CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — If you’re looking for some nostalgia and nature on your next vacation, how about staying in a treehouse in West Virginia? From cabin rentals to Airbnbs, West Virginia has options from luxury to primitive.
Holly Rock Treehouse
As pointed out by West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice, the Holly Rock Treehouse from Country Road Cabins was recently featured on an MSN list of treehouse getaways. The cabin, which is actually built in a tree, is near the New River Gorge and West Virginia’s only national park.
It is built for two people and has a canopy bridge, queen-sized bed, small dining area, hot tub and decks in the treetops. For more information and photos, check out the Country Road Cabins website.
