Travelers Rest, also known as Old Stone House, is a historic home located near Burlington, Mineral County, West Virginia. It was built as a stagecoach stop to service the Northwestern Turnpike. It serviced the corridor between Winchester, Virginia and Parkersburg, Virginia (now West Virginia). The house is believed to have been built in two phases, in 1827 or as early as 1810, and is a stone, Ell-shaped building executed in a vernacular adaptation of the Greek Revival style.
