Great farm experience.

The stay at this home was fantastic. The location is secluded and quiet. The yard is quite nice and the fire pit is a nice add. The deck is beautiful and has a great wooded view. The entertainment options (Wi-Fi, Streaming Services, Games) are great, the master suite on the ground floor is very nice and the kitchen is well apportioned. Living room is comfortable and our traveling party of 6 (4 adults, 2 kids) had room to sleep, play, work, and cook. Only minor issue is a minor electrical issue, but the owner even made that a positive and and followed up with help and an electrician's visit. Communication was extremely quick and kind. Can't say enough nice things about the stay and location. I travel to different places when I can, so it is unlikely I'll be back in WV soon, but if I was, I would have zero hesitation and booking this nice home again. Made for a very happy new year.

We had a wonderful experience through the entire process of staying at this rental. Karen was responsive to my questions, provided recommendations about area attractions/restaurants and even followed up the week of our trip to make sure we were all set. The house itself was clean and well maintained. We cooked our meals for the weekend and enjoyed using the grill as well as the kitchen. The bed, as well as the couches in the living room were very comfortable. The deck is awesome and the surroundings peaceful. I enjoyed taking a few walks in the adjacent farm country/forest. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend in the country, but with the amenities and comfort of home.

Perfect weekend getaway in Karen's Mountain View Cottage! Cozy, comfortable, and clean, its in a perfect peaceful spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of DC. Kids totally unplugged and instead enjoyed exploring the outdoors. The open layout on the second floor works really well, and the front porch was wonderful for relaxing, enjoying the beautiful mountain view, and watching the kids play. The bonus third bedroom is great. I also love that the house has the charm of a country farmhouse but with all the amenities of a new build - heated bathroom floors and Wifi! On Saturday, we took the relatively short drive to Canaan Valley to go skiing, and snow tubing on Sunday before heading home. There's so much to do in this area, we are already planning another trip in the summer to go hiking and canoeing. Can't wait! The Farmhouse is so close to DC, I love we can visit often enough to make a vacation tradition for the family.

Our stay in West Virginia was everything we hoped for and more! Karen was very responsive and quick to provide suggestions for making the most of our 3-day visit. The house was immaculately clean and just enough off the beaten path to really relax without trekking too far off the grid. The check-in/check-out process was a breeze and the house had all of the essentials. We loved the proximity to George Washington National Forest and Lost River State Park, and enjoyed our evenings playing board games and grilling out. I would absolutely recommend Karen's house as a beautiful escape from city life and hope we can make it back again sometime soon!

The host canceled this reservation 29 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We just spent long weekend at Karen's house - and we can all highly recommend it! The house was spotless when we arrived, the amenities were great, and we loved firing up the grill on the deck for lunch in the warm late October sunshine. We thoroughly enjoyed the area, but it was Karen's wonderful house that really made the weekend. We're already planning our next visit!

Karen was very responsive to our pre-arrival questions. She provided great suggestions for things to do around the area. The house was fantastic! We all left very happy, rejuvenated from the peaceful weekend in the mountains.

What a perfect weekend getaway house! Karen was so helpful from the start. The house was exactly as pictured and was perfectly located and so cozy. The deck is just too great for words. We loved it here!

Rose was very easy to work with, and the cabin was as described and very comfortable. A great home base to explore Lost River and other nearby parks.

Rose offered great directions to the cabin. The cabin was in a tiny woodland community right next to lost river state park. It was very peaceful and quiet, with a great deck to sit and relax on or play one of the board games that Rose had left for us!

I had a vacation with my family in this cabin and it was one of the best cabin I have ever visited.

This is a wonderful place for a getaway no matter how long or short. As a foodie, it was such a surprise to see that you would want for nothing in this fully stocked kitchen. Cooking with the most amazing view possible was something I won't soon forget. The rest of the house is just as beautiful. I really felt like I was at home here and would recommend this property to anyone who wants amazing views, a great home, privacy and every amenity you could ever need. So glad I made this choice for my first airbnb trip. Very impressive.

With truly stunning vistas, this home situated at top of mountain yet snuggled into its own area offers an amazing time in the mountains. The long winding road is your introduction to the quiet, peaceful and private land all around. With a fun and tasteful decor, the house, views and deck provided a lovely weekend escape with friends and dogs. The owners clearly love this place as its personal touches truly feel like being at home yet it is well equipped for visitors. With trails to hike right on the property, we enjoyed our time there as well as nearby Lost River State Park. We'll be back!

The cabin was beautiful and exactly as described. The views were stunning! Sandi was incredibly responsive to requests leading up to our stay, and was responsive to a request while we were there -- responding almost immediately on New Year's Day! We would highly recommend this cabin, and certainly will consider staying again in the future. I'm sure it's wonderful in all seasons.

