Marlinton, West Virginia

December 14, 2017 By admin

Making your home in Marlinton, WV, allows you to experience all that wild, wonderful West Virginia has to offer while still being close enough to civilization to send your kids to school! You’re a stone’s throw (roughly 27.8 miles) from a luxury resort with 278 acres of skiable mountain slopes. You can hop in a canoe, on a bike or just lace up your jogging shoes to take on the Greenbrier River Trail. You can visit two state parks and a national forest in a single day. If you really want to mix it up, you can attend an evening of arts and culture at the Pocahontas County Opera House and the very next day sample iguana nachos at the West Virginia Roadkill Cook-off. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
