Have you started making your summer vacation plans yet? There are so many great spots to plan a fabulous summer vacation right here in West Virginia, from state park adventure resorts to primitive campgrounds and a little bit of everything in between. But one of the most fun, especially if you love sand and sun, is a week on the water at Sutton Lake in a houseboat that transforms into your own private floating villa with acres and acres of water and shoreline to explore!

For all our advances in information and technology, sometimes animals really are smarter than people. Take this duck, for example. Here she is, floating along on Sutton Lake, without a care in the world. How genius is that?

And if you're smart, you'll make plans to join her... by renting a houseboat from Sutton Lake Marina and getting away for a few days of rest and relaxation on the lake this summer.

Once here, let the cares of the world go. Instead, spend the days enjoying the beautiful, clear water of Sutton Lake, surrounded as it is by mountain views so wild and sunshine so bright you'll never want to leave. With 1,440 acres of lake surface and 44 miles of shoreline, there's always some new inlet to explore!
