After You Hike To The Highest Point In The State, Sleep In A Yurt At Spruce Knob Mountain Center In West Virginia

Yurts are becoming more popular and for good reasons. For one thing, we love the circular design. This makes them both more spacious and cozier than many alternatives. Plus, they are usually placed right in the midst of a natural setting. We have an amazing recommendation if you want to stay in a yurt in West Virginia.

The Spruce Knob Mountain Center in the Potomac Highlands offers a neat and eco-friendly escape. Less than a mile from the highest point in West Virginia, this is a place you will want to stay. The setting at Knob Mountain is gorgeous. The grounds are spacious, well-considered, and maintained.

There are many lovely places to explore all around the area, which borders the Monongahela National Forest.

Let’s begin with the Whispering Spruce Trail which is a short drive away.

It is an easy hike that offers amazing views.

Stunning. What a sight to behold!

The observation tower is located at the highest point in West Virginia.

Climb up here and see what it all looks like from 4,863 feet.

Another extraordinary overlook.

The stones you see everywhere are known as Seneca Rock. It is Tuscarora Sandstone and has been here for about 425 million years. The pressure it’s endured over time has made it an erosion-resistant substance.

Make the time for a beautiful sunset.

It's also worth catching a sunrise at Spruce Knob.

The night sky is darker here. You will see stars you have never seen before.

Breathtaking views are one good reason to venture to this part of West Virginia.

The Spruce Knob Mountain Center is where you find the yurt!

It is an active space for summer camps, community education, and other fun activities. The property is on 400 acres of a high-elation nature preserve.

Ulan Bator, the larger building, was built in the 1970s and modeled after Mongolian-style yurts.

Inside you will find a kitchen, dining area, a library, and a third-level bedroom with a skylight.

Here is a full kitchen with enough supplies to meet all your needs.

It's also the perfect place to prepare food for a larger gathering. The space is amazing for family reunions and retreats.

If you love nature and also dream of a large private library, you are the target demographic of this yurt.

A rainy day wouldn't be so bad here...

Imagine falling asleep under the skylight.

The smaller yurt next door, Ulan Bator, can be used for all sorts of activities.

Hanging out by a fire after a day of exploration seems like a plan.

Winter is also a nice time to stay.

Remember to bring your snow shoes!
