I wouldn't be able to comment on the food, we never saw it. Very poor service. When we decided to leave after waiting 30 minutes - with no menus, or any service at all, we were asked if we had wanted dinner (they had an outdoor concert going on), we said we had wanted dinner. The manager(?) asked, well, did you make a reservation first? (There were a lot of empty tables) and did you tell us you wanted dinner? (Gee, order dinner, at a restaurant, what a concept?) Better off going to the Grill, if you are eating in the area. read more

Gary and Jesse put in 110% to ensure that each and every guest is taken care of. They are kind and welcoming and clearly passionate about their enterprise. This place is a treasure and the restaurant (and the breakfast, and the bar) is world class. Every plate coming out of the kitchen was a masterpiece. Best salmon I've ever had, I ate it happily two nights in a row. Thanks for taking care of us. read more

My husband and I *just* returned from a weekend getaway to the Guesthouse. We decided to book the trip because of a LivingSocial deal and a recommendation from a good friend. Deciding to enjoy a weekend away to the fullest, we chose to upgrade to the fancy, Guesthouse Suite. After having stayed there, we don't think we ever will stay in a different suite--we loved it. From the moment we called to make the reservation, the owner was friendly and hilarious. My husband was curious who I was talking to as I was laughing so much. When we arrived, we were given a walking tour of the grounds and brought to our suite. The suite's highlights (for this couple at least) were a king-sized bed, a double-sided fireplace (to enjoy from both the bedroom and the living room.) and a ginormous private balcony (where a majority of our time was spent). The LivingSocial deal came with two $25 dinner vouchers and 2 bottles of wine (a white and a red). Naturally, we made reservations at the Guesthouse Restaurant for both Friday and Saturday night. Both nights we were in food heaven. I was *very* surprised to read the negative reviews of the restaurant because not only was the food delicious, the servers were attentive and friendly and the view from our table was stunning at sunset. While staying, we read on our balcony, used the indoor hot tub, put together a puzzle, met other guests over family-style breakfast and elected to get massages. We drove home today relaxed and already determined to make this a yearly event. Highly recommend. read more

went away this past weekend with my bf to this amazing bed and breakfast in west virginia. i found the Guest House through Washingtonian Magazine, i was browsing through google to find a unique place to go to that i knew me and the bf would enjoy. i stumbled across this website and fell in love!!! considering how LUXURIOUS and frickin wonderful this place is, it is SO CHEAP for what you get!!!! this place run by bob & dave (the best host's ever!) is nestled in the mountains of lost river, wv off a beaten road. but if my trusty prius can make it there, ANY car can make it there!! remember to follow the directions on the website to get there and NOT your navigation!!! you WILL get lost if u use the navi... trust me... anyways, the Guest House has a TV room, and indoor AND outdoor hot tub...a fully stocked bar that is self serve, a pool that overlooks the gorgeous mountainside, a massage room where you can get a hour long massage with the onsite masseuse, you can bring your DOG ..OR a HORSE if you have one!!!!!! they have a fenced in area up front where they have one of their horses grazing about.. her name is sassy..so cute!! anyways, the accommodations are indescribable...truly... the rooms are super cute and relaxing, each has its own bathroom and a huugee bed to relax in. in the morning everyone comes around family style to the dining room for some fresh eggs, biscuits, piping hot coffee/tea, crispy bacon and hash browns. u get to mingle with all the guests there, we met some great people while we were staying there!! my bf and i have already decided to make this a yearly trip, i only hope that more people will be able to experience this WONDERFUL B&B!!! btw, there are tons of great antique stores to browse and a state park down the street from there that has tons of trails to hike if u want to go off site. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. The rooms are cozy and very comfortable. The shared public spaces are so welcoming and charming. They have a very larger selection of magazines that I spend an entire afternoon flipping through the pages. The bar is absolutely fantastic. Dinner in the dining room was delicious. The staff cannot be any more accommodating and the owners, are hands down the best hosts! Highly recommended!! read more

Had a really great New Years Weekend with 16 friends. The food is great, the common spaces are very comfortable, the vibe is friendly, and much more. I highly recommend this escape to friends on the East Coast. read more

In my opinion the owner had a bad attitude last couple of times and we were regular customers that always treated the place w/ respect. The authentic log cabins at Lost River State Park are a better value plus located right in the State Park w/ horseback riding etc read more

This remains geographically a great place to get away for a quiet few days. The new owners post 2 years are growing into their roles. I think the goal of the place has changed where before the owners had a vision of a gay-lesbian community in the 'almost heaven lands of WV" and the place thrived with such a welcome. The place remains a great get away yet with their marketing to more the straight community - even families with children - (we found out our weekend was "family weekend") - it is not so a place for the GLTB community. I think their goal is to make it succeed -- all well and good but when one does not have a vision then....?? They seek to be a 5 star guesthouse - food medicare and overpriced. If you go -- go to the delicious and casual Lost River Grill. The Guesthouse Bartender still has not learned to make a decent drink "yes a Gin Martini does need dry vermouth"). Our maid service was a call up "do you want more towels" - so tidy room never done. I would come back yet after each visit I keep looking is there another nice, welcoming B/B close to DC. read more

That was just one bad night...the owners are great and go out of their way for guests. Great place for drinks, dinner or even just an appetizer. Try the flatbread pizza. read more

We stayed for a Friday and Saturday and ate at the restaurant both evenings. I had been to the Guesthouse years before and hoped my memory served me right. It was even better than I remembered. The decor is sophisticated and rustic and the staff is warm and professional. You feel the friendliness of it's country setting with an attention to detail and quality of service that is usually reserved for pricey resorts. The food was terrific. Homestyle served up with a smile. We had bourbon cocktails and 3 courses. The timing of the food and drinks was impeccable. The curried pumpkin soup and short rib were standouts, but a close 2nd were the flavorful French onion and perfectly cooked, thick pork chop. The owners went out of their way to individually welcome you and show you around. The grounds are spectacular and meticulously maintained. Great for a romantic getaway or large group. The country breakfast, served family-style when the bell was rung, was a delightful final touch. read more
