About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Jared and Katie VanMeter—lifelong lovers of Appalachian history, preservation, and hospitality. We own and operate the Historic McCoy House here in Franklin, WV, along with several other local properties and businesses that aim to revitalize our beautiful hometown.

We restored the McCoy House with great care to preserve its 19th-century charm while offering modern comfort. As your hosts, we’re nearby and always happy to help with recommendations, event coordination, or just to share a story or two about the house and the area.

We love welcoming guests who appreciate history, enjoy small-town charm, and want a relaxing, memorable stay in the mountains.

What makes this property unique

The Garden Level Suites are part of the Historic McCoy House, one of Franklin’s most iconic antebellum homes, built in the early 1800s. Fully restored with care and craftsmanship, the property blends Greek Revival architecture, original woodwork, and period charm with modern comforts. Guests enjoy a private ground-floor suite with exclusive access to the rear deck, offering peaceful outdoor lounging just steps from their room.

But what truly sets this space apart is the story it tells. The McCoy House has witnessed over two centuries of Appalachian history—from the Civil War through the modern revitalization of Franklin. We’ve brought this landmark back to life not just as a place to stay, but as a living tribute to our town’s heritage.

Whether you're here for an event, a quiet getaway, or a bit of history, you’ll experience small-town hospitality, immersive storytelling, and uncommon beauty—all under one historic roof.