Sandi's place is perfectly located on a secluded beautiful mountain top, far away from other humans. It is fully stocked with almost any kitchen appliance you could hope for, comfortable beds and a pool table down stairs. We cooked so much delicious food and walked around in the 13 acres. Too bad it was winter time and the hot tub was not ready for us. The only item that was a little strange were the many cameras located both inside and outside of the property. It felt a little bit like we were on a reality television show.

We spent the week of Christmas at the cabin with out two college aged children and they have already asked if we can go again next year! We hiked, cooked, played games, had amazing conversation and we're feeling so at peace that we didn't want to leave. The house is well stocked with all you need in the kitchen. So if you love to cook like us then you will want for nothing! The beds are comfortable and you don't have to bring any linens or towels. They are provided! There is a basement so if someone wants to have some time alone it's easy to achieve! The pool table is fun too :-) Quiet like I have never experienced! The view is ever changing with the weather and we got some amazing pictures. (We did have quite a bit of rain.) The term blaze your own trail is the reality of the hiking you will do when you step outside. There aren't any clear paths but we thoroughly enjoyed finding our own way. Very steep hills! Great exercise!! We can't wait to return. Only next time we hope to stay for 2 weeks!

If you're looking for a quiet getaway, this is the place! Driving from the DC area, we stopped to hike a trail off of Skyline Drive in Shenandoah. After a long scenic drive we arrived at the cabin. Lucked out with good weather and 2wd would've made it, but glad we brought 4wd (gravel/dirt roads and steep inclines at some points). No immediate neighbors, so it really feels secluded and private. Note there are security cameras on the property, they're there to protect the property and also made us feel more safe in such a secluded place. The views are spectacular! Woke up early to watch the sunrise from the deck. We originally planned to hike a trail at Lost River State Park, but with the comforts of home and 16 acres to explore we ended up staying on the property. Cabin was very clean, kitchen well stocked if you want to cook, pool table and chromecast in the basement, fire pit outside - something for everyone. This cabin is dog-friendly, but you wouldn't be able to tell it was so clean and didn't smell (my mom has the nose of a bloodhound and couldn't tell pets had been there before). Wifi worked well - I think the power went out for a moment while we were on a hike, but reset the router and we were back online in a few minutes. No cell service, but with Wifi you could make calls. Overall a great stay and would love to go back with a bigger group!

I can't write a five stars review because I want this place to be available when I want to go back. But seriously, this place is amazing.

My husband and I spent a long weekend at Dan's cabin to enjoy the fall foliage and explore the surrounding hiking trials. Dan was extremely helpful and responsive from the time we sent our first inquiry until we checked out. The cabin is exactly as described and pictured. It's nestled in the loveliest area, and provided the peace and quiet that we'd been craving. We hiked in Lost River State Park, took yoga classes at Lost River Yoga (my new favorite studio!) and had a very nice meal at the Brewing Company. Coffee and scones at the General Store are also not to be missed. We had a wonderful visit, and our two dogs were very happy to be included in our excursions. Many thanks to Dan for proving this beautiful and pet-friendly place for our fall getaway!

Dan was an amazing host and really went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The place was very comfortable and well appointed. The area is beautiful and the porch was a great place to unwind after a day of hiking with a drink in hand while listening to music. I highly recommend Dan's place to couples and families alike.

Very cozy cabin. Fireplace was great, and kitchen had everything we needed to cook. Perfect for our weekend getaway. Home is for sale....possible turnover shortly.

If you are looking for a quiet place off the beaten path, then this place is for you. The place offers all of the comforts of home and more. The comfortable furnature is nicely arranged in a spacious setting next to a fireplace. There are 2 bedrooms and a few baths. I bet the screened in porches are nice in the summer... however we experienced our first snowfall of the season. Highly recommend.

Fantastic cabin. The open layout on the second floor really works well, and the wrap around porches on both levels make the place. Screened in porch just off the kitchen is a great place to have a glass of wine, eat dinner, or just sit and listen to the forest. Speaking of which, you're right in the middle of it -- the place feels secluded and peaceful. My wife and I loved it.

This cabin is perfect for a family that wants to get away from it all. Situated on the side of a forested mountain in a sleepy valley in West Virginia, it's not a far drive to top-notch hiking and small town shopping. The great room is rustic and quite comfy, the kitchen is well-prepared for cooking gourmet meals, and the screened-in porches are a must for enjoying the morning and evening air. You couldn't ask for a better host than Dan, who was communicative and very helpful.

This place was perfect. So clean and nice and had everything you need. The host was so nice to accommodate us last minute! It's a little hard to find, especially at night, and your phone will lose service so be ready with direction! But it's totally worth it once you get there! Lovely place.

This was our first time using Airbnb and I can hardly put into words the fantastic experience. Dan was a terrific host, he made sure we arrived safely, checked to make sure we had everything we needed, and even went so far as to check back in the following day to ensure we were pleased He took such good care of us. The house is AMAZING. The attention to detail can be felt everywhere, from the entrance way to the living room to the bedrooms. Everything is first-rate. We were sad to leave and can't wait to come back.

