ArtHaus is located on a well-maintained gravel mountain road with some steep elevation changes. In snow or heavy rain, an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended. While most guests arrive without issue, a capable vehicle ensures a smoother arrival — especially if you're arriving during inclement weather.

You will have exclusive access to the entire house and all outdoor amenities! The U-shaped gravel drive accommodates up to 5 vehicles. Please do not park on the side of the road.

There are two locked owner's closets: one off the primary bedroom, and one in the lower-level hallway. Please do not try to access them during your stay.

ArtHaus sits on a private road off the rustic mountain network near West Virginia Route 259 (WV-259), the main highway through Lost City and neighboring valleys. Because of the rural terrain and hillside location, we strongly recommend guests use a capable vehicle — ideally one with all-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive — especially in bad weather or winter conditions.

A Note about Nature:
ArtHaus is located in a natural, wooded setting. Deer are regularly spotted in the community, and we provide binoculars to observe the many birds that sing ArtHaus to wake each morning. While we routinely use professional pest control services to keep tiny critters out, occasional sightings of insects is likely. The home is sealed and well-maintained, but we always recommend keeping screen doors closed and food stored properly. If you're comfortable being surrounded by nature, you're in the right place. It’s all part of the natural authenticity of a true mountain retreat!

The ArtHaus Ritual: Spa Amenities & Etiquette
ArtHaus was designed as a space for deep rest and slow ritual. Our outdoor wellness amenities are here to support that - please use them mindfully.

Sauna: Limit sessions to 15–20 minutes, and always hydrate before and after. Use the striped spa towels provided to sit on the benches, and please avoid bringing any oils, lotions, or glass inside. Detailed instructions for use are located in the guidebook.

Hot tub & Cold plunge: Rinse before entering, and please don’t add any products to the water. Please refrain from using glass in these amenities. Detailed instructions for use are located in the guidebook.
Additional guidelines for your safety and enjoyment are posted above the hot tub.

Sunrise Yoga: Enjoy yoga from the comfort of our screened porch, on the expansive upper deck, or on the lower covered deck while birdsong and multi-tonal chimes calm your spirit.

Fire Pit: We provide plenty of fire wood, and we recommend picking up some fire starters on your way to ArtHaus.

Top-Tier Sanitation:
Rest assured, these amenities are cleaned and maintained between each stay so every guest begins with a fresh start. Inside the home, every piece of bedding and linens undergoes meticulous sanitation between each group of guests. To ensure a clean and healthy environment, we follow strict cleaning protocols for all nature spa amenities. The hot tub treated between every stay, and is professionally drained and deep-cleaned the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month between 11am and 4pm. We make every effort to minimize the impact to guests staying with us mid-week. Please also note that this property prohibits smoking and pets. Your well-being is our top priority.

Our lawn care service occurs every other Wednesday or Thursday during spring, summer, and fall seasons. We do our best to schedule this maintenance in the afternoon and the team is finished in just 30-45 minutes to minimize any disruptions to guests.

While we warmly welcome families, our home is not childproofed for toddlers and small children. The home contains glass decor, breakables, and stairs. We encourage parents to keep a watchful eye on little ones, especially around indoor and outdoor stairs.

To enhance security, this property is equipped with an exterior surveillance camera, solely monitoring the front entrance and parking area without invading your privacy. Please be mindful of your noise levels and respect quiet hours from 10pm-8am. Choose us for a worry-free and exceptional experience in Lost City, WV!
