The Morris Harvey House

We had a wonderful weekend stay - Bernie was very helpful and the friendliest bed and breakfast owner I have met. The pineapple upside down cake french toast was superb! Will definitely be back.

Bernie greeted us on a dreary day with a friendly smile and a warm, cozy house! We were sitting downstairs later at night and he turned on the fire for us...what a nice touch! Comfortable accomodations and the breakfast was yummy! He was quite the host! We very much enjoyed our time and hope to be back sometime!

The Morris Harvey House is an excellent Bed & Breakfast. This stately home, built in 1902, is kept in fantastic condition by the proprietor, Bernie, who is as nice and welcoming as can be. Despite raging winds and 20 degree weather, the house was very warm and comfortable. Our room was decorated with early 20th century amenities, and the bed was even more comfortable than expected. The breakfast Bernie served was delicious, consisting of blueberry french toast and baked grapefruit. We will definitely stay there again.

My husband and I spent a weekend here on our way down South. It was a wonderful experience. Breakfast was delicious every day (big fan of the baked grapefruit!) and Bernie was the most helpful host. The house is beautiful and the rooms are well kept. When there was a small issue, Bernie was quick to get it fixed. We felt at home here and would recommend this Morris Harvey to anyone wanting to spend a weekend in Fayetteville. On that note, if you are looking for an area to stay, we also highly recommend Fayetteville! There is so much to do and many wonderful places to eat.

comfortable beds and good nite's rest; but felt a little unwelcome and not as accomodating as I thought it should be.

Really enjoyed our time. Breakfast was delicious and Bernie was an excellent innkeeper. We would thoroughly recommend it.

This was my first bed and breakfast experience. Bernie made it a very pleasant experience. It felt like a family visit ( I have a great family ). Loved the pancakes, Bernie. We'll be going back.

We were delighted with this b&b. We were traveling to NC and this was the perfect halfway point. Bernie is a great host, giving you lots of info about the town and area. His food recommendations were spot on and it was nice to be able to walk to dinner. A delicious breakfast of baked apple pie French toast was served in the morning with stimulating conversation around the table. Our only regret was we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely return to explore the area and stay at the Morris House.

We spent three nights at the Morris Harvey House renting the loft. As there were three of us it worked out perfect.

While the room looked & smelt fine except for some mold in teh bathroom, one of us had an allergic reaction to something- we suspect mold or mildew based on their allergy history. This resulted is such loud snoring that the otehr slept in the car. Do not go if you have any kind of reactions to molds / mildew. We did not stay the second night to avaoid a repeat.

We had a great time during our stay. Bernie is a good cook and excellent host.

My fiance and I stayed there for 3 days and were happy with services. The house is clean and lovely. We will go back there again!

great rooms; reasonable price; friendly; great breakfast!

We had a fabulous stay. First time staying in a bed and breakfast and Bernie was a super host and cook. We met some amazing people. Looking forward to our next stay there or in an another bed and breakfast in a different city.

Excellent overall B&B in a charming town. Only stayed one night after a rafting trip, but would definitely consider this property for a longer stay in the future.

Bernie was so nice and accomodating! He has excellent customer service skills and is such a pleasure!! Outstanding breakfasts, we will be back!

We spent one night at the inn. Bernie was hospitable and we had a great night at the inn.

Wonderful place to stay in West Virginia. The breakfasts,company and hospitality are second to none. This is our 3rd year returning. Bernie is always a pleasure to chat with. The stay always seem too short.

I love the old world charm of the house. The host is very friendly and shares great tidbits of information about the town; he really makes his guests feel welcome during their stay. We will definitely stay here again when we travel.

We've stayed at several B&B's, and The Morris Harvey House did not disappoint. Meeting expectations is a good thing. Beautifully kept home in a quaint town, very courteous and friendly owner.

Bernie does a great job of taking care of his guests! He set up our activities and will answer all your questions. The house is great too and we really enjoyed reading on the front porch in the evening.

We spent our 19th anniversary at The Morris Harvey House and it was one of the best anniversaries in many years. I loved everything about the house, our innkeeper (Bernie) and the little town of Fayetteville. The house is simply beautiful and immaculately kept... not a speck of dust or dirt to be found. Bernie is the most accommodating host... it felt like we were old friends. He is also an amazing cook... breakfast was so delicious. If you stay anywhere else... you are missing a real treasure at The Morris Harvey House!!

Dear Bernie. Thanks for a pleasant stay at your facilities in the very end of May, 2011. We have been travelling half way around the world ( from Denmark, Scandinavia ) to get the opportunity to experience some authentic southern atmospheare, and our, unfortunately much to short, stay with you fulfilled our expectations completely. We had great fun with you and the afternoon at the porch was excactly what we were seeking. Thanks a lot. It was great. Birte and Per

We stayed here for our wedding (which was at the Gorge), and both Bernie and the House are everything wonderful and delightful about B&B's. He was so accommodating and gracious, it calmed us down and helped us enjoy our big day! I have a hard time staying in many B&B's because of a perfume/potpourri allergy, but I didn't have any problems staying here at all. And the house is charming without being stuffy or over the top. We didn't get to do everything we wanted to in the area, so we are already planning our next getaway back!

