About this property

4-bedroom cabin in idyllic Lost River WV - dog and kid friendly!

Welcome to Willow’s Run - our family friendly (including dogs!) spacious getaway located 2 hours from Washington DC in the middle of the gorgeous Lost River Valley and nestled into the George Washington National Forest. Our peaceful, spacious 3 BR, 2.5 BA cabin (not including the Kids Bunkhouse) is located 15 minutes from Wardensville, 3 minutes from Trout Pond National Park, and 7 miles from Lost River State Park. The main cabin features wrap-around decks complete with gas grill and firepit, plus a screened porch with a sitting area and a second dining table.

A special feature is The Bunkhouse – designed by kids for kids (regardless of age!) It’s a detached space with 2 twin beds and 1 sofa to sleep, lounge and play. It includes its own TV/WiFi, library, game center, beanbags, and Maker’s Space. Kids have a separate covered porch, slack line and hammock. (Note: bathroom is in the main house.)

Each person and dog (sorry no cats due to allergies) will be able to find their own special place on the property to enjoy the sunshine, read a book, or nap. If you want to explore, go hiking, horseback riding, white water rafting, cycling, fishing, or bird watching at the nearby parks — you can even take the dogs for a swim in Trout Pond, just up the road. Local restaurants (amazing pizza joint to Michelin Chef dining), wine tasting, thrift shopping, craft fairs, and yoga studio all within a 10-minute drive. Don’t forget to wander the property’s three wooded acres.

Willow’s Run gives city dwellers, including families, friend groups and dogs, the chance to experience nature in a welcoming community, celebrated for its diversity, nestled in the rugged WV mountains. From adventure to relaxation to bonding time...Willow’s Run can truly provide it all.

The property was great and perfect for a family getaway to visit with my sister's family. My niece loved the bunkhouse, and it was the perfect place for us to do craft activities and play. The property is lovely, the animal-themed decor was excellent, and the beds were super comfy. We had a great time, and the host even left pumpkins for us to carve, which was a big hit. I highly recommend this property.

Communication with host -- timely and complete.
the kitchen is the place for Reno to be, eagerly watching the landing place for all things food and drink
but Reno found this comfy box to hang out in when the kitchen was closed and actually preferred it to her Temper-Pedic foam mattress from home

My husband and I, our grandchildren and our dog enjoyed our stay at this property. The front room was welcoming. Kitchen was well stocked and had a choice of a Keurig or drip coffee maker. The downstairs bed was very comfy, even though I had to share the bed with my 2 grandchildren and my puppers. (Both being under 6 were afraid of sleeping upstairs by themselves.). We were going to stay upstairs with the children but it was tough for me to go up/down the stairs. They are kind of on the narrow side and steeper than most. My grandkids loved the kids craft room. I loved the deck and the screen room. It was a lovely stay and we all enjoyed it. Please remember this home is in the woods which is part of the charm we loved.
Lovely home surrounded by beautiful fall colors in Oct.
Our dog enjoyed looking out the window when at the house.

Host was communicative and quick to respond. The cabin was a perfect getaway for the weekend with plenty of space and amenities for our crew. The kitchen was well stocked for our breakfast meals and a short drive to the lost river spots for dinner. Easy mile to Trout Pond state park with great trails to stretch the legs. Overall the cabin was perfect for our quiet weekend in the mountains and we'll definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Karin Kitsman

Host profile image
Our family currently lives between the East Coast and England. We love being able to share our vacation home in the WV wilderness to others so they can get away! We have 4 dogs and know what it's like trying to find a place that is dog friendly when we travel, so we welcome all dogs. (Sorry no cats due to allergies). We hope you enjoy!

Why they chose this property

There is so much to do in Lost River for everyone. Here are a few of our favorite things: Dinner at Michelin chef's Mack's Bingo in Wardensville or Lost and Found Pizza; hiking in any of the local state parks; taking our dogs swimming at Trout Pond 5 mins up the road; wine tasting on sundays; reading on the screened in deck in the morning; bird watching; and playing any of the board games we have at the cabin.

What makes this property unique

The Kids Bunk House! We love our kids but also love when we can get away and don't have to entertain them! We also love that dogs can feel at home in the cabin.
