Comfortable, roomy, and genuinely quiet
A large, open-plan first floor flows from the new kitchen to the dining and living areas, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace — then out to a back deck and balcony with a new hot tub and long views over field, river, and mountain.
The house has a warm, collected feel: the walls are hung with paintings handed down through our family alongside works and photography by local West Virginia artists, so every room has its own character and a bit of a story.
Gather together
The open living space is built for downtime — a wood-burning fireplace, a new large-screen smart TV with Roku (stream with your own accounts), a foosball table, and a big cabinet of board games, card games, and puzzles for all ages.

A new kitchen built for a crowd
The large open kitchen has granite counters and a big island, and it's genuinely well stocked — everything you need to cook for a full house.
- Granite counters & large island with seating
- Full-size range, oven, microwave & dishwasher
- Instant Pot, crockpot, electric skillet & griddle
- Blender, coffee grinder / smoothie maker & hand mixer
- Coffee maker, electric kettle & popcorn popper
- Ice-cream maker (a crowd-pleaser)
Step outside
The deck and yard are made for downtime — a new hot tub, a balcony, a hammock, and acres of flat, mowed space to spread out. There's a large parking area for a whole caravan of cars and not a neighbor in earshot, so big groups and music-making weekends never have to watch the clock. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is recommended in winter, as the rural road can take a while to get plowed.
- New hot tub on the deck + private balcony
- Hammock, picnic table & chairs
- Charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal)
- Lawn games — bocce, horseshoes, badminton, soccer & football
- Large parking area for a caravan of cars
Your own pond, river & walking paths
The land is as much a part of the stay as the house. A pond sits in the meadow with a mowed path looped around it — an easy stroll before coffee, or a spot to skip stones with the kids. From there the mowed grounds roll down to the Dry Fork River, which runs right across the property: wade in on a warm afternoon, cast for trout in spring, or just follow the bank and listen to the water.
- Pond with a mowed walking path around it
- Private frontage on the Dry Fork River — hike down and wade right in
- Trout fishing in spring (the river is stocked)
- Mowed lawns and paths through 65 acres of meadow and woods
