West Virginia is the perfect place for outdoor lovers. During the warmer months the state offers a variety of ways to unplug and get in touch with nature.
Locals and visitors can enjoy a hike on the rugged trails in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, wander the Waterfall Trail or scale a rock face at New River Gorge, known for some of the best climbing on the East Coast. And, when winter rolls into the “Mountain State” skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, sledding, and snowmobiling become the adventures of choice.
After a long day of outdoor activity, you’ll want to relax and unwind in a cozy space of your own. Perhaps no other form of architecture is more strongly associated with West Virginia than the old-fashioned log cabin and hewn timber frame home. These modest houses provide a timeless, rustic appeal that aligns with West Virginia’s natural scenery and historic Appalachian roots. A popular choice for both vacation getaways and primary residences, WHS Homes, Inc.’s in-house design department creates log, post and beam and hybrid home designs that fit the traditional vernacular of the area, blending seamlessly into the tall pines and mountainous landscape.
