Constructed in 2008 and designed by famed Katrina Cottage architect Marianne Cusato, this classic, West Virginia cottage is located in Lost River is sure to warm your heart. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, marble and glass tile baths, 9 foot ceilings and comfortable furniture provide a casual, country/lodge atmosphere. The twin bedroom upstairs has a dedicated desk to accommodate remote working with fast fiber internet. The location provides breathtaking vistas of the mountains from everywindow, the 8-foot deep front porch which extends the entire house as well, and a small covered back porch with even more great views. A large treehouse deck off the driveway provides more outdoor space for dining, and relaxing and has a large propane gas grill. This vacation home sits down a small driveway from a paved road and is surrounded by acres of nature. Within walking distance are the rest of the thousands of acres that make up the George Washington National Forest. The fenced in backyard is great for dog lovers!

From Washingtonian Magazine - : 'The Lost River Valley of West Virginia has been found.'

'Tucked between two mountain ridges, the valley, a couple of hours from Washington, is drawing more weekenders. The lure is rugged woodland scenery, tumbling mountain streams, and outdoor fun - hiking, fishing, biking, canoeing, swimming, rafting, climbing, horseback riding.' In winter months you are only 40 minutes from Bryce Resort and a little over an hour from Canaan Valley resort!

Three great bedrooms make the home perfect for families or couples - two rooms each with a queen bed and a third room with two twin beds. One queen bedroom is downstairs with its own bath and canopy bed (master suite). All bed linens and towels are provided. There are two full baths, one upstairs and one down. The baths have heated marble floors, glass tile walls and high-end fixtures. The cottage has both central air and heat which is dual zone for those who like to sleep with it cool but wake up to a warm downstairs. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffeemaker, etc.. There is a washer and dryer combo upstairs if you need it. Lost River is great for cyclists if you have questions about routes please reach out. We allow pets for a $100 fee per stay.

Fiber for internet- super fast, Netflix/Hulu.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The property is incredibly quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind. The house itself was extremely comfortable, and we especially loved the heated floors in the bathrooms—such a luxury! The beds were super cozy, and the kitchen was by far the best-stocked kitchen we’ve ever experienced in any rental. Our dogs were in heaven with the fully fenced-in backyard, and we loved relaxing on the deck in the evenings, grilling out and enjoying the mountain scenery. We truly cannot wait for our next stay at this beautiful, comfortable home. Highly recommend!

    We have stayed at several places in Lost River and this is by far the best. Location is close to all the activities in Lost River. The comfortable furnishings look quite new, not at all like the old stuff found in other places. Our poodle, Neha enjoyed the large fenced yard immensely. As a food lover, I loved the well equipped kitchen with all the necessary utensils. The heated bathroom floor was wonderful as the temperatures fell overnight. We did not take advantage of the grill and outdoor patio but the two porches were a great place to sit, relax and enjoy nature. We really felt like we were in a nice comfortable home.

    My wife enjoyed the warm comfy inside air and temperature. This house has absolutely no draft. Bedroom comforter and and living room cushions might need a wash.

    We had a fabulous weekend at the Farmhouse. Comfy, clean, and well-equipped, it was the perfect home base for hiking in Lost River State Park. Sunset on the deck, stargazing in the field…we had a great time!

    The listing I read stated jetted tub & hot tub but no hot tub. Prickly plant coming up from underneath side porch - lights going up the stairs outside only one works - no pen to put comments in book. Overall a quiet weekend.
