About this property
Lost River WV-Relaxing 3br/2bath farmhouse-dog friendly- treetop deck-workspace
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 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. We allow pets for a $100 fee per stay.
Fiber for internet- super fast, Netflix/Hulu.