My new fience and I booked a weekend getaway at the Morris Harvey House this past weekend. We stayed in the Harvey room, and it was wonderful. It only had a half bath, but I actually liked having to use the main hall bathroom shower. It was very neat, the old claw tub was awsome. The house is beautiful! The vintage furniture fit perfectly into the time period of the home. The food was amazing and Bernie was so nice. We actually got engaged at a near by waterfall, and celebrated with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries which Bernie had made! The other guests were wonderful and we talked over breakfast for hours. I felt at home there, it was warm and comfortable. I felt like I was staying at a family members home. I would recommend everyone to visit this bed and breakfast!!! Loved it!!!

House is in a great location and all attractions we wished to see were with in 20 min of the house.

My wife and I stayed overnight at the Morris Harvey House on Wednesday, March 30th. It was our first stop on a ten-day southern trip. We had the house to ourselves that night. This was good because we had plenty of time to chat with Bernie. But it was bad because there was no one else with whom to talk. That is the only downside to our stay. Bernie is a fine host and a fine cook. Breakfast was excellent and was more than sufficient to fuel us for the next leg of our trip - a drive from fayette to Aiken SC. Bernie told us about Tamarack. We stopped there and can honestly say it is a place not to be missed. Also, even though the weather was cold and wet, we visited the New River Gorge Park. This too is not to be missed. All in all, we gave Bernie the highest marks! Hugh & Marsha Guillaume, Amherst NY

A beautiful property with a truly warm and gracious host. Highly recommended.

Our stay was absolutely delightful! This beautiful and historic home was as interesting and beautiful as they come. The room was spacious and warm as was the proprietor, Bernie. If you are looking to get away and just relax or to see the beautiful town of Fayetteville and the Gorge then this place is for you! You won't be disappointed.

Bernie is a great host. We have stayed here several times and it is always a pleasure

Beautiful house. Very clean. Bernie was extremely friendly and helpful and he's a good cook too. You can't beat the location. Right in the heart of downtown Fayetteville. Short walk to restaurants and shops. We'll definitely be staying there again.

This was a wonderful visit--a Valentine's Day celebration on the way from Lexington, VA to Lexington, KY. I was simply delighted by the pleasures of the fascinating Victorian home and the warmth of the owner, Bernie. Bernie animated the home with his passion for the place and his enthusiasm for visitors. Since it was very much the off season, we also had the run of the whole house which was an unexpected treat. Fayetteville is a cool town as well.

We stayed in the Grand Suite; it was really beautiful. The owner, Bernie, is highly personable and the entire house is well-appointed in a 'turn of the century' fashion. Mapquest shows this B&B to be farther away from town than it is. In fact, it's is only one short block from the center, which makes it ideal for recreation and shopping. With family situated close by, we will stay there again and we look forward to it.

This is a really awesome B and B. The innkeeper was a great guy and really knew the area. My only complaints were the beds were a little firmer than I'd like and the toilets are old fashioned which is fine but they are loud and will scare the Hell out of you at night. Overall great experience

Our stay at the MH House was just wonderful. We stayed in the loft as we had 4 people in our party. The rooms were spotless. Bernie the innkeeper was so friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better breakfast. It included his fantastic pineapple french toast, scrambled eggs and baked grapefruit. I hated to leave and can't wait to go back!

Bernie was a delight. We'd definitely go here again; He knew everything about the area. Great Conceirge

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and had a great time. We stayed in the Grand Suite that was very spacious and clean. Bernie was very personable and made us feel at home immediately. He adjusted the breakfast time on our last day to accommodate our travel needs. We will definitely recommend this to anyone looking for the comforts of home while on vacation.

I would say this inn had average food and room and outstanding and personable staff. Breakfast was a buffet and nice. Dining room was a bit crowded, as the house was full and there were not enough seats for everyone to sit and eat at once. I did not feel I could linger over a second cup of tea or coffee. The AC unit in the bedroom could not quite cool the room, and the common rooms had no AC and smelled a bit skunky. Just basic handsoap/bar soap was offered, no shampoo. The innkeeper and assistant were super friendly and outgoing, and they were the highlight of the trip.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Historic Morris Harvey House. Berni and Gi Gi were extremely helpful and made me feel very welcome upon my arrival. I like the fireplaces in each room and the charming decor. The breakfast buffet was delicious, especially the pineapple french toast. I would highly recommend this B&B.

Bernie is so helpful about the area! The food is amazing! The architecture and furnishings are beautiful!

Have stayed twice at Morris Harvey House - Dec. '08 and June '09. Bernie should be teaching the course in running a B&B! He's a wonderful host, a great cook, and takes excellent care of the property. It's the only place I'll stay in Fayette County.

