There isn’t any doubt that a cabin getaway is the most romantic place for couples or the perfect hideaway for a girls’ trip. A cozy retreat nestled in the woods, a roaring fireplace and no responsibilities or distractions is the perfect recipe for relaxation.
Here are the top reasons a cabin vacation is the best cure for cabin fever, and where in West Virginia to find your escape:
1. Reconnecting
Time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life allows you to recharge as individuals, and time to reconnect with each other. To allow yourselves the opportunity to fully connect while disconnecting from the web, spend a weekend at a cabin in the largest quiet zone on the East Coast. Cell phones and wireless internet are not available in the area surrounding the Green Bank telescope(link is external), because they interfere with the work of scientists and astronomers. You’ll find plenty to do while exploring the small towns or the George Washington National Forest.
2. Pampering Yourselves
There’s no better way to relax than to indulge and pamper yourself— sleep in, take an afternoon nap, soak in the hot tub under the stars or treat yourselves to a massage or spa treatment. Berkeley Springs State Park(link is external) is the perfect cabin-and-spa combo. You can soak in the hot mineral baths and enjoy a variety of spa treatments.
3. Seclusion and Serenity of the Forest
Spending time in nature walking and breathing fresh air reduces stress and fosters closeness. For a quiet and peaceful cabin stay, try a cabin in Pocahontas County, which is largely encompassed by the Monongahela Forest(link is external). Both Seneca State Forest(link is external) and Watoga State Park(link is external) have cozy cabin rentals.
4. Adventuring Together
West Virginia has all types of adventures to enjoy. Choose from activities like rock climbing, whitewater rafting, or hiking. You will bond and make memories as you challenge yourselves to try new things. Cabins in the New River Gorge National River(link is external) area are a wonderful place to relax after a fun day in the outdoors. The New River Gorge is the wildest adventure scene in southern West Virginia, so you’ll be able to play all day and enjoy the comfort of your cabin in the evening.
5. No Responsibilities
The best part of any vacation is leaving behind the housework and chores. Depending on where you stay, you can have daily room service or call for a quick touch-up as needed. The Spring Row Legacy cottages at The Greenbrier(link is external) are not only some of the earliest accommodations overlooking the Springhouse at the resort, they also come with 5-Star service.
6. Exploring Charming Towns
Sightseeing and exploring historic quaint towns are fun ways to spend time together. You’ll be in a new place, trying new things and making memories. We have so many vibrant small towns in West Virginia(link is external), you’ll easily find one that suits your style, and a comfy cabin nearby.
