High View Hideaway - A Cozy Lost River Cabin Escape

Nestled in the wooded hillsides of the George Washington National Forest, High View Hideaway provides a serene retreat from the stresses of urban life and is the perfect base to enjoy all the Lost River area has to offer from hiking and fishing to cycling and more. Completely refreshed in 2019, this cozy cabin offers a large queen bedroom and full bath, as well as an open living/dining area, updated kitchen, large deck, and screened-in porch perfect for taking in nature's sights and sounds.

The Space
High View Hideaway boasts a well-equipped open plan kitchen and living/dining area that leads out onto a large deck nestled among the treetops and a screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or sunset drinks. The wood burning stove offers additional charm, as well as an excellent source of heat on chilly nights.

The bedroom features vaulted ceilings, a queen bed, and cozy reading nook along with a large walk-in closet with hand-made shelving that provides generous storage space for all your getaway garb.

The cozy living area is the perfect place to cuddle up with a book, play a game, or watch a movie on our large-screen HD TV.

While The Hideaway is the perfect spot to fully unplug and unwind, we understand the pressures of modern day may require a connection to the outside world so we’ve wired the cabin with fiber optic high-speed internet and wi-fi access, as well as a large screen TV with Amazon Fire TV so you can catch your favorite movie, sporting event, or television series.

The cabin sits on 4 acres of wooded hillside grounds frequented by all forms of wildlife. It’s not uncommon to wake up to deer peering through the bedroom window or enjoying a midday snack among the lush greenery.

Guest Access
While we get away to High View Hideaway whenever our schedules allow, the cabin will be all yours during your time there.

Other Things to Note
The premise is equipped with an exterior Nest camera facing the drive up to the cabin. It is used for security purposes only and monitored only when the property is vacant.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a phone.

Incredibly well-kept cabin in a beautiful location, absolutely everything we needed to enjoy some time away. Easy to access and close enough to recreation, restaurants, and shops to suit every need. One of the best stoves I’ve ever cooked on. Perfect porches. Clearly lots of care went into the home!

Cozy yet modern where it counts

Loved my weekend at the cabin! It's a small, charming cabin in the woods, every window looking out to more trees. But it also has kick-ass wi-fi and a nice TV and a really comfy bed. Exactly what I needed for a break.

Practically perfect in every way

This cabin was everything I’d hoped to have for a solo mini-vacation. The cabin is very private, set among beautiful woods, with an extremely comfortable bed and a cozy living room, a very well-equipped kitchen, great WiFi and tasteful decor... all for a very reasonable price. I will definitely be back!

Cozy cabin in the forest.

Cozy cabin for 2-3 adults or 2 adults +1-2 kids. Pros: Loved being surrounded by beautiful trees, close to multiple outdoor activities we visited, the rustic decor, screened patio & the deck. Nice shower & comfortable bed. Easy check in & out. Cons: no microwave & the grill was broken which didn't matter much to us as we brought a small air fryer. Had a great stay here.

This is truly my “happy place.” This was my second visit and it was just as delightful of a respite the second time around. The house has everything you need and is in a perfect location to just stay in and relax. Observing the woods from the porch is wonderful. I’ll be back!

Great place to get away from it all

We had a great stay, so peaceful & secluded. The cabin was the perfect size for the two of us. Relaxing time sitting on the back deck & screened porch. No cell service, but that didn't bother us. There is wifi so it was no problem finding directions to where we wanted to go. It is quite a drive to any stores or restaurants, but we were there to get away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life, so it was perfect. Would definitely book again.

My family and I spent Thanksgiving at this cabin and enjoyed ourselves. The property is just as peaceful, secluded, and the cabin is just as cozy as advertised. The hosts provided all the information we needed to get in, out, use the wood stove, etc. The kitchen was well stocked for its size. Sleeps two adults and two kids comfortably between the bed and air mattress. The place was a bit too small for two young kids to play comfortably inside, which was tough when it got freezing cold outside. All in all, I would definitely recommend to an adult or couple, but less so for kids.

Restful retreat

My 26 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the High View Hideaway.  Although it dropped to 17 degrees during our visit, we were always comfortable.  The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed to relax and enjoy our trip.  The cabin is a bit off the trail, but we knew that going in and we were easily able to find some nice local trails to explore.  The Big Schloss trail was our favorite.  Since we both work remotely, I should also mention that the WIFI worked just fine.  Thanks Cynthia and Jonathan for a great stay!

Lovely little Cabin in the Woods

This a very quiet, peaceful little getaway. There are no neighbors visible from the property when the trees are in foliage, although I suspect in the winter months you might be able to see one or two. There was a neighbor doing some shooting one night, but that's to be expected in West Virginia. Right out the back door are miles of state park forest to hike, and there are official trails that begin a short drive away. It rained for much of my stay, but that was fine, as the screened in porch made for a great place to contemplate the woods and the rain and a good book. It's also a great place to sit in the dark, just listening. Town is about a 20 minute drive away. I would definitely stay here again.
