We stayed in the small cabins on Shady Lane. They were very clean and cute. Full kitchens and private hot tub on the deck. Satellite tv. However, there was no wifi available at the cabins. Wifi hotspots were only available at the main building. We had to use hour iPhone personal hotspot.It was rather difficult to find, but luckily I was able to locate it using my iPhone map. The town of Minden is not listed on the West Virginia state map. If you can find Oak Hill you are almost there! The all day rafting trip was fantastic! Be prepared for a big thrill if you do the full day lower new River. There were class 3, 4, and 5 Rapids. Be prepared to get soaked!
Ace Adventure resort great place to go!!!!!! Staff is friendly and ready to answer and assist you. The Guides are AWESOME!!!!!!! Place for adventure its our 3rd year going love the White Water Rafting. We did the overnight it was great way to relax enjoy peace and quiet and nature, oh and you won't go hungry. You are fed very well !!!!!!!! Ace has their own private take outs and put in's on the river. Worried about safety don't the Guides are always watchful and helpful with good instructions.
Hello Sir!Let me start off by saying that before moving into management I raft guided for 12 years all around the US and world. I was a career guide. And I've seen a lot in my time. I read a lot of reviews about our business, and I must tell you that of all the reviews I've ever read, yours is one of the best. You clearly get it and the guide side of my brain smiled from ear to ear reading this. You are spot on. So thank you. Thank you for getting our craft and for supporting our awesome guides. You also seem to get that ACE can provide a very nice cabin or a very basic cabin. Turn it up or down. So true. Thank you. And we hope to see you back soon.-Heidi
We did Whitewater Rafting on the Lower Gauley and what a cool experience it was, I can't wait to go back. Our guide was awesome, the raft was awesome, the bus ride down to the river was exciting to say the least. They served us lunch and the food was super good. Everything was well coordinated and logistically spot on!! This is a must do experience.
Had an amazing time with ACE. Our guide Stew was awesome, took the time to get to know our group and made sure we had a great time. The rafting was world class, the food was delicious and ACE did a great job putting together a well thought out trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is a little adventurous and loves the outdoors. You won't be disappointed.
So glad your Valentine's weekend at ACE was so great! Can't wait to see you back in the summer!Thanks for taking the time to write a review, we really appreciate it!Thanks again from the entire ACE team!-Heidi
Never rafted before - what a blast!!! Did the Lower New River. They captured great photography of our fun. The guides were excellent. Don't do the jumping from the rock - dangerous climb.
Last Fall I reviewed ACE resort based on a trip that involved a rafting trip time snafu. I would like to now give ACE the stellar review it deserves! My family of 4 plus a friend (2 adults and 3 teens) enjoyed a 3 night stay in a clean, large, and well equipped chalet. It had a full kitchen and a hot tub on the deck. (this was amazing after 2 full days on the river in COLD water). We had a blast on day 1 rafting the Lower Gauley with Don. He was informative, funny, and really catered our adventure to our group. Day 2 was full of thrills, excitement, and hard core Upper Gauley rapids. It is not a laid back adventure. Be prepared to work for it! Our guide for that trip was Johnny. Grilled lunch on the river both days was tasty and plentiful. Staff at the resort was engaging, friendly, and enthusiastic. Live music on Saturday night was really good. I observed that the issue I experienced last year with trip times was addressed and measures put in place for it not to happen to anyone else. This is wonderful! Thank you ACE!
Friends of ours brought us here for a weekend of Upper Gauley rafting & zip lines. ACE staff was friendly and helpful and the rafting guides are the best on the river! Ask for Joe if you want the trip of a lifetime! I was a little scared but he made sure we were all safe and had a great time. He truly takes care of everyone on his boat! We love ya Joe! Promise I won't be such a chicken next time!
Another great trip with Ave Adventure. We (six friends from work) arrived by RV, nice RV parking and facilities. Electrical, water and dump right on site with a bathroom and bath house within twenty yards of the RV. The highlight of the trip is the Gauley River itself but ACE adventure and especially our guide, Stew (Drew), made the river the best it could be. Stew and all the guides were great with all their knowledge and comic relief they provided which made the "first timers" feel like they were in great hands.The guides also served as hosts on the overnight camping, serving steak, chicken, baked potatoes, apps and plenty of beer. The next morning was much of the same. I can't say enough about how the guides made this trip a adventure that we will never forget.On arrival back to our RV site, the bar had a band playing outside and was a great way to end a wonderful weekend.
