As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Yurts are becoming more popular and for good reasons. For one thing, we love the circular design. This makes them both more spacious and cozier than many alternatives. Plus, they are usually placed right in the midst of a natural setting. We have an amazing recommendation if you want to stay in a yurt in West Virginia.

The Spruce Knob Mountain Center in the Potomac Highlands offers a neat and eco-friendly escape. Less than a mile from the highest point in West Virginia, this is a place you will want to stay. The setting at Knob Mountain is gorgeous. The grounds are spacious, well-considered, and maintained.

There are many lovely places to explore all around the area, which borders the Monongahela National Forest.

Let’s begin with the Whispering Spruce Trail which is a short drive away.

The stones you see everywhere are known as Seneca Rock. It is Tuscarora Sandstone and has been here for about 425 million years. The pressure it’s endured over time has made it an erosion-resistant substance.
Make the time for a beautiful sunset.
