Washington House) is a 19th century plantation house and farm on a horseshoe bend in the South Branch Potomac River north of Romney, West Virginia, United States. The populated area adjacent to Washington Bottom Farm is known as Ridgedale. The farm is connected to West Virginia Route 28 via Washington Road (West Virginia Secondary Route 28/3).

The main house at Washington Bottom Farm was originally constructed circa 1835 by gentleman farmer George W. Washington (1809-1876).
