just take in the spectacular views. Below in the finished
basement, the Recreation Room has a pool table, darts,
board games, cards, and a variety of books and videos
provided for your enjoyment.

bedrooms, each with a queen bed and a private bathroom.
Every room is individually decorated with comfortable

early birds followed by a full, made-to-order breakfast
served between 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. Savor a second cup of
coffee as you take in the views from one of the scenic
decks. Meals are served at individual tables or on the
decks overlooking the lake. Dinner is offered at an
additional cost and is served Tuesday through Sunday.

Inn, made with the freshest of ingredients. After dinner,
you may choose to enjoy the stars with the Inn telescope
or soak in the outdoor hot tub.

Located between the George Washington and Monongahela
National Forests, within thousands of acres of natural forest,
Wildernest Inn is a secluded country inn hideaway. You can
watch the hawks soaring in the sky, the deer at the pond, the
periodic parades of wild turkey, and now and again a visit by
curious black bears. Some challenging and interesting trails
are available on the property for those who feel energetic. At
the bottom of the property, you'll find an almost mile-long
South Mill Creek Lake where guests can make use of the
Wildernest canoe. A two-mile nature trail around the lake lets
guests hike, jog, or fish for trout and bass.
There are many natural attractions nearby, such as Dolly
Soda Wilderness Area, the Smoke Hole and Big Bend Recreation
areas, Seneca Rocks for rock climbing, hiking, and horseback
riding, and Spruce Knob golf course. Canoe and kayak rentals
are available nearby for river trips. |