Daryl's cabin is fantastic! We had thanksgiving weekend and loved our time away! The cabin was secluded and cozy- it was great to have a fire to cozy up to each night! The place was clean and equipped with everything needed! Thank you for having us and our furry friends- we will definitely be back!

The cabin was spotless and the location was breathtaking. It was the perfect place for a peaceful and quiet getaway. We will absolutely stay here again.

Our family had a pleasant stay at this little cabin. We felt well taken care of and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Daryl was responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. We would definitely stay there again!

Daryl's cottage was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway to beautiful Lost River! The cabin is as described, with three well appointed bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large deck for enjoying life on the mountain. Everything was very clean, towels and linens were top quality, and the powerful shower was wonderful after a full day of hiking in nearby Lost River State Park. The park also has a great pool and a welcome center with lots of local information. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay at Daryl's Fairytale Hollow. The location is beautiful and the house comfortably fit six people and two small dogs. Has all the essentials and is close to many activities at the nearby Lost River State Park. You can make day trips to Shenandoah National Park as well--about a 70-90 minute drive each way but you get to enjoy wonderful views while en route.

I needed a last minute getaway for Columbus Day weekend, and was so happy that Darryl was able to accommodate me in less than 48 hours! It was a peaceful, relaxing three days. The late checkout is especially nice - no rushing in the morning. The house has a really warm feeling, very clean. It was great to be able to bring my dog, go hiking, rest.

Daryls cabin is a great place for a weekend get away. I was fortunate enough to spend a week here. The cabin being pet friendly allowed me to bring my dog for some hiking and fishing on the trails. Daryl was very easy to work with and was very quick to get back to me on any questions I had. I highly recommend Daryls cabin if you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Everything went well at Drew's place! It's a lovely room with a gorgeous bathroom, and Drew had cookies and fruit waiting for me when I got there. He responded quickly to all my communications and we had a nice chat when I arrived. I received a delicious bacon and eggs breakfast in the morning. I'd definitely recommend staying here. Also, the treehouse is super cool. If I were staying here again, I would stay in it!

Scenic surround. great hiking, beautiful sunrise, very comfortable home

Place was great. Just what we needed, super relaxing. The drive up to the lodge is incredible. Was hoping for some cool mountain weather, but as its still early/mid september, we got summertime temps. No worries, we still enjoyed being outside. Would definitely recommend and stay again, esp. in ski season

This house is fantastic and the views are surreal. We stayed for three nights in mid March and got about 6 inches of snow the second day we were there. We only saw one other car the entire weekend, which was excellent. Got the fire place roaring and enjoyed some hikes and touch football. We had a large group (13) and we all slept comfortably with a few of us on the floor. The kitchen is perfectly situated so that you can cook and enjoy everyone's company all at once. Keep in mind that the last 10 miles or so to the house (coming from Baltimore) are gravel roads. We lucked out in that it did not snow while we were driving, but if it had that would've been tricky. Loved my stay at the mighty wind and would definitely recommend to anyone.

There are a group of us who take a long week-end get-away together every year. This year, we enjoyed a relaxing weekend in the mountains. It took us a little while to get settled in and Linda was very accessible by phone to answer our questions to help us get comfortable. (There is no cell coverage but Wi-Fi gave us ability to text and email. Calls to Linda were made from the house land-line.) We stayed in the main house but The Dog Pound is adorable & offered additional space. We didn't use it because there were some maintenance issues, probably from lack of use that needed to be resolved and when we called Linda, she was right on it. You can see the sunrise from the LR window or sit out on the deck and enjoy it in perfect solitude. We were prepared for the somewhat remote location and enjoyed all of our meals in. (Pack what you need.) The kitchen was appointed with all of the cookware we needed and easy for a group to work in together. We also had our first charcoal barbeque in years. After dinners on two nights, we retreated to the fire pit, enjoying the views as the sun went down. Only on one evening was the sky clear enough for some star gazing but rest assured, if you are there on a clear night...WOW. We were hoping for some wild-life sightings but all we saw during our visit was a lonely groundhog. You pass through Lost River State Park on the way to the house. I believe this is the closest of any near-by activities. The park is beautiful. We traveled about an hour to a winery and brewery for a day trip and really enjoyed the outing. Other than that, we stayed pretty close to "home." A monsoon-like storm was our incentive to stay-put but watching it from the LR with a bowl of popcorn was great. If you book this home, be prepared with everything you need so all you have to do is RELAX and ENJOY. Happy Trails.

