Bluestone State Park

We had a very nice 4 night stay in a very comfortable, cozy cabin. Got in on Sunday, and it snowed all night and all day Monday, so we were snowed in, but no worries, we came prepared. The kitchen is equipped with plates, bowls, cups, glasses, silverware, cookware, and assorted utensils. Had a nice cozy living room with a wood burning fireplace. The only thing I would recommend they consider adding are maybe a few ottomans to put your feet up on, but that’s just a personal suggestion. We had satellite tv and plenty of channels. No wifi in the cabins, but we could access free wifi down at the office. Plenty of wood was stocked up for us outside. We had the 2 bedroom cabin, one had a queen bed, one had two twins. We used the one with the two twins to store our gear in. They are small bedrooms, but you need to be realistic. It’s a cabin… in the woods… up on a mountain. The bathroom was small but well appointed. We had everything we needed for a disconnected vacation away from the hustle bustle of life.
The ride up was scenic. You need to take your time in case the wildlife bolts out. Remember they live there, you’re just a visitor. Even with the heavy snow, they kept the roads pretty clear and made sure we were shoveled out promptly. We had no trouble getting up the mountain in our regular 2 wheel drive Kia. The staff at the park was so extremely friendly and helpful. They took very good care of us. We are looking forward to staying here again someday.

I’d say this place rates on the dumpy list.
The cabins are in desperate need of refurbishing. No air conditioner (except for one cabin). Yes, they claim to have a full kitchen but are missing some of the essentials such can openers, paper towels, and sponges.
Wildlife, sure there is plenty. And may even make appearances in your cabin. I have had to put food back in my vehicle because the mice still find their way in and eat from the cereal boxes or the bread that is left out. NASTY. Roll out cots have had dead mice families inside. (It must be a part of cabin living welcoming committee. Guess the help didn’t check the roll out cots for decaying mice before new campers come in).
The bathrooms are pretty gross. The showers are tiny. The shower door never shut properly so you got a nice puddle of water on the floor when you were done (how’s that for irony? You shower to get clean yet you are left cleaning the bathroom when you are done). The supply fresh towels two times during your stay. The bed sheets are ok quality — appropriate for cabin living.
The road to get to the park is windy and needs to be taken quite slow. If a deer jumps out, good luck. Survival isn’t going to be easy because if you go to far over your going off a cliff.
A half step about tent living, at best. It’s on my short list of places that I’d never visit again.
I forgot to add that our fire alarm didn’t work so instead of fixing it the right way they had is out a makeshift one on our table. Good customer service — not!

One of the best kept secrets in WV. Down the road from the resorts and nice Pipestem. Bluestone is old school with great lake access, trails andd fantastic and cheap rustic cabins. It has not changed in my lifetime… Nor should it.
