Sometimes you just need to get away for a while. But do you opt for a rustic backpacking trip so you can sleep beneath the stars? Or do you spring for a luxurious resort so you can spoil yourself with amenities? Do both at Lost River Blackbird, a cabin near Wardensville, West Virginia where you can soak in a hot tub under a spreading canopy of pines or snuggle up under an heirloom wool blanket with a glass of wine… and still fall asleep beneath the West Virginia stars each night thanks to the skylight windows set in the A-frame roof.
Just a simple two hour drive from Washington, D.C. That's all it takes to get to Lost River Blackbird, this little slice of paradise tucked away in West Virginia.
Come alone or bring a friend or seven - there's space for up to eight (plus a well-behaved pup - yes, it's dog friendly!) in this charming A-frame cabin.
Any stay here at Lost River Blackbird includes access to the cabin's full kitchen (complete with even such luxuries as a Ninja coffeemaker and a pressure cooker!) as well as free wi-fi, a wrap-around deck, a six-person hot tub, a fire pit, a Weber gas grill, a hammock, and an outdoor picnic area.
The three bedrooms are each luxuriously furnished, with a queen bed in each of the two downstairs rooms and two doubles and a trundle bed in the loft bedroom.
Though the beds are smaller, it's the loft bedroom that will really give you an up close and personal view of the night sky, thanks to the skylights in the roof.
The only catch is that the cabin is only accessible by a slightly angled, graveled driveway. Normally, it's no problem for any vehicle, but if there's snow or ice on the ground, visitors will want to have all wheel drive.
To learn more about when this cabin is available so you can snag your spot at this heavenly mountain retreat, head over to Airbnb. And then pack your bags, hit the road to Wardensville, and enjoy your night of sleep beneath the stars here in wild, wonderful West Virginia!
