The Woodland House is our newly renovated, stylishly rustic 2-bedroom, 1.5 bath home located in the Mon Forest town of Franklin, West Virginia. Enjoy the comforts and luxuries of home while enjoying the fresh air and forests of a trip to the mountains.

The space
Our newly renovated home is located in Franklin, WV near West Virginia's Monongahela National Forest in a quiet, residential area surrounded by woods with a lovely view of the nearby mountains and a glimpse of the South Branch of the Potomac River. The surrounding woods provide privacy from neighbors. The wooded, gravel drive (including one, steep hill approaching the house and one hill to the upper parking) puts you at just the right elevation to provide the amazing, tree top view from the back porch.
The 2 bedroom, 1.5 home is perfect for 4 people, but has room for 6. Both bedrooms include comfy, pillow top queen beds and an additional fold up queen sized foam mattress can used on the living room floor if desired. Additional sheets, pillows and blanket are provided for use with the floor mattress.
The living room has a cozy, propane fireplace and is furnished with a 55" Fire Television for enjoying access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+.
