✨ STATE 22 COMPLETE! 🇺🇸🏔️ West Virginia, you completely surprised us! ❤️

If you’re looking for a family-friendly hotel in West Virginia that’s full of charm, history, art, and mountain views, you need to add the tygart_hotel in Elkins to your travel list!

🤎 Why we loved our stay:

🍪 Freshly baked cookies waiting for us at check-in
🖼️ Gorgeous local artwork throughout the hotel—it honestly felt like staying in an art museum!
🛏️ Clean, modern, and cozy rooms that were perfect after a day of exploring
🥞 Complimentary breakfast each morning (we loved eating outside on the patio while planning our adventures!)
🏔️ Beautiful mountain scenery all around
🇺🇸 We experienced the sweetest small-town Fourth of July with a classic parade, fireworks, and so many vintage cars that had the girls smiling from ear to ear.
🍽️ Dinner at oxleyhousewv was incredible! There was something for everyone—pasta, fresh salads, hearty comfort food, delicious desserts, and even coloring pages that kept the kids entertained while we relaxed.
🎨 The entire hotel celebrates West Virginia’s history and local artists, making every hallway feel like part of the experience.

💛 This trip was the perfect reminder that some of the best family vacations aren’t about rushing from attraction to attraction—they’re about slowing down, exploring somewhere new, and making memories together.

✔️ 22 states down…28 to go on our journey to visit all 50 states as a family!

🏨 What’s one hotel amenity or special touch that instantly makes a stay unforgettable for your family?
✨ For us, it was the warm cookies, the incredible artwork, and that welcoming small-town charm.
