About the host
Hosted by Ian Lockwood
Hi! I’m Ian, co-owner and host of Basswood - A Quiet & Creative Getaway.
Originally from the beautiful northwest corner of New Jersey, I met my wife in Northern Virginia during 2010. When she introduced me to her family farm in Capon Bridge, I was struck by the town’s familiar peaceful vibe and green landscape, similar to that of my own home base. It became something of our touch tree; a place we’d come back to again and again over the years to relax, unwind, and unplug.
My wife and I lived all over the map, from upstate New York to Santa Fe, New Mexico. We even spent a year in China! Ultimately, our hearts gravitated towards loved ones and we decided to plant roots in the Shenandoah Valley to begin a family of our own.
Friends and extended family enjoyed visiting the Capon Bridge area on the weekends to escape city traffic, float on the river, and feed the farm animals. Soon enough it was clear that there were no overnight lodging options within close proximity, other than a tent and a spare bedroom. And so, Basswood was born in 2021, at first out of necessity.
Basswood has grown into a touch tree for many repeat guests looking for balance and comfort out in the country. Thoughtfully renovated with 1890’s bones, this Quiet & Creative Getaway has been a full family labor-of-love. Each room is carefully curated with decor and amenities to make you feel at home and every booking is personally managed and communicated by me.
I look forward to hosting you at Basswood!

What makes this property unique
Basswood was originally the home of Dr. J.S. Offutt—known affectionately as “Uncle Pudge.” Built in the late 1890’s, it served as both his home, as well as his medical practice. The local post office also operated in the space now occupied by the Appalachian Wedding Chapel.
Uncle Pudge was a life-long bachelor and upon his death in 1928, the property passed to his nephew, John Ward, and his wife, Clemetine Lemley. Mr. Ward became president of the Western Frederick Bank in Gore, Virginia. The Wards were a gregarious couple who renovated the upstairs for approved renters. They developed a deep affection for their upstairs housemates, the Largent family, and bequeathed the property to them. The Largent’s owned the B&N Grocery just across the bridge, and Mr. Largent became the town’s mayor.
In 2021 the property was acquired and renovated into the home you see today. The rehab project included adding a new roof, upgrading all the electrical, HVAC, plumbing and hot water systems, as well as many interior improvements. The grounds were also improved with new walkways, amenities and landscaping.
Basswood opened its doors for overnight accommodations in April 2022. Each room is uniquely furnished in a refreshing mix of traditional and mid-century modern decor, featuring original artwork created by local artists. You'll find wide plank wood floors throughout the building as well as ornate window and door moulding's that have been carefully preserved.
We are proud to honor the history of this property, and thank you for being part of it!