Linda was above and beyond responsive and accommodating. The mountain views were amazing with plenty of outdoor space to run around - exactly what we were looking for in a family get away. The proximity to the Lost River Park was perfect for quick hikes and swimming, the roads easy to navigate even with a fully loaded minivan, and very conveniently located 2.5 hrs from DC. Our children saw their first shooting stars there - what an incredible night sky! Definitely a destination for star gazers and nature lovers, with all the comforts of home.

Our group very much enjoyed our stay at the Mighty Wind Lodge and found the location of the chalet to be the perfect combination of proximity to Washington, DC and remote "get-away." The bedrooms were all very nice and private with more than enough towels and linens provided by the host. Part of our group also stayed in the Dog Pound (above the garage), which includes a kitchenette and private living area. The only issue with the booking was with the payment of West Virginia taxes, which the host sought to collect after the booking was accepted despite the fact that it stated they were included in the nightly rate. Pay close attention to the fine print and ensure that you communicate with the host on the actual price of the booking.

Linda's home is absolutely stunning. Everything is just as described and communication is direct, quick, and easy. The beds are so comfortable, the kitchen is stocked as if it was used full time, and a lot of people leave behind charcoal, sugar etc. Mighty wind is so no joke though - so even if the house sounds like it might blow down don't worry too much :) thank you Linda for your graciousness, accommodating persona, and beautiful home!

My group of 10 had an amazing experience staying at the Mighty Wind Lodge. Our large group fit comfortably in the house. About 2.5 hours outside of DC, the location brings you into a beautiful sanctuary in the mountains. The house is nicely decorated, the host Linda is great, and the surroundings are epic. We saw a dozen shooting stars each night sitting around the campfire. I would highly recommend making this trip.

One of the best B&B experiences of my life - and I've had quite a few! My girlfriend Melissa and I stayed at the Inn at Abbott Farm with our dogs Ziggy and Finnegan. We made the reservation at the last minute, but Lisa confirmed quickly and was helpful and communicative as we tried to verify their pet policy. Neither of us are from West Virginia or knew much about the Lost River Valley or, indeed, the wonderful home that Lisa and Bob have created together. We both felt somewhat guilty because of our ignorance -- while we thought we were rolling the dice and hoping for the best, it turned out that we had chosen an authentic farm to table bed and breakfast that, although only open for about a year now, already has loyal and repeat customers, such as the charming young family that we met at breakfast, whose daughter insisted they return because she loved her first stay so much. We could not believe our good luck because we not only found a full service bed and breakfast on AirBnB, but one that featured food that was entirely made from the livestock and crops raised on Abbott Farm. (The only exceptions: orange juice, whole milk, and coffee. Everything else was made by Lisa and Bob, including our jams and jellies, eggs, muffins, bacon, ham, and fruit salad.) Lisa's description on the AirBnB profile praises Bob being handy and doing the hard work that makes the Inn and its surrounding buildings so charming. At first, I simply thought it was romantic that she seemed so fond of his talents, but after seeing the before and after pictures of the Inn, it became clear that the man is a genuine virtuoso. Lisa might be the one to tell you about the artists who've made the various works that adorn the home, but together Lisa and Bob are an artistic duo whose passion and touch have combined to produce something truly special in Mathias -- something you have to see and experience for yourself to appreciate. I woke up before sunrise to take our dogs on a long walk through the countryside, which was beautiful. I sat in the library when we returned - still before anyone else was awake - and read about the Inn on the website. I was struck by the way that descriptions of various elements of our stay hardly seemed to do them justice. Our "nosh" was nothing less than an impressive meat and cheese platter with excellent white wine (refreshing on a warm summer evening) that we would easily have spent $50 on at our favorite neighborhood bistro. And here Lisa calls it a "nosh" (so New York!), as if she had left out some graham crackers and a glass of milk. Or consider the phrase "farm to table." Maybe I've been doing this too long and have become cynical, but I barely noticed it when I was considering a booking. It seemed like...

Lisa & Bob were great. Always very attentive and making sure we were comfortable. The Inn is very nice, and the food was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Lisa and Bob made us feel at home and we enjoyed our time staying with them. The house has a few rooms with fireplaces to hang out by and our room was toasty despite the weather this weekend. They provided useful directions and we had a great breakfast this morning.

What a lovely surprise to find this place in the middle of the Lost River Valley. Great decor, HOMEMADE BACON and eggs from the backyard hens. We had a great weekend in Mathias. Lisa and Bob are attentive and easygoing hosts, making us feel really like we were at home.

My partner and I wanted a night away during Labor Day weekend in West Virginia, so we booked The Charles Donald room. It was delightful and exceeded our expectations. The Inn at Abbott Farm is a true farm-to-table experience in a quiet, beautiful part of eastern West Virginia. The decor and furnishings at the Inn are authentic and reflect the nature of the location but also Lisa and Bob's warm and hospitable spirit. The attention to detail was impeccable, from cleanliness to the offer of wine and a "munchies" plate for when we were peckish late at night. The Inn is not as remote as the lack of cell phone signal would suggest; there are restaurants and shops between 15 and 30 minutes drive. We loved learning about the history of the property and following all the farm animals around. Lisa and Bob were a delight to speak with and made all the guests (they were fully booked our night) feel welcomed. It was great to disconnect (wifi was available in the common areas if needed but I don't recommend) and wake up to the sun and rooster's call. We'll definitely return, hopefully for the autumn foliage!

