About this property

Luxury private home with panoramic views of Lost River Valley

Come relax, unwind or explore the Potomac Highlands from Idlewild, our wonderful escape in Lost River. The home is filled with amenities and surrounded by panoramic views of the Appalachian Mountains and the Lost River Valley. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a place to spend time with a small group of friends or family, Idlewild will provide the perfect backdrop for your West Virginia escape. PLEASE NOTE: Pricing varies by group size per the below. WE ALSO ASK GUESTS TO RESPOND TO OUR NOTE ONCE YOU HAVE REQUESTED A BOOKING. THANK YOU!

Pricing: There is a $50/person/night for groups larger than 4 people. The rate also includes WV Sales Tax, our $125 cleaning fee and the increasing fees VRBO charges for the use of its service.

Each bedroom has its own character with en suite full baths and sliding glass doors to outside decks that overlook stunning vistas and wildlife. Wooden decks wrap around the upper and lower floors, with an enclosed screened-in porch on each level. Adirondack, lounge and rocking chairs surround the house - providing ample room to read, bird watch or relax. While the house is spacious, the upstairs is cozy and perfect for couples looking for a mountain getaway. A modern, fully-equipped, luxury kitchen and gas grill provide the tools for wonderful meals. We have a hot tub located in a covered deck with incredible views! Everything you could want for a memorable retreat!

There is a wood burning fireplace in the great room, firewood provided. In cooler months enjoy the hot tub on the lower, enclosed deck. A firepit/deck in back of property can be enjoyed year round and is a great way to take in the extraordinary stars and invigorating mountain air. We have high speed internet. A music player for CDs and iPods. The house is near some great hikes in the George Washington National Forest and Lost River State Park, and can serve as a hub for either exploring wild and wonderful West Virginia or serving as a retreat for relaxing, meditation and taking in the Lost River Valley's natural beauty.

PLEASE tell us about who is coming and where you are from in your inquiry. We also ask for guests to send us their home address.
