A holiday on West Virginia’s country roads

Hammocks and rocking chairs on wrap-around porches, cosy quilts, antiques and memorabilia, lace tablecloths and warm, hearty, old fashioned American hospitality add to the ingredients of a driving holiday along the country roads of West Virginia.

The Vacations Group arrange Fly Drive itineraries to the region including these 3 top Bed and Breakfast Inns in West Virginia:-

The North Fork Mountain Inn
Often described as “an outpost of luxury in the wilderness” - staying here is like journeying back in time to a slower, simpler paced world. After a sumptuous breakfast, spend the day hiking in the Monongahela forest adjacent to the inn or enjoying the spectacular view of the mountains and valleys from a rocking chair on the Inn’s wraparound porches. Wildlife, wildflowers, birds, smallmouth bass and trout are available in this protected wilderness area while majestic views of the Smoke Hole Canyon are readily available from the porch!

The Inn is convenient for exploring the area. Nearby are the Seneca Rocks and Caverns, Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Blackwater Falls and Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia. There are also the steam rail trips, such as the Cass Scenic Railroad and the Potomac Eagle Train while star gazing is highly recommended at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.

The Thomas Shepherd Inn
Nestled in the scenic lower Shenandoah Valley along the Potomac River and located in downtown Shepherdstown, in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, close to restaurants and speciality shops.

The Thomas Shepherd Inn is only minutes away from Civil War landmarks such as Antietam Battlefield and Harpers Ferry and outdoor activities such as hiking on the Appalachian Trail, biking on the C&O Canal Path or activities on the Potomac River.

The Deerpark Country Inn
Located in Buckhannon, central West Virginia, the Deerpark Country Inn offers two suites and one bedroom in the Inn and three bedrooms in the Lodge. Each bedroom has its own private bath, telephone, television, and air-conditioning, Hiking and fishing are key activities in the area as well as local fairs and festivals, hot air ballooning, whitewater rafting, skiing antiquing and exploring historical sites.
