WV Farmhouse Escape- 13 acres - 2hrs from DC

From Washingtonian Magazine May 06--
"The Lost River Valley of West Virginia has been found."

"Tucked between two mountain ridges, the valley ''''''a couple of hours from Washington ''''''is drawing more weekenders. The lure is rugged woodland scenery, tumbling mountain streams, and outdoor fun ''''''hiking, fishing, biking, canoeing, swimming, rafting, climbing, horseback riding."

Free Wireless Wi-Fi Internet Access Now Available!

Constructed in the 1930 ''''''s and recently renovated, this classic, West Virgina farmhouse located in Lost City/Lost River is sure to warm your heart. Hardwood floors, antique fixtures, a gas cast iron stove and comfortable furniture provide a casual, country atmosphere. The location provides breathtaking vistas of the mountains from every window, the screened porch and large back deck.

The house sits on a paved road and is surrounded by thirteen acres and has 5 resident goats. Beyond that and within walking distance are the rest of the thousands of acres that make up the George Washington National Forest.

Three great bedrooms make the home perfect for families or couples - two rooms each with a queen bed and a third room with one twin bed. All beds have down comforters and crisp linens. There are two full baths, one upstairs and one down. Soak in the claw foot tub with windows that overlook the mountains and catch a glimpse of the deer and wild turkeys. Fluffy towels and bath pillow are provided.

There is a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, etc. Kitchen comes stocked with Starbucks coffee, cream and sugar - the essentials. There is a washer and dryer in the basement if you need it.



Watch satellite TV or listen to satellite radio or do some star gazing with the telescope provided on the back deck. Or just enjoy sitting by the fireplace, take a nap, read a book, all without ever leaving the property.

Well-mannered pets permitted with an additional deposit. Backyard is completely fenced (no goats in the dog area) and there is a dog door for dogs under 30 lbs.

During your visit, explore the property and surrounding area on foot or by car. Rolling Meadows, rocky crags, cool forests, mountain streams and great vistas wait. Nearby Lost River State Park maintains miles of hiking trails and a horse stable in the summer. Climb or ride to Cranny Crow ''''''elevation 3,200 feet ''''''for commanding panoramas.
