Lost River Modern

It's Friday and if I could, I'd be off on a weekend getaway. I miss cabins in the mountains... being able to star gaze and slow down a bit. At Lost River Modern in Lost River, West Virginia, it would be easy to do just that. In style, of course.
This is a spacious, modern cabin with lots of big windows to bring in the light and trees. It's designed by Resolution: 4 Architecture, the creators of incredible, jaw dropping abodes, including the original Dwell Home in Pittsboro, North Carolina.
This cabin has a master bedroom, bath and living space on the upper level and downstairs you'll find a second bedroom, bath and media room. All of which is beautifully designed and decorated. You have to appreciate that in a mountain cabin.
They wanted the home to feel as spacious as the five acres it sits on. A pop of vibrant color can be found in each and every room along with the light woods and bamboo flooring. I love that, it makes the space so cozy and inviting.
This cabin is actually a prefab cabin, which means it was built off site. The basement level was built first, then the 64' x 16' prefab module was hauled into place via a large crane. As they say on their site, We were "determined to prove that modern prefab can be both specatacular and affordable." With a budget just over $350,000, I think they've accomplished that and then some.
If you'd like to read more details about the build, check out their extensive blog on the project. The home is a two hour drive from Washington DC, so find out the rental availability and book a weekend trip. The nightly rate starts at just $200- would be great for a girls weekend or a romantic getaway. You deserve it, don't you think?

That's how they transferred the entire house?! Awesome! The facade looks simple but the interior looks so chic.
Great place. Love the design of the bathroom
