The space
Basswood is a historical home in the quaint town of Capon Bridge, West Virginia that was lovingly renovated in 2021 to include five unique and private suites. You'll find wide plank wood floors throughout the building as well as ornate window and door moulding's that have been carefully preserved. The space has been furnished with beautiful antiques, mid-century modern flare and is interspersed with work from local artists.
The Paw Paw Suite is beautifully bright and airy and is located on the first floor of Basswood. No stairs to deal with, except a couple on the front porch. Inside you'll find a private bedroom with a dreamy queen size bed, desk, sitting nook, and kitchenette equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig with coffee & tea, and basic kitchen items like mugs, glasses, and utensils.
The Paw Paw Suite is truly unique because it has a large, double shower to be enjoyed and relaxed in for a truly spa-like experience. You'll also find basic amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in addition to ultra-soft cotton towels.

Outside, you'll find yourself perched above the Cacapon River, with easy access to dip your toes in, a few minutes down the road at nearby cafe and venue, The River House. The river is great for kayaking, canoeing, or tubing and you'll find tips on where to start and finish upon your arrival to Basswood. Be mindful that the outside space is shared among guests but you'll have plenty of nooks to sit and read a book or enjoy the sunshine.
Across the street, the Farmer's Daughter Market & Butcher has consistently won multiple awards over the years, such as Best Burger in WV, Best Butcher in WV and over a half-dozen Good Food Awards. You'll find all your grocery necessities and locally-made products.
