Self check-in

Check yourself in with the lockbox.
Cozy getaway tucked into the coal mining "holler" of Cunard/Brooklyn, the Lucky Penny is just up the road from the Cunard New River Access as well as walking distance to several National Park trails.

Get away from the city, experience a real WV neighborhood, have a campfire, enjoy the lovely mountain view and starry sky, and recharge.

The heat pump keeps it cozy even in zero degree temps! (Bring some cozy socks though. =)

The space
The lucky penny is a glamping experience walking distance from the edge of New River Gorge National Park. The restored vintage camper has plenty of charm - and a few quirks. The dining table area folds out into an additional bed as well as the couch. We have a memory foam topper that can be placed on these fold-out beds to make them more comfy.

The kitchen offers pour-over coffee, an electric kettle, and an induction hot plate stovetop. The oven is not functional. The camper also has a small outdoor table-top BBQ grill with propane for cooking.

The main bed is a full size with a memory foam topper and cozy pillows, complete with a beautiful view down the hill and of the mountains beyond.

The bathroom includes all facilities including a shower/tub, but with a camper the hot water is limited to 7 gallons so keep that in mind. Spray down, suds up, rinse off. If you want to see what living in a camper is like while traveling, this is your chance! If you want a long luxurious shower you might check out our other properties to stay in - the Game House and Wizard House in nearby Oak Hill.

There's a powerful yet quiet heat pump for heating and cooling to keep you comfy. The floor can get cold in colder weather, so bring some warm socks to go with the rugs.

There is a microwave above the dorm-sized refrigerator and freezer.

We include a few board games for rainy days, coffee, sugar, and powdered creamer, shampoo and conditioner, and try to keep bug spray and sunscreen stocked as well.

Again, this is glamping so there is the possibility of some bugs getting in. 4-wheelers, cars and trucks go by on the road during the day, but the nights are quiet and relaxing. There could be occasional free-range friendly dogs in the neighborhood that come to visit.

The outdoor space here is special. There is a table with chairs, a hammock, a swing, and an outdoor chandelier - all perched at the top of the hill and under a roof so you can even enjoy the outdoors and mountain view in the rain. There's a fire pit and propane grill as well.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire property - indoors and out including the yard.

Other things to note
If you're super tall, this may not be the perfect location for you as it is a camper with 6' high ceilings. This camper is an extraordinary experience but may best be enjoyed by the adventurous rather those seeking hotel-style perfection.

Neighborhood highlights

If you're looking for a tucked away place, this is it. A "holler" is a one way valley with only one road in and out. Cunard and Brooklyn are in a holler surrounded by mountains with the New River Gorge just on the other side of the mountain you can see from the Lucky Penny.

Coal miners used to live here for the Brooklyn coal mine, some still work at the mines. It's like a giant cul-de-sac. The neighbors are awesome but don't expect fancy houses or cars. We didn't expect to move here but were drawn in by their friendliness.

Expect the occasional 4-wheeler going down the road in the summer.

My wife and I love to travel, we typically head off continent, India and Nepal are our wildest destinations so far. We spent much of the covid period traveling the US in our camper, which lead to buying a second home in WV, then us moving there. I'm driven to excellence in what I do - making homes comfortable, healthy, and renewably powered.