What a wonderful farm to table experience! Bob & Lisa were friendly & charming hosts who made us feel welcome right away. They have a beautifully decorated home with an adorable puppy…the living space was charming, cozy and well appointed, you can tell a lot of love and care was put into the home...Location is right next to the state park. Can't imagine a better weekend getaway... We are definitely looking forward to the next stay.

We had a wonderful time at the Inn at Abbott Farm in Mathias! The farm is very close to the Lost River State Park, where we went hiking and horse riding. There are many more things to do in the area and Lisa and Bob are very helpful in sharing their knowledge of the region. Their wonderful dog is just as welcoming as Lisa and Bob! We enjoyed the country atmosphere of the farm, with chickens walking around - and laying eggs for our breakfast. Lisa brought us a delicious late night snack over to the Doctor's office, and the breakfast was absolutely divine, entirely made of home-made delicacies!! Lisa and Bob also recommended to us some great places to stop at on our way back to DC. We had a great weekend and felt very homely and welcome!

This was my second stay at the Inn, and it was just as amazing as the first. Can't recommend this place enough - beautiful home and the hosts are endlessly friendly and accommodating.

Lost Forest Bed & Breakfast offered a warm and welcoming home for our journey to West Virginia for a wedding. We enjoyed the grounds, feeding goats and chickens, and sleep great each night on cozy beds in clean, fresh rooms. Grayson and Rebecca are super friendly, with lots of info about the area and fun stories to make your stay special. Grayson cheerfully made us yummy breakfasts each morning and delicious original dinners. They welcomed us like family! Thanks :)

Beautiful getaway in the country with a small farm feel. No cell service but the wifi should provide what you need at the house. Multiple types of animals free roaming are fun to have around too.

Our communication prior to arrival was with Drew, but we were warmly welcomed with some freshly made cookies by Rob and his wife who were helping in managing this BnB. The house was clean and we could not ask for any better and even thought of extending our stay for one more day. I would strongly recommend Lost forest BNB to anyone who wants to get lost in the woods.

What a great weekend we had! Grayson and Rebecca are very nice and friendly, the house is very nice and clean with everything you need to enjoy the perfect getaway in the woods. Definitely planning to go back again!

Prior reviews say it all....great place for a getaway. Heather is super easy to work with and very very responsive to questions. The place itself is quaint, clean, and comfortable. Would stay there again and recommend it.

Very Relaxing and mesmerizing. SO much to do if you can pull yourself away from the serenity.

Heather's cabin was amazing! It is in a great location tucked away in the George Washington Forest. It was perfect if you are looking for a peaceful get away! The directions were easy to follow and the place was pretty easy to find! I'd definitely recommend and would love to stay again for a weekend get away!

Heather thought of everything. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we could have needed or wanted, and there were very detailed instructions for the cabin as well. Communication was great, and she even went out of her way to try and make dinner reservations for us at her favorite place. Just really thoughtful and attentive overall. The cabin itself was very clean and comfortable--it rained the whole weekend but we didn't mind just hanging out there. The location is also great. There is a lot to do in the Lost River area and we had a fantastic time. Perfect peace and quiet, beautiful area, great weekend away.

The area is lovely. Heather was so responsive and kind. The cabin was exactly as represented in the listing. We had a nice relaxing weekend. Thanks for the hospitality!

The Cardinals Nest was the perfect place for my fiance and I to celebrate his birthday! It was comfortable and utilitarian. I loved that there were no neighbors in sight. The area is beautiful, with so many outdoor activities to choose from. It was also wonderful to get away from the bustle of the city.

What a FABULOUS place. Perfect for getting off the grid with an amazing amount of hospitality. Heather had everything I needed for a two day stay in BEAUTIFUL Lost River. I sat on her giant porch with my pooch and listened to the rain and enjoyed the silence of the forest. I will be back, and I highly recommend.

Heather's place at Lost River is a wonderful experience for those looking to get away from the city, and be unplugged. The home is more spacious than I thought - with a full kitchen, separate room, and a living room area with 2 loft beds. She gave very detailed directions, which we ended up not needing. Instead, we used the GPS coordinates she provided and downloaded a (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) map of the area "offline" which allowed us to to use the GPS during our stay. Heather has post-its and notes everywhere which details all the should and should-nots - basically, treat the place as if it were your own home! She was very easy to communicate with and response rate is quick. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Just 2 hours away from Northern Virginia/DC area! It was perfect to see the fall foliage, with plenty of hiking trails nearby in addition to the Trout Pond area. Even though you are remote, there are close little towns about 15-20 min drive away.

