We recently stayed at this house in Marlinton for a week, while bicycling and exploring the Greenbrier River Trail. Marlinton is about midway along the trail, making access to all parts of the trail easier. The house has been completely upgraded from its original role as a home to a family, probably connected to the logging or mining activities of a century ago. Doors, windows, floors, walls, ceilings, etc have all been replaced, along with all the appliances, so that the house feels very modern and comfortable. The host has fitted individual heat pumps for each room, so that guests in each of the two bedrooms and in the main greatroom can choose their temperature levels. The house is not large (perhaps 900 square feet) so it would be ideal for a family with a couple of kids. It advertises itself as pet-friendly, but we did not detect any ‘pet odors’ so the cleaning is apparently thorough. The doors are equipped with cipher locks, so no fumbling for keys. There is a small front porch, a larger side porch (where we stored our bikes) and a fenced backyard with chairs and a firepit. The house faces the trail, but in front of that is the supply yard for the local farmer’s co-op, so your view is of propane tanks nesting below the mountain. Our host left us a bowl of snacks to munch on while we oriented ourselves after arriving. Much appreciated. She also responded quickly to our questions and requests.
