We transformed this historic farmhouse into a charming West Virginia oasis, blending rustic original wood floors and log walls with modern bathrooms and stylish furnishings. Art aficionados will appreciate the array of original paintings, vintage posters, and photography adorning the walls. The home is furnished with carefully curated, one-of-a-kind vintage pieces that complement the home's time period, and is also stocked with an impressive collection of books.
Once booked, we'll email you our digital guest manual highlighting all of our favorite recommendations for the area including the best places to dine and explore - constantly updated with new info!
Each bedroom has a comfortable foam mattress that we use in all of our properties and are a guest favorite! Each king size bed is outfitted with eco-friendly luxury Cozy Earth sheets, which are truly the world's softest sheets. A great night's sleep is very important for us!
Outdoor entertaining - The farmhouse sits on 3 acres with a lovely view of the pond from the back. Relax under the stars in our state of the art heated saltwater Soake plunge pool which can be used year-round. It's the best of a pool and a hot tub in one at 13' x 7' and 5' deep. There is a large slate patio with lounge seating, a fire pit with 10 weatherproof Adirondack chairs overlooking the pond, and our personal favorite - the 800 sf wraparound porch. The porch has been outfitted with Sonos outdoor speakers, rocking chairs, a porch swing, a salvaged dining table with seating for 12, and an enormous Weber gas grill. We also have a basketball hoop in the driveway, cornhole, horseshoes, and a hammock for relaxing in the shade!
