Sleep in a Tower With Mountain Views in West Virginia

West Virginia has no shortage of dreamy, ethereal vacation rentals. It's entirely possible to spend the night lakeside or even high up in a treehouse. But today's feature destination is one that will take your vacation getaway to the next level. Franklin's Tower is an Airbnb in Tucker County, West Virginia, with spectacular high-altitude views. I'm not sure about you, but when I'm booking a vacation rental, views are always high on my list of priorities. City escapes are great, but what really inspires me is the scenery that connects you to a place, and Franklin's Tower certainly qualifies. Let's dive into what makes this place stand out from the rest -- quite literally.

This breathtaking chalet above the clouds can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests. There are four bedrooms, five beds, and two-and-a-half baths. The location of this property is perfect; it's situated close to West Virginia favorites like Dolly Sods Wilderness (it's got 47 miles of spectacular hiking trails), Otter Creek, Timberline, and Blackwater Falls. But what really stands out about this spot is its remarkable setting. Stay here, and you'll find yourself perched high above Canaan Valley, with mountain views in the distance that will leave you with an unshakable sense of awe.

As far as amenities, this vacation rental is outfitted with everything you'll need for a comfortable space. In addition to loads of room to relax and unwind, there's a fully-stocked kitchen, fireplace, washer, dryer, TV, gaming console, and even a private hot tub.

The bedrooms are comfortable, with simple decor, and are filled with ample natural light. The main bedroom boasts phenomenal sunrise views as well as glimpses of Timberline Mountain.
