Welcome to Mists at New River Gorge Coming Soon... A small yield ecologically friendly farm, nestled in dense woodlands of West Virgina, offering secluded glamping stays under the stars. At completion, Mists will have no more than 20 domes, each with a buffer of a minimum of 80 feet. Our goal is to offer maximum seclusion and privacy to our guests, while minimizing any adverse impacts on the land.

Every consideration will be made for utilizing native plants and relying on no till methods wherever possible. In addition to growing seasonal produce and herbs, we will create pockets of self sustaining food forest habitat to be enjoyed by both, human guests and wildlife. As parts of our land had been timbered over the years, we will also plant nitrogen fixing fast growing trees to replenish the soil. Mitigating Adverse Impacts

Mitigating Adverse Impacts
Before They Happen On Potential Disruptions to Established Residents

This project is being built on land adjacent to Rt41, bordering Bracken Creek Rd to the west and Martin Ln to the east, allowing for access from two different locations as needed. The entrance/exit (already constructed) starts at the intersection of Bracken Creek Road and Rt41. Any additional traffic generated by our presence will have little to no impact on neighbors.

Note: There is also a possibility of adding an additional exit at the north-west corner of the property for use in emergencies as Rt41 in Russellville is prone to flooding. This area of the property has several logging trails on it and is more than 100ft above the flood zone.

Guest Noise and Bad Behavior

Having run successful short term rentals in both Detroit, Michigan and Daytona Beach, Florida, we know how difficult it can be to keep guests from disrupting the lives of anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves near one. We take this VERY seriously and have designed all our accommodations with our neighbors in mind.

All roads and parking areas are monitored with video and audio (where legally permitted). And while each unit will include both smoke and carbon monoxide monitoring, we also use systems that monitor noise and occupancy levels.

In short, if any of our guests are loud or invite people over, we will generally know about it before our neighbors do.

But the most important part of our ability to mitigate any potential issues is that we're here. And we will be managing the rentals as well as the farm. While it is our hope to be able to hire local talent, we will never outsource any aspect of managing this property to an out-of-area third party.

Our Structures:
Comfort, Safety, and Immersive Beauty The domes we purchased for this project are made of heavy duty polycarbonate, a material much more resilient than glass. These structures had been tested in high winds and had performed well at over a 100 MPH sustained winds. Due to these structures' shape and the strength of the composite, and are wind and watertight and can be used year round.

Our domes will have a fully functional kitchenette, a soaking tub, hot and cold running water, modern toilets, a refrigerator, and broadband internet. Each dome will also be equipped with a mini-split system for climate control in all seasons.

These structures have been successfully used in European Vacation destinations for years including in places like Iceland and Norway.

From the many thousands of vacationers who'd stayed in one of these domes, the reviews are overwhelmingly positive and speak to the dwelling's comfort, style and beauty of the landscape they're nestled in. Infrastructure
Power, Septic, etc... We've worked closely with the Health Department to make sure our plans for waste water are safe, viable, and in line with all applicable guidelines.

We're also fortunate in that AEP's lines already run directly through our property. We're already working with GreenLeaf Electric on design and engineering.

Water infrastructure is already in the ground for phase one of this project. Danese PSD installed 1.5 in service and we've already laid more than 1200ft of service.

AEP's easement through our property caries with it the high-speed internet we require. With it we have access to virtually unlimited bandwidth.

All plumbing and electrical work for the dwellings will be done by licensed contractors.

and the Night Sky Sleeping under the stars is a big part of what makes our offering so attractive, so it's important to us that we do all we can to minimize light pollution for both, our guests and our neighbors.

To achieve that, all exterior lights will be aimed downward and only produce the amount of light needed for the specific application.

We will also make sure lights are only on when they need to be. Guests will often turn on lights and leave, wasting energy and needlessly illuminating vacant spaces.

To prevent this, many lights will be programmed to come on automatically (in a bathroom at night for example) when a guest enters the room, and turn off when they leave.

Additionally, we will use occupancy sensors to determine when a dome is unoccupied, so we can reduce light pollution without creating inconvenience for our guests.
