The Sanctuary at Lost River State Park: Your Secluded Mountain Escape
Discover unparalleled tranquility and natural beauty at The Sanctuary, your private haven nestled directly beside the main entrance of Lost River State Park. We've crafted the perfect mountain getaway, blending modern comfort with the serene embrace of the West Virginia wilderness.
This inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage, complete with a cozy loft, offers a beautiful atmosphere with all the modern conveniences you need for a relaxing stay. But it's outside where The Sanctuary truly shines. Step into your completely private and secluded backyard oasis, a hidden gem perfect for unwinding. Gather around the crackling fire pit for evenings filled with stargazing, storytelling, and s'mores under the vast mountain sky. It's the ideal space for intimate outdoor dinners or simply soaking in the peace and quiet of the Lost River Valley.
While you'll feel wonderfully off-grid and immersed in nature, you're still conveniently located near charming local restaurants and markets. The Sanctuary at Lost River State Park isn't just a place to stay; it's your personal retreat, perfectly positioned for unforgettable adventures and profound relaxation
