This gem of a park is perfect for an active family vacation or a quiet getaway. Bluestone Lake, the third-largest body of water in West Virginia, is formed by the Bluestone Dam just downstream of the confluence of the New and Bluestone Rivers.
The lake provides an array of water activities, including fishing and kayaking and more than 8 miles of trails range through the surrounding hills.

There is a boat ramp if you bring your own vessel or you can rent boats, kayaks, and canoes at the Bluestone marina. Other attractions at Bluestone Lake include games, picnicking, a playground and wading area for younger kids, and weekly nature and family activities put on by staff during the summer.
In the evening, you can retreat to one of the park's 26 cabins.

What are some other cozy accommodations in West Virginia?

In addition to the well-appointed cabins at Bluestone Lake State Park in West Virginia, we discovered this Sheep Farm on VRBO that's a total countryside gem! Located in a quiet, remote pocket of the Appalachian Mountains in Greenbrier County, this sheep farm rental is the stuff of which nostalgic dreams are made. This idyllic farmhouse comes complete with a full kitchen plumbed with spring water of the highest quality. It comes complete with a 40-foot long porch, perfect for taking in the spectacular country views of the Mountain State. What could be a better West Virginia getaway?

If you're looking for more of a classic B&B kind of experience, The Inn at Lost River is peak Mountain State beauty. Nestled in the mountains of the Potomac Highlands along the banks of the Lost River, the Inn at Lost River has welcomed guests to the valleys of West Virginia for nearly 30 years. Housed in an 1880s Folk Victorian Farmhouse with handsome woodwork and original pine floors, The Inn at Lost River is an impossibly charming bed and breakfast in the heart of the Mountain State. It’s also a world unto itself, its sprawling grounds containing an original smokehouse and historic general store, the latter of which has long been a place for folks to gather and congregate. The Inn at Lost River is not simply a destination in the wondrous wilds of West Virginia, it's an experience that will have you marveling over how wonderful and wild WV really is.
