Book Cathedral CabinThe land is part of your stay
A landscape hotel is a category where the property itself is the destination — architecturally distinct structures placed within a designed landscape, each framing a different perspective on the land. Star Farm is that, five minutes from New River Gorge National Park: ten private acres inside Fayetteville city limits, with Cathedral Cabin (open now), the Geodesic Dome (December 2026), and Sky Pavilion (August 2027) each set among trees and clearings rather than in a row.
Guests come for the New River Gorge — for rafting, climbing, the bridge, Babcock — but they stay because the land is part of the trip. If you're looking for a boutique farm hotel near the park, a slower alternative to chain lodging in Fayetteville WV, or somewhere the architecture and grounds are as memorable as the rapids, this is what we built.

Frequently asked questions
What is a landscape hotel?
+
A landscape hotel is a curated collection of architecturally distinct structures placed within a designed landscape, where the property itself is part of the hospitality experience. Each stay reveals a different perspective on the land. At Star Farm, that means three different buildings (Cathedral Cabin, the Geodesic Dome, and Sky Pavilion) placed among ten acres of clearings and trees rather than next to each other.
How far is Star Farm from New River Gorge National Park?
+
Five minutes by car. Star Farm is at 1 Starry Sky Lane in Fayetteville, WV, inside city limits — close enough to walk to dinner downtown, close enough to be at the New River Gorge Bridge or the Long Point Trailhead within ten minutes.
When does the Geodesic Dome open?
