The space
Take a step back in time when you enter one of the original country homesteads in the Clendenin, West Virginia area. The 1887 Farm House sits on hand cut stones and was constructed with rough cut lumber from the surrounding hills. Sleeps up to 5 guests with two bedrooms (one queen, one full, one twin bed), full bathroom, and living room.
The dining room sits to the back of the house and has games, puzzles, a coffee maker, microwave, sink, toaster, and mini fridge. WIFI is available too. There is no TV which provides a welcome break for many families.
Comfortable beds, beautiful views, quiet country evenings for a peaceful night’s rest-frogs chirping, bats flying, stars, fireflies (in summer). Relax on the porch swing as chickens, ducks, and turkeys wonder the property.
Guests are welcome to take a hike up in the woods, fish in the spring fed pond up the hill (please bring own gear-catch and release), play in the creek that winds in front and back of the property, walk the grounds, inspect the 1940’s outhouse, see the old Post Office, and explore the century old dairy cow barn. We are happy to build a camp fire upon request and have scours for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows you can use.
Guests can also take a short walk up the road and visit the cave-home to the earliest settler Gabriel. This is a perfect place for families and friends to visit, explore local restaurants, and take in all that the Elk River Trail State Park has to offer-swimming, kayaking, biking, hiking, and ATV trails.
A 6th guest can be added with a roll away bed for an extra $20/night.
