Description
Circa 1912. The architectural style of a 1912 house is reflected in this comfortable inn. Original works of art, painted by the one of the innkeepers, grace the walls. The second-floor library offers books to savor and finish reading at home. Antique-filled guest bedrooms pamper with fresh flowers, candles, Egyptian cotton or flannel linens, down comforters and fluffy robes. Breakfast is a healthy, low-fat culinary delight, accented with locally made maple syrup. The nearby West Fork River Trail entertains hikers, bicyclists and equestrians.Publicity and Awards: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Clarksburg Exponent-Telegram, Shinnston News, Akron Beacon Journal, Blue Ridge Outdoors, West Virginia State Journal, Charleston Gazette-Mail, Long Weekends, New York Times, WBOY, Speed Channel, WCHS, C-FAX, "Inn to Inn Hiking Guide to the Virginias," Off the Beaten Path- West Virginia, Fourth Edition (vignette), Good Morning West Virginia, Vol. II.Location: City/Urban, Six miles west of I-79, small city (pop. 2 and 300).

Romantic Interest
 The Gillum Room with its 4-poster rice bed Queen-size bed with the warm walnut hue of the woodwork of the now decorative fireplace mantle creates an ambiance of romance. The private bath offers an old-fashioned clawfoot tub (big enough for 2), dimmer switch for that light as well as a large shower. The CD player (with a selection of romantic music available) sets the background tone. The mood can be completed with an arrangement for an in-room massage in the afternoon and a candlelight dinner for 2 in the evening - and we know how to make a lady feel SPECIAL with one of our dinner packages. The gentleman can arrange for a host of romantic things to fit his personal budget that can include flowers, locally made (totally divine) hand-dipped chocolates, champagne, in-room massage or manicure and pedicure, candles...... Kathleen arranges everything the guest requests for his lady. Ladies, we are not sexist - we can arrange a romantic getaway for the man in your life also.
