From Washingtonian Magazine May 2006 - "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."
----------------------
NOTE - This house is located privately down the road a few hundred yards from my other rental and both properties can be rented together - perfect for family reunions or two families travelling together! Each has it's own seperate driveway.
Constructed just this year and designed by famed Katrina Cottage architect Marianne Cusato, this classic, West Virginia cottage is located in Lost City/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.
This vacation home sits down a small driveway from a paved road and is surrounded by thirteen acres and has eight resident goats. The thirteen acres is shared with the main rental farmhouse which is a good distance away so you still have your privacy but within walking distance if you choose to rent both. Beyond that and within walking distance are the rest of the thousands of acres that make up the George Washington National Forest.
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 it's own bath and canopy bed (master suite). All beds have high quality 100% cotton linens. There are two full baths, one upstairs and one down. The baths have heated marble floors, glass tile walls and high-end fixtures. Soak in the upstairs bath's jetted tub with a window that overlooks the mountains and catch a glimpse of the deer and wild turkeys. Fluffy towels are provided. Farmhouse 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. Kitchen comes stocked with gourmet coffees and teas. There is a washer and dryer combo upstairs if you need it.
During your visit, explore the property and surrounding area on foot or by car. Rolling Meadows, rocky crags, cool forests, mountain streams and great vistas wait. Nearby Lost River State Park maintains miles of hiking trails and a horse stable in the summer. Climb or ride to Cranny Crow (elevation 3200 feet) for commanding panoramas.
Watch satellite TV (HDTV coming soon), listen to satellite radio, use the DSL WI-FI connection or do some star gazing with the telescope provided on the back deck. Or just enjoy sitting on the awesome front porch, take a nap, read a book, all without ever leaving the property.
Well-mannered pets permitted with an additional pet rent of $10 per night per pet or $50 per week per pet. Backyard is completely fenced so you don't have to worry about your dog running off into the forest(no goats in the dog area).
