About this property

Old Woodland Acres "Industrial-Rustic" Cottage

Welcome to the Industrial‑Rustic Cottage at Old Woodland Acres, our newest designer stay tucked along the front edge of our 17‑acre mountain property just outside Charleston, West Virginia. Though not deep in the woods, guests love that the cottage sits only steps away from quiet walking trails, tall trees, and the peaceful rhythm of nature that surrounds the estate.

Inside, the cottage blends industrial character with rustic comfort, creating a space that feels both stylish and wonderfully homey. Guests often say it’s the kind of place where you instantly exhale.

We were in the area for a conference, so we didn't get a chance to really explore the area, but the cottage was a wonderful setup for what we needed and nicer than a hotel. The check-in and checkout were simple and straightforward.

The house was very clean a bit small, but worked for 2 of us. The muffins and well stocked coffee/ tea area was a definite WTG host moment. I would definitely cover the couch or replace, but that is really the only take away from our stay.This place will be kept on our list when traveling to WV to visit family.

Delightful couples retreat cottage.

Quaint, tastefully remolded, perfect for a short getaway, close to nearby activities, friendly owners. The muffins, water along with coffee and tea upon arrival were a nice touch. Soft bedding and towels were a plus.

Such a gem!

We are long time VRBO fans and this one didn’t disappoint. The property was so clean, check in was easy, the owner is super kind, and the all around vibe of the place is just fantastic. From the extra blankets on the bed to the fully stocked coffee maker, to the plentiful towels and linens, to the birds chirping at us in the morning…We had an amazing time! Definitely coming back with more family.

Great character just enough space

Great place to stay when visiting the area. House is well maintained and has most things you might need. Kitchen is adequate so you don’t have to eat out all the time and the bathroom is nice as well. Beds are super squeaky but adequate. Location is a bit tough to get to at various times of day due to traffic. Best VRBO in the area by a long shot

Fabulously Cozy and Chic

This was by far one of the better VRBO stays that we have had. It was a chilly day of arrival but we came in to a very warm and cozy electric fireplace that was just what we needed. Everything was very clean and the linens were spa quality. Fluffy, warm and cozy just what I like! The property was quiet and peaceful. Thank you for a fantastic break from reality! We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely little home, tucked in trees, so even though you are close to the road there isn't a lot of road noise in this particular cabin. We didn't get to explore the property because we had other plans, but it seems like it would be a great way to spend a morning, walking the trails. Add others have commented, the beds are a bit squeaky, but we slept fine. The muffins and bottles of water were a nice welcome. It is the country, so be prepared for a rocky driveway in, but once you get past the entrance, it is easy to navigate.

House is great, driveway not so much

House is lovely, nicely decorated, and not too far from Charleston. The problem is the 45 degree driveway that is not mentioned in the property details. It starts with gravel, then has some cement with a large chunk sticking up, then more gravel. With a regular sedan type car, it was very difficult. Luckily, another guest in our party had an SUV.

The beds are super comfortable as was the couch. The extra touches were fantastic. We had one small issue with wifi and the owner responded immediately. We will be back!

Charming Cozy Cottage

We had a lovely time at this charming, cozy cottage. We cooked all of our meals here and enjoyed several hikes at the local state park (about 40 minutes). The cottage was quite clean and had what we needed for our stay. The shower is also very nice -- no shortage of hot water or water pressure. Be aware the roads in this area are winding with lots of switchbacks. To be expected in the mountains, but a bit tricky to navigate if you are a "flatlander".

Perfect house for a quick trip

We had a lovely stay at the cottage while in town for a family function. Plenty of room for myself, husband, and 10 month old. The house isn’t “baby proof” per say, but it didn’t make the stay difficult with a curious almost-walker. Kitchen was perfect, bathroom was very stylish and functional, and the cabin was immaculately clean. Be prepared for the steep driveway, and the water gets scalding hot when it’s wide open. Otherwise, we would definitely rebook if in the area!

West Virginia Gem

My daughter and I stayed at the Old Woodland Acres Cottage for 4 nights while we were exploring West Virginia. Cottage was a perfect size for the two of us and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed to feel at home. Everything in the cottage was in good working order. We really enjoyed the peaceful setting of the property. Thanks for providing a great place to stay while in West Virginia!

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Thaxton

Host profile image
We’re Ron and Nancy, keepers of the Mountain called Old Woodland Acres, our family’s 150‑year 17 acres of a mountain treasure near Charleston, WV. We raised our children and grandchildren here among the trails, creeks, wildlife, and the old Initial Trees carved by five generations. As entrepreneurs and pastors who’ve traveled the world, we still believe there’s no place like West Virginia. We welcome you to slow down, breathe deep, and enjoy the beauty of our mountain home.

What makes this property unique

Old Woodland Acres is 17 acres of mountain magic waiting to be explored. Deer often wander through the backyard, and curious little forest critters appear along the walking paths as if they’ve stepped out of a storybook. Our land has been in the family for over 150 years, with generational Initial Trees standing like quiet guardians of our history.

At the heart of the property sits our Field Fire Pit, a favorite gathering place where guests roast marshmallows, share laughter, and watch the stars settle over the ridge.

We’re located at the front of our private estate, just off a country road … close enough for sports teams, city events, and Charleston life, yet remote enough that you can breathe easy, slow down, and let the mountains wrap around you.
