Background 
Located in the rolling hills
of the Hans Creek Valley, the Larew Cottage is a Craftsman style
farm house built in 1920 and recently restored. The Larew Family
built the home using timber from the farm, and the spacious living
area served the family well as they raised ten children.
The cottage sits on a working
farm that the Larew family has operated for more than 200 years.
Woodland and pastures on the farm create a peaceful and natural
setting. It is common to see deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife.
The closest village, Greenville,
has remained nearly unchanged for the past 100 years. The community
is still home to one post office, one local bank, and one food
store. The surrounding communities compliment Greenville with
quaint diners, interesting historical sites, and varied recreational
opportunities.
The community of Greenville and the Larew Cottage are located
in Monroe County, West Virginia. Over one hundred years ago,
people came from all over the eastern United States to visit
the therapeutic sulphur springs in the area. Most of those spas
have closed but Monroe County remains an attractive
destination.
