With National Plan For Vacation Day approaching on January 31, now is the best time to start planning your dream getaway to West Virginia! The first step in organizing a vacation is finding a place to stay. From one-of-a-kind overnight stays to the convenient comforts of home, these five unique vacation rentals are waiting for you this year in Mercer County.
Unique Dome House Retreat in Appalachia – Roque Properties
Flat Top, West Virginia
Breaking the mold of cookie-cutter hotels, this futuristic dome house is a relaxing retreat. Tucked away in the mountains, enjoy the sounds of nature while taking in some of the most scenic views of the county from the observatory areas at the top of the house. But just because it feels like an off-grid oasis, doesn’t mean there aren’t any modern amenities. The vacation rental comes equipped with a full kitchen, two bathrooms, central air conditioning and heating, WiFi and more. Spend your time exploring the 10-acre property or take advantage of the rental’s close proximity to all the Mercer County adventures like skiing, hiking and mountain biking.

If going off-road is on your outdoor bucket list this year, then we’ve got the place for you to stay! The name says it all — Mountain Escapes is a rider’s paradise. This four-bedroom vacation rental is within riding distance of the Hatfield-McCoy Trails, so you won’t even need to get back in your truck until you are ready to go home. The home is located five miles from Trail 10 (Pocahontas Trail), seven miles from Trail 17 (Pocahontas Trail) and one mile from ATV rentals and a grocery store. Kick up some dust all day long on the trails then unwind in the evenings by the fire pit. The amenities at Mountain Escapes include a full kitchen, central air conditioning and heating, WiFi, a game room and more!
Camp Creek Cabins – On Cue Properties
Camp Creek, West Virginia
This vacation rental is the full package — secluded, yet conveniently located near one of our beautiful state parks. When booking a stay with On Cue Properties, choose from their three rentals near Camp Creek State Park: The Country Cottage, The Lodge, and The Retreat. For solo adventurers or couples looking for a romantic getaway, The Country Cottage is a great option! The adorable studio cottage has a warm and cozy atmosphere and includes a nice deck to enjoy morning coffee and a fire pit for cool mountain evenings. For larger groups, book a stay at The Lodge (an ample space that feels like a home-away-from-home) or The Retreat (a luxury home with plenty of room for entertaining). All three vacation homes are situated on a 53-acre property that features walking trails and a small pond. In addition to being right beside Camp Creek State Park, these rentals are less than seven miles from Winterplace Ski Resort, close to UTV and ATV trails and 20 minutes from Pipestem Resort State Park.
