Marilyn and I took a mid-week break this past week and visited the Stonewall Resort in Roanoke, West Virginia. What a find, and what an absolute gem of a place. Only a 2 and 1/2 hour drive down I-79 from Pittsburgh, the resort offers a beautiful setting (picture above is the view from our room), lots of cool recreational activities, hiking trails, great food, and a gorgeous, yet player friendly Arnold Palmer designed golf course (well, the 17th hole may not be all that friendly, but I digress).
One activity involves feeding of fish from dockside:
There is a very nice pool area:
And did I mention the great food?
About 12 miles south of Clarksburg, the Stonewall Resort is located on Stonewall Jackson Lake inside of Stonewall Jackson State Park. Want to take a guess at who is the most famous person born in that part of West Virgina is (although it was still Virginia when he was born)?
The resort also offers lots of both boating and fishing opportunities,neither of which are our particular cup of tea, but if that's what you are into, you can avail yourself of those activities.
It's a great place to spend a few days and recharge your batteries, it's not over-the-top expensive, and it's an easy drive to get there.
I'm sure that we will be back.
