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 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage, 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 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. Relax in the new hot tub to end the day. This 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

The property was wonderful and exactly as described. We enjoyed our weekend away and would love to come back. Any questions I had they were answered very quickly. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting in the swings even though we didn’t use the fire pit.
