Many guests arrive at our climbing basecamp planning to stay just a few nights, but often find themselves immersed in community living, extending their visit to a week, a month, or even longer. The rhythm here makes it easy: climb at the New River Gorge in the morning, work a few hours remotely in the afternoon, cook dinner with friends, and repeat the cycle the next day.
The Arete is designed for individuals looking to slow down, plug into a small, friendly community, and explore one of the premier climbing areas in the eastern United States.
Fast, reliable internet and comfortable shared spaces make it easy to balance remote work and adventure at our climbing basecamp.
1-Gig fiber internet throughout the property
Quiet corners for focused work
Communal tables for co-working and collaboration
Plenty of natural light
A relaxed, respectful atmosphere during the day
Whether you’re a full-time remote worker, freelancer, student, or creative, you’ll find it easy to stay productive and still have energy for climbing, hiking, or paddling in the stunning New River Gorge when you close the laptop. Plus, with our community living options, there are discounted rates available to make your stay even more affordable.
Longer stays are distinct from quick visits, and we’ve designed The Arete as a perfect climbing basecamp with that in mind.
Enjoy our weekly and monthly discounted rates, convenient laundry facilities, and ample storage space for your gear. Our communal kitchen encourages community living by allowing you to cook real meals while fostering a blend of quiet time and social engagement. Plus, you’ll have easy access to groceries, coffee, and the vibrant town around the New River Gorge.
It’s the ideal setting for forming routines: savoring morning coffee, checking climbing conditions, working remotely for a few hours, heading to the crag, and sharing a delightful dinner in the evening.
More than anything, long stays at our climbing basecamp are about people. Here, you’ll meet climbers, travelers, guides, and remote workers from around the world. It’s easy to find partners for your next adventure, share beta, trade stories, and build friendships that endure beyond a single trip. The vibe is welcoming, low-ego, and supportive — an upgraded dirtbag community where everyone shares a passion for good stone, good company, and a simple, meaningful way of living. Plus, our discounted rates make it even easier to enjoy the beauty of the New River Gorge while engaging in community living.
The Arete is an ideal climbing basecamp if you’re:
A climber spending weeks or months in the stunning New River Gorge.
A remote worker seeking a beautiful, social place for community living.
A traveler on an extended U.S. road trip looking for discounted rates.
A digital nomad in need of a community-oriented base.
Someone who values connection just as much as comfort.
