Romantic Getaways near Dolly Sods Wilderness

Two-person cabins and inns with hot tubs, fireplaces and privacy, concentrated around the New River Gorge, Canaan Valley and the Greenbrier Valley. Most listings here sleep four or fewer and sit on their own lot.

Dolly Sods Wilderness covers about 17,000 acres on the Allegheny Front in Tucker, Grant and Randolph counties, at elevations between roughly 2,600 and 4,700 feet. The plateau holds heath barrens, sphagnum bogs and wind-flagged red spruce that look more like Canada than the mid-Atlantic. Access roads are gravel and rough, and Davis, Thomas and Petersburg are the closest towns with lodging.