The place was exactly what we were looking for- idyllic, peaceful, clean and convenient. Kelly was very prompt with his communication and checked in frequently to make sure everything was going good. I would absolutely Kelly and this cabin for anyone looking to escape their busy lives for a weekend or so.

As with my first visit, the dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed Kelly and Jack's oasis. I highly recommend this cabin and location for a getaway. The only regret is we did not stay longer.

We had a wonderful weekend at the cabin, enjoying campfires and beautiful scenery. The cabin smells like fresh cut wood and is very spacious. We stayed there with two toddlers, three teenagers, and two adults and felt like we had more than enough room. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook full meals. The Tips and Tricks that the owners sent were invaluable. We went to lunch at the brewery they recommended and took the children to the local playground and on the hike that they recommended. The owners were very helpful and touched base with us throughout our stay to ensure that all our needs were met. We highly recommend this cabin

We rented the Lost River Cabin in order to attend a wedding that was held at the Lost River Guesthouse. We found the cabin to be just what we needed. It was clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised. Kelly provided useful and important information to aid us in our enjoyment of the cabin. Kelly was diligent about reminding us that we would be in the woods with "no cell phone connection" so that we would not be able to rely on cell phone GPS. He provided great directions. The cabin has WiFi so we were able to connect once we found the cabin. Kelly checked in with us to be certain that "all was well." We felt comfortably welcomed to this charming West Virginia hide away.

We so enjoyed our time in Lost River. The cabin was perfect with everything we needed and provided a much needed getaway. Kelly was great about communicating ahead of time and anticipating questions we didn't even think to ask. It wasn't hard to get to and was secluded, but not too secluded. We will definitely be back!

Listing was just as we expected, if not more. Host was very communicative and helpful in ensuring we were all set.

Absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful cabin in blissful Lost City, WV. The cabin was way better than described! Very clean and more than enough room for my five guests and I. My dog loved running around on the beautiful property in the back yard. Another thing that was amazing was the fire pit, plenty of great burning firewood and lots of chairs. Definitely coming back as soon as possible. Thanks Kelly, amazing response time!!

We enjoyed our stay here the place was spacious and very relaxing. It was the first time we stayed in this area of WV and we found plenty to do during our stay. On the first night we enjoyed grilling out and a fire in the fire pit. Upon our arrival we had a couple of concerns but were quickly answered by Kelly when we contacted him.

My stay at Abbott Farm was wonderful, and I will definitely be staying here again. Lisa and her family were warm, welcoming, and a joy to be around. I had my dog with me, and they were incredibly accommodating (and their 4 month old puppy was the perfect playmate for my dog!). Great food, amazing people, beautiful home. Would absolutely recommend.

Thank you for a wonderful experience. Your hospitality was was amazing. Mark really enjoyed feeding the baby lambs. It seems lamb is definitely off our menu from now on! We are eager to visit and bring friends. Cheers, Mark and Rebecca

We loved staying at this adorable inn and Lisa and Bob were really welcoming and warm. The beautiful house was just as pictured except if you can imagine the delectable smell of banana bread and coffee that Lisa served us the minute we entered. We also enjoyed great conversation with both of them. Our hosts gave us direction the state park just 4 miles away with some great trails and hiking. The farm fresh breakfast was also phenomenal and really the highlight of the trip. In addition, it was Valentine's day weekend and Lisa most thoughtfully prepared a tray of chocolate covered strawberries and a cheese platter and a bottle of champagne for us! There is not much to do in the community of Mathias, but if you are looking for a quiet, nature filled weekend disconnected from your phone-this is perfect! All to say, we will be back and tell our friends!

Bob and Lisa were wonderful hosts. I am 8 months pregnant and mistakenly arrived one full day early on Labor Day weekend! Obviously we caught them off guard, but they graciously took us to our room and showed us around the place without any hesitation. Our room was beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable. We had our two little dachshunds with us and Bob and Lisa even took care of them when we went out for dinner on both nights. Lisa's cooking is amazing! The homemade granola, bacon, sausage, fruit, jam, and eggs (all from the farm) was absolutely delicious - we ate so much that we skipped lunch on both days. We even took a little granola on a hike and got to bring home some fresh veggies with us. I would highly recommend a relaxing weekend here, its definitely in the country - but with the perks of the good life. The hiking nearby is nice, but as I was preggers, we didn't get to explore very far. Our first night we had dinner nearby at a very country-style place (Lost River Grill) and the next night drove further away (about 25 mins from the Inn) to a really good brewery/restaurant - Lost River Brewing company. On our drive back to DC, we stopped by the GW National Forest and there was a really nice 4 mile hike called Big Schloss trail . I would recommend that if you are looking for a nice view and its on the way back to DC!

