will take you to the 200 acre Gaines Property in one direction or to the New River Gorge Town Park Trailhead in the other direction. The Gaines Property is owned by our sister company, Cascade Properties, and guests at the Wiseman Cottage are free to hike/bike on the property. The Town Park Trailhead gives you access to miles of trails within and outside of the park. The New River Gorge Bridge and Bridge Walk attraction are only 1.5 miles away and the outdoor adventure outfitters are all within 4 to 7 miles.

Second time staying at this awesome rental. Location is perfect walking distance to many resturants, shopping and exploring downtown Fayetteville. Loved the private fenced in back yard!

We have been coming to Fayetteville off and on since 2007 for our sisters weekends. We absolutely fell in love with the Wiseman House and plan to come back here every year. There are 6 of us, and it’s been hard to find something in our price range where we can all have a bed!!
And it’s really centrally located too!
Can’t wait to return next year.

Our family had a wonderful stay in this lovely, comfortable home. Lots of character with all the important things -- like the bathrooms and the kitchen --updated and fresh.
The backyard was a great, and safe, space for our pup to run and play.

Cleanest property we've ever stayed in!
Great property: super clean and perfect location! This house doesn't look too fancy from the outside but Don't be fooled! It's lovely inside and the back yard...it's amazing! It's beautiful, relaxing, and great for an evening cook out. Host pays attention to details, for example, provides dog bowls for dog food & water. There are towels to wipe a wet dog off, etc. Yard is fully enclosed & HUGE. There's a dog park right across the street and, again, it doesn't look like much but you'll meet the friendliest people! Great little town for seeing the National Park, rafting, and enjoying some good food. Highly recommend. Thanks Bill for sharing your property with us! We had a great time!

Family Christmas Gathering
We met our two sons and family for a Christmas gathering. The house was wonderful…very clean, spacious and great fenced in backyard. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook a Christmas feast. More than what we expected and will have great memories for our 2021 Christmas get together. Perfect location and a short walk to a wonderful park for our one year old grandson. Bill gave us great information and was very responsive.

Nice House Great Location to Town
I am a first time VRBOer. This was overall a good experience. Great check in and easy going property manager.
The group had a great time and the place was pretty much as expected. The location is real nice regarding our travel plans.
There were a couple events of misinformation, but all and all it didn’t create too much discord. While offered as an nearby amenity, the swimming and the effective on-site hiking were a bust; the nearest public/affordable swimming hole is about 20miles away and the on-site hiking were unavailable since the venue was booked for other purposes. No worries tho. We made due.
The biggest issue was that there was a yellow jacket hive outside the master bedroom in the back porch gutter in the immediate vicinity of the back patio which put a damper on things. We didn’t expect them inside (or outside) and didn’t see the situation outside until day 2. We notified the PM and he responded. Unfortunately he and the maintenance man found the effort would pretty much require an empty house to really take care of the problem and we would just need to tough it out. My wife was stung 3 times over the course of the weekend. As I reflect on it, somebody must’ve know the condition was there because upon closer observation on day one there were about 10-12 dead ones in the master bedroom. We cleaned up and thought that was that but day 2 unbeknownst to us there were more laying dead around our belongings… that’s when we got woke to the sitch outside.
Also, we brought a kiddie pool for the little ones to play in but there was no outdoor spigot to fill it. I guess it makes sense to avoid mass water usage but, again, we made due. Besides that, the one bedroom being right beside the main hangout areas (dining room and patio) limited how much fun we could really have.
The place and household items for use were really nice. Clean linens and all the necessities. We inquired about a dvd/Blu-ray and was told yes, but there was not.
In the grand scheme tho…we were very pleased with the place and it suited our group really well with room to spare. While we’d stay there again, we’d probably do something different since there’s so much to see. Thanks!!

Fayetteville Find
We were very happy with our stay. The home has a great location in town. We could walk to local stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the back patio and the big fenced in yard provided privacy and very nice area for our pet. House was very clean and provided everything we needed. Would stay again when in the area.

Lovely home
A beautiful home with lots of space in all four bedrooms and a great kitchen with new appliances. All rooms were incredibly clean and well kept. Home also had wonderful accents/built-ins that gave it a sense of history and charm. Located in a very quiet neighborhood about 2 blocks from a small downtown of Fayetteville with several restaurants in walking distance. Owners were incredibly responsive and also provided many recommendations for activities and places to eat that were very helpful and spot on. House is very close to the Canyon Rim Visitors Center of the New River Gorge National Park and convenient to the Grandview Visitors Center. A wonderful place to stay as you enjoy New River Gorge National Park!

Fantastic house
I absolutely loved the house. Kitchen was well appointed. Absolutely spotless. Nice towels. Big showers. The fire pit was a big hit, but it would have been nice to have wood. Just make sure you have your code to get in before you leave for the trip. We couldn't get into the property the first night. We ended up having to go to another hotel and come back the next day. The owners didn't answer the phone. Other than that, it was great.

Excellent!
We stayed at this house the weekend of our wedding at the Gaines Estate in Fayetteville. Great place for an entire family to stay. Very well-kept, comfortable, spotless clean, and has a large fenced-in backyard. The location was really convenient for the venue, and for the Fayetteville area as a whole. It is just a couple minutes walk away from downtown. I recommend this house to anyone visiting Fayetteville or the surrounding area.

Perfect House - Very Clean!
We were a group of 4 and were very comfortable in this exceptionally clean property. The owner was quick to respond to any questions, provided helpful information regarding the area, and the check in process was easy.
We used the kitchen and the grill to prepare a meal and were very happy with the quality of the appliances, cookware, and grill.
We also liked the proximity to town - easy walk to a restaurant for breakfast.
Would definitely recommend this property if looking to stay in the Fayetteville area.

Wiseman Cottage Stay
This our second stay at the Wiseman cottage and it was equally as nice as the first. The house is very comfortable and bright. Sally left us a poppy seed cake, which was a pleasant surprise. The house is in an excellent location; it is a short walk to all of the restaurants and shops in Fayetteville. We hope to plan a return visit for next year!

Absolutely Lovely
Do yourself a favor and book this house. It’s spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable for a big group. The kitchen is well stocked but if you don’t want to cook there are several restaurants within walking distance. It’s a short drive to rafting outfits and other outdoor activities. The owners are absolutely fantastic and stopped by to drop off some delicious freshly baked poppy seed bread. Plenty of hot water for showers, comfortable beds and soft towels. We’re hoping to return next year to raft the Gaulley and will absolutely be back!

Absolutely a wonderful stay
The house was very comfortable, beatuiful, spacious and roomie. We were able to check in a little earlier than expected without any issues. Our fary children enjoyed the fenced in yard. Our kids enjoyed walking into down town, which is lovely and quaint. The house was close to everywhere we wanted to visit, not to mention blocks away from Biscuit World. This was my first trip to West Virginia and am very glad I found this home to stay in. I highly recommend this property. The entire family enjoyed the stay. House was fully ready for our family, including our cookout. The favorite part was the AMAZING Poopy seed bread that welcomed us. AMAZING!!!
