“Guest House Better than Anticipated”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2008
2
people found this review helpful

My partner and I stayed at the Guest House at Lost River November 14-16, 2008. We had heard positive things about the guest house from friends and acquaintances in the Washington, DC area and, this being our anniversary, we decided to make a trip there for a romantic weekend. I found their website and made our arrangements via email and the telephone. Tammy, who handled our reservation, was very pleasant and immediately gave us a good vibe about the place. We arrived early in the evening of the 14th and were greeted by Tammy. She handed us over to Kevin to show us around the house and to our room. He introduced us to Bob and David, the proprietors, and then proceeded to show us the excellent facilities and accommodations, which include a weight and exercise room; a comfortable TV room; with a good selection of movies and satellite cable; an outdoor pool and jacuzzi (closed for the winter); indoor jacuzzi and steamroom; pool table; large and comfortable public seating areas; convenience area with refrigerator, coffeemaker, and wetbar; restaurant; and full-service bar. He then showed us to our room, which was very pleasantly appointed and comfortable. We had reservations in the restaurant at 7:00 PM, so we stopped at the bar for a drink where we had a pleasant conversation with Kevin and some of the other guests in front of the fireplace. We then went to the dining room for an excellent and romantic dinner. A full breakfast is included with the accommodations and it is served promptly at 9:00 AM. As we got ready in the morning, we suddenly heard a bell ringing outside, alerting us to the fact that it was indeed 9:00 AM and breakfast time. Our freshly prepared breakfast was served by the hosts, Bob and David, and included coffee, tea, juice, fruit cup, biscuits, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Everything was served family style with the other guests, at large tables. It was great getting to know some of the other people staying at the guest house. We stayed at the guest house for two nights and loved it. Everyone who works there made us feel welcome and treated us very well. We’ll definitely be back.

  • Liked — Friendliness of the staff, coziness of the facilities

“One Word - Peaceful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2008

My husband and I stumbled upon this peaceful and enchanting B&B through the recommendation of a friend. Everyone is wonderfully friendly and we have made many new friends there. While it is run by a gay couple, everyone is definitely made to feel comfortable and welcomed. This is such a rare find in this area, it is one of the nicest places we have ever happened upon. The food menu changes about every 2 weeks and they always offer a vegetarian menu which is a plus. Service is impeccable, rooms are very nice and the whole place is spotless. Terrific bar with fireplace. The whole place looks like it was plucked from the Colorado Rockies and placed in Lost River. Close to the metro area but miles from everyday life. This place just feels like coming home!

  • Liked — So clean and comfortable, quiet.
  • Disliked — I think I would need at least a months stay to figure that one out! The place is Terrific!

“Peace at The Guest House at Lost River, WV”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 5, 2007

people found this review helpful

The Guest House at Lost River, WV is your escape from today's hustle and bustle life styles. This is a gay-owned resort with 16 rooms with king and queen sized beds. Several guest houses are also available on-site, as is a first class dining experience. While being gay-friendly there were also lesbian couples, as well as straight couples. I felt at ease from the minute I walked on the establishment. This is a mature atmosphere that is peaceful and classy. No nudity or late night partying, just a relaxing, quiet getaway for you and your loved one. No kids or pets are allowed and the rooms are spotless. The owners are more than accomodating and go out of their way to make everyone staying there comfortable and welcomed. What a TERRIFIC experience. My life partner and I can't wait to go back.

  • Liked — The restaurant and the quiet country setting
  • Disliked — Shower and bathroom could be a little larger

“Wonderful getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2006

Excellent cottage-style B&B

Rooms were clean and comfortable but not luxurious. Cottage / country style. They provided good quality toiletries.

Facilities were great. Indoor & Outdoor jaccuzzis, Outdoor pool, sauna/steam room, massage area with prof massues @ $70 /hr, game room, well-equipped exercise room, several excellent pool tables, wide variety of different sitting areas, enclosed and open.

Good quality Wi-Fi available everywhere.
because it is such a secluded area, cellphones do not work here (A pro, if you ask me)

Great restaurant for dinner. Bar with food for lunch was excellent.
Breakfast is served promptly at 9AM in a medium sized room where you can get to meet your fellow patrons.

For the not-so-open-minded, the large number of gay patrons may be discomforting.

My wife and I had a great time. We spent most of the time at the complex and my wife loved her massage. A short trip to the local state park (Lost River Park) was a lot of fun and they have great activities there also. Very inexpensive horseback riding.

We definately go back.

Stayed August 2006
