The cabin was so cute and cozy! The host was wonderful and responded to all of our messages right away. They even went out of their way to get a grill for us to use, which was such a thoughtful touch. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated how accommodating the host was. We’ll definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Christi
We purchased this property because it adjoins our family farm and immediately decided we had to restore the one room schoolhouse. We are excited to share this unique property and the beautiful “trough” portion of the river with our guests.
Why they chose this property
We feel blessed to raise our family in this area where family has lived for generations. The South Branch Valley in Hampshire County, West Virginia is special-we think our guests will agree after they visit!
What makes this property unique
We have kept many features of the original schoolhouse and you will have no neighbors during your stay.
