SOMEWHERE ELSE IN LRV: Completed in 2023, this beautifully crafted modern mountain cabin offers the perfect blend of thoughtful design, premium finishes, and proven short-term rental success. Situated on a private wooded setting in the heart of Lost River, the home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded throughout. The 14 ft ceilings and natural light-fill the open floor plan. Featuring a stylish kitchen with quartz countertops and an inviting living area centered around a direct-vent gas fireplace that provides the warmth and ambiance of a traditional fire with improved indoor air quality. Dimmer switches throughout the kitchen and living room allow you to create the perfect atmosphere for entertaining or relaxing after a day outdoors. The spa-inspired bathroom is designed for relaxation, featuring a deep soaking tub with a freestanding floor-mounted faucet beneath a large window that frames the surrounding woodland and fills the space with natural light. A ceiling-mounted rain shower head completes the serene bathing experience, while a separate outdoor shower provides the perfect place to rinse off after a day of hiking, exploring, or swimming at nearby Trout Pond. Designed as both a personal retreat and a successful Airbnb, the property has developed a loyal base of repeat guests while being intentionally managed with limited occupancy, premium nightly rates, and a no-pet policy to preserve the home's exceptional condition. The established Airbnb presence, including its Instagram account, can transfer to the new owner, providing a valuable head start for continued rental success. Recent improvements include professional staining of all exterior wood in early 2026, protecting the home for years to come; the addition of a covered grill gazebo; and significant driveway enhancements, including a new culvert, grading, and selective tree removal to improve drainage and accessibility. Quality furnishings and designer selections complement the home's modern aesthetic, including a West Elm dining set, West Elm leather sofa, Pottery Barn king bedroom suite, Crate & Barrel queen storage bed, custom Etsy end tables, and a striking Europa kitchen chandelier. Sellers can include or exclude furnishings, creating the opportunity for a truly turnkey vacation rental or fully furnished mountain retreat. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or income-producing investment, this exceptional cabin offers modern construction, tasteful upgrades, and an established rental history in one of West Virginia's most sought-after mountain destinations.