We stayed during the very off-season in town, but had the greatest time - gorgeous rooms, delicious & ample breakfasts, and a warm and welcoming host! Bernie gave us great tips for hikes in the area, knew lots about local places to eat & grocery shop, allowed us to use his kitchen to cook, and was just the nicest, most gracious host we could have asked for. We will certainly be coming back in the warmer weather to re-visit Fayetteville and the beautiful surrounding areas!

My husband and I spent a long weekend here over a year ago and I can't stop dreaming about this place! I can't wait to go back! Bernie is so friendly and informative, the BEST innkeeper! The food at the house is outstanding, and the restaurants close by are DEFINITELY worth the visit! There is so much to do within the area and everyone is so helpful in planning your adventures. The whole house is cozy and comfortable. I'm anxious to try the suite on the top floor with my family for our next visit! Thank you for such a memorable experience!

The Harvey House is a lovely and well maintained property. But it is the host that makes this bed and breakfast memorable.Looking forward to our next stay.

Just finished our weekend stay at the B&B. It was Fayetteville's XMAS weekend. The inn was beautifully decorated for the holiday, inside & out. Even had a small party for the guests & some friends...great surroundings, great food and great hot apple pie drink. :) Perfect Weekend!!!

The rooms were ok, Innskeeper was friendly, very clean though...nothing over the top - not your ace of spades for the romanics button, but could be a nice place if you are planning a river run!

We visited 19-22 July 2009. We had the Grand Suite. We were very happy with everything. Its a very nice facility. Bernie is outstanding host and always very helpful. If you stay at this house you must visit Smokey's on the Gorge! I would recommend this facility to all of my friends and family.

Bernie is an A++ innkeeper. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!

We recently had a very pleasant stay at this bed and breakfast. It was my first time staying in a B&B, as I usually camp or stay somewhere really cheap. I feel that this stay was worth the money. We called at the last minute and were accomodated, in fact we had the whole place to ourselves and were given a nice room. The breakfast was good and wholesome, nothing too fancy and the place was really clean and quaint. The innkeeper was friendly and knowledgable about the area and gave us a great hiking trail recommendation, The Kaymoor Coal Mine trail. This B&B is located just steps from an excellent pizza place, Pies and Pints. Try the Mushroom Herb pizza, it was delish. We fell in love with Fayetteville, such a beautiful little place with nice folks almost smack dab in the middle of a national park (New River) and 10 miles from another (Gauley River). If we can find jobs here, maybe we will become new residents, it made such a great impression on us. Please find out about the destruction of the Gauley Mountain! It is being ravaged for coal by mountaintop removal mining. Please get involved and help stop these actions. Innovative ideas about jobs or non environmentally destructive industry is much neede here. Go see for yourself how beautiful this place is and you will understand that we cannot let it be destroyed.

We just had one of the best weekends ever at the Morris Harvey House. We will be back soon; Bernie should win the host of the year contest. Breakfast is excellent and the rooms have just the amount of privacy you need. We felt like we were on our honeymoon. Sandra and David

We had a wonderful stay at The Morris Harvey House. We are already wanting to go back!

A friend and I stayed for two nights in the Grand Suite and appreciated the hospitality of the innkeeper, Bernie. He was gracious and made himself accessible to the guests. The home is well maintained and Bernie keeps the rooms and common areas very clean. Since the Inn attracts people who are rafting or hiking around the New River Gorge, shared interests and a common experience helps to make the breakfast gathering relaxing. Bernie prepares a delicious breakfast and joins the gathering with stories and historical fun facts of the area he calls home.

My boyfriend and I just returned from a 2-night stay in the Grand Suite at the Morris Harvey House. Bernie is an excellent host and cook - he sent us off each day with a wonderful and varied breakfast. The house is beautiful - very quiet and relaxing. The location is an ideal base point for whitewater rafting and other outdoor adventures, and at the end of the day we relaxed on the front porch. We had a wonderful time, and we plan to return.

The Morris Harvey House was a wonderful place to stay worry free. My husband and I had a great time with our host, Bernie. Bernie is very knowledgeable about the area and secured dinner reservations for us. We would go back in a heart beat.

Delicious food, clean and charming accomodations. Friendly and courtesou Innkeeper.

This is my third time at the Morris Harvey House B&B since 2007 and I consider it my home away from home. I have stayed in B&Bs in the US, UK and Canada and this is among the finest. Bernie Kania is always gracious, hospitable, polite and accomodating. He also prepares a great breakfast. He truly treats his guests like family. If you are in the New River Gorge area of West Virginia and need a place to stay, this is it. CJ

I loved the atmosphere of this beautiful house. The rooms were clean and well kept and the breakfast was outstanding. Bernie is a really great host and puts his heart and soul into making your stay a memorable one!

The host Bernie was very hospitable and helpful with tips of what to see and do in the area. Very clean and well-maintained older home. We had a great sleep on a very comfortable bed. Enjoyed our stay and were sent off with a full breakfast. Very tasty! Thank you!
