This West Virginia Airbnb Is Like Stepping onto the Set of a Harry Potter Movie

One of the best parts about staying in a thoughtfully designed vacation home is that it can take you outside of yourself in the best way possible. And, in the case of one particularly creative Airbnb, you'll be transported to the magical realm of Harry Potter. This enchanted home is located just a short drive from the New River Gorge National Park, making it the perfect home base for all kinds of adventure. Of course, no one could blame you for staying put for your entire vacation; the space is that magical.

Whether you're a self-proclaimed Potterhead or vaguely familiar with the series, you won't be immune to the charms of West Virginia's very own Wizard House, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom Airbnb in Oak Hill. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's one of the most loved homes on Airbnb, having garnered nearly 200 five-star reviews.

Step inside and you'll feel as though you're a new student arriving at Hogwarts. The hosts have committed to bringing the series to life, and the details are remarkable. The living room doubles as a tiny Great Hall, complete with floating candles and a sorting hat.

One of my favorite spaces in the entire house is the kitchen. It's fully stocked and a creative replica of Honeydukes, featuring delightful treats and whimsical pops of color. In fact, the candy shop is inspired by the owner's young daughter, and you'll find candy everywhere—even embedded within the countertops! Craving something sweet? You can purchase something from the delightful candy shop.

The house is decidedly cozy, but what it lacks in space it more than makes up for in creativity. Rather than a full dining table, for example, the kitchen features a counter and six stools, plus TV tray tables, which are in the living room.

When you're ready to call it a night, you'll love the chance to retire to the main bedroom, complete with portraits and tapestries on the wall. Harry Potter fans will immediately recognize this as the Gryffindor Common Room.

The other bedroom, known as the Tent Room, will make you feel like you're witnessing a Quidditch tournament. Themed pillows, twinkle lights, and hand-sewn quilts are just some of the details that really set this space apart.

As you can see, this Airbnb is a world unto itself, requiring no reason to leave. But if you do feel inspired to explore, so many adventures are just beyond your doorstep. The New River Gorge National Park, one of West Virginia's most esteemed natural wonders, is just a 45-minute drive away. And in case that wasn't exciting enough, the home features its very own herbology-themed escape room, filled with potions and puzzles!

Plus, the reviews are glowing. One recent travel summed up her experience perfectly: "An amazing, one of a kind, stay. The kids LOVED the decor and especially enjoyed the escape room...Everything was clean and the details showed so much thoughtful care."
