When we travel, my family and I often opt to stay in a vacation rental rather than a hotel for a variety of reasons, one of which is space. But you know what I miss the most about vacation rentals vs. hotels? The pool. That's why I especially love this list. Here in West Virginia, you can book the best of both worlds at any one of these highly-rated West Virginia Airbnb vacation rentals that all come complete with pools (or pool access). Now that is my kind of stay!

2. Chalet in Canaan Valley, West Virginia

This two-bedroom, one-bathroom chalet with space for up to six guests is centrally located in Canaan Valley's Black Bear Resort. The resort features a heated outdoor pool that's open seasonally, and if you're a guest of this cabin when the pool is open, use of the pool is included in your stay.
