"Lighthorse Harry" Lee Cabin, also known as Lee Cabin, is a historic home located in Lost River State Park, near Mathias, Hardy County, West Virginia. It was built about 1800, and is a two-story, frame and hewn-log structure. It was built by Light Horse Harry Lee (1756-1818) as a summer retreat from the heat of their eastern Virginia home. The property remained in the Lee family until 1879. The State of West Virginia acquired it in the 1930s as a portion of Lost River State Park and the state operates it as a museum.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
