A West Virginia State Park getaway is tops on our list. Many of the parks have cabins and campgrounds that provide ample opportunity to reconnect with nature – and each other; and a few, like Tygart Lake State Park, even have a lodge perfect for extended families and groups (think weddings, reunions, etc.).

Perched on the picturesque shores of Tygart Lake, the state park’s lodge is beautiful on both the inside and the out.

Inside, the clean retro lines combined with modern decor create a sense of warmth, especially in the spacious lobby. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide a view of the lake from every corner of the room.

The rustic lodge mixed with modern flair carries into the guest rooms where the rustic plank ceiling is a lovely, woodsy touch.

Outside, the fresh air and lake views provide a relaxing and welcome addition to any vacation, long or short.
