Lost River WV-Relaxing 3brm/2bath farmhouse-dog friendly- large treetop deck

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 location provides breathtaking vistas of the mountains from every window, 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.

Fiber for internet- super fast, Apple TV for Netflix/Hulu, and Verizon repeater so you can use your VZ wireless cell phone.

Great place for a quiet get away
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.

Karen's rental is an adorable home in the country. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked, and the fenced in yard is fantastic for anyone travelling with dogs! Karen is also a very responsive, helpful host. If you want to have a lovely remote retreat, this is the place to stay.

Scenic Tour of Fall Foliage
Really enjoyed the property even though we didn't get a chance to fully explore all the amenities as we were busy going to Lost River SP, Seneca Rocks & Cavern, Spruce Knob, Dolly Sods & Davis WV, and Blackwater Falls SP. We enjoyed pizza from Lost & Found, eating at the Lost River Grill, and breakfast at Lost River General Store & Cafe.

The house and property was 100% as advertised. We had a wonderfully relaxing and quiet stay. The dogs loved the yard. The house was well maintained and equipped. Photos captured it all. We especially appreciated the fast Wi-Fi and all the streaming options on the TV. If you need a place to unwind and decompress for a few days, this is it.

Great Family and Pet Friendly Farmhouse
We loved our stay here with our 2 kids under 2 and our dog. It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. The owner sent us a great email the week before with lots of information on the house and area. Our dog loved the fenced in area so he had some freedom to run around. The house is in a great location close to the Lost River State Park, Trout Pond (w/swimming access) and local farmers markets.

Comfortable stay
We wanted a quick getaway and this farmhouse fit the bill for our group. It had all the amenities we needed. The beds and couches were very comfortable. The “tree house” deck was a lovely spot for happy hour. We especially enjoyed listening to all the farm life surrounding the property from the covered porch. The house is located close to nearby parks so if you plan to hike this is a great spot.

Excellent cottage in the woods
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend. The home is adorable and is well appointed for cooking. And the owners provided shampoo, soap, toilet paper, etc. The home is located on a quiet road with some farm animal noises near by. The neighboring goats and cows keep our dog on her toes as she never heard those noises before. It was comical. Beds are comfortable. We enjoyed the quiet front porch and treetop deck. The stars really come out at night so bring a blanket for some backyard star gazing - when it's a new moon, the area gets really dark but the owners have flashlights hanging on the hooks in the hallway for your use. The area around the house is rural but there are some nice attractions. We hiked and my husband checked out the nearby General Store. If you're looking for a relaxing time in the mountains of WV - this house does the job.

A billion stars!
I booked the cabin hoping I could see the Milky Way, and did I ever! Bring a blanket and binoculars and you will be in star-gazing heaven. The fenced yard is wonderful -- as large as a park. The house was spotlessly clean, with nice linens and towels. The house temperature was perfect - I never touched the thermostat - and I appreciated there were no mosquitoes on the property.

Lovely stay
We all enjoyed our stay here - our dog loved the large, fenced backyard and we loved the treehouse deck. It got amazing sun in the afternoon, right when we returned from our hikes in George Washington National Forest (which, is an amazing 1 min drive to enter the forest from the house). The house’ location was the perfect mix of rural, while still on paved roads.

We can't wait to come back to enjoy the area when the weather gets a little warmer, but won't hesitate to come back for another getaway in the snow, either.