This is truly an adorable inn, and Lisa & Bob were more than welcoming. My boyfriend and I decided to venture out of DC for New Year's (also our anniversary), and the Inn was just over 2 hours drive. Lisa's directions were CRUCIAL just after you reach Strasburg - there's zero cell or data reception beyond that. Once we arrived, we were greeted with snacks, wine, and their sweet puppy Opal. Lisa made an amazing dinner for us and the other guests, using ingredients sourced right from the farm. Same for the full breakfast the next morning. Overall, our stay was just perfect - our room (the Sidney) was super comfortable, with a queen bed, huge soaking tub, and almost no noise from the outside. We're very much looking forward to staying again in the future!

Lisa and Bob were absolutely wonderful, and their home was equally lovely. They are definitely part of the reason we had such a great stay. The (their) farm-to-table breakfast was such a treat - honestly some of the best bacon I've ever had. The room is sweet, bed comfortable, and the bathtub was the icing on the top. We did a two-hour trail ride at Hidden Trail Stables, located within Lost River State Park (10 minute drive), which we would highly recommend. We also went swimming at Trout Pond and hung out on the "beach" for a couple of hours. Would definitely (and hope to) stay here again.

Very nice apartment all to yourself. Quiet neighborhood and there is a ton to do in the area. The host was very nice and gave us tons of pointers for the area.

Nice little place for a vacation in the country. Make sure you bring hiking gear, etc., but not too many groceries, since there's only a little fridge. This is a good writer's retreat, nature-lover getaway, etc. The neighbors are friendly and so is Tulinda.

Nice place. Clean. Host is very friendly. Provided us with great information for things to do in the area.

Great place for a great price.

Spacious, peaceful, and comfortable location in the Virginia mountains. Tulinda was responsive and her directions were helpful. A few steps away from Bryce mountain. Very scenic area although few food/entertainment options nearby

Our host Tulinda was exceptional and responded to all communications promptly. The apartment was neat and clean. It had two full baths that was a great help. It slept the 5 of us comfortably. Fairly close to the Ski slopes in a nicely wooded community. We would certainly stay there again. Thanks Tulinda

Brian and Jeanne were excellent host. Their home was very welcoming, secluded with other homes in the mountains near the Bryce resort. Great escape from the City life! Very scenic drive and great night sky for stargazers. Their home has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Just bring HDMI for flat-screen TV ( no cable but WiFi allows you to connect your devices you bring).

A nice, quaint, comfortable place for a peaceful family getaway.

Brian contacted us in plenty of time before our trip with complete details to allow us to get into the condo. He gave us full details of what to expect when we arrived, which were spot on. We asked a couple of questions about the local events and the location of the grocery. His responses were timely and helpful. He even left us a personal note, before we checked in, that made us feel welcome in his home. IMHO, the pictures don't do it justice. We found it to be a terrifically cozy place to stay, with complete tools for cooking. The neighborhood was quiet; the neighbors were friendly. The bed was warm and comfortable, and the view from the veranda is to die for. We would gladly visit again.

We enjoyed our stay at this location and the scenery was beautiful. A few things to keep in mind: the furniture/appliances are dated/stained, the master bed is hard, and there are few "frills." But for a decent place at a reasonable rate, it's a good choice, and it was nice to be able to bring our dog. This condo is not actually in the Bryce resort, but just across the street from it. Our family enjoyed miniature golf there and the driving range. We took the chair lift to the top and had a beautiful view.

Brian and Jeanne's place was lovely and Jeanne was very communicative about questions I had. We had a good stay and would come back again.

Had a wonderful relaxing weekend! Great communication from the host & perfect getaway from DC.

Very responsive. Great place to stay.

Selfishly don't want to say how amazing this place is, as I want to return and don't want this hidden gem fully booked. Great hospitality and communication from Brian and Jeanne. Would highly recommend, I will be back!

A great home and I loved the open living room with high ceilings! The fire pit out back was great for the evenings. There's a nice grill as well so we were able to grill some ribs. A great weekend get away in nature.

Had a fantastic weekend trip for my boyfriends birthday, area is super quiet and private. House was very clean and Amanda was always available for any questions or concerns. Will definitely be renting again!

Very nice get-away spot. Beautiful area. Amanda's descriptions were accurate and communication was easy.

Our stay at Amanda's place was enjoyable. It was a nice location with friendly neighbors. We enjoyed the walk around the lake. Before booking we didn't read the list of amenities correctly, if we had we would have noticed that bed linens and towels were not included. It has made me realize I have to read the not included as well as what is included. Had I been a road trip and didn't notice it then we would have been in a situation. I feel this should be written in the (URL HIDDEN) this is a basic necessity. Although a cleaning fee was not charged we did not know until we arrived that we were expected to vacuum and mop floors as part of check out, again this should be written in the description. We have stayed in many vacation rentals some with a cleaning fee and some without, and those without we have not had to clean to that degree. Again, this should be written in the description.

