There are so many great options for fun overnight getaways around West Virginia. From country cottages to mountain retreats, waterfront properties to cozy cabins, there are getaways aplenty in West Virginia! But the one we’re featuring today has one of the best views of them all. Sneak away to Bluestone State Park to see for yourself!
Nestled in the mountains beside Bluestone Lake near Hinton, West Virginia, you’ll find Bluestone State Park.
Jim W/Tripadvisor 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.
wvundertaker/Tripadvisor 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.
Melody Jones/Tripadvisor Relax, light a fire in the beautiful stone fireplace (firewood provided!), and enjoy the dusk fall.
The cabins are rustic but comfortable, with well furnished kitchens and comfortable living rooms.
Melody Jones/Tripadvisor But If you prefer to bring your own lodging, camping facilities are also available.
Melody Jones/Tripadvisor In addition to these amenities, when you stay in Bluestone State Park, you have access to Pipestem Resort’s indoor pool and sauna just down the road.
While all the cabins are modern, comfortable, and provide a restful and private setting, cabins 1, 2, and 6 have an extra special feature: a view of the lake, gorge, and mountains out the window.

Cabins in West Virginia October 26, 2022 Sarah M. 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.
