Most People Have No Idea There’s A Fairy Garden Hiding In West Virginia And It’s Magical

Deep in the West Virginia mountains, in the tiny town of Ghent, there's an enchanted castle with a beautiful fairy garden at its base. It is one of the most magical West Virginia fairy gardens, and, although it's not far off I-77, it's so secret that not even many of the locals know it's here. What makes it so charming? In the garden at the base of the castle stands a tiny, crooked house that's actually a bed and breakfast called Storybook Cottage, and this fairy tale garden in West Virginia is absolutely worth adding to your list of places to visit this year! It's one of the best gardens in West Virginia.

The whimsical tilts and angles of the Storybook Cottage make it a tiny house straight out of a fairytale.

Adding to its charm is its location: the Storybook Cottage is set squarely in the middle of the castle garden.

Jill, the queen of the castle, invites you to munch on any of the edible landscaping you like, and you can even help her and her family with the farm chores if you want!

Just like in the fairytales, friendly animals may check in on you from time to time.

The farm has chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, and other pets.

Inside the tiny house, there's a bedroom with a queen-size bed and a small fold-out desk.

There's also a kitchenette with a sink, a mini-fridge, a breakfast station, a microwave, and a table for two; additionally, Jill often greets visitors with fresh fruit and a loaf of homemade sweet bread.

The whole cottage is always sparkling clean, including this private bathroom complete with an antique clawfoot tub for soaking.

Overnight guests can visit the on-site Ishmael's Tackle Shop to borrow fishing supplies to use at the nearby pond.

Fishing is catch and release only.

If you can't make it to the Storybook Cottage, or if you want to bring a piece of this fairy tale home with you, don't worry!

The owners of the Storybook Cottage also sell custom-built birdhouses, playhouses, and storage sheds so that you can create a fairytale garden right in your very own yard.