We had a fabulous time at Shooga Shack! The house was very comfortable, clean, cozy and had everything we needed. The house is perfectly situated close to the lake but in a private corner of Bryce. We will definitely we staying at Shooga Shack sometime soon.

Shooga Shack was a great get away for our family! Our wifi connection was a little spotty, but other than that it was so nice to get away and disconnect! Amanda was always available for our questions and/or concerns. You will not regret staying here!!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Shooga Shack! It was the perfect place for a fun, relaxing weekend with a few friends! Not only that, but Amanda was great with communicating! I highly recommend staying here!

A perfect place for a getaway and to bask in the glorious nature! The cabin is set up in a way that will make you feel like you're home away from home! It's cozy and has only what you need. The cabin is in a nice, secluded area but close to great trails. There is no service which was the perfect opportunity to put phones away and soak up every moment we spent at the cabin but also raised a little safety concern as far as reaching to someone in case of an emergency. There are also awesome books, Buddha statues, incense, candles, the decor and everything that created a place of calm and relaxation! Our stay was wonderful!

This cabin was extremely charming and cozy, with really really nice touches. Candles everywhere, a fully stocked kitchen with very sharp knives, even a bathroom with cotton swabs and bubble bath. Lively art on the walls. Insanely comfortable bed. The fireplace and the fire pit were even already built with wood. The cabin looks out onto a quiet ridge and we enjoyed having our coffee and reading outside. And there's good hiking at the nearby park, a quick drive away. This was one of our favorite airbnb stays. And Maureen is extremely sweet, flexible and communicative.

Awesome, awesome place. Nice to get off the grid for a few nights.

We had a great stay here -- everything about the cabin just invites you to make yourself comfortable and relax. We spent plenty of time in the Adirondack chairs out front, enjoying the quiet and the amazing smell of the woods in spring. As expected, there was zero cellphone service in the cabin or in the town (not all of the restaurants offer WiFi for guests). There are some cute markets and restaurants that are worth checking out in Wardensville, as well as a small grocery store. And the hiking is great! Some of the prettiest trails I've seen. Maureen is very responsive and welcoming!

It pains me to write this review because I know as soon as people get wind of how amazing Maureen's cabin is it will be impossible to get a reservation. Maureen's cabin was exactly what we were looking for for a relaxing weekend. It is located in a beautiful area with great view of the GW National Forest. Its also a close drive to the Wolf Gap Rec Area where you can hike Big Schloss and Tibbett Knob. The actual space is lovely. It is decorated beautifully, with so much personality and color. Maureen has thought of everything from shampoo, to candles, to board games. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to do some great cooking while there. Lastly, the bed is beyond comfortable and I assure you will sleep amazingly. Maureen was a great, host very prompt and helpful and even allowed us to check out much later given that the cabin wasn't booked for the next day. We were able to get in an extra hike! Can't recommend enough, we will definitely be back!!! PS: the space is dog friendly with no extra charge! Our greyhound was in heaven sniffing around the property.

Absolutely thrilled we were able to spend time at this amazing cabin. Full of coziness and quaint ambiance surrounded by the quiet woods definitely fit the bill for our small family looking to get away from everything. As avid hikers and outdoor lovers, we couldn't have been more thrilled at all of the opportunities to be outside. Whether sitting around the fire cooking s'mores which were generously provided, swimming the Trout Pond, or hiking the many nearby trails, this is an idyllic getaway. From the plush queen sized bed and ample pillows making the daybed comfy cozy, to the little things like delicious smelling soaps and beautiful rugs, this was perfect. The style is enviable, the location perfect, and the hosts couldn't be better! Our daughter loved roaming around the house with her pups and we enjoyed alone time by the fire pit in the evenings with the kiddos tucked in. For future travelers, we loved stopping by the Lost River Trading Post for coffee and tea on our way in and out of town, too. Thank you, Maureen, for a fantastic getaway!

Maureen's cabin was a perfect weekend getaway from the city. We loved being unplugged and truly getting to appreciate the beautiful woods around us. From the lovely art and decor, to the wonderful soaps, pillows, and blankets we didn't want to leave the cozy cabin!! It was everything we expected and more, and I will definitely return to unwind and take in the scenery at The Cabin at Lost River.

We had a great weekend at the Cabin at Lost River. Maureen's cabin had everything we needed and was exactly as described, if not better. We had quick access to beautiful hikes (Trout Pond Recreation Center and Big Schloss) and to delicious food (Lost River Grill). Be prepared for a weekend off the grid, as we lost cell service well before reaching the cabin (although we were able to get it back when hiking along the ridge and had access to wifi at nearby restaurants). Would definitely recommend staying at the Cabin at Lost River.
