A firepit/deck in back of property can be enjoyed year round and is a great way to take in the extraordinary stars and invigorating mountain air. We have high speed internet. A music player for CDs and iPods. The house is near some great hikes in the George Washington National Forest and Lost River State Park, and can serve as a hub for either exploring wild and wonderful West Virginia or serving as a retreat for relaxing, meditation and taking in the Lost River Valley's natural beauty.

    My husband and I stayed here with two other friends. We were looking for a cabin with an amazing view of the mountain range, remote, and spacious. This place did not disappoint! It had plenty of room, the large wraparound patio was perfect! The view of the mountain range was breathtaking and watching the sunset was an added bonus.

    The house is beautiful and well maintained. It was well stocked with towels, kitchen items, blankets, and anything you might want for a short, or long, stay. We really appreciate the owner providing lots of firewood for both the indoor fireplace and the outdoor fire pit. It's always nice when you don't have to buy/haul this yourself as a renter.

    The host was amazing, answered messages promptly, allowed us to come early and leave late, provided us with a nice bottle of wine. The house was beautiful! I loved the long, vast wrap around porch. The view was amazing. We enjoyed the indoor fireplace, thanks for providing the wood, but the wood should be on the upper deck where the fireplace is, would make it more convenient. The hot tub was nice too. I will say fly traps should be provided on the screened in porch because the flies/bugs just get trapped, die and then dead bugs are all over the floor. The set up was nice, loved the big island in the kitchen, not too many stairs inside which is nice. I will say we weren't aware the silverware was in the drawer in the island, we thought there was literally only 4 forks and no knives. The bed downstairs behind the tv room was very unstable, moved a lot. A couple had to move out of that room and sleep in the blue room instead. I had the Asian inspired room, the bed was nice and comfy but man is the ceiling thin! I could hear everyone walking above me, sounded so loud in my room, like boom bang boom!! I had to make sure to go to bed when others did and wake up with them as well. My shower had dead flies in it so not sure if it was cleaned. The drain didn't drain well in that shower either. The house was very nice and thank you for allowing us to stay there.

    What a gorgeous property! The home was well equipped for our group’s stay, and very clean and comfortable. Our group of 8 friends had a fabulous time, enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, grilling on the deck, hanging by the firepit, playing games in the great room, and relaxing in the hot tub. Beautiful views from all of the decks, too! We didn’t use the media room, but it looked like a nice and cozy space to watch a movie on a rainy day. We spotted some interesting wildlife too (a skink and lots of birds).

    It was a very spacious home. We went with the intention of relaxing & that is exactly what we did. we loved the fact that we each had our own space, our own bedroom & bathroom.. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances. The table was a great place to play games! ...........the fire ring was very nice, the wrap around porches were great! It was a very quiet place with an awesome view & a great place to watch the air traffic, if that is an interest to you!

    We really loved the house, it was very peaceful and relaxing. We were able to explore the state park, go horseback riding, see some great views and then get back to a peaceful home. The host was very welcoming and provided great information to help us plan our stay.

    We were looking for a weekend getaway for our anniversary. This property provided everything we were looking for in a relaxing weekend. The house has everything you need with an amazing view. We mentioned this was going to be an anniversary getaway and a bottle of wine was left for us. Such a thoughtful gesture. We loved this house so much we are planning another trip to stay here. The owners provide you with a lot of information about the surround area and amenities. Everything about this rental was seamless. and a bottle of wine was waiting for us

    We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house. It has breathtaking views that overlook the valley and mountains; the sunsets each day were amazing! The house was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook our meals each day. Firewood was provided for the inside fireplace as well as the fire-pit, The fire-pit was located on a platform with ample seating, This house is so lovely. The host Jennifer was very responsive and provided a ton of helpful information in the welcome binder, I look forward to bringing my family here for a relaxing weekend as well as another girls trip.
