Pros: beautiful mountains, intense whitewater rafting Cons: I don't get there often enough
I have been in the state of West Virginia at least once in twelve out of the last fourteen years. I have gone there for whitewater rafting and music festivals. I have also passed through on the way to other adventures. My most recent venture was ...
Pros: Outdoor Lovers Paradise, Great People, Entertainment Cons: None
West Virginia has had its share of inequities, from being associated with some of the best geographical jokes in the U.S., to being considered a place of rife poverty and inbreeding. While it is one of the poorest states in the country, due to its lack ...
Pros: Bathe at the spa where George Washington went! Cons: You'll still have to go back to work on Monday
After a hard day of battling redcoats and founding a new nation, George Washington sure needed a little R-and-R. And where do you think he went? Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, that's where!
Today, the town calls itself the nation's oldest...
Pros: Beautiful town, great galleries Cons: There goes the neighborhood!
Everyone knows of a quaint little town where time seems to have stood still. A place with narrow, tree-lined streets with restored 1800s colonial homes, maybe a few hills for the kids to sled down in the winter, a small town library, with a river nearby...
Pros: Lots to do for people of all ages Cons: Two breakfast coupons and wristbands per room, no matter how many stay in the room
This past summer, Ihad the opportunity to spend a few days at the Oglebay Resort in Wheeling, West Virginia with nine of my relatives. It was a unique experience as their ages spanned the whole spectrum, from my grandmother in her 70s to my...
I’ve been trying to think, since my return 7 days ago, if this was my best vacation ever or not. Ireland probably still bumps it out of first place, but this was cheaper, warmer, and required less moving around. Sadly, the food was about the same...
Pros: beautiful state, nice people, safe, outdoor activities Cons: some backward lifestyles, not much for young adults to do
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
I have lived in West Virginia for the majority of my life. At times I have loved it and at others I have hated the state in which I was born; however, all in all, after much thought, I...
Pros: Small, pleasant West Virginia town with a rich history Cons: Dodging the reenactors in the heat of battle
Tourists who make their way to our Eastern Panhandle community of Charles Town (not to be mistaken for the state capital of Charleston, thank you) are usually attracted to one of our two marvelous race tracks: horses run on the east end of town at the ...
Pros: Lots of outdoor experiences, not much driving between activities. Cons: Not much in the way of outlet malls or major other shopping experiences.
After spending nearly 20 years in the southern part of West Virginia, more than I've spent in any other single place, it became clear to me that the southern part of the state is a unique entity. While there are many traits common throughout the state, ...
Pros: Postcard setting, the food and atmosphere Cons: none, except the distance to get there
Perched high atop a rocky ridge, overlooking the Potomac River, the imposing Bavarian Inn and Lodge makes it's presence known. Having earned AAA's 4 Diamond Award 16 years in a row, a visit here is sure to be memorable.
Pros: West Virginia is a Beautiful State Cons: None
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
First I would like to say I wanted to put this opinion in the "Kids and Family Editorials",but they did away with that category. I thought about putting it in the Motorcycle...
Pros: Beautiful setting & decor, the food! Cons: It's pricey
Call it a rare gem, a hidden treasure, or the ultimate get-away, the Hillbrook Country House Hotel will most definitely hold many surprises for you. Known by only a privileged few, it is one of the best kept secrets anywhere in the area. Even most locals...
I am originally from the Washington D.C. area, but I came to West Virginia to go to college at Davis & Elkins College. The very first time I saw the state, it was love at first sight. I always viewed...
Pros: scenic, quiet, unrushed Cons: Can be hard to get here
Let me invite all of you to come see West Virginia. I have lived here all my life, and I really wouldn't want to live anywhere else. You see, I have been to the Midwest, but I feel lost without the mountains around me.
As a life-long resident of the Mountain State (and one who barely knows how to operate a microwave oven) I have had the opportunity to eat at a lot of different restaurants. So, if you are traveling through one of the areas I mention below, and are in...
