  • If you are curious about staying the night at a cabin in the West Virginia State Park system, this video will give you an inside look at what you can expect. I give this cabin a 9 out of 10 and encourage you all to check out the various accommodations available throughout the West Virginia park system. Almost Heaven... West Virginia...

    I was debating back and forth on whether or not to publish this one, it's not my typical style, but maybe it will be helpful to someone who is thinking of renting here which I 100% recommend! A full length hike of this awesome park will be coming soon, take care everyone!

    Thank you for this! I'm from DE and staying at the cabins next month with my kids and dog. Your video allows me to see what I would need to bring so thanks again!
    My boys are also into star gazing so the fact that you mentioned the great star sightings was an added bonus

      Im so happy to hear that you found some value in the video! I absolutely adore Blackwater Falls West Virginia, and honestly, me and my mother do a fall vacation every year and this was the first place we ever returned too. For a simple guy like me - and i am from southeastern PA so not that far from you - these cabins are just the perfect mix of rustic but also comfortable. I hope you guys have a great time and I also did a video on the park if you want to check it out as well. And if you have clear skies, your jaw will drop at the amazing night skies there!

    Awesome! Definitely not your typical video, but I think that should be ok. Often when I stray from my straightforward hiking guides, my views dip. But I decided I'm just going to make what I want and see how it goes.
    And you and I are so alike... I'm staying at a favorite locale next week and was thinking I'd get videos not just of the state parks, but a video of the accomodations, dining, etc... So I'll have one like this coming soon, too!
    Do you, boo! 😂🤣👍

      Hahaha, you always give me a laugh. I have been wanting to branch out a bit from my bread and butter hiking videos. I realize that's what most people want to see, and it's what I mostly want to do, but as they say variety is the spice of life, lol. I think I am going to do a series pretty soon on a behind the scenes of how I film, like showing how I set up the shots, place cameras, edit, gear I use, all that stuff. But I really appreciate your feedback, and your certainly right it is our channels so we should present them as we like. Looking forward to your upcoming content!

    Cute and cozy, they def need some decor/framed pictures on the walls to make it feel a little more cabin-y. Very clean.

      Would have been nice to see a few pics or decor of the park or other West Virginia attractions, I agree. But then again all those things were walking distance right out the door.

    Gosh! We were here when I was pretty young, maybe in the '60s. I don't recall cabins, I think we tent camped back then. Had the place to ourselves. One of my favorite remembered places... In those days this would have been a pretty "high dollar" place in W. Va.! The ruts are likely from the Propane truck.

    While I definitely prefer hiking videos, I watch reviews as well. I like to get a feel for a place or hear what someone has to say about an item. Bottom line it’s even nicer to see a review from someone you trust and whose opinion you respect.

    How far out did you have to book the cabin?

    • @WALTERZOLNA
      @WALTERZOLNA  Před rokem +1

      I checked with my mother who is the booking agent lol, and she said it's good to get a reservation at least 4 months out. We go on a fall trip every year and usually try to plan our destination and booking sometime in the spring. I seriously love Black water falls though, there is so much to see and even a nice town only about 10 mins outside the park.
